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?

I dont get the point atm :?

We can ignore servers but i am not sure if thats what you want. But mainthing is that the serverowner(s) will have to get into contact with us (and prove that its their server) before we take any action.

In short: quit listing servers that are not on the masterlist anymore.

Servers that are unresponsive for 4(?) days automatically get removed from the SL list.

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.

(PS: @TerrorTime: 5 days)

My point is that highskill-competition finals, such as the Eurocup/Nationscup, are notoriously prone to being invaded/interrupted by trolls. Every time it's another drama, I can't even remember having a big final with no interruptions.
As nice as your service is though, it makes it ridiculously easy to find the matchserver: Just enter the name of any of the players and there you go.
Having the server you can simply dos it a little or get on with one of the exploits that surface on an almost regular basis. Therefor I think there should be some possibility for serveradmins to disable the listing of their server, it could be something as easy as "sets noSplatterladder 1".

I think setting a custom cvar in the server.cfg is proof enough?

And what's the point in having it not monitored? Just set a strong password to get rid of the trolls.

strong password doesnt help against dos attacks or the exploits which surface occasinally

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.

Thank you.

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

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.

give the server ports that splatterladder not support :)
