I was setting up a new server and it worked fine(on the server list and everything) but i wanted it at the top of the list and people on it so i added boxes and named it [][][][][][][][][][]STT Trem(not sst trem) then i leave it on for an hour come back and want to connect to it but its not there. Now i am confused because it was there 1 hour earlier and it was on the server list. So i try to connect to it manually it works. I was wondering if it was on the list so i go to a different computer in a different city and try it out. Unfortunately it is isn't on the list i thought that maybe i pissed off paradox because i here he is friends with the owner of sst. So fealing stupid for not taking my friend's advice who warned me about naming it sst trem or anything related to I post here here hoping i wont be banned.

I have no power over the masterlist, and last time someone was banning people from the masterlist, they were quickly removed of that power.

good i might have turned off my computer or the power went out or something

uhhh oooookkk

Lol, who was R1CH anyway? Seen him in a couple of other games. Must have been before i started playing.. :p
-
He worked a bit on Quake2, and on Gloom. Made R1Q2. (R1CH Quake2)
Also made the other administration mod for Tremulous.
-
And he had the power to remove servers from the master list?
-
Not really remove.
Just prevented them from pinging his server, which hosted the master server.
-
That's not good.
-
I think he modded the master server code to do more validation and bin invalid servers.

People like para have a vested interest in bugged servers being on the list, so there was a big protest when he did it without warning.
Had we known then what we know now, we wouldn't have complained.
-
To have a good server, it does not have to be high on the list, it has to have logical, good, and understanding admins and good gameplay settings :)
-
Sadly 99% of the plebs don't get that, and go for the top of the list.
-
If knowing then what we know now would have meant that we wouldn't of removed it, then shouldn't we put it back considering what we do know?
I guess when box-name servers out-number the no-box servers, including the empty ones, we'll take another look at it, eh?

What was the worst of all was:
He didnt tell anyone till AFTER he did it
It wasn't automatic, he banned people, and one would have to wait 18-24 hours for the ban to be removed, even if they removed the boxes.

nope, it didn't ban anyone. it just didn't list any servers with non-alphanumeric characters at the start of the name. changing sv_hostname and sending a heartbeat was enough to get back on the list. (there were no boxes back then by the way)

What are the other two catastrophic sudden drops in players and servers at around -0.1 days on Lava's graph? Master server downtime?

timbo's hard drive with that data dying.
