Olsen I like that you put so much thought into your posts but you seem to be mistaken. Not every server owner who has a problem with abusive server operators has dead servers and is just jealous wanting all that traffic. We run several servers with one in the top 70 and the rest are getting there. We have -very- popular servers.
Please don't be under the impression that everyone complaining about Quickplay / Fake Clients can't run their own populated servers. I'm not sure why you think the rest of us can't run popular servers because we're complaining about policy violations. Some people don't like seeing the system abused. If that results in more traffic for them, fine. But it's not like banning one or two abusive communities would have helped their efforts if they weren't dedicated owners in the first place. You have to work at it to get a community and players unless you cheat. Seeing that a few abusive operators are taken care of won't change that.
