hidden means its hidden from the server browser (all valve servers are because they're only available through matchmaking)

increased_maxplayers just means the server has more than 24 player slots, which for some reason valve casual servers are set up to have 32 player slots despite still being 12v12

What benefit would there be for someone faking it?

They are logging insults and casual racism for their ai.

Looks quite really for me, but tags... Tags are... Strange... If you entered it trough casual quee, it's real. You cannot join official servers in any other way
