There isn't a fix to it, as it is an intended feature. About giving them a weapon or something else starting off they could instantly begin to attack you and then you die and lose points right off the start instead of not being able to play because you were kicked.

Quoted from the No No Suggestions list:
-Removing donor privileges

The servers take...well...an "extreme" amount of money to run, we require donations to continue running these servers. We choose to give donors a thank you for helping us with the servers. Donation privileges will not go away! Sorry

Prehaps it should be set up so someone who has played on that server for the most times in a row gets kicked instaed so those who haven't had a chance get to go on :) It is a little unfair if someones been trying to get on for ages and then gets instantaneously kicked just after getting in. It would be fairer if those who have played more that day got kicked as to give others a chance!

I really don't like the title for your post. Donors are not stupid, and I don't think it was your intention to say that in your post, so why have it as a title? (Sorry not trying to come off mean here, just saying)

Donors are given the kicking feature so that they get a reason to donate. A lot of donors pay just for that privilege. If you want, you can feel free to donate yourself. However, I agree with Sidera here. It should be the person that played the most games that gets kicked off, not the person that finally managed to get on a server (unless they are the person that played the most games).

This is the only reason I like it. I still think it should be removed though (when it's done).

Is it just me, or do you keep irritating me.
I don't know why, but you keep pushing your opinion.
Actually, I feel like it isn't YOUR opinion, you're (in my eyes) acting like some underdog.

(argument) First you suggested the same thing yourself, until a mod came by you changed your opinion. >.>

Maybe I have posted the same thing myself, but I read what others have to say about it and usually it changes my mind because they have good ideas about it. Sorry if I'm being annoying. I remember getting annoyed of donors, and making a post to say an idea, but I don't remember ever saying donors should lose their kicking privilege.

I just donated today only because they have the "Join a full server" feature. You see, I commonly play on a laptop where my internet connection is a bit slow. When I wait for a game to end, the server always restarts. Once they restart, due to my low internet connection, I cannot see when the server is back up until it is already full with someone taken my spot that I've waited an hour for. I see it as the only reason that I donated personally.

I'm considering donating maybe when I'm not supposed to be revising for exams but at the moment I do manage to get on every now and again, for instance I just won a game :D I guess it depends if I'm still super hyped about the whole thing by then or if the new potential map *hint hint* actual ends up becoming a reality!

Here's a tip: Donate. Then you won't get kicked.

Also, I like the idea of the person who was there the longest gets kicked instead. I don't think the person who just joined should get kicked, it gets to the point sometimes where I just quit trying. I tried the other day, got kicked of 4 times in a row right as a row was just about to start, so I just quit trying and played single player. All kicking people right after they join over and over again is going to do is stop them from playing. The best bet would be to choose the person who's been there the longest.

(And I know my tip would work for me too, I'll donate as soon as I get a way to. lol. Right now I lack a credit card or way to put money on paypal, but trust me, as soon as I can, I'm gonna donate at least $10.)

It's $10 per month (for iron). Just saying. But it's not the person who has been there longest, it's person who has played most games.
