  1. Could use event.nerd.nu for this experiment perhaps.

    As for my usage, I avoided the last rev cos the random spawn meant I didn't see anyone to PvP. And previous revs I've been unable to attend due to work and family commitments.

    Its a shame there weren't stats available from way back when ha

    You didn't miss much... In the week or so i played before getting banned I was only in 1 armor fight, an arena match.

     

    I personally think the changes made to S will just discourage PVP even more for the few players that stick around and build bases. In old revs everybody would get a plot right next to spawn and there would be tons of PVP since everybody lived on the roads, but now with random spawning and citadel everybody will be spread far across the map in hidden under ground bases.

  2. Hello again.

     

    My ban appeal date was set for june 30th, 2015. I am re-appealing my ban today because i feel that a 1 year ban for what i did is just silly.

     

    Awhile ago Denevien told me if i get banned again it will be for 1 year. That does not make any sense because I broke such a minor rule that should have just been a warning / a 1-2 week ban.

     

    Like I've said before, I was not aware of what i said was harassment / inappropriate because it was allowed before. No one stepped up to tell me not to say it. Before you say "you were warned multiple times to not say it" I was not. I was only told to leave a player alone in the arena, and i did. After that incident, there was an admin req about me that was open for a week, but since no admins play / do admins reqs regularly I didn't get warned for that until a week later. 

     

    All of my previous bans have been for- (none that relate to my current ban)

     

    xray 2 times - 2012 

    Team grief in ctf - 2013

    and my very fist ban- grief - 2012

     

    Thanks for reading and hopefully I can get a ban reduction / unbanned.

     

     

     

  3. I agree with dizney07.

     

    Since slide is a tech (im not sure how many permissions he has) He could update the page and add a new option for advertising funds. Just need to contact AlLnAtuRalX so he can handle the paypal side of things so everyone will be happy.

     

     

    I'd prefer the money goes through a disinterested party.

  4. Bans are sloppy business on this server, since policy changes according to how badly a member of staff wants to ban a player, while at the same time we insist that the same rules are being enforced in each case.

     

    Personal grievance is as big an influence in these bans as wider server opinion.  For instance, Forzaire’s shenanigans attracted very little ire in-game, but his appeal was handled very confrontationally. Slide was really annoyed by his behaviour outside of the game and set out to make an example of him.

     

    The attitude that the player base needs teaching like this is really “toxic”. MCPublic’s banning system serves to help people play Minecraft; it is not a daycare or a HR department. The way players chose to play does not need to be moulded or managed. Don’t blame them for behaving like kids if that’s how you choose to treat them. Disrespect between players and staff can run both ways and neither is good for the health of the servers.

     

    We need fewer better written rules, a broader range of mods enforcing them and better use of server specific rules.

    I agree with all of this.

  5. I've never seen posting images into the sidebar directly to be used for anything other than trolling purposes in my time on mumble. I wanted its removal before the incident in question occurred, and I don't see a legitimate reason for bringing it back. IIRC it's supposed to be completely disabled, but due to technical reasons that isn't possible, so they use an incredibly small file size, and people are circumventing that. If you need to have people see an image, there is nothing stopping you from posting a link that people can click at their own leisure.

     

    I understand they have been used for trolling that those are specific users trolling. If there are any more reports about trolling the user that is doing it should be punished instead of the whole server. Here are some examples of pictures that i have to use in the mumble chat:

  6. Since this is a discussion about the banning policies, I would like to ask if we could get the ability to send larger pictures to channels in mumble? If i recalled the picture limit size limit was recently added because of one situation between a group of players. I think just because there was 1 accident like this between players it is a little unfair to remove this privilege from every other user.

  7. I mean to be fair, they get banned because they break the rules. I don't know if like we could allow players to make a temporary forum account if they only come to get unbanned or something. If players really feel shamed about appealing I guess they could do that privately, but you seem to be more mad about getting banned than anything else, even though you showed no shame in doing so in your appeal.

    "In all honesty I wouldn't care to be banned or unbanned. It was fun for the couple days i got to play and say hi to old friends while trying to make players mad (which worked I guess? lol)"

    Im not mad about my ban at all. I still stick to my "i dont care if im banned or unbanned" but that doesnt mean i wont try to appeal / try to bring change how future situations like mine could have a different outcome.

    It is almost like public shaming a player for what they did wrong to get banned.

    Yea. It kinda is. I think knowing that everyone else will know you(speaking in generalities) fucked up is a far bigger punishment than a ban length, and serves as a pretty good deterrent to those players who are actually invested in being a productive member of the community. 

     

     

    That is not right at all. Players are already getting punished for their actions in game by the ban. 

  9. Another thing i would like to discuss: I think the ban appeal system is way too public. If a player is banned and would like to appeal their banned it should only be between the banning admin and player in a private thread. It is almost like public shaming a player for what they did wrong to get banned.

  10. How about the temp bans and chat filter? Since the servers have such strict rules on what you can say in chat both of these plugins would reduce anything bad in chat and more people will come back if they are temp banned.

  11.  

    I dont want to argue about my ban in a public thread but: I was banned for something that is vaguely mentioned in the rules.

     

     

    also my ban reason has changed from what it originally was after i talked to redwall_hp. If you really need to change the reason the player is banned after they are banned, they shouldnt be banned in the first place.
