1) Setup a crowdfunding plan.
2) Set goal to 360€.
3) Disable donations for the rest of the month when goal is reached.
4) Pay for server with donations.
5) Ban chinese.
6) Open donations again when new month starts until goal has been reached again.
??????????????????????????????
How can you feel like number 5 will solve anything? the team here needs someone that can speak Chinese or have a Chinese version of the website to clearly show them the rules. You are acting like all gold sellers are Chinese which is not the case, you should have a good look through a site like owned core's buy and sell section for WoW.
With Chinese players they need information in there own language Google Translate does a horrible job with everything, so staff making posts saying one language in global, and general communication channels wont really help because first, I doubt they would be looking there, and second it's not going to make sense.
But with the idea of crowdfunding or making a type of "clone website script like Patreon"(patreon.com) would work nicely, maybe setup a nice forum rank or some similar type of reward for anyone that donates over X amount. (These type of rewards are only visual and would have no effect on the game)
Plus with number 6 Patreon can set a cap for the monthly amount needed, so once you have it you wouldn't need to ask for more.
