  1. The fact that the trapdoors were not locked by WG does not give permission to flip them just to be annoying. That would be like saying an unprotected build gives someone permission to grief.  

    I did not see the initial genchat message, it was brought to my attention by another player. I did not immediately vanish to follow you around.

    The point is that you have been around long enough to know better and you still want to be treated as if it's ok to do these things until someone tells you to stop.  We are beyond that point.

    You have been unbanned.  Next time you are bored, find somewhere else to troll people.

  2. Dear Duke Rokkuwu Esq. III of Whiteoak,

    Thank you for taking the time to write such an eloquent ban appeal.  I can only dream of being able to write so well.

    However, this appeal lacks any sort of remorse or acknowledgement of wrongdoing towards your fellow players. While, I am sure the trap doors would accept your apology if they could, I read this appeal as a continuation of the disrespect and trolling in which you were banned for in the first place. It was very clear by your chat before hand that your actions were intentional and meant to upset specific players. 

    You will remain banned until a proper appeal is submitted.

  3. You were banned because you found an afk player, suffocated them in sand. removed the sand, stole the death pile and then lied and said you didn't. When I mentioned I had logs that proved otherwise you logged out.

    Please read our rules at https://nerd.nu/rules/  , especially PvE section. When you are done, please reply to me you have read the rules and I will unban you.

  4. Suggestions Pulled  30 Oct 2022

    • add some custom crafting recipes for uncraftable items like saddles, bells, etc.
      • Items like saddles and bells may not be craftable, but they are easily obtained by visiting a villager market. Some harder to get and rare items may be added to a custom villager at spawn in the future.
    • to help with mob limiter problems, just delete phantoms
      • Well it wouldn't be a suggestion response day if we didn't have a suggestion about phantoms. Again, this is a vanilla mob and we will not be removing any vanilla mobs from the game. 
    • A "perfect" dropper/hopper that moves a stack at a time. Reduce lag by redusing overall time that machines operate. eg, auto-sorters can operate up to 64x faster.
      • We are working with techs to find the best option that will work for the server. While moving a stack at a time will help with some farms, it will likely break other hopper uses. We still encourage players to be considerate when using redstone mechanics on the server. Keeping builds reasonable and minimizing sources of lag ensures a good playing experience for all.
    • instead of removing phantoms just lengthen the time until they start spawning so that sleeping at the start of events means no phantoms will spawn during the event. Phantoms still exist but won't disrupt as much
      • We like this idea better, but for now no changes will be made.  We will continue to listen to your suggestions regarding phantoms, but this vanilla mob will remain on PvE
    • disable enderman blcok grief in protected regions; they mess up terraforming and place block where they're not wanted
    • Can we turn off enderman griefing
      • We all agree that enderman grief can be frustrating, but, just like the phantoms, we intend to keep this mob in it's vanilla state.  
    • chest shops or some sort of way to trade items in chest like 32 chicken for a diamond or something.
      • Nothing is stopping players from trying to set up shops like this. Most times trades happen in chat and we like that players buy/sell/trade with each other in gen chat.
    • I would like it if we would be able to modreq for lightblocks as we can for barrier blocks in arenas, would make it easier to prettiry them without spamming torches in the play area
      • We also like this idea. Look for a update as soon as we decide on a price and how best to implement it
    • You should make it so that ShakShuk specificly gets infinite bread forever
      • nope
    • because you guys have been complaining to us about darkroot lag, you should let people get perfect librarians (maybe 3 or 4 to fit all of the core enchants) and maybe make it so that we need every core enchant and like 9 stacks of em blocks
      • Everyone was asked to cut back on things they were doing that were contributing lag. The fact that darkroot was by far the biggest contributor (from multiple sources) means they were asked to cut back multiple things. This is in no way targeting or punishing only them. Players should always be thoughtful and respectful of others. If there is an issue and lag is being created to the point of making the game unplayable , being asked to cut back or modify should not be an issue and should be done
    • tnt for regions plz so we can make tree farms
      • This suggestion comes up quite often, and while we would also love to see tnt used for some farms and mini games, there are still too many what ifs associated with tnt explosions. These farms would also require tons of tnt to work and tnt dupers are not allowed on the server.  
    • Instead of allowing us to trade Pokemine stuff to other Pokemine at spawn, just trade them for squids and release an list of what drops where
      • What? ummm, no. You don't have to participate, but what is the point of a game if you don't want to play it. 
    • make a suggestions discord channel as its the most common place of ideas and suggestions
      • Splitting the suggestions up into 2 sources will just make it more difficult to keep track of, especially as a discord channel. They will also no longer be anonymous. This also insures that suggestions are from players that actually play the game and not just hang out in the discord
    • check out the techstuff discord for a variety of options for moderators to be able to moderate chat without going against our morals
      • The tech stuff channel is listed under general and is meant for general chat between tech loving members, not under the Minecraft header. This is not a channel for server specific tech talk. That being said, having the genchat kept English is not a new concept or new rule. It has been an unwritten rule, but it is considered to be like political talk, a quick hello, or a message or 2 is fine, but longer conversations should be moved to a pm or clanchat. We have reviewed this policy with all staff.  Expect official word from the heads to come out soon.
    • make staff elections truely demoratic and representitive of all our community, let members vote on new staff.
      • You are free to self nominate or nominate a player you feel would be a good mod for us to review, discuss or vote on. This server is not and has never been a democracy. However, we will pass this suggestion on to the heads.
    • there should be some sort of apology mechanism for when staff do or say wrong on non staff/staff, apology mechanisms are used on member in appeals and such, why not staff?
      • We do our best to admit mistakes as we think it is the right thing to do, but don't think there needs to be a formal process. Apologies are not required in appeals, just a statement that the player has read, understood, and agrees to follow the rules though we do appreciate when an apology is given.
    • Add cooldown to the /pvp off, currently highly proine to abusement as it stands
      • We will work on getting this implemented in the near future!
  5. Suggestions Pulled 16 Oct 2022

    • I'm not for custom sacks/bags of holding/whatever, but it would be nice to have something that held all the custom items (like pokemine cards)
      • Not sure of anything we could add that we be much different than shulker boxes. We suggest using those! Maybe soon someone will find that hidden shulker spawner in the overworld and shells will be plentiful!
    • there should be more suggestions
      • We agree! Keep sending in your suggestions
    • I would love it if players could request a full rollback on a build they've done if they are planning on abandoning it completely
      • If a player decides to move away, they should tear down their own build before leaving. Incomplete builds that are not in a region can be modreq'd as an abandoned build. If the player has not logged in for 30 days we will move the build upon request. Again this is for INCOMPLETE builds in an area you would like to build. We DO NOT remove completed builds that are protected. 
    • give regen effect at spawn
      • We give away free food at spawn to get you started. If you are looking for regen for spawn secrets, we suggest coming prepared. If you are not quite geared up (food wise) maybe work on farms before hunting spawn secrets
    • it would be neat to be able to check if a bed is anyone's current bed, I'm always worried I'm moving a bed 10 people are using
      • You should never move a bed you did not place, and we do hope that town mates discuss sleeping arrangements before moving a town bed. However, we do think that there could be some benefit in having such a command. We will bring this up to a discussion with techs. 
    • let us ride phantoms
      • For now such things would only be used for very special occasions. The best we can offer is a phantom disguise saddle, coming SOON™. 
  6. Thank you for reaching out. I am excited to have you rejoin the community. I was heart-broken when I had to ban someone I considered a great part of the community and a friend,  and my hands shook as I typed out the words. But I could not give a stern warning for an action that others have been flat out banned for without a word or discussion in the past.   I understand that there was no ill will in your actions and the build was indeed beautiful, but I just wish it had been built in the overworld.   The other builds you found were previous admin hunts, builds from previous revisions we pasted in to hold an event at. 

     

    I am glad to see you back Standish  

  7. Thank you for your response. While I appreciate that fact that you know what you did, I am missing the bit where you acknowledge that you know what you did was against the rules and that you will not do it again in the future.  I will unban you, and please refrain from these kind of actions again.

  8. Thank you for your response. I understand that curiosity can get the better of us sometimes and I appreciate that you understand why what you did was against the rules.  The world you glitched into is indeed the area that admins use to create events such as the admin hunts which use builds from past revisions and as such these builds would be hard to include into the overworld. 

    Padmins do put a lot of trust into our player base and it honestly hurts when that trust is broken. 

    I am taking into account that you have been a long time upstanding player that has never caused issue on the server in the past and the fact that you realized that you should not have been where you were and left the area without making edits. 

    You are now unbanned.

  9. Thank you for your well written response. I have to say I was furious when I found the build. I am not sure if I was more furious at myself for putting trust in players or that that trust was broken.  I understand that you meant no harm, but I still see that there was a bit of malice in your actions. Using the 'trick' to escape took effort to get somewhere you knew you were not meant to be. The arena was fully enclosed for a reason.  We will in the future now have to put extra effort into arenas made in the event world because we can no longer trust players to be respectful of boundaries. I do hope in the future the measures we take will prove unnecessary.

    I am taking into account that you have been a long time upstanding player that has never caused issue on the server in the past. You will be unbanned shortly. 

    • Distant future suggestion -- powdered snow clumps in the end instead of regular snow
      • As if the end isn't terrifying enough! Although we haven't player with powdered snow enough to know why large quantities would be needed, we can certainly look into adding powdered snow clumps in the end in future revs. 
    • Boost moss creation range (customly) to a bit higher (1-3 radius more)
    • make bonemealing tall grass over moss also bonemeal the moss
      • Once again, this is a new game mechanic we do not know a lot about. However, at this time we feel that this is not something that needs plumping for a multiplayer server. Moss seems easy enough to get.
    • Like how we can ignore deaths, can we ignore pvp on/off alerts? thank you ❤️
      • We can understand how the alerts can become annoying during events or when players are trying to get their head to drop. We can look into adding something, but no promises.
    • ok so, mob heads aren't exactly the EASIEST thing to collect, so why not make them the currency for buying spawn eggs once they become available at spawn?
      • It is an interesting concept. Heads are fairly easy to come by with a channeling trident, and most players looking to buy eggs want to because they CAN'T find the animal.  Regardless, we feel that the current way of buying eggs is fair.
    • /mutechat please... I only wanna see clanchat sometimes
      • Try going into Options -> chat settings -> commands only
    • a /jail? I feel as if it would work to punish players instead of instantly banning/kicking them
      • We aren't trying to "punish" players. There is a consequence for deliberately breaking rules. We have very rarely, if ever, instantly banned a player. Using a kick as a warning and ultimately banning if the rule breaking continues we feel is more effective and less disruptive than a "jail" in game would be. 
    • Apply the glowing effect to anyone who has bad omen, so if they come into our villager area they can be called out for it. 
      • We understand that having your villager markets subject to raids is very frustrating, but we feel that bad omen and raids are part of normal gameplay and precautions should be made by players to keep villagers safe rather than "marking" players that have bad omen.
    • Whoever builds a grinder and opens it to the public can modreq placement of an information sign in Spawn.
      • Players that want to share the location of their grinders can modreq for a marker to be placed on the live map. 
    • Make portal shards non placeable. it makes so much sense to fill the portal with portal shards that I did that, now my shards are useless. Yes, I am aware I should have read the rules more carefully, still sucks. 
    • Have "portal shards" represented by prismarine shards or any non placeable item to prevent folk placing the shards thus wasting time and currency
    • remove nether portal shards and just use guilders. 
      • Not only were shards explained in the info post and on the item itself https://imgur.com/a/WY7dChE so there really should be no confusion on how to use the shards. However; we have changed the portal shards into a non-placeable item.  Since we have made this compromise to make things easier for you, we hope that in the future you will also take the time and effort to refer to the info post or ask questions if you do not understand something. 

     

    • Give cujo a raise for an awesome dragon fight 😄
      • Awww, thanks! We hope everyone enjoys the fight. I would also like to thank players and mods that gave crazy suggestions.
    • test
      • success?
    • A possible addition for a trader at spawn to sell a stack of shroomlights. Thanks!
      • We have added a trader at spawn that in cludes harder to find/get materials such as shroomlights, andesite, sand, etc!
    • Add cross-server chat so I can talk with PvE people when I'm in the creative server
      • We have discussed this possibility in the past and will continue to look into it as time allows.
    • Add R.nerd.nu that contains a view-only pixel art of the classic bill gates sexy pose.
      • um, no.
    • Since plug.dj is no more, turntable.fm is a pretty good alternative
    • /suggestion-box uses usernames for hashes instead of UUIDs, so players can ban evade a suggestion-box ban
      • suggestions are anonymous, therefore we will not use names instead of the UUIDs

  10. Hello,

    Top start, your other post to ban appeals has been removed, as the forum is not an appropriate place for copy-pasta or low effort threats (if that was the intent). Please keep posts here on topic. 

    You were banned for evasion. This adds one week to your ban time. You have also been x-raying. This comes with a rollback of your edits and 1 week of banned time (since it was your first x-ray offense).  With these together starting from the date of you ban, your ban will end on September 27. Please follow up at that time to be unbanned. 

     

    PlaceRebuilder was banned on September 4, only after that account was banned did this account log in. 

    You were also x-raying on the PlaceRebuilder account. All edits on that account have been rolled back as well. This is being treated as one extended instance of xray and will not come with additional ban time. 

    Please take a moment to read the server rules and follow up on September 27 if you would like to be unbanned.

     

    Thank you,

    cujobear

    • A suggestion I wish I had been around to make before the Rev, given it's experimental; disable Phantom, and have the Phantom membrane be either buyable from Spawn, or a custom drop from bats. Would be nice to experience quiet nights again.
      • You are right, this is the revision we should have tried something with phantoms, but rather than removing a mob completely from the game maybe we can test a way to reduce spawns. We will talk with techs.
    • make snow edible
      • Why? I cannot think of why this would be needed and therefore we will  not take such a request to the techs at this time.
    • Can we get signs in end for pvp arena set-spawns? im thinking of making a big arena
      • We will allow for set-spawn signs to be used in nether and end worlds for arena use ONLY.
    • e
      • E. If there was more to this suggestion, please resubmit it. 
    • why can't we have a larger map? like 8kx8k
      • We have had larger maps in the past. We have also had smaller maps in the past. While some players think 6kx6k is too small and others feel 6kx6k is too big, this seems to be the best compromise to include enough space and biome variety for the players. We will consider your suggestion for the next revision.
    • /suicide
    • suicide command
      • There are soo many ways you can quickly dispatch yourself in this game that we feel there isn't really a need to add a kill command. A few examples: hug a cactus or creeper, tiptoe through a berry bush, take a short jump of a cliff, swim in lava, try to become a fish. 
    • allow a couple potion arrows to apply potion affects to other players everywhere (let's say spectral, instant health -- literally everything else opens potential for grief)
      • We have taken this suggestion to techs to see if this is possible. There are a few arrows that might be fun and not deadly to use
    • re-enable Johnny vindicators (we've had them disabled for years), any grief potential they could cause is trackable through other plug-ins
      • While seeing that penned animals, villagers, and players mauled by a Johnny vindicator would be logged, we don't believe the tagging of the vindicator would. So it would be very difficult and time consuming to track back and warn a player for the grief caused. For now, the Johnny vindicator will remain disabled on P 
    • Custom tipped arrows at spawn replacing last rev's potions so you can sell more than one at once (say, 3-5x 8:00 haste II)
      • This looks like a fun addition to the custom traders at spawn. Watch for some new traders in spawn in the upcoming weeks!
    • limit the amount of portals per group of people in a radius and be consistent about enforcing this. a certain group has 4 portals very close to each other when I have been told no to portals the further distances apart. 
      • We have discussed your suggestion and can only recall 1 portal that was denied because it was less than 30 blocks from another portal in the same town. Since the nether side is 1/8 the size of the overworld that portal would have been less than 4 blocks from another portal in the nether.  There is also still a limit to how close portals can be to not cross wires with each other. If you were denied a portal it would be for one of these reasons. If you feel you were treated unfairly you are welcome to contact a padmin or headadmin to discuss the matter further. 
    • Edit the welcome message for noobs to include "yep, this IS the oldest server"
      • We don't currently have any kind of welcome message for "noobs". Yes we are the oldest server, but not everyone asks that or cares, and being greeted by players when we notice the - on log in is part of what makes this community so cool. 
    • A countdown command for events
      • But what fun would an event be if I didn't mess up the countdown? We can look into it, but it is not high priority.

    There are still a few suggestions to respond to, but they require a bit more discussion first.

    • A region flag for public farms - e.g. pumpkins can be broken, but pumpkin stems cannot; berry bushes can be harvested, but not broken; bottom sugar cane and bamboo blocks can't be broken, etc.
      • Thank you for your suggestion. we have always allowed for regions for public use farms, just modreq for one. Public farms can be created in this way by creating separate public regions for just the area you would like to be public use. Please remember that square or rectangle farms are best for protection purposes.
    • update to 1.17
      • We are waiting for a few more stable builds for the plugins and back end stuff we need to run the server. This is why we stated in the info post we plan to run this revision a little shorter. Also, if possible we could update mid-rev and add spawn traders for the new blocks. 
    • Nerf Olav
      • Olav is an amazing part of this community. He makes amazing farms that benefit the whole community. 
    • Entirely disable poision potato drops from mining potatoes, only have $pudcoins (perhaps slightly larger than other comparable sources?)
      • If we removed poison potatoes from mining potatoes, then what would happen to the counterfeit $pudoin market?!?!

     

    • Make a user poll to see if region protection policies should be changed to allow protections more easily
      • We feel that it is already pretty easy to be granted a protection. There just needs to be significant work done on the build or in the terraforming of the land. We will not protect large amounts of land that have no builds, which is why we have started the claim regions this revision. Feel free to submit another suggestion explaining in more detail what you want to see made easier.

    Hiya Nerds!!!

    All good things must come to an end, and Revision 26 is no exception,

     

    As you may be aware, Mojang has split the 1.17 update into 2 parts. 

    This, unfortunately, threw our original plans for Revision 27 for a loop. Without the new blocks and terrain we had been expecting, we had to go back to the drawing board.

     Rather than waiting on a release date for the 1.17 update, we have decided to move forward with a new revision, but with a bit of a twist!

    This revision will be a bit different than the recent revisions we have hosted on nerd.nu.

    To start, we plan on Revision 27 to last 4-6 months instead of the 6-8 month revisions we have hosted in recent years. We are hoping that this will help to get back in sync with Mojang updates. 

    Because we expect the revision to be shorter than usual. this will be a simplified revision.  We have opted out of an overarching revision theme, instead the spawn will be simplified and custom mobs, drops, and dragon fight will be omitted or simplified.

    As part of the changes due to the shortened length, we would like to use Revision 27 as a test for implementing some changes to our usual policies. Examples of some of the changes we are looking at are personal nether portals and changes to how claims are marked. (see below for more details) However; please understand that no decisions have been made final and all final decisions will be announced in the info post that is released 24 hours before revision launch.

    We have made the decision to announce the launch date a bit early with the hopes that the community can also offer suggestions and input in any changes they want to see us try. 

     

    PvE Revision 27 will launch on June 25th (5 weeks from this Friday) 

     

    Some of the policies we are looking at updating:

    •  Allow portal placements by any player. 
      • The connection radius of portals can be reduced and would lessen crossed wiring
    • Personal PvP toggle 
      • We are still discussing the implications of this idea
    • The Not Quite SOOO Perfect Villagers
      • Looking into changing the villager trade setting so that they are not as OP
    • Usable region flags
      • We will create a list of region flags we will allow players to request on their protected area. 
      • Current flags include vine growth deny and trap door use deny (for decorative trap doors) we hope to expand this list
    • New claims system
      • This is the biggest one. Please read the Region Changes Document for more detailed information. This was a proposal written by zburdsal.
    • Sleep vote
      • A game rule will be added to 1.17 to handle sleep voting on a server. At this time we will wait for the vanilla gamerule rather than adding a plugin.

    Please feel free to offer any other suggestions or input of ideas you would like to see discussed. 

    We look forward to another exciting revision!

    ~ the padmins

    • Upvote 3
  12. We will make sure that the rule is more clearly stated in the future. If you see barriers and walls that is an obvious sign that your exploration should end at those barriers. Especially any area that requires a warp sign, that is a clue that you have been moved out of the overworld to another world used for event type things. 

    You are now unbanned.
