I specially hate it when you spawn in the middle of nowhere or in a small room or tower with some signs explaining the rules, but without anything explaining what you can do in the server, or where do you have to go, it's really annoying because you feel so lost.
And yeah, the common problems like the OP donators and the bad admins.
I'm fine with less than professional moderators and admins that do goofy things if it's a small server with say, fewer than 20 people on at a time. But if it's a HUGE server with hundreds of people on at a time, the moderators had better be doing they're job REALLY well.
I can't stand douchebag admins and mods who let friends/other mods/donors do whatever the hell they want up to and including flat-out griefing, all the while finding dumb-ass excuses to punish standard users just for kicks.
That automated chat-filling garbage! UGH! You know, stuff like:
!!<<DONATE NOW FOR 34274896239482694769834649836 DIAMONDS!>>!
Speaking of donating and diamonds: pay to win. It's fine if they get a few diamonds or something, but DON'T give them enchanted diamond gear or eleventy-billion golden apples or anything like that, especially if you can't get that stuff legit on that particular server.
Preventing non-donors from getting diamonds! It's pretty rare, but my god does it ME OFF!
Pay-To-WIn
Any servers with less than 10 people on at most times
Any servers with more than 150 people on at all times
Bad Staff
Horrible layout of server(spawn, plugins, world)
If it constantly goes down then it wouldn't be good.
Less than 3 staff is also bad.
No events will just tire the people playing.
A bad spawn will not get people to stay for long.
Abusive admins is the worst thing that can occur.
