Banned Filter.

Filters out the servers you're banned from. Nice and simple.

EDIT: And a ping cap filter, too.

Nice idea. Might help when you get randomly kicked from a server for pulling out a knife.

Ping cap is not necessary. But the ban filter might have its uses... Though I wonder who would get banned from enough servers to use it.

This would involve asking every server if you are banned, which is a waste of servers bandwidth.

And if you can't remember what servers you are banned from because there are so many of them, you probably don't deserve to be playing in the first place.

Yeah, implementing this would be too much work actually. As far as I'm concerned there's no way for the lobby server to know if a given player is banned from a server, so this would imply implementing some protocol for that. And asking each server would be slower than pinging all servers I guess.

exactly, the lobby would have to keep track of who is banned from what servers.  Since Soldat doesn't have a login system, there really is no good way to do this

edit: and yeah, ping cap is useless since you can just sort the list by ping
