Had an idea, which still is an idea but it could be interesting. Usually alot of big networks and sites have IRC channels or other things, used among other things for socialising, but also to call an admin in case there is none on the servers already. While writing this I currently see 800 people online and 250 ingame that are in the group.
The AD Steam group has it's own chat room as well that can be used for the same means. Hell, it's pretty much set up in the same way. The idea is basically (to make it easier for players that might need help to remove a "mingebagger"(spelling?) or cheater on a server while no one is around) to at least try and have an admin or two in the chat, so there's at least a way to contact someone. Plus it's a great social platform as well if you get enough people in the chat as well.
Viable/not viable?

The only issue is that with the group chat it doesn't make any kind of noise if you're ingame to let you know someone sent a message so your message about a mingebag might go un-noticed for hours, i think most of the server regulars have added me already and i know Aya sent me a few pokes about a hacker >.>

Press the arrow by the steam group name and you can enable this (in the chat window).

I guess the most effective way to get attention to it would be to mention it ingame as an announcement but it's probably not needed since not many have started using it to begin with. I see some faces in there now though
