Can be fixed by checking for a custom user agent, suggested to be enforced in next version.

you can fake user-agent, it will not fix though

Or maybe have the master server ping back and if the game does not respond remove it from the list. This way it won't list people who forgot to forward their port too.

That would be much more effective

there was such fix for it in past: 0e2336f

and such: 33fcd87

I prepared a patch #29 (untested).
