Server Rules (Page 1 of 2)

Thanks, finally we can read rules, and not to be surprised by finding own servers in masterbans list :C
How about rude/insulting names?

Then let's hope our motd will save us from Dune's ban-hammer^^

*DC* Mod servers got banned because of having 1 fake player, that is not even fake.
To Play DC you need a dummy, and that dummy is counted as a player.

Please test the game type and see how it works instead of banning it.

That doesn't work like this. The server would still have to send the player/character info to the ingame clients, but not to the clients that only request server info from the browser.

Please read shit before calling people incompetent:

Dummies aren't humans afaik, unless they are some kind of underpaid chinese workers.

Removed several flaming posts.

It seems some people here are misunderstanding (even though you're probably just not reading). I'm going to try to make this clear a third. HeroiAmarelo, you're openly insulting and provocating people who are just stating rules that you do not understand. Make sure your next posts are no longer rude or I'll consider you as warned and will not be as kind as now.

• A human player is an unique character linked to a client on a PC. It is not emulated by the server, it does NOT have to be constantly active, it's just a regular client connecting to the server, no matter what the player is doing.

• Dummies are NOT forbidden on a server. It is possible to make bots on a server and to NOT show them in the browser server list. Broadcasting dummies as players in the server list IS forbidden, because it leads players to think this server is not empty and they will find real players to play with.

If you have other questions or complaints, do not forget your manners. If you don't think you can reply in a mannered way, don't reply.

• The rules did not change.

• I'm not in charge of rules editing, or mod bans, m!nus is.

• You've been explained on IRC why this is wrong. The fact your mod is "new" is no excuse to fake non-empty servers, other modifications HAVE made sure their dummies were not broadcast (ZOMB, some DDRace mods, I don't know the names), there is no reason for you to be an exception.

• I did not decide to ban the servers, simply reported the issue to the responsible.

• The rules are nowhere close to stupid when you think about them 2s, you're just acting selfish

This was an information bulletin on the rules, not a poll on who thinks he would benefit from having one down. You can be sure your server will not be banned if you read the rules in the first post. At the contrary of what you seem to think, the people in charge of that are responsible and don't act as selfish as you tell.

Edit: for the reference, https://www.teeworlds.com/forum/viewtop … 744#p52744 (credits to Oy).

Even though you weren't rude this time, you just don't seem to read me. Every of your questions or complaints have been explicitly answered. I could selfquote for every of these but I'm really not motivated for that.

About the "several times same client", it's the server problem and it's not responsible for that issue (e.g. not a ban reason).

Concerning patching the player count:

(Source post)

Concerning ZOMB: The rule applies, only human player count in the server list.

Servers with >16 slots don't show up in vanilla Teeworlds.

Do huge amounts of empty servers hurt the performance of master server in any way? Because I personally can't imagine how that would be and if this is just aesthetic thing because a huge list of Moc and Inspire servers looks stupid then it's a largely a pointless rule since all you have to do is filter out empty servers.

The masters don't mind a lot of servers but for clients the serverlist will unnecessarily take longer to load (more servers to ping).

Added an advertising rule.

But would hosting a passworded server named "NEW IP: x.x.x.x" when you move your server to another machine/provider be okay? I ask because it's kind of advertising, but it helps people organize their favorite servers and would usually online only a few days.
