Game Hosting Bots Like In WC3?

Hi,
in wc3 i was part of a rather big community called ghostgraz. We hosted multiple lobbys of Dota games, with banlists and admins, through bots.

This, improved game quality by quite a bit because troller, griefer and flamer got usually banned. We had a report system with judges who reviewed cases aswell.

Currently i play a lot of Desert Strike and face/play with a lot of griefer and flamer aswell. Sure the game is not as competitive as dota was and it wouldnt really make sense to put up something that big as ghostgraz, but i was wondering if i could do something like that for my personal games.

Make a bot host my game with a banlist wich only allows players to join who are not on it, ensuring i dont have to bother with them again.

Is something like that possible or doesnt Blizz allow it for sc2?

The reason you had bots host games in WC3 was because you needed to open Ports on your Router / Firewall to host Games in WC3 so "few" were actually able to host games.

Don't think there is an audience for this in SC2

Wrong. Blizzard not giving a damn is the sole reason for Warcraft 3 dying. People have been telling Blizzard to add a "bot host" filter (that is enabled by default) since 2009 when people started flooding the custom games list with spam URLs and Dota.

This is a bad side-effect. Mods that does'nt have a lot of public should'nt be hosted, to limit the number of empty game hosted.

But im playing legionTD on those servers (ghoststats?) there is quite people and it's cool to have such service. Thanks you

It would be for private use only, so if i wanna play a game, i just start up the bot who is hosting me one and accessing the ban list, kicking every player out of the lobby on it.
