Project1999 players have widely taken this approach to the red server "and still I see no changes".
I don't think using the red server serves as appropriate evidence - red server was never a traffic driver to these forums or to the project in general.

If blue's average nightly population is ~1200 as someone above me claims, then suddenly drops to ~600 over the next few months and a bulk of those exiting players cite heavy-handed abuse from staff as the reason, it would be reasonable to expect Admins to change up their staff or policies.

But then again, nothing on P99 reflects any semblance of reason, so...

It hits 1200 with bots and boxers.

I’d say single box is in the high 900s

Got any proof to back up that claim?

When you are at server select remember that number.

Then go in game and do /who all count (actual count of players)

Then goto EC and ping everyone standing still 1/3rd are bots

Another 1/3 is boxing

And the last is actually selling.

It’s rather obvious.

Maybe 1% of the boxers actually play the toons while they do it. Ballsy but doable.

It's not rather obvious because AFK != bot or boxing.

I'm not disagreeing, just pointing out you haven't actually provided any proof other than "I think it's like that"

F that, so what if the peak drops to 600. So what if it drops to 300. This is a free server you are not paying shit to keep this going. Play it or leave it, the popularity of the server is none of your concern.

your stupid reasoning to expect change in rules cuz population drops, play on live and pay the fee, or stfu and follow the rules if you want to be cheap to play on free severs.
