Its useless other than stroking your own ego? I mean, professional? Define Professional and see if it applies anywhere in simulation gaming.

I find it insulting. In many ways. I've competed in many comps on many mods and many drift games for a number of years, I feel I don't need to prove myself to anyone, and I don't feel there is any need in any way, shape, or form for an "elite only" server.

However, its someones personal server and they can pick and choose who they like to be on their server.
