Removing servers from splatterladder Options

[skooli]

Is it possible to remove servers from splatterladder?

There are some private servers which already stopped reporting to the masterservers yet they still keep getting listed here on splatterladder because you continue to scan all servers you found.
I'm with GamesTV.org and sometimes it's a pain in the ass that you can just enter a players name and get the server he's playing on - just look at yesterdays EC final if follow that.

Some of the matchservers stopped reporting (and are not listed on a masterserver-query for a couple of hours now) but as long as you keep them in your db and keep scanning them its not worth much.
Would be nice if they could be removed somehow, is there a mechanism for that?

They are not unresponsive, they still exist and continue to run. They just stopped reporting to the masterlist and should also not be listed on splatterladder anymore.

I don't get the point either.


stop listing servers which are not on the master server is a no-go, people should be able to add their favorite servers to the SL if they are not on the masterlist.

servers are meant to be public, otherwise it would be LAN servers.

Password protected server which are not on the masterlist are not meant to be "public"

If you're afraid of DDOS attacks, you should either get a good and secure server host or learn to secure your servers. It's not our job to worry about your security.

So theres absolutely now way of an opt-out in your system?
I appreciate your site but as I stated above those servers are absolutely not meant to be public, quite the opposite, so i'd really appreciate some kind of opt-out-system

If you want to stay private, play in a LAN or in a VPN network. Even though those servers are not listed on the master list, they are still public and reachable by everyone. There's absolutely no reason to hide a public server, no matter if it's protected by a password or not streaming to the in-game server browser.
