See.. this is the reason these threads are so sticky.. they start out as opinion threads and end up as bashing, back and forth, nonsense. There is nothing constructive happening at this point...

@NerdieBirdieYT I mean.. you keep saying to want staff to look at how we handle enforcement of the rules, but I've yet to see any actual proposed solutions, suggestions, or ideas for modification of the enforcement system? I'm not trying to corner you here, I'm just genuinely curious if you or anyone else, have any solutions/ideas/suggestions they'd like to propose?

@NerdieBirdieYT Deleting a post made to complain (justifiably, in my opinion) about staff should be seen as a suggestion or a critique, not as a bash to the head. If players are repeatedly noticing problems in the staff system (which Grassling mentioned, and I can confirm), they should be brought to attention, not hidden away because staff doesn't want their title slandered.

So, the way I see this situation is not so much that staff are trying to hide their mistakes or keep their reputation "clean", it's more so that threads like that tend to turn into a manhunt-- anyone with issues against staff can reply and cause the thread to snowball into something much more than a simple suggestion or critique. Thus, a lot of those threads are locked/removed to avoid that from happening. If anyone has a direct issue with staff, they really should bring it to our attention via a private message. That way it can be dealt with easily, without escalation.

I'd like to add that while I've only been a member of staff for a very short period of time, I've been a part of the CraftyMynes server for nearly two years (maybe longer?). A lot of the infractions that staff deals with and that other players feel are harsh stem from people pushing the boundaries of the rules. If someone isn't sure if what they want to say or want to do is against the rules-- why do it? Why not ask first and avoid any trouble?

I understand that everyone's personal views on strictness and leniency are going to be different, and decisions made by staff members aren't always going to be agreed with by players, but in the end, just as R4 said, we are humans--and players-- too, and we are only trying to make our best judgements, given the situation. I'm all for having well thought out discussions and even debates on how the server is handled, all I ask from everyone is that there is mutual respect between players and staff.

I think it's rather unfair to make any blanket statements about the staff-- just as staff wouldn't (or shouldn't) make any blanket statements about the community of the server. It just wouldn't be accurate and it's definitely not constructive.

Don't forget that voting at least once per day for 25 days in a row will earn you a crafty crate, so there's that...

@HaloNest ohhh, my bad! I'll change it then, thanks :D

no problemo! :D

@HaloNest nope

Sure it does-- squids have to be between y levels of y:46 up to sea level. I've read contradicting information on this, but I've tried in single player and have run into this exact issue (changing spawners lower than y 46) nothing ever happened. As soon as I changed a spawner between the appropriate levels, squid spawned.

@JuraraJupiter Naidae that's kinda funny, you were the one that said:

Regardless, glad they've reached a verdict on this.

Yeah, I'm aware-- at that time I was under the impression that they were allowed. Since then the decision had changed, but I too am glad a definite solution has been found. :)

That's an awful lot to spend on an egg without being able to use it in a spawner...

Looking awesome, Ven!!! :D :D :D
