I might have an idea. Assuming we're only referring to Publicly Official listed servers here, with the Server Name as the only criteria in question. (Inappropriate server names, offensive ones, etc) We, the players can "flag" a server name that we feel is inappropriate and those servers are moved to a seperate "Flagged server" list for inspection. Maybe only for the Server List Mods (Devs) to make a judgement call on? Perhaps trusted individuals in the community as well to help assist too? Those that have that responsibility can chose either -- Pass or Reject. That decision and judgement call remains as long as that Public Server remains and keeps that same name, of course if/when the name is changed it has the possibility of coming under another judgement call if anyone flags it. Also, a public server could have 3 possible states -- (blank) (no decision made), Approved and Rejected. These statuses will remain as long as that server remains open and with the same name. Of course, Rejected server names will no longer be publicly listed. This way, it prevents people from "false flagging" someones server (to be a jerk) making more work to be done. While it's true that someone could do that ONCE to a server, they would most likely end up being approved by a Server Name Mod eliminating that happening again. Also, any Public Server that's currently flagged (for inspection) would remain in the Public List until a decision is reached so their server wouldn't be removed (from the list) until it's considered legitimately inappropriate/etc. Could have Public Servers listed on the left; Flagged Servers on the right so they're in 2 halves so they're both easily seen yet remaining seperate for easy viewing/scrolling/inspection. This would likely be most beneficial of course, once there are many players and servers going on with PZ, not so much when there's only a few but whats everyones thoughts on this? =) I do see the possibility that someone could go through and Flag every single server (to be a jerk) and that's really the only issue I see with this idea so far. For that problem, could expand on the idea to incorporate and handle that if necessary.

My thoughts on offensive and swearing filters -- I honestly believe they are counter productive and hinder the system in the end. What I believe would likely occur: 1) X, Y and Z swear word is filtered and not allowed.2) Players will use/create loopholes to get those words in.3) Filter list will grow larger making the server list and system slower, more lag, etc etc.4) Repeat this list ad infitum.Solutions? I'm not sure, could make it so server names can be voted by the playerbase and/or the Server List Mods? I don't think you guys (the devs) really want to have to sit and regulate/babysit that all the time either though but I do feel a case by case basis works best here. As far as the players themselves go, the individual server hosts/mods can handle those situations with their commands to Kick or Ban them, if they're jerks. =)
