Breaking the rules doesn't always call for a ban. Take dobreira's ban for example, 1 year for hitting someone through a portal on PvE. 1 fucking year. Don't you understand how bullshit that is?
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.

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.

Could you provide a graph of total active players from that time scale?
Not easily

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%

I don't understand... even... what! The point you're trying to make is... that.. few among our rather small playerbase is complaining about it being ban-happy? What a startling insight! The people who aren't banned aren't complaining about being banned! Whodathunkit... A brave argument, but it rather forgets there are 100,000 minecraft players who will never join the servers without having to register a forum account. Most people won't even bother going to nerd.nu/appeal. Many were banned for minor griefing that would be a week-long tempban on any other server.
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.
You seem to think of your job as quality-control for the servers, like a bouncer at a nightclub with a dress code.
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.

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!

I'm reminded of this clip from Liar Liar,
Do you not agree that MCPublic is seen as a ban-happy server?
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?

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?

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>

For Switchviews and Slide, my main issue is that begging is required. In no way do I see some of these bans needing "begging." People are constantly required to respond back after their ban date has been set and in my eyes thats pointless, what is the point in that?
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.
Now for my comment on reading between the lines is that no matter what an admin or mod could make a case around anyone just to ban them. The rules are twisted and turned to fit their selected narrative so they can be banned in certain situations.
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.

I feel like making someone beg or be submissive will leave a terrible taste in your mouth about a server. You want a peaceful server to play on that you're not worried that you're going to be banned for not reading between the lines constantly. A lot of newer players that haven't been here long see whats going on as a reason not to play here or stay around. A few have came to me personally and asked how long this type of stuff has been going on for. It's something that I think needs to change or this community is going to start to shrink even further.
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.

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.

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.

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?
-
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" ;)

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?

HI Manky, thanks for reading them, if you could just copy the specific one you broke here, I will unban you asap!
-
That's actually fine. That is where we make public any resolved mod discussions.

So I'm wanting to do a post-rev UHC event, similar to the style of the Mindcrack UHC series. I'm looking for feedback on what y'all would most like it to be.
My original idea was this:
- 5 teams of 3 players
- 1000x1000 vanilla world that becomes smaller as the event goes on
- Each team would be randomly spawned together in the world on start
- I was thinking for team selection, you could submit a team and your combined ranking in the Survival Leaderboards would determine entry.
- Using the leaderboards to me adds the secondary effect of encouraging PvP during rev. Obviously the leaderboards aren't perfect, but it would remove any partiality. We could potentially stop people from just killing their teammates by excluding those kills from the final leaderboard we use to do the rankings for the event.
- You can submit just yourself or yourself and a friend as a team and others will be matched up to try to get the highest ranked teams.
- Each team has 1 player live stream so that everyone can watch
I'm not locked into any of these choices so let me know what you think! We could just allow everyone in, and essentially have a large kill off at the beginning. Doing that though I think it'd be harder to get everyone to stream though.
Alternate team selection methods: Random, get a committee together and 'craft' the teams to maximize fairness, and everyone plays.

Hi Mankyv, sorry for the delay. If you would please go read the rules at http://nerd.nu/rules and reply back here with the rule that was broken. Once you post back here I will unban you.
-
Unbanned, though next time just email admins@nerd.nu.
Congratulations on 100k total server bans
