Nobody can see how many hours you've played on hive unless they actually look at the hive page, find your name etc. so i highly doubt you're being kicked because you have 0 hours playing.
Also you need to REGISTER on the hive, for the hive to record your stats.
You can do so here

The real issue here is that many official server have custom maps loaded which means the don't report to the hive anymore as only server with no mods or mods like ns2stats report to hive.

An issue I'm having with Hive is that my badge order never updates. In-game it's the order that I obtained the badges as opposed to the order I saved on the website. (Randomize also doesn't work.)

FIxed. If it will ever happen to anyone - contact me.

This is not true. You do not need to register. You just need to play on whitelisted servers.

Badges order in-game is fixed, so you can't really change it. You can just select the 3.

Can we dramatically increase the number of whitelisted servers somehow?
I'm whitelisting new servers each Monday Every server that is not using gameplay-changing mods and is sending the data is getting whitelisted after 50 matches.

@Acedude:
Yeah i know allowing all servers is not the best idea, but back then i suggested to use the gamemode to determ if a server should be allowed to send to hive instead the mod number.
And i was not talking about allowing all reports to count to Hive Data as it was in the beginning, i'm fine with the whitelist
With the webend whitelist this should work out ways better than how it is done atm.
I even provided a code to determ the gamemode correctly based on the game_setup.xml:
local Gamemode
--[[
Gets the name of the currently running gamemode.
]]
function GetGamemode()
if Gamemode then return Gamemode end
local GameSetup = io.open( "game_setup.xml", "r" )
if not GameSetup then
Gamemode = "ns2"
return "ns2"
end
local Data = GameSetup:read( "*all" )
GameSetup:close()
local Match = Data:match( "<name>(.+)</name>" )
Gamemode = Match or "ns2"
return Gamemode
end
Ofc this requires that in future new modder use the game_setup.xml correctly for gameplay changing mods
This will require me to manually verify servers anyway.
Yeah but it would take all those modded servers into account which currently are ignored.
But as at least all of the top 20 server are moded this is kinda a current issue of the hive system (just think about custom maps etc.)
If you don't want to spent the time on verifying server yourself you could found a community commitee of trusted people to take over the verifying for you
I think those two changes would improve hive alot and would save yourself some time.

Many of those have strangly maps like NSL_Summit at them and therefor don't report any stats to hive .....

Allow all servers to report to hive lol, otherwise get more server admins to run [shine] ns2stats beside shine.
Hello! There was a super weird bug. I fixed it few minutes ago, thanks for info!

There is a report button at hive another reason i would like to have a community commitee because seriously did even one server got reported yet ?
