GeoIP data out-of-date

The GeoIP data GameTracker is using seems to be out-of-date. Certain IP ranges, including one of our IP ranges (91.205.193.0/24), refer to wrong locations (Russia in this case, which should be the Netherlands....).

Maybe its time to update your GeoIP database?

Hello,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We update our GeoIP databases periodically.

In the meanwhile, you are free to claim any servers that belong to you and update their location.
I do not provide support over PM. Please ask your questions on the GameTracker forums.

When is the next update of the GeoIP database planned? I'm getting more and more questions about wrong locations @ GameTracker...

Looks like NJ in Traceroute and other GeoIP databases. If the location is incorrect, you can change the location flag on the same page you claimed the server on.

imsyler,

Here are a few options:

The server owners could be PMed and requested to change to a different location.
You can report servers abusing the feature at http://www.gametracker.com/forums/forum.php?site=1&thread=42470 However, keep in mind that you should not just report servers to report them. They need to actually qualify as abuse, which means the location is changing or they are using a location not somewhat near the actual location.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.
As instructed by you i have posted the same on your suggested link but instead of replying my post someone has deleted it. Please kindly look into this matter ASAP. I know its your policy that if more than 3 different ips of same servers are on wrong country flag than it comes into abuse (As they are intentionaly doing it). So kindly take action and banned or remove these IPs from gametracker.com
Your usual co-operation is required again.

Thanking you in anticipation. Take Care!
