[bf1942] [bf2] EA/Gamespy blacklisting weapon unlocked/no time limit servers??

[AIX Gaming]

As far as I can tell, a complete wipe of the box and reinstall, changing
the server name, changing the ip address, changing the ports.. all had no
effect. My server won't list anymore.  WTF?  Is this going to hold true
for the final retail release as well?  All of these dedicated server hosts
are banned for life?
