The server I played on would just drop you and do the restart.

You even hear of people in an iron crypt for example... logged out at the wrong time and suddenly they get trapped inside because all the blockages got refilled.

I'm just telling you what happens and why. Some people might like the idea of being able to duplicate stuff so it's hard to say if it is a bug considering all the other things you can do with console.

Problem is world progress is saved on server and personal progress is saved on client. Not sure there is any way to prevent this kind of thing unless you lock characters to worlds.

Now, that makes sense. It's not the server doing a separate save, it's that the server is restarting while you're on it and your personal stuff doesn't get saved. I've had that happen with a client-side crash.

Pull something out of a chest, client crashes, item gone. Put something in a chest, server crashes, item gone.

FWIW, you don't need to exploit server restarts to duplicate stuff. You have your own client/server. You can easily copy worlds on your own machine to duplicate as much as you want.

Well like I stated in my first post... just ask server admin when server is set to restart/reset and stop playing about half an hour before that and you should be fine and stay synced without losing anything. Restart only takes a few moments so just join after it gets done its thing.
