Some interesting comments in this thread.. I actually felt the need to start my server up w-no pass.. lol I will actually endeavour to run the server open a little more often.. Regarding the topic, atm A-10C being a beta there is no available server admin software (Servman we love you :D). I find this is a major factor why there are so many locked servers. Running a "small" server myself which i usually run mainly for the squad but for public too i find there are many "unwanted" guests, usually not a problem if the hoster is present, kick it out, simple.. But running an open server usually means "Mr Hoster" is not around and then it becomes relevant to have some sort of server admin proggie so the players can boot undesirables. :)
