    2. What did they do? This user is soo sad that since exploits really don't work anymore, they bypassed their ban and built a Lag Machine. sunxcy used the lag book exploit. Rookiepoo tried to use various oversized NBT exploits, failed and then made threats to me when I removed an item from his inventory. All of the users in this IBR have attempted to harm the server with various exploits such as lag books, etc.

    Freedom-01 has been attacked several times by lag machines which have been used to drop the TPS quite considerably. Paper, I found out, has a setting that optimizes redstone to reduce server lag. The setting, use-faster-eigencraft-redstone when set to true, changes redstone behaviour to reduce lag while maintaining its functionality. I feel it would be worth a shot to implement given its only changes a single thing in Paper.yml and as such, requires 0 developer effort to try and see if it makes a difference in dealing with the effects of lag machines. The recent spike in lag machines is primarily the variety pictured below which is very easy to construct and use with the capability of crashing the server with ease.

    I've also tested the setting on my own server with a similar lag machine setup and noticed no server-crippling drops in TPS. In fact, the lowest the TPS dropped was in the 19s range. No matter how many times I spam-clicked the lever, the TPS would not drop with optimizations on.

    My test results:

    I Vouch. They are very proactive in reporting rule breakers and they always inform me of when someone's doing something funny. Their knowledge in exploits is also quite beneficial as well given most administrators are often unable to handle situations with these types of problems.

    I Vouch. They're still a good builder. Just don't do anything stupid that gets your MB title stripped again.

    Changed to Object. Jwmphall is indefinitely banned across all platforms and is not deserving of the MB title due to offences they committed.
