As for bots, if your server isn't on the main server list then that's fine. But they are, and thus the fake player counts are shown in clients. Thus we come back to the same issue - does the affected service (the list)'s owner (Kalcor) object? Yes. If another list were to allow bot servers then again there would be no problem.
None of these things you are asking about are illegal or immoral, they are all purely the personal preferences of the people running the services.

I mean, yea if a person strictly expresses that it's fine on their server sure...
But for whatever reason there's these terrible servers that just disregard whatever rules another server's got and the worst that server can do is BAN them even though the damage done is sometimes far greater.
Then again, this is true:

But... what you're saying here...

This may go a bit far and serious, but courts used to uphold something along the lines of "when the first murder occurred there may not have been a rule against it, that doesn't mean it's not wrong."
Isn't it wrong to go into someone's server who's worked tirelessly to get his or her server, forums, etc. up and running with upkeep and all just for this 1 kid joining with only 1 purpose, which is to lure the community you worked so hard to build away from you?
And talking protection wise... now a days (almost) every community/server has a discord right?
Dude joins, selects a bunch of people of the community,
purposely skipping staff, sending them the invite.
Can't tell me that they didn't know that what they were doing was wrong.
P.S. for anyone thinking I take it too serious... I'm just here to discuss and see opinions. That's the whole reason I made this thread.
