  • Change the colour accents of the forum theme

    Personally I don't think that blueish tone fits with the TotalFreedom logo. The current accent matches much more well.

  • Freedom-01 - Skip 1.18 or not?

    every time i open 1.19.84 i feel my constitutional right of freedom of speach as a uk citizen is wiped away ...

    Sorry, but refusing to use versions 1.19.1+ will not prevent Microsoft/Mojang from banning you. This is because that the global moderation system is implemented to Minecraft's authentication servers (it's designed that if you're banned, your authentication keys will just be dropped). This therefore means that this system is somewhat backported to older versions of the game.

    My post was satirical in nature... Please don't respond to it seriously.


    Also, it doesn't need backporting to 1.19-... the authentication server is version agnostic for versions that support the newer API.

  • Give developers access to logs

    Quote from wild1145

    For what it's worth, developers can be given log extracts (And I've done so often on the Jira bug tickets) and admins can absolutely do the same if they need developer assistance troubleshooting bugs.

    I think all developers would prefer to view logs instead of making someone else do it. I also believe it's unfair for the admins to do what should logically be the jobs of developers.

  • Freedom Server Direction - Your Input Required

    I understand why everyone wants long-term worlds... but the size of Minecraft worlds is ludicrous. Mojang really needs to get their shit together on this one and make a new chunk format that isn't as wasteful as the current one.


    I propose we wipe worlds after 6 months, as a sort of medium-term compromise between the two ideas. Shouldn't get too big in that period of time (I hope)

  • 13 years of school... the result?

    Quote from characterslimits

    I'm still dumb. Seriously though, the education system is a failure. All they do is teach you about useless stuff that you aren't even going to use, and because you aren't even going to use the stuff you "learned" you just end up forgetting about it.


    Schools should just be removed entirely. Why? Because for almost the entirety of human history there were no such thing as school, and yet despite that we still survived. However, very recently at some point, it was decided that people must go to school. There is no basis for doing so, it was just arbitrary decided.


    Schools suck.

    You write this post knowing for well that school taught you how to write, read, count and it also most likely taught you how to type and use computers in the first place. Yes, the education system does certainly have its faults but if it were removed entirely as said in posts above the literacy rate would nosedive and so would the average IQ, which obviously isn't very good for a country in the Information Age...


    Please stop blaming your sub-par intelligence on the education system. Not paying attention in school isn't the school's fault, it's yours.

  • Remove the filter for /tag set

    That sounds even more bypassable than the current system we have.

    Pick your poison:

    • Strict filter: Difficult to bypass, high risk of false positives.
    • Lenient filter: Low risk of false positives, easy to bypass.

    Unfortunately, due to the limitations of technology (as of right now), you cannot have the best of both.

    Easily a strict filter, false negatives are way more detrimental than a false positive.

  • Remove PlotSquared and cancel the plans for a plot server

    1. The Community is against the idea of claiming land.

    *Allowing players to claim any unclaimed land they want in flatlands


    I think you have a tendency of twisting what people have said into a more convenient truth for your argument.

    2. It's pointless.

    No, it isn't. It provides much better passive grief protection than CoreProtect. With CoreProtect you have to actually notice the grief occurring which may not be possible if there are no admins online or the admins weren't spectating the griefer at the time of the incident. Whereas with PlotSquared, provided the checks are decent enough, admins won't have to deal with people destroying other's builds.

    Quote from characterslimits

    Just go to F-01 flatland, then build a 100x100 (or so) primeter of slabs and boom, you now have a plot! No PlotSquared, commands, or any of that bloat stuff! See, you don't need PlotSquared or a dedicated Plot server to make a plot.

    Without the passive grief protection (which is kind of the point of the plotworld in the first place)

    Quote from characterslimits

    the plan to split plots to its own dedicated server should be cancelled

    Personally, I agree here. I don't see any reason for migrating it to another server except for, I don't know, the fact that the F-01 node is massive.

    Yeah... Because all characters are UTF-8 more often than not nowadays, your point?

    The point is, we already can use unicode characters on Discord (both tags and usernames) so why not Minecraft as well? If we wanna be consistent on how we moderate this server, then we would have to ban all users on Discord that have a tag/nickname that contains at least one character that isn't A-Z, 0-9, and an underscore.

    *Sigh*... Because people can use &k to iterate through thousands of Chinese characters per second and tank the framerate...
