  1. Thanks for pointing that out GMMan! Added it to the entry. Yea we definitely won't be giving anything out but i don't think its unreasonable for a random alert. I went ahead and added one this morning to get the ball rolling, if people don't like it it can be removed.
  2. So I've placed an ad for MCPublic up on MinecraftServers.org and made a quick banner. I'm by no means a graphic designer though so if anyone is or comes up with something better, we would love to use it. It also allows a "description" and a "youtube trailer" if anyone is interested in producing either of those things that would also make the ad stand out more.
  3. Good to know we have a friendly, professional player(s) on nerd that care about the servers and don't just want to cause trouble all the time. Thanks, Jauris.
  4. 1) I didn't call you stupid. 2) You are either being deliberately obtuse or attempting to make us look bad. Now i'm calling you out on it. So, how about we stop with the charades?
  5. Look at your client, where it shows text.. could that have been where it came from? Oh Noez!!! lol, use your brains a little bit guys. But i guess there is a conspiracy!
  6. Do you honestly think he was banned for JUST shooting an arrow through a portal? The recent long term bans were warned multiple times. What's bullshit is that they keep doing stuff. Honestly something I would love is a small page per player on the nerd site that had a list of every single rule a player has broken. That way, when long term bans are issued, we can point to that page and show exactly why. I guarantee it would list 10x more then you ever would admit or even knew about.
  7. Moar graphs! This graph shows the number of "Connections per Ban" since 2011-11-19. As you can see, the trend is that more connections are being made with less bans.
  8. Data to the rescue! This is a plot of number of bans per day. As you can see, the trend line clearly shows we are severely reducing number of bans given out. % of total bans per year: 2014 = 2.4% so far 2013 = 12.3% 2012 = 51.0% 2011 = 34.3%
  9. The codes are being sent currently.... they just aren't working as far as I can tell.
  10. No, the point I'm trying to make is that letting the people that are often getting banned decide how bans should be implemented is not a good idea. For lack of a better analogy, its like asking an alcoholic to watch over my liquor store while I go on vacation. What the hell? OF COURSE the admins/mods are quality control for the servers. What do we just let you decide for yourself if you should be banned? No we don't care about dress code, we care if you start a fight, and we will throw you out.
  11. So I'd like to add some helpful messages for new players to the servers, I was thinking of at least a "First Join" message that is kind of a welcome to the server thing, with maybe the most relevant/condensed rules there. Also for when they use commands that might have been on other servers and they expect to work here, the command would give them a short explanation of why it's disabled instead of just saying "No Permission". For instance on s & p it would be things like /spawn or /tp etc. If y'all are open to the idea, could you come up with some of this text (or give me the go ahead to do some myself) and post it here? Thanks!
  12. I'm reminded of this clip from Liar Liar, The only people I ever hear complain about it being ban happy are the ones getting banned. I don't hear 99% of p complaining, or 99% of c complaining? Those servers are staffed by the same people and somehow, they get along with us and the rules quite nicely. Have y'all ever, even once considered that y'all are the problem?
  13. Man this thread is getting pretty circklejerky, "All of us who have been banned here before don't like the way bans work!" Well no shit, how about you stop breaking the rules?
  14. I'm actually ok with "timeout"/temp bans for minor infractions, <rant>though I know that it will just cause us more grief because it will allow people to claim that more things are subjective and we are abusing and repressing them and we just do things to be mean!</rant>
  15. The point is that they need to follow the rules. Once they break them, they have to acknowledge what they did and how it broke the rules. How hard is this? It is in no way "begging" we don't make them get on their knees, or ask us nicely, they must make a simple statement. This is blatant bullshit. You are essentially saying we are all corrupt and just do whatever the fuck we want which I take extreme offense too. I'm not going to argue this any more because you simply view us as the enemy and I can do nothing to help you.
  16. Read between the lines how? The rules are fairly basic and pretty clear, it only gets complicated because people start rule lawyering. Yes, we do want a peaceful server to play on, and the person being banned stopped it from being peaceful. This is the reason they need to acknowledge what they did and that they won't do it again. It is NOT "begging". They had a chance to play without having to do anything, even acknowledging they read the rules. They are given the benefit of the doubt, they wasted that chance and now need to prove they are capable of adhering to them in the future.
  17. We also have our servers listed on MinecraftServers.org and it would be beneficial if everyone up-voted, though i'm not sure how to promote to our players to do it. I don't want it to be spammy.
  18. Well, It'd have to go to my email (me@slide.ws) in order for me to be able to access it. I was waiting for peoples opinions on it coming to me, instead of nat though.
  19. So a few weeks ago I did some advertising and it seemed to bring in some new players. It was for intermittent time periods so there isn't really any way to match up the ads with joins. I'd like to do some more, having it run for a full day possibly or at least some time period that we can measure it's effectiveness. The funds we received during the CTF are earmarked for running the server so we would need separate funds for this. Currently we don't really have easy access to manage the existing funds so I was thinking I would continue managing the advertising and have people send the funds to me (not sure how else we could do it). What do y'all think? Would y'all be willing to donate $10-20 for advertising?
  20. Have y'all really given it a chance? I mean I'm beating all of y'all (except dizney) in play time and i'm "not even an s player" ;)
  21. So what I got from the mumble meeting is that we want to be encouraging PvP more, to me, this discourages. Perhaps instead of bad things happening to you if you die, good (extra) things happen to the person that wins?
  22. HI Manky, thanks for reading them, if you could just copy the specific one you broke here, I will unban you asap!
