Server Falsely Claimed; Can't Contest

Hello!

The Garry's Mod server 54.39.9.203:27015 has been falsely claimed.

As you can see by the server name, it is not owned by "nutoverload."

I am the true server owner. I am planning to launch it within a week, and since an account must be a week old to claim a server, I have encountered an issue (I don't want to launch a server with some random guy as its GT manager).

I've reported the issue via the "Report" button, but no action has been taken yet.

Help?

Thanks!

It does rather beg the question; why would you name your server 'GameTrackerClaimServer' when you did not have a user account with which to claim it?

In any case, an administrator will deal with your report when it is seen. Administrators are not in full time attendance.

Be aware, the administrator will not assign you the server, you will have to wait 7 days to claim it yourself.

Hello Chimaera,

I did not name my server "GameTrackerClaimServer" at any point.

I never changed the name to anything server-related.

I do not know how this individual gained control.

It's impossible for someone to claim your server page without the string being added to the name.

Someone who has access to your server panel and/or has the RCON password is able to do it.

So, consider updating your RCON password or whatever is applicable in this case.

My server is un-RCON'd, so it's not accessible.

No one else has access to my web panel.

I don't know what to tell y'all. I've looked in my logs and the server name was never changed to "GameTrackerClaimServer."
