Cinco posted in my thread about merging that he unfortunately can't change the current merging system.

Since reverting the system back to normal isn't possible, could we just remove booting from PvP entirely? I'd happily relinquish my ability to boot players from one single match in favor of players no longer merging to boot whomever they please. I think the option of adding a password is enough control for players hosting. Booting in CtF could either stay or go too, but I think booting in arena causes way more harm than good as it stands.
