Periodic kicks

Every once in a while our CZ server kicks anyone who tries to connect. There's no reason other than "Kicked". We run AMX Mod but have absolutely no plugins that kick people automatically.

We also run a regular CS server with AMX Mod and the same plugins (stats, team balancer, etc.), and this server never kicks people.

unusual not get a message in the console. There are times when a mass kick does happen, such as svc_bad, but these always have a console message.

The server console says:

Dropped [PU]Picco from server
Reason: Kicked

check your amx logs. Also note that if your team balancer is a PTB, there is an option on that to kick WTJ'ers.

There's nothing of relevance in the AMX logs. Also, WTJ can't have anything to do with it, since I don't even get to load the map.

This appears to be a STEAM issue.
My 2 CZ servers both do it...It kicks people right at connect.
All they get is a message saying Disconnected from server...Reason : KIcked.

I have removed Metamod and all plugins for the server so that it is a barebones install and it still does it.

sending a restart command to the server sometimes helps, or changing the map sometimes helps.
But even once it starts letting people in again, it still randomly does it to some.



COME ON VALVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!!
