In the past, the only way to get observer mode removed from your server was for you to come up with a long list of restrictions on trials, create a gelat shop, and then get a response from Stefan (which is usually the hardest part by far).

Things may have changed—as far as I know, no servers have had observer mode removed since I convinced Stefan to remove it from Era, which was in July of 2010.
