New donor perk for Teamspeak!

Hey there!
I have noticed that when I'm just trying to play some MCSG with some friends while on Teamspeak, people keep joining our Teamspeak Channel. Everything is alright until we have 10 people in a lobby and everyone is yelling. Then we move channels and most of them follow. It can be stressful and has actually caused drama, as I saw last weekend. I propose that Donators have a "New Channel" ability on Teamspeak. The channel would remove itself after the donor(host) leaves. This would resolve the issue because the donor has to move the people he wants, into his channel and no one else can join. This would also be very useful for people recording, as the Mods do this already.

I have seen this done on other Teamspeak servers and it's another reason for people to Donate. Leave comments/feedback below, thanks!

Use Skype?
Not everyone has skype, just like not everyone has ts. And some people prefer ts, or they want to use it for group conversations.
If it's been done in other places, it's obviously possible so I'm completely up for the idea. I don't use TS because I don't have it, but I'm sure it will be useful for the people that do :)

I prefer Skype because it has much better quality then TS (besides the fact that I get terrible connection to it and people think it's my microphone)

But, this would be a nice besides the fact that there would be at least 30 individually made channels made by donors, and it'll just clog up the list.

Like mentioned in the original post, channels would remove themselves after wards. Also teamspeak hardly ever has 30 donors online at once and those 30 donors wouldn't each make their own room. Why would someone make a room just for them self? there's an afk channel ;p

Also I don't prefer skype because of dropped calls, terrible background noise, and it's terrible for big group calls.

I don't think you've been on TS at peak times then. :p

When are peak times? I was online last weekend most of the day and same with last week. I saw a lot of people with a few lobbies of 8 people, but that's under 30.

I think that this is actually a really cool idea, and one that doesn't have many downsides. Donors would get an extra perk that wouldn't interfere with anyone else. There would have to be a decision of whether they can put passwords on their channels, manage talk power, etc., but if that was decided I have no issues with this suggestion.

What is the Teamspeak IP anyways? ts.mcsg.in doesn't work for me
If you're on a mobile device trying to use ts then that ip will not work.

Anyway, this idea is a good one; however, I'll just throw in my idea of how it would work best. Donors can create a single temp channel and apply a password if they so choose. They can then give the password to people they want in their channel. This solves the issues of people joining without your permission and doesn't allow donors privileges that they shouldn't have on teamspeak such as the ability to move people.
