Server's fake location.

Hello,

I have posted my times and reported my servers as a fake server location. But eventually Burn banned my account just because I had posted here. The problem is pretty much straight forward. There are lots of CS 1.6 servers on Indian location which are using fake country flag. I have reported them all but no action is taken!!

https://www.gametracker.com/search/cs/IN/

The first server is from Romania and it's clearly seen that this server is not from India. I have reported this server many times still it's on the Indian location. I have posted here many times regarding this issue but Burn always locks the conversation. There are lots of foreign CS 1.6 server on Indian location you can see. Why the fuck they didn't get removed. I'm very frustrated with this. You can see there are 60 % servers are Non-Indian then why u guys dont remove on abuse report.

Sorry for the abusing but feeling very upset since foreign servers getting our players. Kindly do not consider this post as a spam let us discuss on this post if I'm wrong And I don't want Burn to reply this post because every time he comes with the lame reason, locks and considers it as a spam.

Thanks and Regard,
Get_RighT

You were told that you are wrong in that;
It is simply not gametracker policy to manage server locations.
The server location flag is not a valid abuse report at this time.

I believe you were also told it verges on the physically impossible to manage/investigate locations.
There are currently more than 126500 servers registered on gametracker.

In any case, a url in the name / dns does not prove a physical location, and given the lack of complete accuracy in GeoIP databases, they are not proof either.

How many times and ways do you need to be told the same thing before you understand?

It means anybody can change the server's location and get foreign players. You don't think this is wrong ? I'm not saying that to check every server's location. At least check the servers where are reported. I can't force GT to do this just saying because original Indian server's rank goes down due to this.

Anyway at least you gave the better answer and didn't lock the thread.

Thanks

We do tend to ban people who spam abuse reports - I'm sorry for any inconvenience you may have caused yourself. If you report a server more than twice, we do consider that abusive though it takes a lot more for us to consider something like a ban. All reports are reviewed within 24 hours.

If you have an idea for a brand new policy on the site - please post in here http://www.gametracker.com/forums/forum.php?site=1&category=164145

If you're not civil (such as in this topic), we will remove it.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

First of all I have never spammed abuse reports I just report once and I also waited for 5 days. I'm not saying to ban those server who abuses the location feature. Just change their location to the original location and also don't allow them to change the location in future. I know it's very tough to do this but think about it!! Servers having the original location had low rank and less players and servers having fake locations getting that location's players. This is unfair that's why I have posted this.

I can say after seeing the game servers, 15 % game servers are using fake location just because they want players.

And what's the possible solution for us? It's unbearable when foreign servers takes place in our region. What should we do ? Overlook ?

I totally agree raneraje, most of the high ranked servers of Counter-Strike (IN EVERY COUNTRY) are fake romanian servers with fake players (bots), fake steamid, and programmed to look like a real player.

If you have ever played Counter-Strike at least one time in your life you may easily recognise that the high ranked servers of Counter-Strike have mostly fake players on it.

Too bad GameTracker don't do anything to change this. This problem has started like 5 years ago and nothing has changed.

Soo unfair, same thing happens with Argentinian servers.
Servers having the original location and truly players on it, had low ranking and less players due to all those fake servers with bots and files that corrupt your game to make you only join on them.
