I just now noticed, no summer update?

One thing I would like to see the TF2 team to do is make it easier to kick cheaters. If someone creates a fresh Steam account with no games other than TF2 it should require less than a majority (maybe 5 or 4 votes) to kick someone for hacking. Maybe if a new account comes from an IP address or has any hardware IDs for previously VAC banned account it's also easier to kick them by default.

If they record the MAC address of cheating players, there's really no excuse for allowing people to play online from that computer again in the first place.

Well it is very easy to change the MAC address of your computer's NIC but it probably would cut down on at least some of the cheaters.

I have a friend who does firewall security for IBM. He's always said, "You can't ever make something 100% secure, all you can do is keep raising the bar and make it not worth their time." So every small hurdle to inconvenience a cheater creating a new account is worth doing.
