Changed to another server for no reason

Got autoswapped to the ladder #3 server for no reason, I was not on autojoin.
I was playing in the hideout trolling some peepz and got swapped to the ladder server.

Same happened to some guy named Amsterdamned, he said the same thing in the hideout. I was like fu you got auto-join on, but then the shiz happened to me.

No troll, for real.

Look at the new console command in this patch: http://altitudegame.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6531

Some admin was messing with you.

Ah great, so admins can now force you to another server without notice or approval of the player. What a great feature.

Yeah, I think the reasoning was that the only bad thing that could come out of moving people between servers was that it could allow admins to create a bad user experience, which they can do anyways.

The only other problem was if server A is a safe server in terms of security issues and then server B was a non safe server. And then you join server A because it's safe, only to get moved to server B. But then the reasoning why this isn't a problem is that if server A moves you to a non safe server then it can be said that server A is also unsafe, and if you had manually joined server A then it's your fault.

The reason why this feature was made was on my suggestion, and originally it required the player to approve the move, but having it done automatically would make it work better for my purposes, so it was changed. If you are curious as to what kind of ideas I have in mind for this feature shoot me a PM.
