Well after loving these server for about 2 days, this server as gone down hill fast!!! More then 2 mods quit and it was griefed 3 days in a row! Day 1: City wide fires Day 2: Massive Flooding Day 3: EVERY sign was wiped and every chest was replaced with ice. If the admin doesn't get his stuff together I would advise staying away for this server.
There have definitely been some major issues with griefers over the past couple of days.
I'll just say, that, steps have been taken, and hopefully, an end has been put to the mass-griefing.
On a side-note, we're getting ready to launch our site =]
I also joined this server because it was public. It was fun for awhile, I made a pretty big sphere about 5-7 minutes from spawn and an underwater dome next to it. I'm leaving now for a whitelist server because it got to the point where every time I logged in I had to remove obsidian blocks from my doorway and floods from my roof. It gets old.
The only solution the server mods suggest is to move farther away, essentially to the middle of nowhere. I don't really see how that's a solution. If I wanted to go into the middle of nowhere and build my own little kingdom that no one could see or mess with, I would play single player. The reason I play multi is because I want to share my creations and explore other peoples' without some douchebag tearing it down.
I've moved over to Shadowcraft now. I encourage anyone who's sick of griefing and these Red Faction ****tards to apply to a few whitelist servers. Yeah they're a little smaller, but the time people are saved by not having to fix griefer damage means that there's more time to build and create. There's some pretty incredible stuff out there, and very little of it is on Public servers.

p.s.-if you find skysphere go to the mineshaft directly under. Go down the ladder and break the walls about halfway down. There's a hidden stash there with all my loot. Plenty of diamonds, iron, etc. Enjoy!
In other news..... Catzoo has started making a list of idiots to Ban! PM me here, and I will set up the listing @ this forum for both admins and mods to check and see who or what to double check/banhammer =3
Sky city was the result of bad location. Right above spawn? Bad idea. It takes any plain griefer to destroy that town because of how close it is.
But if they take the trouble to run all the way to the end of 42 and dig up my house and place Hollywood-hill like letters all over it, that's red faction.

That said, has there be any big griefing incidents lately? Also is there a way to find IP's of these red faction guys? I have a feeling it may be from one IP or at least a subnet that intelli can ban.

Personally, i am betting that red faction is just a regular on the server who hasn't gotten caught and has a lot of spare time. Yes, some new griefers use the name, but it is most likley that one regular who is causing most of the damage.
Have you heard about Red Faction in any other servers? Have you read about them anywhere else on this forum? Had you heard about them at all before the fire that destroyed Sky City?
Actually, I have been to a few white-listed servers and a ton of public ones where these guys have signs everywhere declaring what they do. I'm pretty sure the only reason they stick on this one is cause they got banned from all the other ones, and figured since we don't have tons of 24/7 mods on, they would take advantage. We will catch them thou. I already had caught about 3 of these buggers before I rage-quit on intelli --"
I can give you a few names on those servers, once I remember names.

What seems to have happened was that a small group of people attacked Sky City and called themselves Red Faction as a joke. When people returned to the server and saw Sky City in ruins, they asked what happened, and people responded by saying a group called Red Faction did it. Random griefers saw this in the chat and responded by leaving signs calling themselves Red Faction in order to make themselves feel more important than they really are.
While this is true of some items I have noticed outta the ordinary for these perps, it isn't 100% on random griefers. There really is a group of idiots who claim to be doing this for community, they just stayed secretive till now, especially after finding a server with which to set up shop for longer than 1 week.

mmmm I wonder if they live in Europe's Timezone? That would narrow it down big time.

Have a nice day!
As long as red faction is here, I'm not.
Citadel rests in the hands of whoever wants it.

It is public. Do you have a legit (purchased) Minecraft account?
I question the intentions of your stupidity.
Oh well.

might have to create an overlay to label all the routes and cities so people can get around easier
