I am not referring to just his signature, in other posts he also has text that is bolded and super sized. Unfortunately you are part of a group of people that takes part in vote brigades, if you see a post you disagree with you share it with your fellow mumble group and you all go downvote it together. On reddit this is called "Vote Brigading" and is bannable there. Quote by gsand in another topic illustrative to my original point. His message is fine, but his execution is what I consider distracting and annoying.

One major concern I have about most of your posts is the excessive BOLD and CAPITALIZATION and colors. They are extremely distracting to the threads.

I had a reason to downvote every single one of his posts, please do not assume to know my motivations for my every action, I know you believe you are above reproach, with most of your dirty laundry already out in the open.

The only reason I don't fully support the change is because it feels forced because people are complaining about their alts being banned. Changing and giving in just yet again shows that we don't stick to what we decide to do. I would support it however if we keep their alts banned, because that was the rule at the time, and they even knew that was the consequence. To me it just sends the message again that you can essentially do whatever you want and if you complain hard and loud enough, not have to deal with the consequences.

So that's your way of justifying brushing off casual accusations against staff? I hear players say they don't want to be lumped together or false accusations thrown around, neither do I. It is a serious issue.

Well, it does feel like an attack. I mean you are literally saying that we don't let people ever ask any questions. If you don't mean that, then please be more clear otherwise it is an attack because it is in no way the truth and I will defend myself/others against an accusation like that.

"every time" ? really? every single time? or could this perhaps be hyperbole?

You do realize it is literally head admins role to moderate the servers with a final say, which includes the forums. It seems to me that you are implying that any moderation by the staff is 100% against the "community" (which the staff are a part of, right?)

Yes, I am defending Mrloud. Because of the following image, which is the complete opposite of a "healthy discussion" and honestly it makes me a bit sick, this seems like mob mentality and the community should be better than this.

I'm speaking directly only for myself, please don't lump all admins together, I don't think the players like when it happens to them.

I downvoted him because i felt he was trying to tell the heads what to do, it seems the few recent threads have been, in context, very hostile towards staff and imo disrespectful. That's just my opinion , though I know others feel the same. Y'all are trying to help, but it is coming off more as attacks. But if we say or do anything about it we are oppressing people and get flamed. I'm just not sure what to do. Oh, i'm being 100% honest, and yes that is extremely sad because its 100% true. I guess that's my problem though and is in no way to fault of any of the players (also not sarcasm)

If i feel like the comment is detrimental to the server, I do. If I actually tried to post my opinion it also is sure to get completely downvoted, after all, only non staff get to speak their minds. We have to be respectful and courteous and never upset anyone or else we are unfit for staff.

And now we can't call out anyone or deal with any bad behaviour because people immediately say we are biased and oppressing them

I chose to remove just downvotes, but i'd lose upvoting as well just to get rid of downvoting.

My newest ideas I've put in the proposed for round 2. "Protected blocks re-appear" - My reasoning for this is to promote above ground builds. I think one of the biggest complaints is that no one really can build above ground in fear of constant grief. This is a legit concern and has seemed to drive away some players. This idea would make any citadel protected block reappear after a certain amount of time, say 6 hours? The block would not drop when destroyed unless their is no protection on it. So an acid block would be required to remove the block. The only exception to that would be inventory based blocks, which would not re-appear, they would be destroyed like normal after their citadel protection has been reduced to 0. I feel this would allow players to break in an steal chest contents, but not do permanent damage. "Slow down cobble generation grief" - There is a patch that can be applied to spigot to slow down water flowing over lava, this would greatly reduce cobble mountains being made.

Survival admins, I was thinking we could keep track of changes and proposed changes for this test rev here.

Round 2 (Proposed) Invisibility no longer bypasses Jukeboxes protected with diamonds Night Vision potion allows you to see invisible players Protected blocks re-appear Slow down cobble generation grief Enable normal beacons Round 1 (Implemented) Invisibility bypasses snitches Snitch radius reduced to 11

Have there been any new instances of the disappearances on C in the past week?

We are, and have been running the spigot anti xray stuff for a while.

I am working on making the servers restart less, so for now C is restarting every 4 hours.

Also, can we, as staff, at the very least try not to be too rash about dismissing this rev? Sure you can not like some of the changes, but being overly rash to anger doesn't help anything. This issue literally came up last night, and the server hasn't even been up a week. These changes aren't 100% permanent and we knew going into this we will have to make tweaks. This iteration is not exactly what S "is" (no one person gets to say what s "is" either) but we've got to continue to evolve and try to make that evolution for the better. Lets just all try to calmly discuss this stuff so we can make S a better experience for everyone, old *and* new. No one persons version of s is more "right" than anyone elses.

So I haven't been pearled yet so I'm not 100% on how it all works. When you get free'd are you ALWAYS killed or only if you are in the end? I think what happened here is the player was pearled, then /ppsummon'd and pushed into the obsidian pit, then they were /ppfree'd which I thought would kill the player so they respawned normally, but from what I'm reading doesn't? So maybe a compromise would be to make it work like they are in the end prison where if they are free'd they die so they can respawn. How does that sound?

Any new occurrences since like a day ago? I made some changes that should help at least make the loss much smaller.

Yes, please. Make a modreq requesting me.

The map saves before it shuts down and there haven't been any errors in the log files from that, or when the server restarts. The next time it happens, please don't redo the area so that I can do some testing on it.
