As for preventing server advertisement, he is using 'publicly' released files, if we did that to every 'dodgy' server owner, there would be almost none left.
There are acceptable levels of "dodgy"
The cash grab ones are somewhat acceptable, as you can't avoid them...unless you comb over every advertisement and have some sort of "minimum" standard from every server owner, these will always exist. It's up to us to not play them lol. This is completely unrealistic to police all the time, but i think could be somewhat more controlled than it is.
LOMCN at one point (I don't know if this is even a thing anymore?) use to out right block advertisements if they were running server files without the owners permission. This would be back in the 1.4/1.9 days. Obviously all the files were the same, so really it was the databases/items/maps etc being used that wern't allowed to be used without permission. AlphaFrozen for instance was protected for quite some time, same with other popular servers and even the names were protected lol.
I agree that since Jamie publicly released the files, he has no right over them anymore. But this clown doesn't deserve to run any server, let alone on ones created by a server owner he could very easily have caused the shutdown of....I wonder if that would have painted a different picture for you all? Zircon shutdown, and this Insanity came up after the release, would you all be so willing to allow him to advertise? He doesn't even have the decency to change anything that relates to Zircon, even the activation e-mail still comes through as Zircon...The server files are also still hosted in a folder called "Zircon Server Files" lol! Could not have a more on the nose insult if he tried.
You would have to be blind to not see how daft it is to allow that scrub to advertise here, and how the situation is unique to him only. There will be no "example" being set, and no rules being made just because of the contribution and no falling over to Jamies every whim...It's just this 1 server, pure and simple.
Jamie and Zed never saw eye to eye really, and yet I don't see any complaint about that one, do you? Might be because even though they argued, they had different views....Zed at least never pulled that kind of disrespectful stunt...
Anyway, i'm sure everyones right...in a few months his server will die, Jamie might return, and he might return to develop some more stuff...but I doubt he would release it again, only time will tell.
