  It happens a lot, careful what co-op you join and how much you donate. Same experience here, matches your description exactly. Removed out of the blue.

  Nothing more annoying than a leader who fires other leaders. What I mean is I'm a High Level player and have been a Big Farm Player for 2 years now and I don't feel that being a player for the Cooperatives is such a smart idea. I joined up twice with a cooperative group of players thinking that it would be a smart and fun filled time but twice now I have been ripped off by the Coop leaders and twice now NO Cash back from leaders whom we ALL have to donate money to in order to stay in the game. removed takes in new comers and then removed which is a so called leader whom I feel has NO people skills or management skills as a leader. I invested over a million dollars in cash and GOLD to his RANCH and then he called me a free loader and fired me for No cause reasoning. I'm PISSED off at the Cooperative Leaders who call themselves leaders.

  Hi ricardo99
  
  Mods will probably be having a go at you in no time for naming and shaming... I feel sorry to hear about your bad experiences, but I think you haven't realised yet one thing: the leaders don't take the money for themselves, it goes to the coop's fund which is then used for initiating researches, and recently for buying boosts during Cooperative Challenge. It cannot be appropriated by an individual, honestly. So please don't call the coop leaders [Removed], I take objection to that.

  same thing happened to me when i started. was ordered to donate money and gold, told how i should be building my farm etc, and when i questioned i was booted.
  i lucked out and found a great coop where there are no crazy demands. Allowed to build my farms as i want, donate money or gold only if i want to. It's unfortunate a few bad ones wreck if for the good ones

  The very first coop I joined, the leader removed me, when I stood up against a deputy whom was picking on a brand new member (it was their 1st or 2nd day still.) Wait--it gets even better, lol. The leader went ahead and removed me while I was offline, and when I came online, and didn't have a coop tree, to say I was stunned was a HUGE understatement. I tried contacting this leader, to no avail, I ended the conversation with don't contact me again, and added that person to my ignore list. So I too, understand exactly what you are saying. There have been waaay too many people I've met while playing this game, who made me question why I started playing this game to begin with.
  
  There are good and bad coops out there, as well as farmers, leaders and deputies who are great, and others whose people skills have much to be desired.. to put it nicely! BEWARE! Many say and type one thing, but act and say differently in private messages or while one on one with you. I cannot tell you how many times farmers apply to coops and never even bother to read the coop description..All I can suggest is do your homework.. Chances are if you join somewhere, their recruiting team has put in a ton of work looking for acceptable members to join their team. Don't waste their time and yours, by just leaving after a day. It's unfair to all involved. Ask questions, and if people are not willing to take the time to answer your questions, maybe its a sign of things to come.
  
  I agree Jeff-that the bad eggs truly do ruin it for the kind, helpful teams and farmers out there!
