I have been confused on this topic for a little while now.
I assist running a relatively new server with MLP content. We are trying to compete with bigger pony servers out there, and getting players to stay is a difficult task. Exclusive, decent maps assist in this process.
However, other servers can take the maps as well. In an effort to keep players on ours and advertise our server, I placed our server logo in some locations on the map (big walls, billboards).
A map-making friend recently told me that including any reference to the server of origin will instantly cause map ratings to plummet. I was never really planning on releasing them publicly (they're really not that good at all; I am still a relative beginner).
What would be the best idea in this situation?
