As being reported in the channel by some Tier 2 operators, sometimes a server is being marked for "Removal" even if it fail the tests for just a few hours. And if the operator doesn't notice to update in time, 1-2 days later (even if tests pass in the meantime) the server is being removed completely from the list. 

This makes it hard to keep up, since re-approving a server is a manual and very slow process. So I wrote a very simple script that takes an IPv4 as an argument and then parses the server list page. If the server has been marked for removal it raises an error, so the operator can manually check it out and update the server and remove the flag.

Here it is:

I hope Tier 2 operators find the script useful.
