Cameron I would not sweat it. The people attacking you probably just are not able to cut it as admins. They seem quite jealous.
All you who say these ADS are being abused how the hell do you do that? It shows the same as a normal MOTD. The only way to abuse it is to rotate the map. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cameron Munroe" <[email protected]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 10, 2012 8:13:06 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Server Delisting, does it need some changes? Maybe I redirected my spat at the wrong person Russell, but as you can tell, I am slowly getting attacked because I use an ad to keep my servers up. The reason I made my servers was because of lotus which I have repeated way too many times already, but I did it is because the donator system at lotus gave donators a semi-admin powers which is why I also went more and more to ads instead of donators. Pretty much any donator if they wanted a friend in the server immediately started a vote to kick a player. They also muted people simply because the person was young. So when asked "can I buy admin" for my servers I have repeatedly stated "No" because I know it will lead to abuse, which I don't want.
