I've dropped off again, but I spent about a month pretty active on P and never heard of him.

Why are mods and admins voting here? You have your own thread, and there's no point in double voting just to skew the results to look more like the mod/admin voting thread.

If someone used /afk to target players to grief, which seem unlikely to me but certainly possible, once the person comes back from afk they can just modreq the grief.
As for the second part of your comment, it's my understanding that /seen was removed due to players taking it upon themselves to remove a player's build if they were inactive. A player would have to be online to use /afk, so I don't see how this would come into play.
There's a working version of /seen on the internet. Having it disallowed in game seems kinda silly at this point.

What jll said.

Out of curiosity, why, then, was an enderpearl cooldown set up? Was it just to make it so you couldn't just prison pearl people over and over?

BUMP. Any news on this? Since Rei's seems to be down, it would be great is a different minimap could be allowed.

BUMP. Have any discussions been happening at a higher level as a result of this thread?

BUMP. This seems to have run its course. Can a Hadmin comment on the results of this Poll?

But we didn't, which is kind of my point.

Sorry, n00b here. What exactly is basecamping?
It's when you hang out at someone's base and kill them whenever they try to return.

Sounds like something a member of the 49% might say.
Wow. That exploded. I was one of the people calling for the vote, so I accept its results either way. I just said it reminded me of that quote because it was 51:49. Apologies if I didn't clarify that better.
#wasajoke. Might not want to take everything so personally.

I'm kinda sad that this stopped being a thing shortly after it began being a thing.

While I agree with four that barney certainly has the right to post what he did as it is relevant to the thread at hand, I must say that I disagree with his opinion about this specific case.
Firstly, he corrected the player on calling the gags simply because we officially refer to them as mutes. I don't really see anything wrong about that.
Secondly, I do believe that as a moderator of the forum, it is his prerogative to decide whether something was posted in the wrong place.
Thirdly, while asking for patience initially isn't always what is done, I believe it is justified when asking for a headadmin or when one is required, as they tend to take longer in replying than the usual banning moderator.
Fourthly, while linking to the mcbouncer profile is admittedly a little unusual, it's not that far a leap from what us usually done. That being just copy-pasting the information from the mcbouncer profile.

While I'm all for this server, I don't really see why /r/minecraft should stick its neck out for us. They are the subreddit for general minecraft, and to be honest I don't really see why they should specifically recommend us. Sure we still call ourselves the "official reddit minecraft servers," but really how true is that anymore?

BUMP. Looks like most people who care have voted at this point. The current results remind me of an amusing quote.
"Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%."
Sounds like something a member of the 49% might say.

Willravel, do you not see that as banning the account rather than the person, though? Isn't the main goal of this to avoid exactly that situation? If someone uses an alt to circumvent a ban, I don't see why that should merit a punishment that could be way beyond the scope of the original ban. Sure, we can take into account cases pf people who repeatedly circumvent, but we already take into account past offenses when determining the appropriate punishment.

you my friend, are a fucking idiot. (alert: incoming downvotes)
Announcing that you're going to have downvotes coming your way doesn't make your post any less unproductive.

I can agree with that, but as the topic was created with the same intent, then four replied before me I saw this as an already dirtied thread.
So you though to dirty it more?

X-ray is one of the most difficult issues to handle correctly. Like Willravel said, we're dealing with folks who seem to be disguising it better than others have in the past. When you compound this with the fact that it requires rollbacks, cleared inventories, and a significantly long ban period, we need to be very sure that a player isn't just a victim of coincidence.
In almost all cases, the evidence against an X-rayer is circumstantial, and circumstantial evidence can be misleading. For instance, when I first played Minecraft I played just a little bit in single-player mode then logged onto S because a friend of mine had recommended it. At that time I was more afraid of creepers than I was of other players and I didn't know a thing about modifying my client or using texture packs, etc.. So I spawned on S, walked around a little until I found a place to build, piddled around a while, then realized that I really needed to go mining. I dug a staircase all the way down to bedrock directly into a vein of diamond ore. I was excited so I started strip-mining that whole area and found another vein nearby. I wasn't X-raying or cheating in any way, but if someone had investigated me for X-ray at that moment they would certainly have come to the conclusion that I was guilty. They would have been wrong, but I would not have had any way to prove it.
Now I'm the one trying to detect X-rayers and I'm running into folks who just seem to be overly-lucky at finding stuff. Part of me wants to jump to a quick conclusion that they are X-raying based off of one or two coincidences, but another part of me remembers that first day on S.
X-ray is a BIG problem right now, especially now that chests can be broken. We are working hard to solve it, but it's not a simple task. Please be patient while we do our jobs carefully.
I appreciate that x-raying is a difficult thing to handle, but I'm not sure what you have added to this discussion. This isn't a discussion about how we need to ban more x-rayers. It's a discussion of how to handle teams of people when some but not all are x-raying. Did you read at all past Willravel's post before responding?

never mind.

To what extent would they be rolled back? Perhaps if they know that one of their members is xraying then a full rollback is in order, but what if for instance one of the clanmates "finds" a base then proceeds to tell the others the coordinates without the others knowing it was xray.
Right, I don't mean a full rollback like what would happen to the xrayer, just a rollback of the damage done to that base. They shouldn't be penalized, but neither should the owners of the base.
-
I don't think this what he meant. If I'm wrong, please correct me. I'm understand this to be the case of a team of people who get into a base through the use of xray. The thing is that only one person on the team is actually xraying and the others just follow him in. Should they all be rolled back? Just the xrayer? Etc.
In my opinion, they should all be rolled back, since the gains were made through the use of hacking, regardless of who was actually xraying.

This seems very fair.
