I'm not sure if this is possible, but is it possible to implement a 'Tagged Posts' search feature? I believe that this, coupled with tagging posts being compulsory and the colored tags (Mag's idea), would effectively allow users to search for posts related to their respective servers whilst not restricting an overview of the forums for anyone else [again, if possible]. We have a similar feature on the subreddit, and it works well on there. Why not have it here? I'm not sure how these forums work and so I have no clue how to make this happen, but it'd be good to get some word on this. To clarify, the "compulsory tagging" feature I suggest just means that players would have to take 1.4 extra seconds to click a button and press "OK". Personally, I don't see any downsides to this. Any thoughts?

Just to note, I believe we had 47-43 players on tonight! That's quite an accomplishment for Creative and is very pleasing to see. Another great aspect of this is that PvE/Survival players are participating, which has made it as great as it is. Can't wait for Friday's builds!

Just as a tip, I recommend making a new, vanilla-based launcher profile for this if you normally use Forge, as the current 1.7.2 version is in Beta (IIRC). I'd also refrain from using other mods similar to it, but that's included on the download pages and tutorials.

It depends entirely on that subreddit's userbase. If people are interested in your post and are pleased by it, they will likely upvote it. Because reddit has such a broad variety of different characters, getting to the front page can be very hard or easy, usually depending on who sees it. I suggest you lurk the subreddit you want to post in for a bit, to see what the users there generally approve of. Just a tip, this might've been better off being posted on "Off Topic". Some subreddits with tightly packed communities, like ours, will give upvotes to peers more often. Again, I suggest lurking, it helps a lot. Some users lurk for years before posting anything, but you probably don't want to do that. Familiarize yourself with the entire thing and make sure you aren't reposting, and you should be set.

For now, it's best to avoid breaking blocks with any Glass Panes until we get an update on this.

What's it like to be a CAdmin? What was your initial reaction to being offered the CAdmin role? What's your thoughts on the upcoming changes to C?

After reading this thread, I really don't think it should be a rule to leave two behind. Why? As Denevien said above, they're entities, not blocks. Sure, that may collide with everyone's personal views of what "griefing" is, but I personally believe that grief applies to blocks, not entities. We're allowed to steal from each-other's chests/inventories, right? Animals are also entities, whether an owner of an animal likes it or not. They're fair game, it shouldn't be otherwise because the owner worked hard for them. We have all been robbed of hard-earned diamond at some point, yes? That doesn't sound very s.nerd.nu-y to me, leave the protected animals for P. S is supposed to be about fighting for what you want, not having it protected by the rules.

Something that's been bugging me for a while now. Don't get me wrong, but a bunch of upvotes that I see thrown around are given not out of agreement but rather because x person decided to post. Each time I come on these forums I see massive posts raising well thought-out topics with no upvotes, and somewhere in the comments is a useless, single-sentence comment with about 5 upvotes simply because people admire said person. A bunch of us here go with the flow and just agree with whomever has the most upvotes, but that doesn't do much good for anyone at times. It usually takes away from the conversation itself and turns into simply agreeing with a user with many upvotes. Just to clarify, I favour the upvote system but I dislike the way it's used by a bunch of us. It's good to see that the voting system doesn't apply to this section of the forums, it allows us to be more formal and actually raise ideas.

Char, this is awesome! You need more upvotes for this. Also, could I get one with me holding Water Bottles in both hands and in a pose as if I was jumping off a cliff? Kinda like a beserker thingy, I guess. :D

Very, very pleased with these changes. Very. Great to see this happening!

In agreement to Magnyus' post, I'd also reccomend installing Rei's minimap for an alternative to setting too many homes and clogging the list.

Indeed. Secondary BUMP.

Idea: nerd.nu general image.

Perhaps we could just throw in a new tag for it, but I agree with the original idea more.

This thread isn't going anywhere at all, most of the thread isn't really discussing the topic at hand. Can we get back to discussing food sources please?

dem

At the start of a revision, getting an adequate supply/storage of food for a clan/yourself can be difficult, as carrots and potatoes only drop from zombies, there're few cows/pigs/chicons to kill, crops grow fairly slowly unless you've a huge farm to compensate for that. I don't think that crop griefing should be allowed, ever. We reserve that for chaos. Crop griefing is a huge dick move and only serves to piss people off. However, maybe we could change something about users killing owned animals. Although we probably shouldn't be able to lock them as PvE players can lock their horses, we could perhaps just have a strong policy on keeping two animals left or so.

Just a question, how big will the plots be? If fairly big, the contest could be very successful. I'd aim for about 20x20, it's possible with the recent expansion. It'd be cool to have this on the calendar too, and seen as a big upcoming event just as the previous speedbuild was.

Okay, I understand that I interfered with the arena. However it wasn't intentional. I was walking against the fences and jumping up but not onto the fences. I was also starving at the time and I guess that knocked me over the fence into the arena. EDIT: Unbanned.

Alrighty, I'll add you. My username's Eehee333 .

I agree with nearly all the points in the above post. Also, would it be possible to get word from an admin about going back over the 3M recordings? As I said here: we really need to bring that back up.

A short summary of what I've gathered so far from this thread: Creative needs moderators. For that to happen, the voting process needs to change and perhaps even the training methods. We also need advertising to bring in new players to nominate / watch over in the first place, which in itself will take quite some time. If the current mod nomination is disregarded, (which it will be unless action is taken by Head Admins) we're looking at a continuous effort stretching over 4~ months just to get a few players and moderators, getting Creative back on it's feet - it never should've gotten to that in the first place. The main reasons it'd take that long is because of the time in-between nominations, as well as the time needed for the advertisements to affect anyone. This is with a continuous effort on behalf of CAdmins, Head Admins, and to-be moderators of Creative, as well as a whole bunch of Creative's current players. The way I see it, PvE is hoarding mods and should go at least one nomination cycle without getting new moderators. Survival needs a few mods as well, but the large majority of a mod haul should be for Creative. I believe we should also go back over the 3M recordings and see what we can revive from them. Letting that go to waste is one of the biggest mistakes we've ever made as a community. Would we let that sort of thing go to waste in the old days of C? No, because the Admins would've been pressured to keep Creative as a healthy, up-to-date community. Heck, no-one even seems to know what the 3M meetings were despite all the members attending them. I say we, as a server, go back over them and properly address what we could've done differently. It doesn't call for a vote to decide whether or no we should do this, it's just common sense to go ahead with it.

The HAdmins generally, from what I see, pick the players with the best vote scores unless under special circumstances. I agree fully with the 3rd option idea for voting however.
