  1. While taking care of some grief at a big red dragon thing your name was in there with some others as breaking blocks. Whats going on with that?

    If by big red dragon thing you mean the groudon I was building, then all I have to say there is that was mine. I tried to take down as much of it as I could before leaving, but alas was not able to. I assume the people that were banned around the same time as me were also involved with the grief? I could be wrong as I have no way of accessing the servers at the moment.

  2. Hey, I was banned for grief on C earlier. I haven't been on C in about a week, and the last thing I did there was modreq and ask for a plot from a user that hadn't been online since May or something. I'm on vacation at the moment and decided to check MCBouncer for kicks, and was quite shocked. I've read the rules and griefing is not allowed, but I can honestly tell you I don't remember griefing. This leads me to believe my account was used by someone else, and when I have access to a computer I'll change my password. Thanks.

    Edit: previous ban for homophobia (1 Day)

  3. I used to help run a VERY large PVP and factions server and I can tell you from experience that temp bans are entirely pointless. People view them as a slight disadvantage and as soon as the ban expires, they repeat their actions 9 times out of 10. Of course those were my observations so take that with whatever weight you please.

    On those kinds of servers, I'd say temp bans are pointless, as those players have access to things such as PvP advantages (not for much longer, but let's save that for later) and factions allow them to literally claim others' work as their own.

    For anyone who doesn't know how this works, every faction has a "power level" that determines what amount of land the faction can claim. If the power drops negative (members of the faction die, power drops) then another faction can claim over their base.

    On to the 100k bans, I do think the bans that took place from 2011 to early 2012 will never be appealed (for the most part) as it's safe to assume a lot of those people don't play Minecraft anymore. I used to play Minecraft with my brother a ton, but he moved on and plays other games. Some of us might need a reminder that it's the active players who've been around that really know this community and how it functions, and I see often that new guys have a hard time fitting in around here. I hate to be /that guy/ but if some of you could give it a try, maybe fill them in on how the rules work? I see new players join and then leave soon after, sometimes not even saying anything in chat. To clarify, we shouldn't force the rules down their throats, but if they have a question about the rules, not answer with "/me drinks" ? (Questions about minecraft are perfectly fine though)

    Pls to not downvote it's 3:12 AM I might read this in the morning and laugh at it

  4. I agree with this. Survival needs some drastic changes and a big population increase, but I don't want a megaserver. A lot of us like nerd.nu because of the fact that we aren't a bunch of people playing a game online, but rather a community that's developed over time and has always been tightly packed. 

    Some find a megaserver where everything seems unknown, including players, to be more fun, but I think that'd scare off the current veterans we have. If that's what really has to happen, so be it - but I don't think that needs to happen at all.

    Indeed. I personally think survival is cool as it is, but most people seem to disagree. That's cool. I mean one advertisement and a /r/mcservers post that was downvoted into oblivion isn't helping us much. The one thing we never strayed from is giving money for in game ranks / items. That's awesome.

  5. Yeah that's what I have no idea how to go about doing. As a player, I don't feel my say in the community means much of anything (kind of like e-mailing your mayor vs. e-mailing a state representative about a law change (I don't know what that equates to in other countries/territories but I hope you get it)) and also as a player, I physically cannot implement anything. I've also never been in a decision making position at all, and never have made a suggestion to improve something.

    TL;DR I'm just like "yo"

  6. As someone who started out on those types of servers, I must say I like this much better. The servers on the top of all the server list websites are the ones I'm getting at, as those have a large amount of players. I felt like each time I joined there were different people. I actually revisited an old one I used to frequent, and the only people I remembered were the staff. Here, everyone kinda knows each other, and most new players are welcomed in the community. I actually enjoy seeing some of the new guys stick around. You say the ones who join hopefully will stick around, but we may need something to ensure they'll stick around.

  7. I always thought the idea of "more players" is a good thing, but think of who we're up against here. The dominant servers with tons of players are factions and/or mini games servers. Since those have so many people, there is no community feel whatsoever, and a good amount of people in said servers have no respect for rules in general. Are these the kind of people we want here? Just leaving this here, as I may sound extremely stupid / in the wrong.

  8. Honestly see no point to this becoming a rule of sorts. I've been on servers where English only in global chat is a rule. However, those servers to my memory implemented said rule because of trolls in other languages; said trolling was difficult to moderate. I used to visit a French based server where they had no problem with me using English in chat. But here one of the things that sets us apart is the no tolerance racism/hate speech/homophobia policy. "English only or take it to clan chat" would be, in a way, discriminating against people that don't speak English. Not fair to them if I do say so myself. What I find funny is that Zomise is Swedish, so I don't understand why she, let alone anyone, would be annoyed by this?

  9. I stopped the mayoral campaign because I got my message out but the bureaucracy was slow to respond to true progress.

     

    A television set is a set because it has multiple parts. A monitor, VCR, receiver, interconnecting wires...

     

    Because Hanna Barbara was a Western-centric production company.

     

    Deaf people think in actions. Perhaps we could do better if we did the same. 

    this got deep really fast. dem.
