I've never used bots, my server was banned when there was a new exploit around that filled the server with connections that never fully entered the server, flooding it and keeping it empty.

Please delete both posts. I see you're not willing to analyze the situation and include us again. So, please delete both posts.
Over a week without a response, following all the guidelines written in your two posts.


My internal notes on why ranking was disabled for your server was due to 'Abnormal population activity', and that you are a repeat offender. The fact that you keep deleting your servers and re-adding them after they get de-ranked isn't helping your case. Deleting the server from the database will wipe out the previous history, which prevents me from reevaluating the server immediately.

I'm not going to go in to detail at this time on what specific metrics are being used, as it would just let people know what to avoid. But there are patterns that give some indications of abnormal/fake client activity. Other reasons may be as simple as that there is a single additional user idling over the allowed limit of 3 clients.

We definitely do not want to be de-ranking legitimate servers. As I believe I mentioned in an earlier post, there isn't a simple way to be sure without actual administrative access to the server, and even then it may not be 100% clear. This isn't a simple process. Mistakes can be made, which is one reason why we do these reviews.

I'm not trusting user reports 100% either. Most of them don't provide any useful information that would help making a decision, and there is high chance of people making intentional false reports. And I've seen SO many cases of people submitting a re-rank request while their server is obviously still violating rules.

Again, don't submit posts here unless it is explicitly for a re-rank request. They're going to be deleted without any return replies, such as this, in the future.
Do NOT private message me about your server ranking. You will not receive a response. Instead, review THIS POST and submit a reply to the thread with the appropriate information.

This is not a discussion thread.
As made clear by Spyder's last post.

You're not giving me the chance to prove we're doing things right. You've just declassified me, and that's it, because our server has grown so much. I'm just asking for a chance, nothing more.

I repeat, why would I insist so much if it were fake? Fake people just create another IP with fake players and that's it, but I don't, because it's actually a real community...

One simple rule and you can't follow it.
Your posts are spam. I have lost track of how many I have had to delete.
You will achieve nothing by following this childish pattern of behaviour.

Dear GameTracker Staff,

I am requesting a review and re-ranking of my CS 1.6 server, which was recently deranked. I believe the deranking may have resulted from false or misinterpreted reports. I have reviewed the GameTracker ranking guidelines thoroughly and can confirm that:

No fake or idle clients are currently being reported on the server.

There is no use of redirects, boosting, or duplicate servers.

All spectator and moderator slots are limited and actively monitored.

No bots or artificial players are present at any time.

Our community is committed to fair and clean server operation, and we take all feedback seriously. If any issues were present previously, they have since been fully addressed and corrected.

Please review our server and consider restoring it to the ranked list. If any further changes or clarifications are needed, I would be happy to provide them.

Thank you for your time and support.

Ranking was disabled for having too many idle users. After reviewing the server again right now there are the three allowed bots, but one additional user that has been connected for over two hours idling in spectator. Please implement AFK kicking functions to prevent idle users of this manner.

This server has been detected to report fake or
idle clients and it is not eligible to be ranked.
HELP PLEASE!


Your server was de-ranked for having 6 idle users, which is 3 over the limit. It also appears you've used an exploit to reset the ranking status of the server. If you do this again the IP:Port will be banned.

Ranking will not be reinstated at this time, purely due to the exploit.

Dear admin, Thank you for accepting my request. I Menage 4 servers with 3 BOTs in spectator I have never allowed a bot to enter in my server. Well, all this has led to a suspension from the rankings because I have a plugin on the server that transfers AFK players to spectator. I believe that was the reason why it has been so long. That users. Thanks again. Now I am changing the server configuration for all players. Those who are more than 2 minutes AFK or SPectator on the server will be KICKED from the server l hope you can add back the Rank on my Seerver Best Regards

You Can See Picture how the Plugin Kick AFK from Now

Dear Game Tracker Team,

I recently purchased my server and saw that my IP address was banned from Game Tracker due to its old users.

We kindly request your help in lifting our ban.

Best regards,
