Do not display more than one bot server in the master-server per ip

There really needs to be a limit on how many bot-only servers you can display on the master. IMO there should only be one bot server displayed per ip, if you want more contact a master server admin(?)
No more mass bot server spam from ISP WEBA, mm8bDM, nor Dwango DM. If people don't join your servers willingly, then don't advertise with bots like a cock mongler.
Do you agree? (Probably won't happen, just wanna see everyone's opinion on these bot only server spam.)

I made this thread like a week ago but it seriously needs to be brought to attention, I mean look at this:

I assume the canadian ISP WEBA servers were just made to poke fun at the actual ISP WEBA servers, but still.

Download the new version of IDE.
So basically this poll is asking if servers with no one in them are fine, but servers with one bot are bad? That sounds ridiculous to me.

People like to click on the "players" tab on whatever server browser they use you see. People do that to play on servers where other PEOPLE, are playing. Spamming a bunch of servers with 1 bot in it just to get you to join and play with its broken coding is completely retarded.

The Canadian ISP Weba servers are not the same as the others. The ones with no flag are out of Texas.
The Canadian ones though....let's just say that's something that I had to take some attention to as those aren't supposed to be there.

Isn't there an option that doesn't count bots as players in both doomseeker and ide? Just use that. (also the canadian servers are obviously for parody of ISP and how they host stuff nobody will ever play and throw bots all over it)
Edit: Both Doomseeker and IDE DO have an option to not count bots as players, so servers that only have bots will just be sorted as if they were empty servers.

Yeah that is just flat out annoying. What's worse is that even when I block the servers from the masterlist, they just restart the next day so I have to rinse and repeat. Really rustles my jimmies.

Bot servers are retarded. An option in Doomseeker and IDE to just flat out not display servers with bots sounds like an idea.

This.
I don't like the op's idea because it's an artificial workaround for a problem that some people may look at differently.

I'm not sure what it is you're trying to say. ;D
