I've recently become aware of a clone of my "Afrothunder's High Rubber" server existing at 99.250.96.173. This normally wouldn't be a problem (as far as I'm aware, everyone has the right to clone as they please) but the server has a duplicate name, confusing players who intend to visit my server. Furthermore, the server admin there seems to like impersonating myself within his duplicate server for the sole purpose of defamation.
Would it be possible to get the duplicate off of the master server list(s)?
(As a side note to the powers that be: I'm not sure whether or not this should be in the Server Admins Only section. I made it here so that any impacted players can note what they've seen but feel free to move this over to the other section if deemed necessary.)

Re: Afro HR Duplicate
Hello, corvettevlt here... I also recently discovered this phony server along with the impersonation of Afrothunder him self. I discovered it after scrolling through the server list to find the high rubber server which I regularly attend. To my surprise I discover that the server is different, and their is an impersonator. His authentication as seen in the picture I have attached is 112wicked112@forums. I looked it up trying to figure out who it was. His name is Charged, he goes by several other aliases, and ban evades as well, which I have shown in other attachments as well. To prove that he is who I say he is, here is a link: http://gridstats.com/g5s-mega-fortress- ... 2%40forums Charged also has a bad reputation in the community by using offensive language on regular occasion to bash other players and clan. Overall, Charged is a negative influence on the community and should be dealt with accordingly.

Re: Afro HR Duplicate
Sorry, I was on vacation while this happened. I had a log at the master logs and it appears the offending server has renamed within a few days. Consider this resolved? There is another server named AfroThunder (No !) popping up every now and then from a different IP, it seems to be home hosted.

I'm content with the situation as-is. My only concern was the duplicate name and that problem has taken care of itself.
