4 Games per IP Max (Unless a request is made, say someone has a server farm and hosts servers on tons and an exemption could be made) sounds like a good idea. Also the possibility *MAYBE* of people who post spam like in the screenshot by Hunter get limited to one game per IP so there not blocked, but they cant keep spamming.

If someone contacted me on MSN (which I'm always signed into) or any of the staff @ digiex.net the list could have been cleared up then and there when the problem arose (but this is the first I am hearing of it).

But banning IP's doesnt work, and also opens the big question of List Server control which brings mass moans from people and something we at Digiex never want to go down again, the list server is an open network.

I also dont like the idea of giving priority to servers based on this believe of "official'ness". Its an open network, and all (real) game servers deserve to be listed, with no priority given. Its not hard for someone who really cares about JDC or any other event, to search through the server list and find it. I mean, any popular game has 1,000 of servers and people search without a problem for the server they wish, so to hear about people struggling with 3 pages of 8 servers seems a little silly.

However, the List Server is open to the community, so if any conceses is made, most likely with FQuist/Overlord/Monolith/BlurredD approval, it would be considered.



Edit: Another good solution that BlurredD could add to jj2+ and its improved server list view, is to not show pinging servers that dont respond (or at least push them to the bottom). That would make the ingame client viewer work much better, and the same thing could be added to GIP scripts.
