Uhm... I'm surprised the server browser still doesn't have these features (that several games had 10 years ago).
Are there any plans to add them in the future?
Sorting through the 15 active servers is pretty tough ehh?
The thing is... the way the browser updates servers makes me go insane.
Some servers are shown once, then 2 seconds later they disappear.
Sometimes I double click one to join it, but it disappears before I finish clicking... and I end up joining another server ...
A similar phenomenon happens when I double click a server; the first click makes it refresh its data (ping, pl. count), and if it doesn't satisfy the criteria anymore, I join another server that took its place.
So, having a smaller amount of servers to choose from would reduce the frequency of such events.
I think your problems may disappear if you show Full servers.
Yes, that is a partial solution though.
That also happens when a server exceeds the ping filter (110 currently, any higher than that and I get all sorts of Russian servers popping up :O )
Then increase your ping limit as well and check the ping before you connect. Filters are only going to carry you so far in a browser. Use your eyes to pick up the slack.

Increasing my ping limit, as I already said, makes me see a lot of russian servers that I have no interest in (and can't blacklist em, eh).
My biggest grudge is the browser removing a result if, after updating it on a click, it doesn't satisfy the filters anymore.
I don't recall seeing this feature in any game I've played in my life, honestly.
Just sort by # of players, after the browser finishes updating.
This way most empty Rus servers disappear from your screen.
And don't forget that very often a server is inbetween 2 rounds, when a slot becomes vacant.
It might show full again, the moment you doubleclick it, but just stay in line for the next free slot, because more players may leave...this can take a few minutes (players saying goodbye, or don't like the mapvote result, etc).
