Apologies on the delay of response. Generally we let the banning staff member handle the appeals, but Cyotie is occupied with other matters at the moment. What makes you feel you should be allowed back on to our mumble?

So, have not heard any opposition to this, so I'm adding the first poll. The first Throwback Thursday will be a C rev. Vote for the one you want to see.

Scher made a partial list of some that were mentioned, but no one ever made the full list.

No, sorry.

Fixed, thanks for the heads up.

The techs said bringing up a server that is already prepped is no problem, thus the repeat each week. So, they will have two weeks to prep the next map. They said to try it live, and if there is problems of scheduling or strain on the other servers, we can go from there.

So, per comments I've heard around the servers, including here, we've spent some time discussing the idea. What we would like to do is start having Throwback Thursdays. Now, I know you may be thinking this is just some April Fools thing, but it is my off day, so I didn't have time to post it until now, this is no joke. So, the way it will work is similar to Magynus's suggestion in the linked thread. The proposed plan is for 24 hours every Thursday, the Event server will host old maps. These maps will be updated to the current version of minecraft, and will be running a post-rev style chaos. This means we will have some essentials such as world border, log block, etc. to prevent rule breakers (yes, chaos still has some rules). The best part about this: old players get the nostalgia of running around their old towns with friends, and new players get to explore how things were before their time. So, down to some details about it. The current plan is to run each map for 24 hours two Thursdays in a row. Each map will rotate from server to server (personally thinking the server order should go C -> S -> P, since that is the order they came about). We will run polls for the playerbase to choose which rev they would like to play on each time around. So, it would look something like this: 1st Thursday - C Rev 14 2nd Thursday - C Rev 14 3rd Thursday - S Rev 5 4th Thursday - S Rev 5 5th Thursday - P Rev 7 6th Thursday - P Rev 7 7th Thursday - C Rev 10 etc So, since I'm just getting this thread up, it may be a couple weeks before we get it all rolling out, but I'd like everyone to post feedback, thoughts, and suggestions regarding this.

Why would you need a vote? Both C and P have an album of rotating pics, we could easily add all of these.

So, no real idea when it would be released, but later in the convo, he said when it is ready, it will have IRC support. I guess we will just have to reban Barneygale so that he has time to work on it :D.

The way our modreq system works, the spot the player is standing when they create the modreq, we have the ability to easily teleport to that location. So assuming the modreq for flowing water was made by the water block in question, when we accept and teleport to the modreq, we are right there beside it. There is no need to separate these reqs from other ones, because it would just be more commands to remember to achieve the same goal. Some of the commands we use will claim the modreq, teleport us there, and view the comment submitted by the player all at the same time. We appreciate you taking the time to write up possible suggestions, we enjoy seeing players take pride in the servers.

I've heard edk mention it recently, so I pinged him about it when I saw this thread, so if I hear back from him, I'll let you guys know.

So, we haven't had techs post in here about the topic, so I poked slide, this was our convo: Unless anyone comes up with a reason not to post a public thread, I'll post it tomorrow (Sunday) evening, and get this rolling, and plan to have the first one be April 10th. So, speak now, or forever hold your peace.

So, I've had a thought (which was brought on by many comments by other people). I think it would be awesome to run a 24 hour map on event on Thursdays (in conjunction with the other 3 servers, not a replacement for them) that is old maps in a post-rev style chaos. We would keep some basic plug-ins such as logblock/worldboarder/etc, but would have firespread and blockdamage on. I think this would appeal to many different types of players: new players get to see how things were done in old times, and old players get the nostalgia feel of playing their old maps. I think we should choose a random order of C, S, and P (this is my preferred order), and have a weekly poll that runs from Friday to Tuesday/Wednesday. The poll would have a list of all revs (that we have a download for) for the chosen server for the week. Once a map is used, it will be removed from the poll the next time we use that server. The players can choose where they would like to go, where they'd like to destroy. I'd like feedback from the techs to if this would be possible/feasible (I don't want to strain the other servers to run this), and if the other admins feel this would be a good idea. Vote in the poll, and leave comments if you'd like.

This would be more suited for a weekend event or something, as once everything is destroyed the fun wears off. We've ran pure vanilla chaos before, and without world boarders, people get too spread out, causing lag, and nothing ever happens. But, as you said, running something similar to post-rev chaos could be appealing to new players, to be able to see old maps, and for old players to have that nostalgia feel. We will look into some possible options.

Mrloud is working on taking suggestions from the other thread to make renders of, but it takes time. If you'd like to help speed the process up, download Chunky, download the revs suggested, and make some renders. The renders need to be cropped down to 880px wide by 180px tall. Once you have some renders, feel free to post them in the old thread, or here in this thread, or PM them to Mrloud or myself.

I'd like to believe your story that you've been serving your ban out, but considering the proof that refutes that, I find it hard to believe. You claim that you have not played since you were banned for mass griefing on multiple accounts during our CTF event, but as I said in the last appeal, you were on multiple times, including December 21, 2013: This was given to me back in December by another staff member, and it was backed up by a separate staff member who was in mumble with you. When this alt was banned, you told the mumble channel that you were banned on your alt. So, I still feel you have not served your time, since you can't even admit your wrong-doings after being called out. Appeal Denied.

The SAdmins are the one to make the policy, so I'd ask them to be sure, but I'd say it is fine to get on another account to go mining or something while you wait for them to leave, assuming you're not combat logging on the first account.

This is true on P and C. The only extra limit on S is that you can't use an alt account for a PvP advantage. Anything that gives an advantage, including logging out on account 1 in a strategic location and playing on another account until you see someone log on can get both accounts banned.

That's pretty nifty

Again, apologies for the delay, some discussion had to take place before we could move forward. On many occasions, you and I have spoken about this and what is expected. As with all appeals, I'll say this: Be sure to fully read the rules before returning. Unbanned, welcome back.

Ban for alanpep on c.nerd.nu for griefing | appeal at nerd.nu/appeal by ludeman84 on 2011-09-17 00:33:40 (1 more bans, no notes) Sorry, seem to have missed this one. This is a very old ban, and you seem to have done what I would have asked of you. I'm going to go ahead and unban you. Many rules have changed since you have been gone, so be sure to really get to know the in-depth rules for each server you decide to play on. Unbanned, welcome back.

What do you propose to call this sub subforum.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the purpose of this Server Discussion subforum
