Actually, there IS a plugin that will balance the teams by the average HLstatsX score.
seems quite applicable here.

HLStatsX will do it on its own. I have it disabled. I think it only kicks in when the number of players is uneven anyways.

Personally, I don't care about stacking and I never care which team I'm on.
However, since I hear this complaint virtually every day, I would like to point out something about Goldrush. These players do not always intentionally stack an entire team. True, there are some players that "stack" because they want to play with their friends/the familiar faces they see every day.
However, when the stackage becomes especially one-sided on Goldrush, it's usually because the regulars stay for an entire cycle of the map (3hrs). Other people pop in and out during the course of the rotation but few for as long as the "regulars" who play all day.
By the end of the cycle, you have most of the people who have been on the longest with massive points ahead of everyone else, and usually all on one team.
So it's typical on a 24-hour server to see one side over-balanced against the other team. This doesn't just apply to SourceOP but to any 24-hour map that doesn't have forced team shuffles.
This doesn't happen so much on servers with multiple map rotations because each time the map changes, the teams reset.

I play on goldrush, and have played on the stacked team. 9/10 of them coordinate which team to stack when the map refreshes.

This doesn't happen all day. Trust me, I know. It might happen for short periods of time throughout the day, as it would on any server where regulars play together.

i dont recall that ever really happening on valve maps#1
granted, some clans always prefer blue or red just to stick together, but no conspiracy type situations

It's not a conspiracy.
We're not out to get you.
Just stand still while my knife slides between your ribs and caresses your heart ever so gently.

Only thing bad really is that the server crashes 3-4 times an hour on average.
