Surely it would make sense to allow me to reply instead of closing threads off so quickly?

"1.1 Game Server - A game server shall be defined as a network server running a program that acts as a hub for clients to connect to for the purpose of interaction. For the purposes of clarification, PBBans will only allow streaming from dedicated servers and not from LAN or personal computers."
What I have are game servers that act as hubs for clients to connect to for the purposes of interaction. My servers ARE dedicated servers. They are owned by me, but not 'personal computers' in the sense that is implied.
The topology I have is identical to the topology the average data centre would have (I speak from personal knowledge because I work in one as a Systems Engineer). I do have support servers connected to a network with my DEDICATED game servers. I have multiple redundant WAN connections (much like a DC would have) and so forth. I feel that I should not be discriminated against because one of those WAN connections is used to test my servers by me!
As for 'get the server(s) co-located in a data center or rent a game server from a GSP.' I qualify as a GSP and what I run is effectively a datacentre as the racks I have are filled with both my own and clients servers. I do not run 'a couple of home servers', I run a business from racks of my personal server equipment, the same as other GSPs.
I feel that your rules do not apply in this case because I feel you have created an incorrect notion of what I am actually doing. If you need proof that the servers I host are legit then look at the facts - one of my servers is the top CoD4 server in NZ; has been for months, and I have 3 CoD4 servers in the Top 10.
If you still wish to decline my application, that is your prerogative, however, as a matter of BAU you should give people their right of reply before closing off threads and remove the need for them to create additional threads.
Thanks,
