On why this should even be an issue :
I agree that the server is the owner's and they can do as they like with it. Within the rules. And when it's very clear-cut and concrete, like having a one-map rotation, or gameplay affecting modifications, that's easy to act upon. But this problem is more vague.
The problem as I see it is that AC is rather skinny these days, at least when I get on there are only a few games, and one or maybe two are on a non-crap-map. And it really chaps my ass when the only good CTF is being played on a Perros server where:
- I will have to try a couple of times to figure out which one of my names isn't banned this time for no apparent reason
- It will be hard to communicate with my team because all sorts of completely innocent words are banned and by the time I rewrite it sufficiently, the flood control has kicked in
- There are lag spikes and the server is generally unremarkable and I have no idea why it keeps filling up
And I guess even these aren't huge issues, it's just that I don't know the magic procedure to contact Perros and so I and many others can't do anything to get these things fixed, so now we have a server(s) that often is hosting the only good game at any one moment, that is anywhere between annoying and impossible to use.
