# Requires admin email for public server or will not run
# contact_email: default

# Your server won't be visible on the public server list -
# If you are 100% sure that the server is working, can be accessed from the Internet
# and YOU WANT TO MAKE IT PUBLIC, please set up your email in the configuration file
# ("contact_email" value) and restart the server.
