We updated the staff list and perms so anyone on staff could create announcements for games if players ask which unfortunately I don't believe has happened. I know a few staff members will send out an announcement for games they are starting, but I do agree that the group could be used more. I have a few ideas on how to better use of the group that I will try to get going this week, but I would like to hear from you guys if you have any ideas or suggestions.

Hello everyone, here's what I have for the new alt banning policy. Alt Account Banning Policy - A minimum of 2 weeks will be added to the original ban length for every account used to evade a ban on any of our servers. Any accounts used to evade a ban will be banned for the same amount of time as the original banned account. Admins reserve the right to add additional time depending on the circumstances, and only appealed bans will be lifted.We decided to give everyone a week to comment and make any changes to the policy before implementing it. However, since there is a holiday this week I decided to not count that day as part of the week, so please comment below if you have anything you would like to add or change by December 1st.

yeah, I'm a bit late. I keep changing what I want to say, but it's been long enough that I need to post something. Inactive admins: This is an issue that I think needs to be addressed at the admin level which has been. If I get the time this week I will write a little more on this issue. Inactive mods: This is an issue, but to me it's not a pressing one. I can't really think of huge downside to having some inactive mods, so cleaning up the list of staff is not a high priority for me right now. That being said, I can't see everything, so if there is a big issue with having inactive mods that I'm not seeing let me know and I can deal with it sooner.

Hello Andrew4210, I have unbanned you from mumble. Please take a few minutes to go over the rules, and please ask if you unsure about any of them.

After rereading this it might have come across rude. It was not my intention to come across rude, so I'm sorry if it did. I'm working on a reply to the whole thread which I plan to post either today or tomorrow.

Hello Eva__9, the account Eva__9 is unbanned from our servers. Is this the account you are trying to log in with?

What should we considered active, x number of hours in game, number of modreqs completed, or something else?

Please help me in welcoming our new creative admin, Diamond_Lover123, and head admin, schererererer! Diamond_Lover123 will be joining the cadmin team with jchance, marting11, and LetsBFehr! He started playing on the servers during Creative rev 12 and has been helping out as a moderator since rev 25. You might know him for one of his many giant ponies on C, Cornerstone from rev 24, or Soleil from rev 25! Schererererer will be joining Cyoite911, draykhar, Dumbo52, thrawn21, and myself as a head Admin! He has been helping out as a moderator since February 2011 and has helped out as a PvE admin from July 2011 to March 2012 and since August 2014! You may recognize him for running the uberprojects in rev 6 and 12 or being a mayor of Brom! Both of these people will bring a lot of experience, ideas, and a new perspective to the admin teams they are joining, and I look forward to working with both of them!

Hello Poppyspy, I'm sorry that it the no xray rule was not clear enough for you. The padmins have created a list of allowed mods on PvE, so this should clear up any confusion about what mods are allowed and not. As for using a glowstone bug to xray, even if you belived it did not fall under the no xray rule, it most definitely falls under the "No use of bugs or exploits" rule. For future reference, it's always better to ask if something is against the rules than to try to interpret the rules yourself.

Hello everyone, let me first say sorry for not keeping you guys update on the status of the second general meeting. Right now we are working on restructuring a few things and, I would like to hold off on having the second general meeting until those things are done.

The account Dunk514 is not banned on our servers. I have unbanned your forum account. Please make sure you follow the rules in game and on the forums.

There are plenty of times when this policy has been enforced, and you are more than welcome to check past appeals to find some examples. The current policy is the one you were banned under and it's still the one we are using. Whether or not you think it's defective is not relevant for this appeal, it is there and we enforce it. You are more that welcome to make a new appeal if the policy changes in the future, but for now your appeal is still denied.

I assumed you knew of all of that in your appeal made a few days ago. However, your choice of words in this second appeal made it seem like you did not know these things.

I was not trying to patronize you at all, and I'm sorry if it came across that way. Given the words you were using and the multiple appeals, it seemed like you were unsure about what the policy says, that it was written down, and how it applied to your accounts, so I attempted to clear those things up for you. I'm not trying to talk down to you. You where banned because you broke a rule, so I'm not sure what more you wanted me to say on that topic because ban appeals are not the place to discus policies. Once again, ban appeals are not the place to discuss policies and there are far easier ways to ask about them.

Hello barneygale, I would first like to say sorry, I was under the impression that you were aware of this long standing policy which can be found at nerd.nu/rules: If you are banned under one account you cannot play on other accounts on the server while the ban is still in effect. If you are caught playing on alt accounts while your main account is banned will result in your alt accounts being permanently banned The two alts you are requesting to have unbanned were used when one of your accounts, barneygale, was banned for unauthorized server access. As a result, the alts accounts were banned under the policy above. I hope this policy explains why your appeal was denied, but if you have any questions or don't understand why the these bans fall under this policy, just let me know and I will try to find you an answer or explain it better. Now like I said in the last appeal, we are discussing alternatives to this policy, but as of right now the policy has not been changed. I would suggest keeping an eye out for any news regarding a change in policy about how alt accounts are banned! One last thing, I would suggest reading up on the rules just to make sure you know them since it seems you were unsure of what this policy says.

Hello Poppyspy, Trooprm32 has asked me to take over this appeal for him, andI just wanted to let you know that I have seen this and will be replying later today.

Hello barneygale, as I'm sure you know the current policy is that any alt accounts used to evade a ban are permabanned. We are discussing alternatives to this policy. However, as of right now the policy has not been changed, so your appeal is denied.

Hey Dunk514, is this an in-game ban appeal or forum account ban appeal?

Not necessarily. There is nothing stoping a good discussion from happening in the thread right now.

We are still discussing it right now, and I'm not sure about adding to the general meeting.

Thank you. Unbanned.

Alright, please read the rules and reply here stating that you have read and will follow them.

Hello dirtyfalcons, we are still discussing your ban and hope to have a decision soon, but in the meantime I was wondering why you did not respond to your last appeal.

Alright, so we are waiting for AlLnAtuRalX for information on what we have spent because the stuff like bills, server, etc. are in his name. He has to keep the funds in separate accounts to avoid fees from paypal which is why it's taking so long to get the information. The servers cost $238 per month, forums cost $25 per 6 months, and redditpublic costs $90 per year. Using this and information from nerd.nu/donate/, we have a minimum amount $1,411 is reserve which is enough to keep the servers running for about 6 more months. Please note that this is only taking into account funds raised in the last 6 months, and we can give an accurate report on our funds once AlLnAtuRalX gets back to us with how much we have spent over the years.
