  2. Is there a way to enable logblock stick for players on C

    in Minecraft General

    Posted · Edited by kittypuppet

    IIRC one of the reasons they de-modded Nick was because they made the availability of the stick more strict. In the WE update, they removed it from moderator features in general, and made it a feature exclusive to modmode.

    I talked to Nick about it, and he said he'd never make the mistake of building in modmode if he could use coal-ore or the stick outside of modmode. He made several attempts to request that said feature be given to moderators in normal play mode, let alone players, and was shot-down or ignored each time.

  3. The "Toxic" Debacle

    in Minecraft General

    Posted · Edited by kittypuppet

    Can we get a ballpark figure of how many, and how we know how many?

    That is, how many people are upset/unhappy specifically about issues related to this topic of the "toxic debacle".

    If I were to guess, including people who haven't participated in this discussion directly, I would estimate the figure of potentially unhappy (regarding this subject) people to be at around 16 ...

    But I don't know for certain that they all feel persecuted and discriminated against, or like they are being called "toxic" or whatever the actual issue here is. But that metric above is how i come to the number of players who might feel comfortable identifying as part of the so-called "toxic" group being around 16. Would you say that number matches up with your estimates or knowledge, kittypuppet?

     

    Well, right now I have 40 people (and counting) listed who disapprove of grouping people and who are considered "toxic". 15(and counting) of these people are probably comfortable identifying as the toxic group and/or are considered "toxic" by many others.

    These people:

    Are labeled toxic

    Are labeled toxic (and have left)

    Are grouped with toxic people via association

    Are grouped with toxic people via association (and have left)

    Disapprove of grouping people as "toxic"

     

    I'm not including people from JA's day, though I am considering it to show how long this issue has gone on (i.e. - Tharine and that incident)

    There are a couple of names on the list from back then but that's because I personally have talked to these people about it when they came on and visited on mumble and/or ingame. As for how I know who goes in what group, I've talked to a lot of these people personally and have heard their thoughts and opinions over the year I've been here, a few others I've gathered from observation and how people react to what they've said.

     

    edit: Do keep in mind this list is incomplete still

    Who is unhappy? a bunch of people

    What are they unhappy about specifically? being labeled in a negative light

    What do they want to happen? not be labeled?

    Is that desire appropriate to implement? yes, seems quite reasonable, I wouldn't like it either

    If so, what needs to be done to make it happen? stop using such terms, which appears to have happened

    Will they still be unhappy when that's done? probably, you cant force people not to lump users they disagree with into a group and label them as something, at least it seems admins won't be doing it anymore

     

    This is pretty much just it (to my knowledge).

    And Mumber, there's a whole lot more people who are unhappy who just haven't spoken up.

  10. Proposed Revision to Universal Rule Regarding Hate Speech

    in The Archives

    Posted

    Once the ban duration is set for an individual by the temporary ban, how will the 'countdown' display for people attempting to reconnect to the servers?

     Maybe have it so that it says "You've been banned for x amount of time for the following:", and maybe even have a strike system, where if they get temp banned say 3 times in a month, the next time they get banned it won't be a temp and they have to appeal.

  14. Minecraft pet-peeves thread

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by kittypuppet

    Giant land claims with nothing/very little built in them.

    Cults. Cults are a great way to make me hate the everloving shit out of you.

    (I'm not going to explain the cult one cause it's extremely personal)

    If you build your shit too close to me, I will get irritated.

    When kids keep ask people to go see their builds, and keep at it when no one responds/wants to.

    When kids tell us not to swear (there is an age/parental advisory agreement for Minecraft, for a reason damnit)

    Speaking in another language. Not so much a pet peeve, but it will make me suspicious.

    Also religions. No. I'm not fond of fake religions.

     

    These aren't really pet peeves but they do irritate me:

    Diamonds spawning right over lava. Of all the hellish things I could ever experience in Minecraft, that's the worst.

    OH and creepers. Fuck creepers.

    Instead, you should focus on using some people skills in your interactions with others so they'll actually listen to anything you have to say

     

    I can probably name a couple people who have attempted this in the past and yet they get treated the same way when they come back. Don't act like all of the blame falls on them, part of it falls on the people pointing fingers because "there's no possible way that person has changed". It happens in real life and what happens? The person reverts back to the way they used to be. I would know, it happened to me, and it sucks. I was an outcast because of it, and despite my efforts of showing people I had changed at the time, I still had people pointing fingers at me calling me names. What happened to me? I reverted back to the way I was over time because I just gave up trying to prove them wrong.

     

    So yes, while some people need an attitude check, it's the people pointing fingers who need to keep their mouth shut when they come back.

     

    It's something that takes effort on both sides.

  23. Name change Discussion

    in Minecraft General

    Posted

    If we get a complaint from a player whose name has been mimicked by another player it's obviously not a joke to them and therefore will be considered harassment

     

    I'm assuming if the player being accused of imitating is new to the server (as in, just joined and someone's complaining because they have a similar name to them), it wouldn't be considered harassment?

     

    I can see how that could go wrong, because anyone can hop on a proxy and an alt and feign innocence, but I'm also assuming this is a case by case thing, no?

  25. Name change Discussion

    in Minecraft General

    Posted

    I don't know, personally, if I went to a server who had a staff member with a similar name to mine, and I kept being asked to change my name, I'd just leave. I've had my name forever, I've gone by this name for years, why is it any fair for me to be made to change it?
