The blacklist thread includes impersonators, offenders, abusers, and sometimes discussion.
Yesterday I checked the server list from home (using some wireless there), and I found myself banned in half of the servers!!!!!!
I worked hard to created the anticheats and autokicks mainly to avoid the usage of a blacklist... but I see 1.1 inherited the 1.0 blacklist!
Seriously... the blacklist itself is wrong, does not solve the issues, bring more discussion and struggle than solutions, it is awful to navigate through the old posts... and the ms moderation is a matter for the devs.
If you find an abusive server, send a PM to me or RK, or create a thread for this in cases like the PRO server.
I understand that you don't like the blacklist and I agree with the fact that it's rather pointless having one however in the past we've seen the hanze and victor situations which have caused somewhat of uproar, and now the PRO situation is being brought up again. Along with this, the blacklist isn't just used for cheaters. It's used for (as stated below) impersonators, abusers and so on.
I also understand that server owners can do as they please, but come on. It's your(the dev team's) masterserver. In my eyes that's basically saying abuse in AC is allowed. If the masterserver was one big nation, you're basically saying that some areas are allowed to go out and commit serious crimes or offense but others aren't. If you think about it, the masterserver IS one big nation. Shouldn't the same rules apply all over?
I know that "the blacklist thread includes impersonators, offenders, abusers, and sometimes discussion". However the offenses listed haven't really got anything to do with server blacklisting have they?
