Is there anything that can be done when lamers copy your successful server name and steal your clan tags to make it look like the server is one of yours?

Copy Cat Server

This guy just renamed his server to pick up our good name

Our High Ranking Servers

I run some top ranking MOH servers and some lame guy has just named his server the same as ours to try and get traffic.

I doubt much can be done but shows how desperate people get.

Thanks

You'd have to contact their server provider to have them change the name, something I'd only expect them to do something in extreme situations such as a copyright violation. Otherwise, every server provider that I can think of gives admins the right to administrate their server as they choose.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Thanks for the reply.

I understand that, is there nothing GameTracker can do since they are using this site to promote in a way?

I submitted a report about it.

Thanks.
