  • Oops

    It wasn't intended to actually cause any issues. We had understood that there were no changes between the .4 and .5 release which didn't end up being the case. I think this has now been fixed.

  • The end of IA

    @Darth#8206 That pre-dates even my time, so I'm probably not the best person to explain it, but if someone wants to give me a good explanation I'm happy to update the thread appropriately.

  • Regarding suggestions on plugins

    For anyone interested, this is currently what "New Plugins" are approved (There are one or two trimmed off the bottom) and the ones in Selected for Development / In Progress are the ones we're looking at now. Everything else will be evaluated and setup / added in due course when other issues we have on the dev queue are cleared.

  • The end of IA

    Just to make a formal post because I've sort of mentioned this a few times but not formally written something up.


    I've decided to formally end the existence of IA within TotalFreedom, at the current time it's not felt like it's been something that we've missed, and ultimately everything they do the EAO team should be picking up generally as part of their responsibilities, and failing that it should be coming to me.


    In terms of things that IA used to deal with this is where I now see their responsibilities

    Gathering of evidence and writing of reports

    This I would expect to be managed by all of the admins, if you feel there is wrongdoing happening on the server, collate evidence and report it through appropriate channels.

    Receiving reports from players

    For standard admins senior admins should be the default first point of contact if there is an issue, and where appropriate appropriate conversations should happen between the senior admin and admin to try to resolve the issue without the need for further escalation.


    In the event further escalation is required, or you are reporting a senior admin you should raise the issue with a member of the EAO Team who can work out the appropriate result.


    For further escalation beyond the EAO Team you should look to reach out to me.


    For executives you should follow the policy outlined in the executive policy.

    Admin Suspensions

    At the moment the admin suspensions remain in the power of the EAO Team or myself.

    Admin Welfare

    The welfare of admins and the community as a whole will be something the EAO team will now be responsible for where the IA Team had formally done this.

    What was an 'IA File' and what was in mine?

    An IA File was a file stored by IA for record keeping purposes to track public information about an admin in a place that could be queried as required. I have no access to the files, and my understanding is they were all wiped when Seth went AWOL and deleted the server, so I couldn't show you what was in yours even if I wanted to, but the sort of things that would have been in them were:

    • When you were appointed to admin status
    • Any suspensions / misbehaviour that was worthy of logging
    • Any abnormal behaviours that were shown in public
    • Dates when you got admin / promoted / reinstated / suspension.

  • Auto Restart or another idea

    This is going to be declined, we should really not be auto restarting the servers where we can help it, as there are often good reasons it's down, and the more often we kill it and force the process to end, the more times we run into issues with CoreProtect missing data... I'm looking at a few options that Spigot supports to re-jig the scripts but beyond that we should encourage players to temporarily join the other server while we try to gracefully shut down the server that has crashed / gone down.

  • Make freedom.play.totalfreedom.me send you to the last server you were on

    So I am happy to approve (If everyone agrees)


    play.totalfreedom.me will route new players by default to the hub on first login to the network, and beyond that it will route you to the last server you connected to providing it is up, and if it's unavailable it will fall you back to a hub to then pick where you want to go.


    freedom.play and smp.play will continue to route you to an available server within the respective groups, there is no guarantee you will end up on the server you left but you will guarantee a freedom or SMP Server.


    hub.play will be created and will always route you to one of the hubs for those who want to continue to connect via the hub.


    Does that sound like a sane way forward for people?

  • Make freedom.play.totalfreedom.me send you to the last server you were on

    @Telesphoreo#7269 The freedom sub-domain only exists because people got shitty they had to spend 20 seconds in a hub to go to the Freedom server, and the SMP one only exists because that's historically how you had to connect when they were not bungee'd. I've always maintained we want players going via the hub for all connections to the network, because that's what it's there for.
