@videogamesm12#3155 The way the logs are set up to be accessed only works when the Minecraft server is online. When the server is offline, server logs cannot be accessed. Perhaps it would be a good idea to implement something that allows for logs to be accessed regardless if the server is online or not.

So this is something I've been considering for a little while, because ultimately hosting a HTTPD Server as a minecraft plugin doesn't really feel like the best of ways to be doing it. I have not put much more thought beyond "We really should do this" and I'm not sure what format it will take, but I agree that something other than a plugin makes sense.

@videogamesm12#3155 Sometimes when the server locks up, any telltale errors that would determine the reason for a server crash simply doesn't get saved into the log files. In the past, we didn't have this problem as logs passed through the panel. However, since we don't have a panel, most telltale errors from Spigot when it dumps its threads simply aren't saved anywhere. Perhaps it would be a good idea to implement something external that catches the logs from the Minecraft server console and saves it.

The errors do seem to still get logged in the way they always have / should have, it's just not always obvious from what I've seen and often isn't in the latest log but in an older one... Hopefully as part of point 1 this will be easier to work with in the future.

@videogamesm12#3155 Periodic timings reports should be performed automatically to help give more information when the server starts lagging. May come in handy when the server is lagging really hard and nobody thinks to do the /timings report command.

Something I have also thought about but not done a lot with beyond going "Yeah that'd be cool" but have thought about having a script that will check the timings and attempt to remediate through re-starts / similar, and likewise therefore able to resolve the issue hopefully before it becomes an issue / bigger issue.

@videogamesm12#3155 Crash reports can help determine the cause of certain server crashes. They should be made accessible by admins via the server's HTTPD server or (if idea #1 is implemented) another method.

I agree, ironically the crash report folder is usually always empty, not sure why but something in Spigot doesn't seem to like creating them, need to do more digging but rarely see files in there anyway.

Before this goes more to shit and more people make themselves look like idiots I'm locking this.

A decision will be reached by the discord staff team and myself based on the evidence provided and in relation to the rules the individual was banned under.

@fssp#3126 and that's fine if you wish to object based on previously served punishments that's your opinion and will be considered as part of this appeal.

I will not however permit those old incidents that have been previously resolved to be used as evidence in supporting other cases. That would be utterly inappropriate as far as I'm concerned.

@shrimp#3120 to my knowledge they were dealt with before I took over as owner based on what I've read.

@fssp#3119 I don't think they're directly related to this incident, however they show that @MEGAF4IL has a history of this behavior and failed to learn from the last time something like this happened.

As I've said before, we can't be going back and revisiting every incident which has ever happened when they've been dealt with. I seem to recall you being someone very against that as an idea. It is in the past and has been dealt with and is ultimately irrelevant to this appeal as far as I'm concerned.

@shrimp#3117 I would suggest removing the images unrelated to this case. If you can provide first hand evidence for this incident that's great but otherwise I think it's misleading and inappropriate to just repost images which were posted without clear context.

@MEGAF4IL#3110 I've asked the individual who banned you to reply to you here. That way they can justify their rational rather than me throwing people under the bus.

@shrimp#3111 that last screen shot is unrelated to this incident and that was made clear on discord... Not sure where you got that from but does make me concerned as to why that appeared in the first place.?

I didn't ban you. I thought you rage quit until I checked the audit logs. I wanted to know what the fuck was going on and take it from there... Not my doing for once.

@Xen#3095 Charter admins were only by title, they didn't have an activity requirement because if they weren't able to retain their standard Super, Telnet or Senior rank they wouldn't be an active admin, but they would retain a position on the senior roster by title.

Part of the reason the activity requirement was probably not a big deal either is Mark was very much a "Once you're a senior, you're always a senior" in position, so reinstating if they wanted to was trivial.

@Xen#3061 Apologies I mis-read what your quote meant on the last message. Thought you were vouching but then saying actually no they should be banned still which was what I was getting at.

@Tozzit#3084 Yeah, that was always my understanding, that it was but a title. And that's all I really feel it needs to be, something to go "You're awesome for the work you've put into the server, thank you for all you've done!"

@Xen#3059 This is his appeal thread... You're vouching for him to either remain banned or to be un-banned... If neither of those is what you're after I think a separate thread is more appropriate?

@Xen#3057 It was not really a severe offense, just a stupid joke. Did it really hurt anyone? No. Was it stupid and immature? Yes. Should he go unpunished for it? No, but why do we need to keep someone permanently banned for a stupid joke? I am not saying what he did is okay, but to immediately permanently ban someone who is quite active in our community for a stupid joke seems unfair to me.

It's a rule they've then decided to breach multiple times, so they clearly haven't learnt from their mistakes... What you call a stupid joke others see as attacking or mocking an individual not to mention the fact that in this case Dragon was an admin and should have known the rules fully well... It's not the first time they've broken the rules, and the fact they decided to commit the same offence and bypass at the same time during this ban makes me struggle to see why anyone should be forgiving and vouch on his return? This isn't the type of behaviour I'd expect from a random player, much less an experienced administrator...

For anyone here (As there are a few) questioning it being permanent, could I suggest reviewing the forum posting guidelines as this was a category 1 offence for the forums, and the same happened in game... https://forum.totalfreedom.me/d/5-forum-posting-guidelines

So my current intention is at the very least to restore the title as it formally was when Mark created it, as that feels like the right thing to be doing in order to formally recognise those who have formally helped shape the server.

I'm debating if I want to continue to evolve the title to include admins who over the years have also made significant contributions to the server, as there will be admins that joined after the first year or so that the rank encompassed who I think should be recognised.

What I will say is when the title was created it was just that, a title. It doesn't come with anything else in game or otherwise and I'm also thinking that is how I'd manage this.

There was another conversation around if having a "Retired" Rank / Title would be a good idea, but as far as I'm concerned, that's out of scope of this conversation.

Welcome to Flarum...

So I don't think I have a major issue with people being allowed to merge their own plots as long as the overall number of claimable plots is still sane... I think we can limit how many plots can be merged as well in config if we want, as I am not sure having monster sized plots is the best thing?

I object for the following reasons:
