![]() Or if your website lost all it's search rankings because a few of your users had numbers after their names and google didn't like that. Can you imagine if 10% of all your emails were spam filtered incorrectly. Especially one that would take hours of work to resolve because it requires changing literally EVERYTHING your main character has done because you were in the unlucky 10% that got hit on a false positive. While low quality users can be useless all the way to downright annoying it's much more frustrating to find your server unfairly deranked to suit the discrimination based on a name pattern. I understand it is not the only criteria but it is the highest weighted statistic. Player count is not the only criteria, things like server uptime, ping or age are considered too. Server uptime is a better indicator of "server quality". I've marked 5 players (out of 56) that looks like false-positives to me. Here are the players which are considered "guests" from the top 15 servers. Yes, it was first thing I did while refining the regex. Have you never looked at a large username list? This will hit on so many PC users that it would be obvious that it is a terrible idea. EVERY account is the SAME.ĮDIT: If the majority of core devs disagrees with removing this penalty at least consider lowering the penalty for users with these prefixes. This kind of account is nowhere to be found in Minetest. what I understand under a guest account is something that will get created when the user joins and DELETES ITSELF as soon as the user leaves again. I don't think Minetest ever had "guest accounts".Server owners are not happy about the fact that their server rank in the list is largely dependend on the amount of "guests". This is not something the server owner can control or decide Because of this server list algorithm the servers JUMP many places at once cause they sometimes get more players with such prefix names and other times less of them.I don't think it is FAIR to count those people as "guests". the app gives them the name by default and sometimes they even have to pay to enter a custom name. Back in the day when clients used "Guest" as name it made sense, but now with the new app prefixes that are TOTALLY random, you determine many users as "guests" when they are actual players that simply use such an app that gives them the prefix.There are many kinds of servers, but one type that some people may not know how to setup are game servers.The code that differs between "real" users and "guests" is obsolete now. Linux is suitable to be a game server, but how would one be setup? Setting up Linux game servers is easy. However, each game must be setup differently, but there is a general way of doing so.įirst, select a suitable computer. ![]() Then, select a distro that works for your system ( ). For easy game setup, a Debian system is better because many PPAs and ready made *.deb files are available. Also, Debian-based distros are easier for most people to setup (debatable, I know). ![]() In general, I recommend Xubuntu or Lubuntu because they are lightweight distros based on Ubuntu. However, if you are an experienced Linux user that wants optimal performance, use a Slackware-based system such as Slackware itself. Slackware is a powerful and lightweight system, more so than most Debian-based systems. What ever you decide to use, it must have a GUI. I say this because most game servers cannot be setup via command-line.Įvery game is different, but they follow a pattern. I will discuss a few different game servers. ![]() That should then give a general idea on how others would be setup. Minetest is an open-source game based on Minecraft. Minetest can be installed via "sudo apt-add install minetest". Open Minetest and click the "Advanced" tab. Click "Create World" and select a name for your world. Also, select "Minetest" to be the game type. This server is meant for a small group of people. This game does not support large public games like Minetest can support.
