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,
