With the new system of voting and banners PMC has made it so the main page you see when you click on servers is all the huge 250+ slot servers. I know you can still see updated servers when you click for those but most everyone will only see the front page and wont take the time to look around. All that is happening now is people are only seeing these huge servers first and are usually to lazy to look around. Small servers don't have much of a chance. I have a small server myself and when i used to get like 50-100 views when i update my server because it goes to the front of the main list now only gets like less than 10. That is the reason i liked PMC a lot to start with because it helps get more players on servers who are working for players and updating to bring their server to the top even for a little bit. The score and voting system is a really bad system i think. If a person likes a server they should only diamond it once and not be able to come back day to day and vote for it again and again. There is now even a votifier plugin to help get votes by getting money in game. Servers simply get votes by bribing players with a lot of in game money.
Possible Suggestions:
- go straight to the recently updated servers by default when looking for servers
- set up a preference system for players to choose which list they like to see when they click on a link
- have another choice for small and large servers
- do away with vote system every 24 hours, the diamond system I think works really well already
This may not seem like it has much effect but It does. most all people looking for a server are lazy and will only click the first thing they see and the nice small servers get left in the dust.
Any thoughts or ideas about this?
Please DIAMOND this if you think this is a problem and affects you. the more popular it gets the more attention it will bring to the Admins and Mods for Planet Minecraft. Click the diamond on the top left of this page
great server by the way if your interested

EDIT:
Looks like they set the default back to the recently updated servers when you go to the server page! thanks for all the support and helping to make an impact. However i still think having a voting system in addition to diamonds for a server is really not that great.
