@Elephant_Parade don't want to know.

Well, I asked, so evidently I do.
: )

I quite like you from your forum posts Parade, but I'd like to know, why would it be so bad for one to be on that list?

I think more to the fact was people were starting to take it personally - these rules are in place for such a situation, where people take political opinions to heart and start insulting each other, fuelled by desire to prove their points. Nysic did a good job in locking up that thread as soon as it got personal, and it's good that he's taking precautions to prevent it happening more; people have proved they cannot debate without invoking ad hominem.

There are some valid points here, but first and foremost;
"Listen to staff members - Enough said! People will always find ways around the rules, staff reserve the right to make changes to the rules to cover these holes in order to keep the server a safe friendly place."
Without rules for trapping, nobody would be confident enough to leave spawn.
Imagine it this way; a new player joins. "Where do I go? How do I leave spawn?" Nobody answers for one or two minutes, so he walks out of spawn. Boom, he gets blown up, or falls down a 60 block hole, etc etc. "wow this server sucks, bye~~".
You're also wrong about the fact that there are many ways to leave nether spawn, there is pretty much only 1, you'd have to go out of your way to use any other one. One suggestion is that the admins should build paths 4-way from the spawn nether portal in each direction.
