Rules and removal
Every listing must follow the Terms of Service. This page sums up the parts that matter for server owners, and explains what happens when a server is removed or closes.
Listing rules
- Only list servers you own or are allowed to manage.
- The address, name, banner, description, game modes and links must be accurate.
- No content that breaks the law, Minecraft's usage guidelines or the Minecraft EULA.
- No hateful, sexual, violent or misleading content, malware or phishing.
- Don't use someone else's name, brand or artwork without permission.
Voting rules
Don't manipulate votes: no bots, scripts, VPN or proxy farms, paid votes, or rewards that make players vote from many accounts. A normal in-game reward for voting is allowed. When we find manipulation, we may remove votes, reset a server's ranking, remove its awards or remove the listing. See How voting works.
Hidden or rejected servers
We may review, edit, hide or remove a listing that breaks the terms, and refuse new ones. Under My servers such a server shows Rejected with the reason, or Hidden. A rejected server goes back for review when you fix it and save it again.
Delete your listing
- Open My servers.
- At the bottom of the server's card, press Delete and confirm.
The listing is removed with its votes, statistics, reviews, updates, events, jobs and uploaded images. This can't be undone. If a server you own was listed by someone else and you want it gone, contact support.
The server graveyard
When a server that was listed for a while and had real votes or players closes, its story is kept in the server graveyard: its name, how long it was online, its peak players, its loyal voters and where they went. A server goes there when its owner deletes it, or when it stays offline for 30 days. If an offline server comes back online, it leaves the graveyard by itself.
