Main problem.

[Shortcut]

Lately, a few people have been griefing lots of players on servers, Psp and Cca. They think they have the right to totally screw over a server, even if the host does not know any better. I have traced the two roots to these problems, admins that are not so bright or honest, and non port forwarding servers. Ever since everyone had the feature to host, players have been scattered across servers except for around 5 popular servers.
Since the not so bright hosts do not know how to port forward, they still get to host because of the UPnP feature. If this feature gets removed,  players will be with more people, and the not so bright hosts wont suffer. But there is still a problem. Psp and Cca. It would be just better off to remove these players altogether since they have tried many attempts for attention. All of them have, unfortunately, succeeded. Please discuss this like civilized people and not savages.

I don't see an issue with Cca and I don't know Psp.

But you are right about the non-port forwarding system.

I wish it were disabled because it makes so many crappy servers.

I don't see an issue with Cca

Seriously..?

Seriously..?

I know he likes to troll a bit but trust me there's far worse people than him.

So just because there are worse that means he's not an issue?

That's like saying rape isn't an issue because murderers are around.

You have a good point there my good man. Also it is bad that laughed? :C

[Chrono]

As long as you aren't trying to demoralize someone with your laughter.

I think the non-port forward system should remain. Just because these idiots roam around does not mean the less intelligent players should suffer. They don't deserve to pay for the stupidity of others.

I think Cca and PSP should just have their keys revoked for being a problem in the first place. Some hosts are not to bright, but these players choose to willingly exploit this lack of caution for their own amusement.

tl;dr It's not okay to "screw over a server" even if the admins aren't "bright or honest".

All the family RP's

traffic on my server before no-port hosting:

about 8 players at the peak of the day (or more)

nowadays if I try to host, theres about 2-3 people that join AT ALL unless I ask some people to join.

i haven't seen Cca's work and i don't even know who the hell the other guy is, so i don't know what I could say.

If your server is interesting or special getting players shouldn't be a problem.

Precisely. All the people who usually join and make up the bulk of servers are hosting and dont usually host good servers, its usually "jonnys deathrun" or "PICACHU6500's famly rp"

IE NOT A FAMILY RP OR A DEATHRUN
