I am the administrator of the **PR Clan CoD4** community server.

**Server name:** `PR Clan CoD4`  
**Port:** `28960`  
**Type:** CoD4X community server using Bot Warfare

The server is currently receiving:

`Failure registering server on masterserver. Server address is banned`

I believe the ban may have been triggered because my Bot Warfare bots previously used custom names without the required `[BOT]` prefix.

This has now been corrected. All bots are clearly prefixed with `[BOT]` and report ping `0` in `getstatus`.

Example:

`[BOT] AkFull – ping 0`  
`[BOT] Pistolon – ping 0`  
`[BOT] Fulete – ping 0`

The server is otherwise operating normally, has a valid `sv_authtoken` configured, and is currently visible on the official Activision master list.

Could you please review the ban and re-enable this server on the CoD4X masterserver?

Thank you.
