↩  GeekGuy432 I disagree. The only person who can really know the full scope of what went on is the admin who gave out the punishment. As I said in my long winded essay, it's not like indef bans where the evidence is out for all to see.

I'm not going to blatantly overrule the decision of an admin because I probably wasn't there. I trust the other admins on this server to do the right thing - if they believe a player overstepped the line to get sec 2ed, I will back their judgement.

Personally, appeals should only be used for 24 hour bans if there may have been a misunderstanding and the admin involved can see the other side of things and review their decision. Else it should just be waited out.

/say is the admin command that makes our chat messages pink and like this

[Server:username] » message

Going to wait until I cast a vote or my opinion on this.

↩  man /ro is meant to be fast, and not logging to coreprotect isn't honestly that bad of an idea whether intentional or not. Its an admin only command that, at least my personal experience, has been generally used to get rid of tile entities or disruptive blocks that are causing a mess.

When I'm clearing a plot that has 100,000 chests on it, I'd like the chests to be removed as soon as possible so my computer doesn't explode, and there's also no point in logging an extra 100,000 entries to the already huge coreprotect logs for something which doesn't need to be logged.

The server is marketed on several websites in which voting will rise us up the leaderboards and show us to more people.

Alas, actual advertising on these websites is expensive business and not sustainable considering our servers lack of donations.

↩  fssp it's not punishing them lol, if they ever return to the server they can get their rank back instantly with no questions asked.

For all intents and purposes they haven't lost their rank or their rights to display the rank because they can have it as soon as they join back.

Vouch. When cleaning up large areas we often need to do /ro multiple times which sends 3 lines of chat each time.

I'm going to spend way too long writing this but this is how I see it.

Indefinite bans, aside from exceptional circumstances, are public. An admin makes a post and displays most of the major offences a player has committed as well as other evidence. The entire community is able to vote on whether or not the player will be banned or not in a thread that is live on the forums for days.

And the same applies to an appeal. Since the community voted for the player to be banned, the community can also vote to remove that ban in the case that the player appeals if the community feel the player has been genuine enough to deserve being allowed back in.

But many, if not most daybans involve just one person in the decision making process - the admin in question. (there are a few exceptions like chat offences where multiple staff members and even a few operators would have seen enough evidence to cast a judgement on a ban though).

So there's only going to be a handful of people at the very most who would have seen enough about a dayban to be able to cast a vote on an appeal. And not everyone is going to vote all of the time.

So yeah, basically because the decision to ban is made by one admin I feel it's only right for that admin to be the only one who can decide the outcome of an appeal for that ban - and I personally prefer if dayban appeals were only used in the case of possible misunderstanding rather than 'yeah I did it im sorry'

And my final point was summed up in the most recent ban appeal - a player appealed almost instantly following their ban and the community (including myself lmao) casted their votes. But the ban ended up expiring before a significant number of people could vote. So.. what's the point in the voting?

Out of the 5 removed players, I had not ever seen 4 of them log onto the server, and 1 of them I could count their joins on 1 hand. Nothing against any of these people as they all seemed to have moved on from the server.

Quite a few of them hadn't been seen in the best part of a year too - what argument are you trying to make for them remaining on the mblist? Keeping them there is pointless since it's just clogging up the list with completely inactive players and in theory by your logic of not removing for activity you could have people on the mblist who haven't logged in in years.

Dragon is just cleaning up the list with the removals, in all honesty. I can guarantee that at least one of the players removed this evening won't ever know they've been removed.

A post like this might make sense if the ECD removed MBs who hadn't played on the server for X hours in a given month or didn't spend more than X hours helping on a project but he's removed MBs who have moved on from the server for one reason or another.

You'll be sorely missed. Your impact and presence on this server as well as what you've done to this server will have you remembered in a positive light for a long time not only by the general community but also by the individual members of the server.

I wish you well in all of your future endeavours, but if what you've done here is anything to go by, you'll kill it.

All the best.

I will join this movement if I have immunity from being called an egirl and a war criminal.

Going to quote the conduct policy directly

Section 2: Bannable offences

f: Advertising for what may be perceived as attempting to draw players away from the server or its communities. Links to common sites such as YouTube / The Forums etc for example are acceptable. IP Addresses, Server hostnames, Discord invite links and similar content will be treated as a violation of this rule regardless of if the content posted is or is not real and live, we will tread it as such.
f-1: This rule is extended to those whom attempt to use tactics such as DM advertising, and if reported will be enforced regardless of friend status on Discord.

Discord invite links will be treated as a violation of this rule

You were banned just hours ago and there are absolutely no issues with the validity of your ban.

Objection.

The ban has now expired, so this thread can be locked.

Would appreciate some more evidence on both sides of this, especially due to the large volume of objections.

I've seen promising things from helium who has been pleasant and engaging in the community in the time I've been around. As it stands it is a vouch from me.

↩  characterslimits not everything this game offers holds the same value to everyone. Just because they added copper and the spyglass among other things doesn't mean players can't complain about the patching of OPPVP items, especially when the players are partaking in OPPVP.

There's a reason why many people play on 1.12. Or why a massive part of the Minecraft community has ignored 5 years + 9 major content updates because they prefer the PvP mechanics of 1.8, and that is enough for them to ignore the plethora of features added since which would be too long to lift.

Vouch provided you keep your skin.

↩  characterslimits with all due respect I'm not having you sit here and say there's nothing wrong with the above images - they're both pretty fucking clearly swastikas. It doesn't take much thought.

Stop trying to twist what we're saying to make it look like he's suspended someone for nothing.

↩  lyicx AHAHAH

↩  stygian I wouldn't say he's an obvious troll, he's been very active in the server these past few weeks and has been more than decent for the most part.

I'm going to vote neutral, purely to say that it's a very gray area, to me anyway. If I was the only staff member online there's a good chance I wouldn't have dished out a ban for it. I'll see what others say though.

↩  jwmphall you could've at least gotten a clear view of the first link to show these nice people how it looks nothing like a swastika.

As the person who took the screenshots, my only intent in taking them was to show another admin who was on discord what we were talking about. I didn't intend for them to be used as evidence of any sort.
