Hi,
Someone recently pointed out to me that it says "This server has been detected to report fake or idle clients and it is not eligible to be ranked." on the info page for my server. I suppose that happened because of the bot-clients which are added by the zombie survival mod "reign of the undead". However, I've seen other servers with bots on here, so im not entirely sure why my server has been removed from the ranking. ![]() Possibly because I renamed the bot-clients to "zom" instead of "bot" (that seemed more fitting)? If that is in fact the problem, I'm sorry, because I did not realize that the bots were recognized as such solely by nickname and hence the different name would distort competition. Could I get my server back into ranking if I revert the change? ![]() (sorry for any mistakes, I'm not a native speaker) Tremolo4 |

"Bot" in the name is one detection method used to detect bots. Rotu zombies otherwise report back as connecting players, so there are no other ways to detect these particular bots.
If you rename them, they will no longer count towards your rank and I can rerank the server so it can begin to regain rank. ![]() |

Okay, I renamed the bots back to "bot#".
Thanks for the support! |

Your server should start gaining rank in the next day or two.
