3. Operator and Data Controller

For service, legal, and data-protection inquiries, contact us at support@cs2serverlist.com. Where required by applicable law, we will provide the information needed to identify the data controller to supervisory authorities or in response to valid legal requests.
Data controller
The Operator is the data controller for personal data processed through CS2ServerList and is responsible for:
- Determining how and why personal data is processed
- Protecting the rights of data subjects
- Maintaining appropriate technical and organizational security measures
Further details are in our Privacy Policy.
4. Account Registration and Authentication
CS2ServerList uses Steam for user authentication. By registering for an account, you agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information
- Allow us to collect your Steam ID, username, and avatar information
- Maintain the security of your account
5. Server Listing Eligibility
CS2ServerList is designed to support smaller, independent gaming communities. To ensure our platform serves this purpose, we have implemented the following guidelines:
Server Listing Guidelines
Our platform aims to give visibility to smaller community-run servers that might otherwise struggle to gain exposure. We encourage independent gaming communities to list their servers on our platform.
We continuously evaluate our server listing policies to ensure they align with our mission of supporting diverse gaming communities.
We reserve the right to update our listing eligibility guidelines as needed to maintain platform quality and fairness.
6. Server Ranking System
Our platform uses a sophisticated automated ranking system to evaluate and rank servers. Complete details about the ranking algorithm and its factors can be found on our About page.
Legal Terms Related to Ranking
By listing your server on CS2ServerList, you agree to:
- Allow us to collect and process detailed server statistics for ranking purposes
- Accept the ranking position assigned by our algorithm
- Not attempt to manipulate the ranking system through artificial means (such as bot usage or fake players)
- Maintain accurate server information and player count reporting
We reserve the right to:
- Modify our ranking algorithm at any time to improve its accuracy and fairness
- Penalize or remove servers that attempt to manipulate rankings
- Exclude certain time periods from ranking calculations during maintenance or technical issues
- Apply ranking adjustments based on verified reports of ranking manipulation
Visibility and Rankings:
Only servers that are set to be visible on the main page will be included in our ranking system. Servers that are hidden from the main page (but still visible on community pages) will not receive ranking scores and will not appear in ranked lists.
7. Server Registration Guidelines
CS2ServerList is built on a curated approach to server listings. When registering a server or creating a community on our platform, you represent that:
- You are the owner of the server or authorized to list it
- The server complies with all applicable laws and game publisher policies
- The information provided about the server is accurate and not misleading
- You will maintain the server in good working order and update information as needed
Server Registration Limits
To ensure fair visibility and prevent platform monopolization, we enforce the following server registration limits per user:
- Total Server Limit: Maximum of 50 servers per user
- Main Page Visibility:
- Standard Users: Up to 15 servers visible on main page
- Premium & VIP Users: Up to 20 servers visible on main page
Main Page vs. Community Page:
All servers (up to the 50 total limit) will be visible on their respective community pages. However, only a limited number (15 for standard users, 20 for premium/VIP) can be shown on the main page at any time.
Users can toggle which servers are visible on the main page through their server management dashboard. Only servers visible on the main page will be included in our ranking system.
Circumvention of Limits:
Any attempt to circumvent these limits (such as creating multiple accounts to list additional servers, distributing server ownership across related accounts, or other similar practices) is strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to:
- Remove any servers found to be part of such circumvention attempts
- Suspend or terminate accounts involved in limit circumvention
- Consolidate server ownership to a single account at our discretion
We believe our server limits are designed to provide fair access to all users while preventing platform monopolization. These limits ensure that smaller communities have equal opportunity for visibility alongside larger networks.
We strive to maintain high-quality listings that provide value to our users. Servers that become inactive or fail to meet our standards may be removed from the platform.
