Okay - that's it - if a feature is constanly abused, I switch it off.
This is the last PM I'll ever get:
Blah, blah -- I didn't read past the 1st paragraph.
This is not something to PM me about and has been explained thoroughly before;
just always reopening this discussion is not going to change our opinion.
People seem to think "open source" means "free as in speech", it just means "free as in beer" - the difference is, you can't wish it to be wine, not unless you have magic powers - which would mean you fork your own project off AssaultCub. Provided you follow the zlib license you can do that.
We don't want first-timers to come into the game and see 23 servers running some map that makes our game look stupid. That was what had happened before we lay down this rule.
It's just like you can now all thank MorganKell for not being able to send me PMs anymore, just gotten too many .. and too many useless ones at that to put up with it anymore - it's the same reason why we didn't have this rule from the start - at that time the community was much smaller and more serious, you just didn't get any of those people that are now mad at us for dissallowing how they would like to see our game be played.

Hey, I just want to share a thought with you. Not everyone wants to play Uber-Professional, and for "Points, Points, Points". Many just want to connect and have some fun, frag a few with their buddies and "Ooo" and "Ahhh" at some of the weird maps out there.
Why don't you allow people to have that variety? One third of the server list could be official maps, at the top. One third could be GEMA maps, at the bottom of the list, and finally a third could be unofficial maps, like Wintertown, the old Hanze maps, and even EzJem, or LSS_Brazil, in the middle. You'd be showcasing all of the possibilities AC offers.
Those who want the official maps will still find them up top, displayed prominently for all to see. Those who want the surreal stuff would find them in the middle, and those who want to shoot around on GEMAs would be content to skim down to the bottom of the list.
I originally meant to post on the forums, but I've decided not to post there, in any meaningful way, until the Thank You button returns. xD. Just wanted to share an idea with you. Let me know what you think if you can.
Gibiliciously Yours,
MorganKell
