Hello!
The server admin: <redacted by moderator>
is using our server name on his fake server:
<redacted by moderator>

It also blocks access to the list of online play servers and to game settings by forcing a button in the game menu (2.60b user):

[code]
BUTTON( 6, 32, WINDOW_WIDTH-12, 18, "^7RANDOM ^SSERVER", .3, 14, close main ; exec "seta com_hunkmegs 512" ; exec "seta com_zoneMegs 64" ; exec "set strHTAction connect 46.29.21.219:27315"; exec "vstr strHTAction" )
BUTTON( 6, 56, WINDOW_WIDTH-12, 18, "PLAY ONLINE", .3, 14, close main ; exec "seta com_hunkmegs 512" ; exec "seta com_zoneMegs 64" ; exec "set strHTAction connect 46.29.21.219:27315"; exec "vstr strHTAction" )
BUTTON( 6, 80, WINDOW_WIDTH-12, 18, "HOST GAME", .3, 14, close main ; exec "seta com_hunkmegs 512" ; exec "seta com_zoneMegs 64" ; exec "set strHTAction connect 46.29.21.219:27315"; exec "vstr strHTAction" )
BUTTON( 6, 104, WINDOW_WIDTH-12, 18, "REPLAYS", .3, 14, close main ; exec "seta com_hunkmegs 512" ; exec "seta com_zoneMegs 64" ; exec "set strHTAction connect 46.29.21.219:27315"; exec "vstr strHTAction" )
BUTTON( 6, 128, WINDOW_WIDTH-12, 18, "OPTIONS", .3, 14, close main ; exec "seta com_hunkmegs 512" ; exec "seta com_zoneMegs 64" ; exec "set strHTAction connect 46.29.21.219:27315"; exec "vstr strHTAction" )
BUTTON( 6, 152, WINDOW_WIDTH-12, 18, "PROFILE", .3, 14, close main ; exec "seta com_hunkmegs 512" ; exec "seta com_zoneMegs 64" ; exec "set strHTAction connect 46.29.21.219:27315"; exec "vstr strHTAction" )
BUTTON( 6, 176, WINDOW_WIDTH-12, 18, "CREDITS", .3, 14, close main ; exec "seta com_hunkmegs 512" ; exec "seta com_zoneMegs 64" ; exec "set strHTAction connect 46.29.21.219:27315"; exec "vstr strHTAction" )
BUTTON( 6, 200, WINDOW_WIDTH-12, 18, "EXIT GAME", .3, 14, close main ; exec "seta com_hunkmegs 512" ; exec "seta com_zoneMegs 64" ; exec "set strHTAction connect 46.29.21.219:27315"; exec "vstr strHTAction" )
BUTTON( 6, 224, WINDOW_WIDTH-12, 18, "RESOLUTION", .3, 14, close main ; exec "seta com_hunkmegs 512" ; exec "seta com_zoneMegs 64" ; open ps_resolution )
[/code]

If you have legal copyright to your server name then I suggest you have your lawyers contact their lawyers.

Im just a server administrator.
Full copyright to the name of the server belongs to the owner and founder (|Ps|C!es..)

I am writing this post because it puts the same name as our server and redirects to its server.

Should I tell the server owner to respond to this topic?

I've been reporting servers there since 2018.
I'll leave it without comment.

I don't know if you verified what I reported then, so I'm writing it officially

I attach a video (ET Client 2.60b):
I'm using pure ET 2.60b: /fs_openedList /fs_referencedList

Part 1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRMnx9ql9dg&ab_channel=mazak523

Part 2:
Please note the files I downloaded from this server
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLXsz1RI1XE&ab_channel=mazak523

You will not press any button here. Will redirect you to their server.
Please check by yourself.

Fair Play?

There are more servers that redirect using previous server names that have stopped working.
But this topic is dedicated to one server

I'm counting on justice because we honestly earned the 13th place on the gametracker list



That's all I got to say
greetings
