Fake servers Options

[limewire1988]

Hi

I hope this post in placed in the right place, but if not feel free to moved to the right area.
Now to my topic, it concerns of fake servers. Ofcourse we cant do nothing about fake servers, they are on the master list. But what about where these fake servers are directing the players too. Im sure they are directing players to a 'real' server with 'real' players.

Not everyone can have these fake servers, but dont you think they are taking advantage to boost their player counts and isnt this unfair? What about normal servers and even new servers trying to get some players on their server but they cant because larger servers are taking advantage like this. Not only that, the SL awards that gives to servers the Best place awards, some are given to servers that deserve it, but if its given to a server that has a fake server and gets that award is unfair. Not only that, the places which is able to get fake servers, real players who want to get a higher rating play there and may sometimes be awarded with other awards on SL and even bring their ratings higher
What i think that servers that do have fake servers should have their ratings taken off or something similar

Even im a server owner, i have 3 servers to look after, you might think im jealous, well sure you can think that if you want. Even im sure other server owner can think the way im thinking . What happened to having a fair competition amongst servers and getting players by hosting different mods, having different settings etc. Isnt SL against cheaters?


As you can see in the picture below, the ones that are fake servers are around the red square.



These servers above are being redirected to:

I dont mind even server owners of the above can say something i know they will

Hello,

well thanks for your report but redirecting servers to another one isnt cheating imo. ET is slowly dying and the only reason its not dying faster are good communities and servers that use the available knowledge to keep the servers busy with players. Even though i agree that this way of filling a server isnt "fair" against smaller servers or admins that wheter dont have the knowledge or the ressources to do the same, i dont see any reason why this servers should be disabled.
