Can people cull their idle shitty useless autohosts please?
I count 27 open bots with 0 players in at the moment with 240 entries in the player list, and then there are another good handful with just a single player or spec sitting in them. They're fucking shit.

If they function, there is no problem with their presence. I am, however, considering banning dummy/unmaintained bots. Now, please stop trolling each other and making poor comparisons.

Trolling everybody is only slightly less offensive than trolling somebody specific.

any given fps has probably 90% empty servers

Making an FPS analogy is irrelevant due to the fact players don't host their own FPS servers,
relying on dedicated servers.
I find the number of auto hosts laughable personally, but I figure filter players greater than zero is a better way to deal with it than raging on the forums

Why are bots being open morally evil? The tiniest minor annoyance doesn't ethically compare to someone being physically harmed for their possessions.

I saw a bag being stolen the other day. That bag was mine. I chased the thief into Oakland and took my bag back.

A topic needs closing when swift, neddie, and gota are all trolling at the same time.

Ooops, I meant to close the thread on the basis of my awesome reclamation of property, but evidently failed to click the box.
