The why are you running a server? No point in running a server if you don't like. That's just stupid, no offence.

...and so you want to cheat just to be popular... making it your only goal? Or have fun WITH the off-chance of getting your server popular. I can see you wanting a successful server.. but there's a point where you go too far...

You don't need to cheat in the first place. You already have your post at 32 diamonds, 700+ views, your server's trailer sitting at currently 2,000 views, and an average of 30 players in the 'late hours.' You have more views than iv'e ever had in my lifetime.

Well you've just demonstrated that you dont run your server for fun.

Only do something if you enjoy it. Not just to become popular.

1: the pop up thing on the homepage is selected by what gets the most views
2: pmc does not (as far as i know) pick what goes on that reel
3: a friend of mine got his server on the reel by using a viewbot, the forum mods are too busy locking threads and deleting thread posts to notice acts like this so i imagine that's how alot of them get on there
4: most of the servers on the reel seem really crappy probably cuz of reason 3

1: Wrong. Views are a very small portion of the algorithm.
2: PMC picks the reel contenders, yes, via an automated algorithm.
3: Report him then. We will look into it. Forum mods don't handle submissions, they handle the forums - of course they are "locking threads and deleting posts". Derp.
4: Not necessarily. The quality of reel servers has increased much since we modified the algorithm, but you have to consider that reel spots are divided between up to 15 participants at once - and all 15 of them are picked to be the same level. Exactly what you consider "crappy" is personal opinion; people have to start somewhere.

Anybody who is caught using a viewbot will have their servers blacklisted on PMC and you'd also be helping us develop our anti-bot systems. It is only to our benefit, not yours, to use a viewbot.
