Dedicated server listing spamming

[[SOA]@-=SoulAsylum=-@]

www.emoto.com spins up hundreds of DS's that are different ONLY that the port for each is different by one digit. They also show up at the top of every server refresh in the USA as the lowest ping. They are in EU/Russia so this is BS. They are all running the same map, crossfire, never anything different. Connections to these server as bogus. Can't be trusted. There is no way more than 600 game servers from on IP provider can be doing this legally. Steam NEEDS to take action again this immediately. Believe me this IS nefarious, I've been in this community for over 2 decades. I wouldn't bring this into the community just for the hell of it. TIA

I concur, they are running some kind of weird proxy setup and artificially pushing proxy addresses in the server list to make it look like way more servers than it really is. They also appear to be running fake players of some sort. Looks like maybe bots - but, that (presumably intentionally) do not get reported as bots.
