rate and tsp

[kingping]

cheers and thank you for the detailed reply it was very helpful

i was most curious about how rate builds for a new player without a transfer
but i can infer that information now that i know how rate gets calculated

i have more questions tho... is rating on a new map enabled by default?
if so can you link to the maps blacklist [or if not then the whitelist]?
can you give the formula for determining if bots void a sessions rating?
how can i tell if a server has been blacklisted for allowing cheats?
