Review these links. https://www.gametracker.com/forums/forum.php?site=1&thread=108517 https://www.gametracker.com/forums/forum.php?site=1&thread=133930 There are no "allowed" boosting sites or services. ANY use of boosting services is strictly prohibited. It has been this way for some time. The fact that you've straight up admitted to utilizing boosting services is the reason your server will remain de-ranked for the time being. And yes, other top servers will be reviewed in depth as well, and appropriate actions will be taken. |

I did find some loose association with a boosting site/service in the recent past for your server, but this no longer seems to be the case. However, I did check your server somewhat recently and there were still active clients with invalid SteamIDs, likely from using a third party binary for the server, which was a main point of contention with a past event. However, we don't have any strict restrictions on that at the moment, so there currently isn't enough sufficient evidence at the moment to actually justify a de-rank. Ranking re-enabled at the moment, but will monitor moving forward. |

claneminence wrote: 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. |

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. |

If you do this again the IP:Port will be banned. Ranking will not be reinstated at this time, purely due to the exploit. |
