Servers with artificial online - Vlasov - 23.09.2017

Hi, sorry for the mistakes. I'm not an English speaking user.

I think that the rise in tabs "Hosted" will not give much result. Will still be servers with artificial online. If they Donat from players, they will be able to pay the tab "Hosted".

Of course, if the price was more then the load will be less - it is very good! And servers will be more visited.

Here servers with artificial online at the moment:
It's not all servers, more of them. On some servers, artificial online around the clock. Some people try to do more of these players than artificial in order less to attract attention.

If you look closely, you can see that many of the IP addresses start at 176. It's hosting "Ru-Hoster", they sell the tab "Hosted" exclusively to its customers. And they are not interested in artificial online on the server or not. They are important money.

On the website game-mp.com it is written that the server with artificial online of prohibited and it is subject to deletion. So why not do it? - http://www.sa-mp.com/service_agreement.txt

Why not create a section where one can complain about servers with artificial online. To them then deleted.

The price increase will only reduce the number of servers in the tab "Hosted". And servers with artificial online will remain. Not all, but they will! Dear Kalcor, please take some more measures for the extermination of such servers.

Because they may change IP/hosting and move on, but the next customer of gaming hosting with that IP will have it blacklisted in "Hosted" tab, for example. Would you want to be legit customer without fake players, to purchase a server and get a blacklisted IP?
It would be nice to change the way SAMP handles fake players, to make it not possible to be done technically, if it's possible.

It would be nice to change the way SAMP handles fake players, to make it not possible to be done technically, if it's possibleА if not entered in the blacklist. Just remove the server from the list of tab "Hosted". The owner of the server then again you can buy the tab "Hosted", but if you will be seen the artificial online, then again to remove the server. Then it is not profitable to use artificial online. To cheat yourself 1000 fake players.

Technically of course to make the defense even better, because even if you delete the servers, the owners can do is to have these 100 players and 30 artificial. Notice is very difficult. But while it's not technically solved, it is possible to take at least some action. The price increase is too great, in my opinion.

Some scripts require to be removed from the game mod defense of the connection from 1 IP adress. Technically, it is possible to decide to limit the connection is not more than 5 players from 1 IP address. But this does not solve the whole problem.

I support the idea of one-time removing the server with fake players. They'd be forced to buy "Hosted" again and again. But it requires moderation checks done from time to time, and I'm not sure developers have time for that.

Players SA-MP themselves can help developers to identify the servers with artificial online. If you do a special section on the forum, the players can put the video evidence. And the developers will only check the video and make a conclusion.

Well, it is to solve them, we just want to be real online!
