Test servers have been hit and miss historically. Things just aren't tested as thoroughly as they should be and issues that should have been discovered still crop up in the live server after testing is does. Furthermore, I can't really host a test server myself at the moment.

I agree that the last few test server runs have not been the best, usually 1 or 2 people have only been on to test out some shenanigans, so if that's out of the question for the reasons you've already listed, is there the possibility on the temporary removal of this system, in favor for a discussion piece on how this system can be implemented without making dodge far far exceed any other form of defense?
