Server restarts too often

Me and my friends can never get on a server anymore because of the restarts. I know the restarts are now going to be permanent but when the ghosting issue is fixed could it be done so it only restarts every 3-5 games? That should still help out with RAM or whatever the reason for keeping the restarts is. And it would be easier for me and my friends (4 of us) to get on a server.

The restarts are for fixing ghosting issues. Ghosts are basically players but they aren't. The games see the ghost as a player and adds him to the tribute count. The problem is, you can't kill ghosts. Restarting the servers gets rid of all the ghosts, so each game you play you can have a legit winner. So, as soon as Mojang fixes ghosts, we keep the restarts.

The server restarts really help solve the memory leak problems. Also, it helps keep circulation of the thousands of players attempting to join our servers up. So really, it benefits everyone fairly. If you still don't like it, you could always donate :D

I know, I'm not too fond if it either. But after a while, it's easy to get into server. Just join right after a deathmatch ends in a server. That's how I get to play with my friends. Works 80% of the time. I know I'm a donator, but my friends aren't and we both get into the server.

I know what the ghosts are... I said when the ghost problem is fixed...

I know that's why I suggested it still restart every few games. And it's harder for 4 of us to join the server because before we could join a server when it had 3 people left and wait for it to end just to get teleported to the lobby, now we have to close minecraft because we keep getting communication errors and then by the time we are back it's full. At most 2/4 people have gotten on.
We can't all become donors anyway. We are all under 15.

We keep getting communication errors, which is the main problem. And then the server fills up (even when we don't get communication errors) and only a couple of us all get in. It's really hard to play with all of my friends that play this.

I'm not suggesting we completely stop the restarts, I'm suggesting we don't do them after every game. Maybe we have 2 games without restarts then after the 3rd game it restarts.

It restarts to switch the map and reset it. It is needed.

The restarts can actually be beneficial in that it is a lot easier to get in between the reboot.
