Is there a way to report other servers for spamming / advertisement of their own servers onto other servers?
Today I had two guys coming in and they were spamming the crap out of my server with their server IP etc. Would be nice if there was a system where we could report that server to the SAMP team and have their server suspended for a set amount of time, or something like that.

Try sending a email to team@sa-mp.com.

Doubt you would get what you want given the amount of time it would take to maintain the "suspended list"

You will just need to accept that all servers have "IP Spammers"

You can block IP addresses in the script and admins on your server can remove spammers.

Well that's true, but I believe a lot of "IP spammers" would think twice before they spammed the living shit out of a server, if their servers could be closed for a month. But then again, if someone didn't like a server, they could just go around spamming its IP around on other servers. Which again would be unfair towards the server owner. Hmm.. Tough one

Also, who says it's someone who's in control of the server?
I've had multiple occasions where a random player spammed my server IP on other servers. According to your logic, this would get my server suspended too/

Well they're just degrading their server, who would take the time to copy the ip? They would have to retype the IP and copy it... and who would want to go on a server that is run by spammers?

[CrazyBlob]

just make it under

OnPlayerText

if their ip is advertised it kicks them?

You can only report servers that violate sa-mp's terms of service, and spamming ips doesnt. In other words: running your server isnt the business of the sa-mp team, you have to keep it clean yourself.
