<h2>🗃️ Hosting & Server Type Rules</h2>

<h4>🌐 Hosting rules</h4>
<ul>
<p>Hosting publicly accessible servers requires them to be registered with Teeworlds' and DDNet master servers.
Game servers that register with these master servers are subject to <a href="https://www.teeworlds.com/?page=docs&wiki=rules/server_rules">the server hosting rules of Teeworlds</a> as well as the additional DDNet rules:</p>

This reads wrong. The "DDNet rules" below are currently copied from the link, those are not additional rules except the last one.

<li>A modified Teeworlds server must not use a standard gametype (dm, tdm, ctf, lms, lts)</li>
<li>0.6.x and previous: The player count shown must resemble the amount of human players. The maximum player count must be the maximum number of human players.</li>
<li>0.7.x and later: You can also include non-human players using a special bot flag. This allows client-side filtering.</li>
<li>Do not host an excessive amount of servers. There is no fixed limit but try to not overdo it. (i.e. there should be people playing on them eventually)</li>
<li>Do not host servers purely for advertising purposes (e.g. passworded & having only an advertisement as name; having sponsoring info or the likes in the server name is perfectly fine).</li>

I know what you mean, gotta get more feedback. if more ppl are for changing that, we can do that. It does not change the meaning, just improves wording/readability, might be fine.

<li>Do not advertise cheats (in i.e. message of the day, server messages, server name, through NPCs, etc.)</li>
</ul>
Servers violating this ruleset will be banned.

Maybe this page should also include sentences similar to the last two sentences from the link:

You can check out the list of masterserver bans at https://teeworlds.com/master-bans.cfg if you have any doubt.

If you wish to be notified about problems with your server(s) you may provide a contact email address in your MOTD.
