Yes, that might be an idea. If I remember right, this new anticheat plugin came a few days ago, and that's also when the problems with the hunger bar started. As mentioned in the hunger bar topic, it almost makes it impossible to play on the server due to problems with regaining health and hunger.

I can confirm this. Shortly after eating melons, I've experienced that my hunger bar almost instantly returns to where it was before eating. This has led to people having to eat constantly, which has given several people warnings and kicks from the anticheat plugin. Also, if you do get your hunger bar filled up, you won't heal automatically like you normaly should

Today I and several others have innocently been bothered by the new anti-cheat plugin. So far today, I've gotten one warning and a kick or two for doing nothing else than eating and walking, which was caused by the hunger bar being bugged and getting reset almost instantly after eating melons. This has been confirmed by several other players on the server and I've not experienced this before today. Examples are people getting warnings from anticheat while eating, like written above. I've also been kicked by your plugin in the middle of a raid, doing nothing else than just fighting some armorless guys with my sword and bow, making me lose a full set of enchanted diamond armor in addition to a high lv enchanted diamond sword without doing anything against the rules. I got no other mods installed then optifine, which has so far not given me any trouble. During the last hour before writing this, I've also seen several other complaints about similar events in the chat, like people getting kicked for eating, swimming and other innocent actions etc. If this is caused by your new plugin, please have a look on this if you're an admin as this is really annoying.

The chat is getting spammed by people dying or lots of people typing the exact same message, and it has lasted for several minutes now. If this is not a kind of joke from the admins, could it be the server getting hacked?

Around the time the server crashed today, several of my nether warts did grow to stage two. It looks like the problem most likely is the server lag from all the people online, like awesomeo said. If I continue to get the problem even when few people are on, I'll post it.

So maybe that's the problem? I've waited for 1 hour now and still no growth like the picture show, even with those torches on the wall. But will I get kicked if I stay AFK for, say, an hour?

Yes, I grow on soul sand. I've tried doing as you said as you can see on this picture, but still it won't grow after 20 minutes of AFKing near it.

Is something wrong with the nether warts in this server or is it just me? I'm desperately trying to grow some without any luck (And yes, I'm in the nether). I've tried with and without light, standing there for maybe half an hour or more, without even one growing to stage two. Weirdly enough this problem didnt occur before some days before the restart, when they usually grew just fine. Has anyone else gotten this problem or am I doing something wrong?
