80% gamer of max setting is nonsens - as admins don't know #47

`# Penalize highly loaded servers to improve player distribution.

Note: This doesn't just make more than 80% of max players stop

        # increasing your points, it can actually reduce your points
        # if you have guests.
        cap = int(server["clients_max"] * 0.80)
        if server["clients"] > cap:
            points -= server["clients"] - cap

` this is a bit miss-leading, as MOST server admins do NOT know this ... and the server owner might check out the real maximum, but then is getting a penalty already at 80% of his still GOOD capacity ! without lag

cut it out ... (--)

for example my server could hold tested 64 gamer, but I have to set 80 to avoid this, but 80 is too much, so the server build in join stop then is wrong ... NO, this penalty here is wrong.
