Hi,
since there are some very skillfull and competitive players on dd2 server, i would suggest that you shut down either the public server or the jailbreak server (since they are both kinda dead..) and get a Deathmatch HS only Server (Server for 20 players should be enough) or an Automix Server protected with a Password.
I played on a few AutoMix Server and it's quite fun and probably very popular (since competitve CS 1.6 is dead by CS:GO... (no gathers, no ESL)..
The bad thing that most of the AutoMix Server were for nonsteamers too and people like to turn the hack on if they are pissed or just too bad.
You could make a voteban to kick/ban the cheaters but it's shit because players who are a lot better probably get votebanned aswell. (probably by the cheaters!)
The Deathmatch HS Only Server is quite interesting for warmup or if you want to get better with different weapons (like scout or sth else).. I'd prefer the de_maps for the DM Server. People join this server faster if dust2/inferno is running on the server instead of any aim map (just a guess, not proofed yet.)
I am not really a fan of aim maps because if you get a shit spawn, you'll get shot easily. Also after the spawn the opponent notices you are there and sprays through the boxes/walls.
I would appreciate any response/feedback about this suggestion.
Cheers,
