TF2 Voting alternative?

I currently use customvotes which is frankly broken. What is a better 
voting system other then the flaky tf2 voting.... I need commands like 
votemap, votemute, voteban, and votekick.

Just a pre thank you for all your help.

-Eric

- Fixed dedicated server not receiving restart requests when updates are released
- Fixed IP bans not applying to RCON access
- Fixed server crash exploit related to audio buffer overruns
- Fixed server crash caused by using changelevel2
- Updated console logging system to minimize opening and closing of files, greatly improving performance
under certain conditions

- Fixed a problem that allowed malicious clients to disable the "ping" and "status" commands for other
connected clients
- Fatal engine errors are now written to the server log file
- Added sv_lowedict_threshold and sv_lowedict_action which allow the engine to take action before
running out of free edicts
   - Possible values for sv_lowedict_action are: 0 - no action, 1 - warn to log file, 2 - attempt to restart the
game, if applicable, 3 - restart the map, 4 - go to the next map in the map cycle

Re: Mandatory CS:S update coming

Think we can get a sync for the TF2 branch, having CS:S on the same update
timeline as the GOOD servers is a little uncomfortable. Next they'll be
asking to vote and drive themselves to market.

rcon sv_pure issue

*rcon issue *
I have a strange issue with my installed dods server.

Mod's: dblocker
Cfg's: esl match cfg's

server.cfg has a line with sv_pure 2
autoexec.cfg has a line with sv_pure 2

How i start the server:
-game dod -autoupdate -restart -pidfile xxx.pid +map dod_anzio +ip 
xx.xx.xx.xx -port xxxxx +maxplayers 14 -condebug +tv_port 27011 -verify_all

The issue is that i get different output if i have entered the rcon 
password:

Without the rcon password and normal exec of the cvar in console outputs 
this:

    Quote: sv_pure
    --------------------------------------------------------
    ]sv_pure:

    If set to 1, the server will force all client files except the
    whitelisted ones (in pure_server_whitelist.txt) to match the
    server's files.

    If set to 2, the server will force all client files to come from
    Steam (and it will not load pure_server_whitelist.txt).

[hlds] HLDS ddos attacks [spoofed IPs]

Hello,

For the last few days I've been attacked by a big(huge) number of international IPs [Russia, USA, Korea,
China, Italy etc..]. It's obviously a ddos attacks, so at first I tried different protections (iptables
rules, apf, csf firewalls, ddos deflate and none of them helped). I also asked my ISP to stop all the
international traffic, but that didn't help either because the IPs are spoofed. Is there any protection
from these kinds of attacks and if yes, what is it?

Policy of truth

Last week the TF2 team banned some server groups that were in violation of the Policy of Truth.

We received numerous complaints from server operators about a handful of servers, and we investigated
those reports.  Any action we have taken was based upon violations that we witnessed firsthand.

Bans are applied to the group itself, not to any particular IP address range.

These bans will last 6 weeks.

Thank you,
The Team Fortress Team
