Full Version: The Planet gameserver client immiating popular WOLFGaming.net FH Server

Hi am one of the Administrators at WOLFGaming.net home of one the most popular FH Servers on earth. I was just informed that one of the gameserver clients here are imitating on of our servers with the name "WOLFGaming.net FH #2 - 70.86.33.228:14567" pretty bad move when you have to imitate others servers.

Can one of The Planet staff correct this problem as there is only one FH server at WOLFGaming.net "WOLFGaming.net FH #1 64.34.168.59:14567"

As I am sure many gameserver administrators hate it when others imitate their servers.

Email abuse@theplanet.com this public forum is not really the place to take care of something like this. I don't know all of the legality of this but they will be the best people to get in contact with.

I'll send another email I received a mailbox not found on my first attempt and didn't think it would need to go to theplanet sales and I know theplanet staff frequently visits the forums from time to time so they would see this eventually.

Hello TheHeartSmasher,

I just sent an e-mail and a link to this post to our Abuse team. I also let them know about their external address bouncing back. I did see earlier an alert e-mail stating we were having issues with SMTP right now, but that was only for outbound mail....do not think there were any reports of inbound issues.

Look for an update soon.

I don't think there is anything that says servers cannot be similarly named unless you have a copyright on WolfGaming. You probably do so I would file copyright violation.

That is pretty cheesey of someone to do that. Not sure if they are trying to steal off of your server's popularity or doing it to bad mouth you.

I think it is one of those two things, not a very ethical thing to do.

Looks like they did the honest thing and changed the server name icon_biggrin.gif
