What was the need of guests ? penalty ?

Maybe a lot of testing kids that are joining, hurry around, not understand, ... whatever ... and left after some time ...

Where is the difference to other gamer ?

• they stay short

IF guests had a negative effect onto the server, as of we think, automated login or automatic names

• admins had the change to use mod no_guest to get rid of them

When I compare that I am about 12 hours continues on a server, a guest with 5 or 10 minute is a small impact onto the amount of gamer in the server, ans so also a small and short impact onto the list and ranking.

AS List sorting depends on Quality: better say stability !how long server exist - reboots AND on gamer on (attractive !) it would make more sense beside

• stop penalizing guests
• focus more from guests to average gamer and lift up the maximum there ... max 4 as 1/2 is 8 gamer avg, hmm # 1/2 per average client, limited to 4 points += min(4, server["pop_v"] / 2) set the limit maybe to 8 show more exact a liked server with continuing steady amount of gamer witch also is a feedback in stable server, good mod composition and 16 gamer is so far now a nice point

guest gamer leave for sure some time later ... but gamer like a server stay, come back and enjoy ... so give here more limit, beside stop that penalty for guest might be the batter way for ranking us

and another point of this

EVERY gamer is using the same amount of cpu time, making lag ... so the admin has to accept a 'guest' and loosing one place of his slots BUT has to accept that his guest is NOT voted full point ?

admin/server is serving, and should then also get the full point (for there PCs work) as also that is a sign of quality ... be able to handle the amount of gamer

and admins deside not want to have them, even will and should use no_guests and block them anyway
