@R4iscool1 I want baron's head, willing to pay 32 diamond blocks.

I have baron's head but it'll cost a LOT more than 32 db :P

@jamlbon Yup, 40 diamonds.

@adamblakely2 @cepheid I have about a million screenshots with you, your hiding days wernt going to last long

How can a towel take screenshots? :o

yet another new staff member falls to Masa's trickery

@Fish_life sorry for the confusion, by "additional heads" it means that list of players is where we bought a large portion of our head collection from.

Personally I'm against mob griefing. When the staff is out cleaning, it's very easy for creepers to sneak up and explode. It's not a big deal as it is, but if mob griefing was on, it would just create tonnes of extra work. As for the Villager issue, just use a spawner. Curing the villagers is faster than them breeding by default anyways.

@Blackened_Dawn Shout out to @PapaNeon

Whaaaat no I was never there

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@ghostassasin81 because the last reply was 3 days ago and it wasn't on the front page anymore, therefore taking away business

@wblaine128 how'd bobcat get a picture of you? :o

@Cileklim I'll go right back to the start then.

Scenario 1

Player A hacks and gets caught.
Player A posts a ban appeal on forum.
Admins tell Player A that s/he is free to come back with an alt.
Player A buys an alt account on ebay for around $5 dollars.
Player A keeps playing with his/her alt like a normal player for few hours.
Player A decides to hack again.
A is more cautious this time. S/he does his/her best to not get caught again.
A successfully gains a huge advantage over other players.
After some while, A gets caught while hacking again.
A gets IP banned.
A changes his/her IP address and buys a new alt.
A is angry because s/he got banned twice. S/he does his/her best to spam the shit out of the server.
As always, A gets banned again. Again, and again.

Scenario 2

Player B hacks and gets caught.
Player B gets IP banned.
Player B posts a ban appeal on forum.
Player B is told that hackers are not tolerated, his/her appeal is denied (for real).
Player B decides to hack in another server instead.

Which one sounds more reasonable?
Staff, why the extra work?

I did my best to explain the real problem. If this gets avoided too, well, there is nothing I can do about it.

Your example shows exactly why an ip ban won't outright work 100% of the time, exactly as the current system isn't 100% flawless.

"A gets IP banned.
A changes his/her IP address and buys a new alt. "

MANY people do that anyways, regardless if they had a second chance or not. the GTA guy for example. he's been ip banned COUNTLESS times and he came back again and again. An outright IP ban won't help anything more than what we're already doing. only so much you can do, and it's being done already.
