@Tez1010 Minecraft is and should be a fun game.

Sadly a number of players don't seem to get that, and have been making life difficult for staff and miserable for other players. As a result of their behavior we have had many regular players go to another server. These players aren't bored with minecraft, they are fed up with the toxic atmosphere that these players have brought to our server.

As a result we have banned a number of players on both the server and discord to give us a break.

They have been making unpleasant references about others under the guise of a joke. Deliberately baiting a player to go over the line to get banned. Harassing staff over recent rule changes. Generally disrespecting staff. Making targeted posts in the forum. Whining to staff and reporting each other.

It really isn't that hard to Be respectful to other players and Practice good chat etiquette

Trying to keep the peace has been hugely stressful for Crafty and the staff. Running this server and moderating it fairly is actually far from easy. We do our best and all the staff give their time and effort for free for the good of everyone.

This behavior has to stop and those of you banned need to either learn to play nicely in this virtual sandbox or go find somewhere else to play.

Just because we allow griefing and raiding does not mean you can come on this server and behave like rude children. Nor does PVP mean you have a god given right to jump in on whoever is in the arenas.

Litematica is allowed and pie ray is not. Get over it.

It is a huge privilege for me to be an admin on this server - I love meeting people from all over the world. I don't enjoy banning anyone. My chat door is always open.

If you are prepared to put your animosity to other players aside and come back then that's great and I look forward to seeing you back on the server.

Regards

Tez

Can't say I agree with some of the recent rulings and reasoning behind them as I don't see some of them aligning with our core values. But I love my server! Long live Craftymynes! 10 more years. 10 more years!!

@Casey_Fluffbat Decided to make this thread as I felt this was unclear to me. If I donate for MVP status, does that permit or excuse otherwise rule-breaking behavior? For example: Offensive/inappropriate language, alluding to commiting acts of violence?

If so I'd rather not donate that amount, as that does not sit right with me.

Thanks!

Now that I think of it, we did actually used to have our own voice and text chat in the discord but thats no more which is a bummer. Special rank color is pretty cool too. Life is good when you’re Top D!

Hell yeah brother! We hate em!

@Dennari43 y'all got no patience

Thank you Dennari!

@ImKopi I think something that might help is figuring out how long it takes for someone to become not a "new player". Like I've been playing at least 7 years, truly think closer to 8-9, but somehow I'm still a new player. If it's longer than that, it makes people who want to help build large bases and contribute really difficult. If only players who started from the server's creation are considered "not new players" and "trustworthy" then that's fine, but I think that will turn quite a few new players (playing on server less than 9 years) away.

Agreed, I would still consider you a newer player, borderline unknown. You would have to of joined in 2015 or before to be considered a trustworthy player.
