Add a "Recently Banned Servers" page

[Aizendazai]

Hello @xinn,

I hope you're doing well.

I wanted to share a small suggestion that I think could really help with transparency on OTServList.

Right now we can see how many servers are banned on the statistics page, but not which ones or why. When a server suddenly disappears, players are left wondering if it was spoofing, rule breaking, refused verification, or something else.

Maybe it would be nice to add a simple “Recently Banned Servers” section. It could start by showing the last 10 to 20 banned servers, with an option to expand or view the full history so players can easily see and search which servers were banned and for what reasons.

I think this would fit well within the Statistics page, since it already shows overall numbers and would keep everything in one place.

It could include:

* Server name (IP / domain)
* Date of ban (exact date)
* Short reason (e.g. “spoofing numbers”, “rule violation”, “refused verification”)
* Ban duration (30 days, 1 year, or permanent)

Nothing too fancy is needed, even basic info like this would already make a big difference.

Some benefits I see:

• Players would finally know what happened instead of guessing
• It would discourage cheating a bit more since bans would be visible
• It would build more trust in the list overall

There might be some extra noise from server owners appealing publicly, but I think the added clarity would outweigh that.

Just an idea, but I genuinely believe it would make OTServList feel fairer and more professional.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into the site!

Looks like a way to keep advertising a banned server, imo.

I get your point, but I think it depends on how it’s implemented. If it’s just a small section under the statistics page, most casual players probably wouldn’t even notice it. It would mainly be useful for people who are actively checking what’s going on with the list.

And if there’s still concern about it feeling like advertising, it could even be limited to logged-in users only, so it stays purely informational.
