It doesnt seem to me that people prefer human hosts. I certainly don't, and autohosts hosting popular mods are used constantly.
What exactly you have in mind?? What do they usually need to do and must use "longcommandhere" ? And why is that slower than trying to convince AFK host to do it for you?

Imo just ask betalord to add "hide empty" and "hide passworded" to lobby game list.

Yeah, if you ask Betalord you can get bot icon and increased traffic. But there is no universal automated way to detect that account is a bot.

Since I started hosting the nanoblobs autohost, I've been checking the chatlogs, and it seems a number of people have been trying the mod for the first time. This would not happen with peoplehosts (or at least, it'd be a lot of work for someone).
+1 to the "filter-passworded-games-option."

Can i still have my bot filter? Its not that i can't tell the difference between a bot hosted game or not, i'm just sick of looking at them.

it's harder then not scrolling at all...
why would everyone buy bigger monitors if scrolling was as convenient as not scrolling?

Hmmm.
Two observations.
1) You're taking this too personal.
2) You are missing my point. I
don't want to get rid of autohosts. I
just want to filter them from my screen. Is that too much to ask?

But you don't want to filter bot-hosted games, you want to filter empty games...

Filter them all for all i care. I DO want to filter bot hosted games. Cause i personally do not play them. The whole point is to offer options. not restrictions. oi
