This is a introduction to fixing the server browser spam in CS:S
This spam looks like this.



or like this



The latter are just fake servers, that you can't even connect to because the IPs are fake.
In this guide I will be showing you how to fix it.

First things first, you want to download the server blacklist from here[github.com]
(thanks to Ballganda for this updated list)


There should be a download raw file at the right side of the page



After you've downloaded it, open CS:S and open the server browser and switch to the "blacklisted servers" tab

Click "import servers from file" at the bottom




A file picker should appear and you should select the server_blacklist.txt file you downloaded, the game should freeze for a bit and servers will appear in the blacklisted servers tab.


If this does not work for you, copy over the server_blacklist.txt file to the cstrike/cfg folder.

After you've imported the server blacklist, your server browser should look like this



If some new servers appear, right click and add to blacklist, if there are a lot, click one then hold shift and click the one you want to end on and right click and add to blacklist. (game might freeze during this)
