WondrLand has decided to step down to focus on IRL things. His permissions have been updated to reflect this.

Yes. Welcome back.

You are banned for continually harassing another user in game with your builds. While you generally managed to not admit to anything incriminating in logs, this quote puts things in perspective (emphasis mine): 2017-04-22 13:40:49 [INFO] [NerdClanChat] [*] <Andromeda4210> no one crosses my friends and gets away with it 2017-04-22 13:41:52 [INFO] [NerdClanChat] [*] <Andromeda4210> you assume i'm riled, but that's not the case 2017-04-22 13:42:04 [INFO] [NerdClanChat] [*] <Andromeda4210> I just make his life here hell Another quote about a build you were planning: 2017-03-19 18:22:52 [INFO] [NerdClanChat] [*] <Andromeda4210> although i'm tempted to have it as close to [player] as I can without it being illegal A little over a month ago, you received a warning for harassing another user. This incident involved claiming land in the way of where this user was actively expanding into and saying you would only get rid of it if he met your demands. Though there was an agreement to leave each other alone after this, judging from you quote above you weren't able to let things go. The incident leading to your ban was similar to the one that lead to your warn. The same player acquired a city that you had wanted from a third player. You requested a region and built something near the player's city that you knew he wouldn't like. You then told him that you wouldn't remove it unless he gave you ownership of the city he had acquired. This pattern of harassment and holding builds hostage is very immature, especially when you lie to staff and try to get the person you're harassing and provoking in trouble: 2017-04-04 20:11:43 [INFO] [NerdClanChat] [*] <Andromeda4210> one favor, if you could please ask [player] to leave me alone in the future, i'd appreciate it. On top of in chat verbal harassment, he's been treating me very poorly This isn't the first time you've been banned for harassment. Or the second time. Those are old bans, but since you're exhibiting some of the same behavior I feel like they're relevant. In addition to this incident, we've had multiple players complain to us about your attitude and behavior in game over the last couple months. I want to you take some time while you're away from nerd to think about your behavior and the way you treat others. If you don't get along with somebody then ignore them and avoid interacting with them. There's never a reason to target and harass someone. I'm not going to ask you to post saying you'll follow the rules from now on because I don't think that does anything, and like you said, you know what you did. You can post here requesting an unban on May13th. I hope that's long enough for you to cool down and think things over. Any behavior of this type after you return will be met with a multi-month ban. I hope that doesn't have to happen. edited because i suck at grammar and time

Just posting the actual notes for reference: schererererer (cont'd) circumventing caps spam filter 2 years, 1 month ago c.nerd.nu schererererer muted for disrupting chat after 3 warnings, verbal abuse toward players/staff, 2 years, 1 month ago c.nerd.nu jchance Muted for cussing at other player in chat, being a dick, and calling everyone stupid 2 years, 1 month ago c.nerd.nu Trooprm32 Muted for 1 week, until Nov 29th. 2 years, 5 months ago c.nerd.nu schererererer warned about minor harassment via messaging other players 2 years, 5 months ago c.nerd.nu Sapphric Warned repeatedly for inappropriate topics in chat. 2 years, 5 months ago c.nerd.nu

The wonderful Challenger2 has added the commands /alert on and /alert off, which do what you would expect.

Per some user suggestions, we've removed the "Map is saving" messages.

Since your ban is pretty old and your banning mod is no longer on staff, I've unbanned you. I hope you really want to play fairly now. Please refresh yourself on the rules and enjoy your time on our servers.

I'm glad you've read and agree to follow the rules. Even if a build doesn't look important, anything that you didn't make you shouldn't mess with. Unbanned.

schererererer warned for using 'autistic preteens' as a pejorative 1 year, 11 months ago c.nerd.nu Seeing as its been almost two years and I've been on my best behavior since I was hoping I could get this note removed.

//setbiome has been temporarily disabled for players due to players being able to use it outside of their regions. Players can still modreq to have their biomes changed.

Hello! It's time for voting on the Speedbuild Arena Contest. Thank you very much to the people who participated. Voting will run from now through Friday night. While I am providing pictures, I highly encourage you to go visit the builds in person on C at /warp sbacontest before voting. 2D pictures often don't do a 3D build justice. The winner will be put into the map and used for all our Speedbuild Contests for the rest of the revision. Floating Islands Bee Hive Birthday Cake Good luck to the contestants, and happy voting! -The Cadmin Team

Added!

Spawn for the new rev is well on its way to being done, so it's time to open things up to put secrets in. Please be careful with WorldEdit, //undo has been having problems not actually undoing everything. Sometimes. The spawn area is pretty large, surrounded by a ring of mountains. Anywhere in there is fine, just don't mess up the main spawn structure. In the train station to the west of spawn there are some small shop stalls that could use filling if that's more your thing. You could also throw some naturey/park stuff around the plots in Spawn City which is just west of the train station. If you want to be whitelisted post here and we'll get you on quickly. If you have any questions just ping us on Slack. The server is on 1.11.2. Once whitelisted you can connect directly to creative-dev.nerd.nu. Thanks! -The Cadmin team

The contest has been extended one week, now ending on the 31st. The contest world will be transfered over to the new rev.

We'll put in the redstone for the fireworks.

First of all, thank you to everyone who contributed feedback to our feedback thread. We'll be taking it into consideration as we make the new rev. Now, I'm excited to announce that Revision 32 of Creative will be launching on Saturday, January 28th! I'm also excited to announce that we'll be holding a Speed Build Arena contest for the new rev, information located here. Here's a sneak preview of the map that Bardidley is making us using a fancy new tool called WorldMachine, which works in conjunction with WorldPainter. Don't worry, he assured me there are flat parts of the map too. More information on the Revision as well as the changeover schedule will be posted closer to launch date. ~The Cadmin Team

New things are always nice, so with the new rev we'd like to have a new Speed Build Arena (even though the current one is great). Contest Details: - The contest will run from right now until 11:59pm EST on January 24th 31st. Voting will be on the 25th and 26th. - The community will vote for their favorites during the final days of the current revision and the winning arena will be revealed in Rev 32! How to Participate: - Contest will take place on c.nerd.nu - Enter the contest with /warp sbacontest - Find and stand in an empty plot and type /nerdplot claim - You may use World Edit within your plot. - You may add other players to your plot with /rg addowner <plotname> <username> Building Guidelines: - Arena plots are 250 x 250 - Your arena must have at LEAST 16 plots. More is fine. - The arena building plots must be at LEAST 25 x 25. Larger is fine. - Can be any theme you want. - All server rules apply, of course. Feel free to ask any questions here. Have tons of fun and be creative! -Cadmin team

We sent a letter to Santa and made sure he won't go to anyone's houses who are doing Speedbuild until they go to bed.

Apologies for not posting this before, but we decided to extend the contest until Wednesday night to allow people more time to build.

Unless the rule around claims is going to be changed, they're explicitly not for protecting anything and expire after 2-4 weeks. When I think of protecting natural foliage/terrain, I think of protecting things that, were they hand placed, would be considered part of a player build. For example, someone who builds in a forest and wants to keep a ring of natural trees around the edge of their build, or someone who builds on the shore of a river and doesn't want someone else to come fill it. Someone shouldn't have to spend time removing and replacing blocks that are already there just to qualify it for protections. It's not like P is hurting for space either, so throwing another 10 or 15 or however many blocks on a region isn't a big deal.
