Server on various server list sites shows as offline. Can't figure out why.

Question

I have this server which I run with a few people. Liking to have new or a decent player base around we try to keep the server notable on various voting sites and server list.

However it has this weird issue where on some of the voting sites it shows as offline. While on others it does not. Minecraft server list is one of those such sites. PlanetMinecraft on the other hand shows the server as online and has accurate information.

Does anyone have any idea as to why this could be or how to fix it? The server runs on the default port, and the IP is correct on all the sites. I've checked. In an attempt to maybe fix it I set enable-query=true and that did not fix it.

I did not set a query.port however figuring the default port should be fine.

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

It's hard to say what the issue is - but pings are not being accepted from some lists.. Maybe you have some strict proxy policies on the backend server?
