1. How old are you?: 53
2. What is your minecraft username?: WC_Shill
3. Are you a donator.. if so what rank and what server did you donate to?: Yes, Skylord, Skyblock
4. How often are you on the server? 5-7 days a week
5. How often can you be online?: 5-7 days a week
6. Which server are you applying to be staff on?: Skyblock Early AM Us Central timezone.
7. Do you vote for the server every day ( this is required )?: Yes
- Advanced Questions -
1. Can you provide your experience with moderating? Give examples:
I have set up and run a few small servers (bukkit, tekkit, ftb, my own skyblock tekkit crossbreed modpack.)
I have been a moderator or administrator on 2 medium sized servers that are now defunct, Pleasant Servers and Pioneers and Settlers.
2. Have you broken any rules of the server? (This can be checked): Not that I am aware of.
3. Do you have any experience with forums/forum moderation?: Some, not a lot.
4. Do you understand the punishments that coincide with the rules?:
I understand that the punishment should fit the crime.
I do not have a list of exactly what punishments you have for each rule infraction.
5. Why do you think your best for this position out of all other people that have applied?:
Age, experience and the fact that I can and often am online when there are no moderators or administrators around
(I normally play from around 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday - Friday US central time zone.)
- Hypothetical Questions -
1. You are the only moderator on and you have 10 people that need you at the same time.:
Explain that I am the only moderator on-line and assure them I will get to them as quickly as possible.
2. Two players are arguing, one of them has been griefed by the other.
The victim is threatening to grief the player who didn't really grief
but mistakenly broke a block. You are the only staff member online:
First work to calm down the "victim", explaining to him/her that retaliation would have consequences. ("Two wrongs don't make a right etc..")
Second get the whole story from both sides.
Third make repairs if needed.
Fourth report the incident as it may have later repercussions.
3. A player comes on the server and is advertising and spamming chat:
I would follow whatever policy I have been given. If I have been given no policy I would do the following.
1st Warn them and direct them to the rules.
2nd If they continue mute them for 5 minutes.
3rd If they persist kick from the server.
4th If they return and continue ban them for 24 hours and report them so they may be dealt with by an admin.
4. A player needs help with something that requires you to do something you aren't comfortable doing:
I am not sure how this question relates. There isn't much in Minecraft I am not comfortable doing.
Unless of course it would involve breaking the rules of the server, in which case I would explain to them it would be a rule violation.
If their request were within the rules and I was unable to help I would refer them to someone else who might be able to help them.
5. You see a moderator abusing their powers banning players for no reason at all. What action do you take?:
Not knowing what actions are available. I would likely ask them what prompted their actions, and report the incident.
6. A new player is in spawn and constantly complaining about not knowing what to do:
I would offer them help and a suggestion that they go to youtube or some such and watch some videos on how to do what ever it is they want to do.
Great, I look forward to hearing more about setting this up n a server. Theoretically would everyone who logged into the server spawn on the same island? or would there be some way to assign different people to different island areas?
If I allow my players to set up their own zones with //fewand will they be able to set permissions within their zones without having been given access to the normal global /p command. I would hate to give everyone access to edit permissions.
Almost forgot:
Is there a way to see info about the zones other than the listing given by /zone list?
Is there a way to see what players are in what groups? For instance a list of the players in group Guests.
This sounds like just the mod I have been looking for.
I have a suggestion if possible,
To add an automatic or timed promotion from one permission group to another. I used thumbs apply on a bukkit server to do so and it was a godsend.
For instance a new player logs in and gets default or guest permissions.
After say <X configurable time> of active play they get promoted to the members group and permissions.
I havent been able to download and test this yet add fly keeps timing out, I will continue to try though.
Steps I followed:
Erased old .minecraft folder
Downloaded a fresh copy of minecraft.
Installed new MOD Loader as per instructions.
Ran Minecraft.
Quit minecraft.
Installed Rei's Minimap as per instructional video.
Ran minecraft in single player mode.
Worked fine.
Made a waypoint.
Ran minecraft in multiplayer.
Got error 16
Read previous post about making a waypoint file.
Copied waypoint file previously made in solo mode.
renamed it with server ip in place of world name.
Ran minecraft in multiplayer.
said loading waypoints for (serverip)
map showed up blank for a second or two.
got error code 16

This mod would be nice to have on an smp server. Any idea when / if you might get around to that particular future goals?

If no you might want to think about adding it. Thumbs Apply with timed promotion was one of the most useful old plugins on my bukkit servers.

Procedure for setting up a zone.
Select the two opposite corners by:
//pos1 x y z
//pos2 x y z
define the selected area as a zone with:
/zone define <zone name or ID>
example;
//pos1 1600 1 1200
//pos2 1800 256 1300
/zone define Spawn
Then allow or deny permissions by group to this zone by:
/p group <groupname> <allow/deny> <perm> <zone name or ID>
Example:
/p group Guests deny ForgeEssentials.Protection.allowEdits Spawn
/p group Guests deny ForgeEssentials.Protection.allowBlockInteractions Spawn
/p group Guests deny ForgeEssentials.Protection.allowEntityInteractions Spawn
Question, what do the subnodes control
subnodes:
allowEdits block breaking?
allowBlockInteractions placement and access of chests?
allowEntityInteractions Mobs Players?
overrideProtection ?
