[The Face Behind the Name]

Man, I was just going to take a selfie or something, then thrawn has to go and pull out the Obama photo.  So I dug through my archives and found one my buddy Neil took of our friend Buzz and he happened to catch me in the background:

Hi reptilejoe,

 

You griefed another player's build by placing (among other things) 235 melon blocks in and around their house.  This was reported by the player as grief and dealt with as such.

 

 

 

I understand that pranks can be fun for all parties involved, but when it stops being fun for even just one person (almost always the victim, as in this case) it crosses a line from prank to grief.  If you cannot determine where that line is before you start your prank, I'd recommend you avoid the prank entirely.

 

Read nerd.nu/rules and post back here saying that you have done so and agree to abide by them from this moment forward.

Hi Roboman00,

 

You griefed another player's build by placing (among other things) 422 melon blocks in and around their house.  This was reported by the player as grief and dealt with as such.

[Modmode bugs]

It's my understanding based on a few conversations I had with Amaranthus a few weeks ago that this issue occurs due to chunks not being fully sent to the client before the tp back to the normal non-modmode player location.

 

I've had a 100% success rate avoiding the issue by following this process:

/modmode
/sethome
[do whatever I need to do in modmode]
/home
/modmode

This loads the chunks back where you entered (and will be exiting) modmode while you're still in modmode before you switch back to your regular player self.

 

I've been coaching other mods on this process as much as I can in game on P, and it seems to have been working for us.  Seeing as it requires no current additional tech work (meaning a short term fix before the actual modmode plugin can be fixed) and doesn't require adding moderator permissions to mods outside of modmode, I believe it to be a more viable alternative than the //unstuck option discussed above.
