I don't quite get it, ButterflySoul... why would you count x+y but not z?
For the same reason as all the pre-0.24 DC++ counted H as being the hubs where you were an user but not the ones where you were an OP =) (actually, where you were a registered user, which is what the discussion that generated this new notation was all about). I don't remember anyone having a problem with OPs not being counted.
In my own hub, the people I choose as OPs are people who have clean shares, are involved in the hub's life, and are giving a lot of their time to answer questions, help newbies, re-explain 10 times a day why people with passive connection can't get any search results with a client in active mode, check potential fake-shares, and all in all, do an important work for the hub that I could never do myself, but that is critical to keeping the hub enjoyable and running fine.
On top of it, they do it as a benevol thing. I don't pay them for that.
I (foolishly maybe ?) assume that other hub owners do the same when picking their OPs, and that someone OPing in a hub isn't mainly in there to download like crazy, but rather to dedicate a decent part of their time helping the community. That's why I exclude z from the hub count in CoZ.
Could it be you're an op a few places?
Aside from my own hub, I have an OP account in a small friendly private hub, and in all hubs of the network I joined. However, because running your own hub and properly OPing in other hubs at the same time is very demanding, I seldom connect to more than 3 hubs : My own, the private one, and another hub which I particularly like and which is part of the network.
I would tend to agree with you if you meant that H:1/0/10 is abusive, since you can't properly OP in many hubs at the same time *nods*
I have however no personal interest in how hubs are counted in generalbot (or in the rest of the DC community), since the 3 hubs where I hang out is all I need to be happy =)
Furthermore, connecting to additional hubs (even hubs where I'm an OP and where the slot ratio would remain unchanged) means I'll have greater chances of seeing my bandwidth saturated by uploads 24/7 and consequently kill my own hub, since it's running on the same connection. No matter if you include z or not in the hub count, it is against my own interest to connect to many hubs, and it already was before DC++ 0.24
I hope it answers your question...
