Red army are hardly that threatening, we didnt ban apathy and they did a far better job terrorizing the server.

The way i see it, if you dont want the drama then dont get involved, unless you are being stupid the chance of being killed and raided by them are very low.
Their numbers will hardly help them find you any better so long as you arent stupidly hanging around the 1k mark of spawn.
You dont have to talk to people and if the drama is spilling into normal chat then thats staffs job to clean up.

Its the same as spawncamping noobs we can discourage it but ultimately its up to the players to use the random tp.
Its undesirable but nothing we can really ban since pretty much everything goes.
They have as much right to play as you do.

@argonFiles A new kind of rank would be cool.

Maybe something less expensive than VIP but with less benefits, call it MiniVIP or something.

Problem with that is we are already out of colours to use on ranks.
So any rank would have to share colours.

People are purists if you are playing vanilla then you probably have a reason to do so.
The other thing is you can never prove that you just run peformance plugins since with bukkit and spigot plugins can be easily concealed.

Vanilla means an unmodfied server jar while some serverlists are less attentive than others, the main we are listed on would certainly not tolerate it.

I also think this is a slippery slope of justification that would slowly lead to more modifications and a significant loss of playerbase.

I'm sure we could compete with other semi vanilla servers and perhaps even top them but such a core change of server type is not something to be considered lightly.

I dont see anything that needs enforcement here.

This occasionally happens when warping from different dimensions I believe it's due to the nether spawn not always being loaded and therefore the command blocks inside it not being activated.

To fix it generally all one needs to do is Teleport to spawn and Re warp to the location you wish to visit.
