Saw a post on a discord on a guy saying that using edits to maps maps your server show lower on listings.... is this true?

"Dont edit maps

Ranks lower on server listing

Only do if i have alot of players

Read the code. It's obvious that the negative rating goes up if you don't already have that map installed, the reason he says it's a big deal is because every DarkRP player already has maps like rp_downtown_v4c_v2 installed from other servers whereas after uploading your map onto your server only you will have rp_bigtitty_roleplay_donate_for_admin installed.

Actually, this is not true, this was removed in November 2016.
