Not so long ago, I have found that I was permabanned at all the aCKa and [ESP] "public" servers. I was totally sure that I have never used any kind of cheating and never performed any kind of abusive behavior, so I was unsure of the reason. My mistake was to take it personally. Later then, I saw some complains from several other players who were permabanned at these servers too, so I've decided to do some investigation.
Using IP addresses from Netherlands and Sweden and various nicknames, I have found that aCKa and [ESP] servers probably ban IP ranges of significant parts of the world, thus they can not be called "public" anymore. There's no need to keep them in the worldwide public servers list. If they want to be visited by only trusted members, please let them act as usual private servers and do not flood the master servers list with useless grey lines.
