    The title does not really match the description for this, sorry. But it has been noticed by me that, survival has been targeted for crashing, or crashing due to SPAM. Because of this happening so often and AlexM850/EthanM850 not being around enough to be able to keep survival up and running, survival has been, pretty much the scenario that follows:

    (Person gets on server)
    Person: Hi everyone!
    (Person is greeted by people he knows)
    (Greetings finish)
    (Server crashes)

    Could we PLEASE, and I mean PLEASE get a way to stop this or give more people control on restarting servers or starting them back up, because it is unfair for players who either donate their money because they love this server so much or to those who want to have a good time, because they expect to have fun on this server. And overtime, we have been losing people who go on, because they keep believing that the server is going to constantly be down. I have spent constant hours and days on this server, and it eventually goes to waste by not getting the chance to even PLAY it. When the server is actually ABLE to get up, it is unfair to us on the EST timezone because that is around 7-8, possibly even 9 o'clock, meaning we are eating dinner, and getting ready for work or school in the morning. For me, this has been happening ALOT. And when the server actually has the chance to be up a day or two without crashing, it then goes into MAINTENANCE, meaning I can't spend time on it then. I hope that this is fixed because I truly love this server, but I cannot show it if I cannot play it. Thanks for reading!

    Also, I would like to point out that you may not trust to give away a server console to random admins, but even then, could we have a hourly (or bi-hourly) server reset, this way everything stops on the server, it cleans itself, make sure the files are straight, then restarts automatically, also booting itself up from any DDOS's or spam. Just an idea, thanks!

    Just wanted to say as well, I know there is a reset for survival at 4 AM EST, but make these resets more common, that way we don't have any troubles.
