Hi. I have some suggestions. As a server admin I often check the stats of a player. It’s quite annoying to go to Firefox while playing and check him up. You should make a good mobile version of the website. And a “leaderboard” of the servers classified by regions and game-mode who sums the skill of the players divide by their number ---

A leaderboard is also in the works. I’ll see about adding your suggestion. 🙂 ---

Thx for your answer. The country filter is realy important, it could be used to select a good server to play on it. Maybe create a dislike/like system on servers. ---

> [@ugdpy](#): > > Thx for your answer. > The country filter is realy important, it could be used to select a good server to play on it. > > Maybe create a dislike/like system on servers. Country filter would be an easy addition in addition to other server filters. In terms of a like/dislike system, a potential issue that I could foresee would be players of popular servers “liking” their server and disliking other servers to give theirs an advantage whereas smaller servers wouldn’t have the same opportunity. Perhaps with some thought and further discussion some sort of system would be possible. ---

I think the like/dislike would be abused, as you mentioned. I’m an admin on my clans server and we’re very much a niche server (Bolt rifles or melee weapons only, no explosives, no pistols, etc. etc.). We have a good community that loves this server, but we’re still very small compared to all the big conquest servers and clans. But we have players that come in and can’t seem to understand or don’t want to abide by our simple rules. Some throw a tantrum before leaving or getting the boot. It’s those players that would go and dislike our server because they don’t like the game style. ---

Trolls and/or other disgruntled players could totally ruin the ranking unless other checks were put in place but not sure what those would be or if it would be worth it. ---

Trolls and/or other disgruntled players could totally ruin the ranking unless other checks were put in place but not sure what those would be or if it would be worth it. One way to rate a server based on player feedback without it being open to negative manipulation is to show how many players have a server in their favorites list (assuming that data were available). If thousands of players have put a server in their favorites list, in other words if it has attracted a lot of regular players, then the server operators must be doing something right. How populated the server is would also seem to be something worth noting. A server which is full all day presumably is a good place to play _with certain exceptions_. For example, I can think of servers which allow out-of-region players with very high pings to play because all the server owners care about is populating the server. Lots of OOR bullet sponges is not my idea of a good server however. I suppose knowing how often live admins are monitoring a server would also be useful information to have, but I don’t know how anyone would go about getting that data. ---
