@Cileklim They can't manipulate the whole survey unless they have like 100 alts, this idea minimizes manipulation from all sides imo.

I have over a dozen alts, somebody like me can manipulate easily to the way i want the results. And i have a VPN that i can connect to from over 50 countries.

@NerdieBirdieYT @R4iscool1 Regarding the Grassling situation, it was not "abuse" using the first names of staff members. Grassling mentioned he knew that staff was called by first names by other players.

He was asked to stop referring to staff members by the first names and he kept doing it. He already had prior warnings.

@NerdieBirdieYT Whether his ban was fair or not is not the point. It's what he said after his appeal in the deleted thread (which included nothing breaking rules, so why remove it in the first place? it was a locked thread anyways) that connects to this community. Many, MANY players have left because of rude staff or pointlessly strict enforcement of rules.

It was moved to a private dead section we have. It is just cluttery so we move it there.
Regarding the rude staff how are you so sure that they aren't being rude as well. I'm not going to have our staff get told off because "the customer is always right." While we do take your guys inputs and stuff into consideration, it is not right to have people say their way is the right way. If you have a problem with rude staff you can take it up to me or any other administrator. If you have a problem with one of the administrators then go ahead and take it to Crafty. Over the past few years as admin I have pulled over staff and tell them to change their attitudes toward players. It is literally part of my responsibility to shape them into the way we want our staff to be.

@NerdieBirdieYT But to say that staff's enforcement of rules and general demeanor is NOT an issue to the community at large is blindness. I've been here for three months and it's blatantly obvious to me and most of the playerbase here.

Three months is a short time period to make such an assumption. The way we enforce rules can be tricky at times because there is grey areas sometimes that we have to cover. If we had to think of every scenario we had to be in it would be impossible. People will always try to find loopholes in the rules.

@NerdieBirdieYT Please do not give me the crap of "What should we do? Offer cookies to hackers?" and the like when I am being mature, honest, and allowing for community input on a big issue on CM. I'm not saying we abolish the rules. As for a solution, well, that's why this thread is public, because I am not intelligent enough to come up with a perfect solution on my own.

Going back to the rudeness you mentioned at staff. As I bolded above is that not being rude? Is it right that you guys think it is okay to be rude?

*This part was meant to be bolded right here, doesn't bold in quotes*

Please do not give me the crap

You updated to the newest jar, the server hasn't updated to the 1.12.2 server jar yet. Revert back to 1.12 to be able to play again

Looks pretty badass I like it

I know who you are, you should know the rules. You should know it isn't allowed.

What? Who ever would have thought completely different people would disagree with each other. I thought all of us thought the same way

You say that you were unaware that xray is not allowed but what would make you think it would be allowed in the first place? The clear advantage over other players. Ignorance does not justify what you did. If you did genuinely enjoy it then why did you throw it away? This appeal is denied.

You have been pardoned. Please follow the rules. I dont want to see you back here

On your account it says the last one you posted was 9 hours ago. Sit patient and wait for the staff member who banned you to reply.

@TheRealGarGar Dude I literally say I don't care what you think I was gonna drop it there like what and he warned me and I said I know I'm not gonna say it how does that make sense dude and you're extending it to 5 days

I was the person who decided to extend your ban to 5 days. The reason I did so was that because I honestly didn't feel that you even learned your lesson. How is it that you just got pardoned for chat violations and you already got banned again so quickly? What really also pisses me off is that the first time I met you, I warned you about chat violations and you said "I'm so sorry it won't happen again I mean it."
You did not have to say

@TheRealGarGar Yeah I won't since I know now everyone is so uptight xD

, you could have choose to not say something like a smart ass.
Not only did you have warnings by me, but you also had other warnings from Dawn. What i fail to do is understand how you could not stop to think about following rules. If you were unsure about if something is against the rules to say in chat don't say it.

@TheRealGarGar why the staff is so quick to jump to banning people when there other people probably hacking and breaking actual rules

We are banning those people as well, you are just breaking chat rules which are part of the rules we enforce. You were warned, kicked and banned for chat violations. Chat is monitored by the staff we choose to have on the server, and in order to keep order in the chat and stop it from going to shit we have rules to follow.

I have changed my decision about making this ban a 5 day ban, let's go for a 7 day ban. See you in 7 days, change your attitude and your clear ignorance to the rules.
