Hello,

I have reviewed the source code of the BadMap plugin and noticed several behaviors that I would like clarification on.

Based on the code, the plugin appears to:

Retrieve the server's public IP address via api.ipify.org

Collect the server owner's Steam ID

Retrieve the owner's Steam profile name from Steam

Obtain the owner's connection IP address

Send collected information to a Discord webhook

Continue updating that information every 30 minutes

The data being sent appears to include:

Server name

Public server IP

Server port

Online player count

Server uptime

Owner name

Owner Steam ID

Owner Steam username

Owner IP address

I could not find any documentation or description explaining this data collection and transmission behavior, so I would appreciate clarification on the following points:

What is the purpose of collecting and transmitting this information?

Who owns and manages the Discord webhook receiving the data?

How is the collected information stored and used?

Why is it necessary to collect and transmit the server owner's IP address?

Are server owners informed of this behavior and asked for consent before installation?

From my review, the plugin appears to transmit server and owner information to an external service. Before deciding whether this plugin can be used safely on a production server, I would appreciate a detailed explanation of these design choices.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Hello, what you mentioned is a measure to combat piracy; don't worry, all the information is stored in a private Discord channel that only I have access to. I plan to change the security settings for all my products, so what you mentioned will be removed soon. I hope you understand that I'm just trying to combat piracy. Thank you for your understanding.
