We all have a wonderful list of people who we think are stupid. Nimrod is probably on a few lists. So are you. So is *picks someone at random* Dino. One man's opinion is not enough to "prove" something is wrong.

You mean replacing stuff like "Crashers are ghey!!!11one" with "Server Number 1"? Hooray for censorship. I only thought it existed here and in the United States.
|
Changes like "Crashers (are awesome)" still shows what the original intent was - "Server Number 1" removes the offense.

"If a server is listed, but cannot be joined, then remove it from the list after a reasonable amount of time (like a few minutes)."
Nebula's list server does that, thus rendering that task useless.
|
So, um, a list server shouldn't be able to do something another list server does? I guess it is rather rude of Nimrod's list server to list servers, isn't it?

"Keep the servers within legal bounds."
Do explain why I got a link to Jazz3D, then.

...you must be joking. Please be joking. How can anyone possibly prevent links from being given in servers? Do you honestly expect Nimrod to monitor every line of text in every server and block them before other people can see them?

"Obviously, the primary function of the JJ2 list server is to list the current JJ2 game servers so that they can be retrieved by JJ2 clients. ... For example, if someone was performing a DoS attack on the server, and the attack was such that others couldn't use the server, then it would be right to ban the attacker."
You mean the list server? I have not once seen the list servers go down, except for maintenance and connection cycling.
|
I think this refers to servers, which I believe DoS attacks can be performed upon. In any case, would you complain against a rule stating "Wakeman is not allowed to come to Nimrod's house and murder him with a blunt knife" simply because it has never happened?

The blank server name thing is fine. I thought that the dead server thing was sane as well. Hopefully this will be the last time.

The last time that... what? That you like a rule? Surely it is telling that you WANT the rules to be bad.

"Any attempts to damage or degrade the service can be considered abuse. Any user actions that require repeated administrator intervention can also be considered a form of abuse. If an administrator finds it necessary, they can block a user from the service such that it prevents their abuse."
Does that involve crashing servers? Because I see in no way that it disrupts your service. The only service it interferes with is your client's, who are providing the servers that the people will be playing on. You are in no way related to what goes on with the servers, just the lists. Which reminds me, if I do start a new list server network, then I'll just tell users to use PeerGuardian or whatever to prevent crashes on the services provided by them.
|
You are ignoring the word "degrade", which renders your argument pointless. Of course they are related to what goes on witb the servers - didn't you notice that stuff earlier about illegal activity?
Quote:
"The purpose of a global admin is to maintain the list server network as a whole. A global admin should be able to log into any of the list servers on the network and perform any global operation. Global operations may involve modifying the current list of game servers, modifying the current list of servers among the list server network, or changing any other setting that would affect the entire network."
I smell power abuse.
|
This is a groundless complaint. You are complaining that someone is able to control something they run. The CAPABILITY of power abuse is different from the ACTION.

"You'll notice there's nothing there about personal attack servers. Nothing besides server names should remain as unaltered as possible. The reason for this is because personal attacks have nothing to do with the functionality of the service."
See above comment about the renaming of servers. OMG U LIEZ!!!!11
|
It's, um, extremely poorly worded, but notice this part:
"Nothing besides server names should remain as unaltered as possible."
As the grammatical reading of that sentence makes no sense at all, it's my guess that "nothing" is supposed to be "everything", or some such, meaning that they change nothing but server names.

In conclusion, I have thus proven that you are both trying to enforce rules that do not apply to your list servers whatsoever.
|
You attribute the list of rules you are quoting to be "list server rules". Surely the list server rules apply to the list server?
Quote:

Let me get this into your heads in case you've denied it already: Crashes on servers do not affect the list service that you are providing. You do NOT own the servers that are on the lists.

Degrade, degrade, degrade. And I won't bother with your request for money.
