Help us make the server better!

Since we've sadly downgraded to one server, I feel we need to make this server the best we possibly can. Please post any suggestions to make the server better in this thread. After a good amount of ideas have been posted, I'll throw up a poll to see what everyone thinks about each one. The ideas that have a lot of votes after the poll has been created will more than likely be put into effect. Please only post serious suggestions and comments; all other posts that aren't relevant will be dumped.

This may be farfetch'd but possibly you could implement the hat system that they have on some server. Some odd reason people care about the way they are presented in video games. Giving bonuses to people who donate like they do on CS servers, or admin if someone donates enough cause a lot of people play on joe.to. Don't know if you already have that.

Another thing I see I don't know if it's possible in tf2 but in CS I see the beacon effect where admins target a player pretty funny. Also the time bomb is fun as well seeing as if people tk you can set a timebomb on them. Idk.

Allowing administrative privileges to be bought is a terrible, terrible idea.

Fun to few, annoying to many. Easily abused.

Bringing the hats system back could be nice. Alternatively, removing the "donators get access to hats" message so I don't get sad every time I see it and try to use it. Of course, I have no idea what horrible glitches brought it down.

Re: Abusing players, that's a horrible idea. We used to have the funcommands plugin enabled, but all it does is piss people off except in very rare cases. Not worth it.

I don't know much about these things.

I'd love to see the hats back, & fufu promises the cat hat to be ready soon.

As for single server suggestions, I'd just focus on keeping it running as smooth as possible. I havent had the lag spikes we used to, but theres atleast one every other game. No biggie.

Another suggestion to get donating up, name-able sentries. I have seen it before, where you can enter a name for your sentry guns as an engineer. Like, "Stabby's SLAUGHTERBOT killed Neelpos"

This.
I am all for suggestions that do not alter the gameplay. (Fucking timebombs, freezing, ETC)

I didn't know the hats system was removed. I'll look into fixing that as it's probably my biggest project on the server.

Make some kick ass custom maps...as opposed to making kick ass offical maps...that require plugins to run correctly and don't release the plugins to the public so if folks want to play those maps they have to join this server...well other than that I got nothing.

Advertising in general for Joe.to would be helpful. Some people who go to my school and play tf2 don't know about the server. Expanding the community is good right?
