Steam appears to have had a stroke of genius once more... NOT! Today I got banned 3 times for "advertising a web site" which must mean having [toj.cc] in my name. This was on 2 different ego servers and one public server. I have also never ever been banned before therefore I am assuming it's some automatic process added to Steam. The duration I played before I was banned from each server also varied greatly from a couple of minutes to several hours after I had been playing there. Anyway can anyone else confirm an update that has caused this or should I look elsewhere for an explanation? (please don't remove your toj.cc yet I may be wrong IDK)
It's pretty bad when Valve prohibits web sites in names but does nothing about sprays, I guess they are ok -_-. I am actually pretty upset because having toj.cc in my name let me do something positive via an otherwise frivolous game. I will have to test to see if you can still give out website names via chat now.
Just before this happened I registered for a TF2 contest under my gaming name which has the tag in it so I hope it doesn't cause problems there as well.
On a possibly related note I was playing earlier that day and was switched to the same server multiple times after I had already canceled a map download (CP_Redstone_b2 on a Q clan server) it finally stopped sending me there but it was a weird glitch.
