Hi,
I'm not sure if it's the right place for posting but today i came across some Csgo idle servers which are running Coinhive JS Miner silently on clients.

My antivirus gave me a warning when i entered these servers that it loads a Monero miner. Also you can feel the Fps drops and see %100 CPU usage while you are on this server.

Pay attention to such servers and report them to keep people safe.

Can you private message me with some IP addresses and server names where you saw this?

Totally no. I can't think now any suspicious/harmful metamod plugins.

How about dont do this.
We dont need valve completely removing motds just because 1 dude wants to act like a fool with his server.
If its a big issue simply dont play on the server.

The problem is, if one started this other will follow that way. Same was with fakeservers in hlds. One guy started with redirectfarms to collect players and a few weeks later the hole steam server browser was flooded with them.
More sooner than later others will do it the same way.
