    This post intends to highlight how MCPublic has become less and less about openness and player involvement.

    To my knowledge this post breaks no subreddit rules, and should not be removed.

    • before: Server logs publicly available for anyone to read at nerd.nu/logs
    • current: "We decided to have admin logs working with timestamps rather the public logs" ... "This is a rather low priority issue" [1]
    • before: Subreddit moderation log available for anyone to read at nerd.nu/modchat [2]
    • current: No sign of this ever returning.
    • before: Technical details of the publicly-funded servers readily available [3]
    • current: Head Admin wonders why we should pursue openness "just to make it easier for hackers (albiet as well as legit players) to see the plugin list" [4]
    • before: Head Admins elected by popular vote amongst players [5]
    • current: Head Admins chosen by their predecessors; neither mods nor ordinary players have any say.
    • before: Five or more [6] Head Admins at any time, such that decision-making power is distributed.
    • current: Only three Head Admins. We've had at least one unfilled seat for over a year now.
    • before: Highly contentious bans decided by popular vote [7]
    • current: Appeals can be summarily closed by an uninvolved Tech Admin without elaboration [8]
    • before: Moderators nominated and voted on by ordinary players [9]
    • current: Head Admins decide who is nominated. Moderators then hold a vote, but the result of this vote is not binding and the Head Admins sometimes ignore it.
    • before: Moderators given as much power as possible; Head Admins are merely a decision-making council.
    • current: Head Admin seeks to remove all forum moderation power from Moderators [10]

    I hope this post stimulates a constructive discussion about where our servers are heading.

    in Closed Ban Appeals

    Posted

    I have to wait 5 hours for the logs to catch up. I will post them here when they are ready.

    You logged off three times in combat while fighting buchanman and xThehundreds.

    This is unacceptable, due to the rule

    "Using login as a function of PvP is not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to:

    Logging off while engaged in combat"

    I will ban you for one week as that is the acceptable ban length for logging off in combat.

    Please bump your appeal or make another appeal on 7-1-2013.

    Logging off is different than lagging, the client sends a different message to the server when you lag and get disconnected rather than logging off and getting disconnected.
