Try to find a Listchecker or VCK game in the games list, if you can.

Well, it just disconnects most 3rd party programs after 2 minutes. That's until they all implement a Warden handler. Wuffle, the Clan TDA bot master, already has a version of Listchecker that has the warden handler added. Not sure if it's been released to the public yet.

I've already made a thread about this. It's a rather diddly threat. Upon them posting that nothing has changed, Warden was already there and had been long bypassed. To be honest Warden is push over of an anti-3rd party system. Most notably the fact that I'm STILL running a host bot. -_-

Check the battle.net forums, they're full of people who got banned for banlist and lc.

Wow, battle.net forums for WC3 are fucking creepy. It had occured to me I'd never been there, but the anti-AoS ('custom maps') hurts my brain.

No one's getting banned for LC. They're probably getting temporarily IP-banned for attempting to connect too often.

LC, VCK, and plenty of other hosting programs are still being used daily in TDA.
