Well if that's your opinion, what's your opinion on this thread then?
I mean shouldn't it the same way around be a server's own choice to put a server full of bots?

Kalcor already spoke out about fake players being put in servers, isn't that about as bad as going by SAMP servers trying to get their players to join your server, instead of doing your own hard work of building a community by advertising on the forums here, and a few other forums where they allow actual ads to be posted?

BTW I wanted my main post to be as unbiased as possible, to see the opinions, and they're quite mixed, I'm surprised. I'm on a server now that instead of just banning them reaches out to the servers that got advertised, making sure they understand our stance on it. Very often those servers/communities are also against server advertising, and if such member is a staff member they often get fired in light of the optics. You can hardly be a server preaching that "server advertising is forbidden" and then allow your own staff members to do it elsewhere.

However it really is a pain when you see that it was the server owner...
I mean come on most people know this isn't the norm, right?
