GSP allowed to host ranked knife and pistol servers

[John Sampson]

I know this is the unranked mailing list but I do not have the info for the
ranked one. If someone can post it there it would be great. Seems EA is
allowing knife and pistol ranked servers now since myinternetservices.com is
now hosting at least 3 of them for bf2142 and they remain online after many
reports against them. A lot of k/p server have been shut down in the past
that were reported to the former bfroe which is owned by myis. From what I
hear myis never sent in reports to EA about their own knife and pistol
servers to make more money.

66.199.252.92:16567:29900 (KMA) Pistal Knife Only
72.9.107.181:16567:29900 (KMA) Knife Only
72.232.120.187:16567:29900 SNIPER RIFLE KNIFE AND DEFIB ONLY!!! DRAMA FREE
ZONE

All have the myis provider id of 10029, the first one even has sponsor text
(Server Hosted by LcT and -eXo-, provided by MyInernetServices.). myis have
been notified many times and refuse to remove them. One of their staff
stated when asked about them:

"Tim is paying EA the big bucks, and therefore they are his friends, not Tim
being theirs, and cos of their attitude, he will allow the servers no matter
what"

"without those clients, EA wouldn't be getting those big bucks"

So basicly give EA a cut and they ignore your illegal servers while others
get shut down. Even totalroe.com displays 3 of those servers in a list of
myis hosted servers.

sorry for the rant but a lot of gsp's want bf2142 ranked provider status
while myis continues to break the rules time and time again.
