  • Re-Adding NBT Paste for ops

    ↩  Zarcana not like there's really anyone to use it maliciously because the dudes who would use it maliciously are basically all gone at this point

    What's your source for this, lol? Malicious players are always going to join the server.

    ↩  Zarcana and if they do use it maliciously, thats why bans exist

    Our server isn't actively moderated 24/7. Sure, it might be fine to say "let's unblock it and just punish as stuff happens" in some cases, but not in the case in which a player can easily load and paste schematics to crash players, or worse, the server. Especially when, even to an active staff member, seeing someone innocently pasting schematics (unless they're named servercrasher.schem which they might not be) is not an immediate red flag.


    So yeah, it's better to just.. not let people create easy crash chunks.

    ↩  Zarcana i see no reason not to add NBT paste back into the game for everyone to use.

    Should've gone to Specsavers

  • My mc account was hacked

    ↩  videogamesm12 I would also like to add that the player used alts and continued to bypass on the same IP address.


    petiluka (Ryan specified indefinite ban in his hub ban reason for this player)
    Finn7902


    He then changed his IP address and joined as russte and messaged me with "I am back" and thus was banned there from the network.


    I'll edit evidence in later but I have got it.

  • let's talk about indef ban appeal form question 6

    So.. I'm not entirely the most reliable source to comment on this but here's my two cents.


    The indefinite bans list is pretty much just a text page containing the answer to question 1 to the indefinite bans request for the player with a link to the request page on the forum. Presumably, although I haven't seen it myself, a players entry is completely deleted if and when an appeal is approved, as I don't see a list of IPs being indefinitely banned without an account tied to them.


    But I'm also not entirely sure if the indefbans list that admins can see is just for log purposes or if the server actually uses that list to keep players banned on the server, so take that with a grain of salt.


    But from a quick CTRL F of the list, there are ~170 banned players and around 800 banned IP addresses. 1 player has 22 IP addresses linked to his profile alone and I see several other people with 10+. Naming no names here though.


    My best guess is that question 6 primarily exists as just a means to ensure that the player cannot be banned by any means, maybe a console /unban (IP) is done when removing the ban to ensure they're cleared out. I'm just speculating here with what I have.


    Still, that begs the question of whether or not we should be pruning IP addresses or not, especially as the ban bypassing ones are almost always VPNs

    ↩ @'ErickpintoMC2021' You know who I can't apologize to?............James. Yes I'm talking to you James, you are the worst person in all of TotalFreedom EVER!!!! THAT'S WHAT I DO! I CHANGE MY USERNAME EVERY FUCKING YEAR!!!!!! THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!! AND NOW YOU TRIED TO MAKE ME A CRIMINAL!!!!!!! UUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is my reason for objecting. You were banned well over a full year ago and for some reason something about it is still pissing you off to that degree. If you're doing this on your ban appeal over something that happened a year ago, how are you going to act when something doesn't go your way on the server?

  • My mc account was hacked

    Your story isn't adding up since not once did this alleged hacker use your Adityarrr account, but rather used several different accounts to break rules (and admit to ban bypasses) on the same IP address you use. I got Ryan to ban the IP after I realised the IPs all matched up.

  • My mc account was hacked

    Your IP address was used to spam and harrass several members of the community on multiple occasions. You also didn't use a VPN and logged onto the same IP at least 4 times.


    So what I'm seeing here is that you fooled around and violated multiple rules on alternate accounts without realising our bans are IP based.


    Its your IP address and your responsibility.

    ↩  man I think it’s fine that he copied it.

    Its not fine, it's just not. There's one sentence that he actually wrote himself, and it just contains him lying about how long ago it was with a little apology (when copying the ban request he would've seen the date posted - also worth noting lying about how time passes was a frequent issue)

    Quote

    ↩  man it seems that this guy doesn’t speak English very well so he tried to put it in a way that we understand..

    Did you ever deal with this guy? I can assure you he can more than speak clearly and would have been more than able to actually bother to write his own ban appeal. He once spent well over an hour sending me threatening messages about how he would continue harrassing me until I unbanned him, and he knew enough swear words and insults to hurl at staff members who punished him or players who didn't do exactly what he wanted them to do.


    Considering this guy was briefly on the server during the time I was most active, I spent a lot of time with him. He is more than capable of writing his own appeal himself and not pawning off my writing as his own.

  • Ban Appeal

    I have never actually seen someone plagiarise a ban appeal. I didn't think it was possible. The very fact you couldn't be bothered to use your own words and felt that this was an appropriate way to get your ban released is just an instant object from me, regardless of whether you edit this post to follow the correct format. You clearly haven't improved.
