So for a while now I've wanted to start a Minecraft Server. I've run servers in the past but just haven't had the time to deal with griefers, bugs, etc... so they eventually tank. But I've just recently acquired an all new linux server that's not really doing much around my house, so why not make a minecraft server out of it.
I'd probably be doing the whole shebang. Bukkit server with web hosting. I'd probably use a CMS like wordpress for the website in which I'd integrate phpbb for the forums.
If all of this doesn't make any sense to you, then not to worry. I'm simply looking for a few people to take the journey with me and who would help me administrate it once it's started. I'm a student so I can't be with it 24/7, maybe only a couple times a week, and I need some people who'd let me know right away if anything were to go wrong. I've not thought of a name or exactly what kind of server, probably survival/creative, but I figured you guys would be able to help me out.
With my upload speeds & server specs, I'd probably be able to have about 80+ people at one while leaving a little wiggle room.
Just tell me what you think and if you're interested, say something.
Hey man, I can help.
Me too have also wanted a decent minecraft server and had some in the past but never get any good administration.
Lets make this thing go big -
I will try and play most I can ~~~~~~~ PM Me details later
Hello,
I would gladly be able to help you with running the server when it gets set up. I have been staff before on a server, and I could play for hours on end if needed
I have been Admin/Mod/Owner of multiple servers. I have experience with a lot of plugins.
I have experience coding and getting plugins to work as well.
I am bored and would like to start a new adventure with a new community!
I look forward to helping you and the server out, maybe even help funding if all goes well.

(Btw you misspelt server in the title)
Awesome man, pretty quick response. I plan on gathering the software and everything together, I'll probably get a group of people together, then set up some sort of team comm. service like mumble. I'll get working on software pretty quickly.
Hey, I want to help you out with your server (as an operator/co-owner). I am a very good builder, and know the responsibilities of an operator. I've also been experienced with worldedit and all the other operator commands for 5 months. I can be very active on your server, and while you're gone, I can take over and watch every move of the player to check if they are hacking, bending the rules, etc. It is very easy to manage a server, really. If you need a little help with your console, I can give instructions. I suck with plugins so don't ask me to help you with that lol.
The commands I am great with: //wand, //set, //replace, /co rollback (for CoreProtect only, but I suggest you get that plugin to make fixing greifs easier!), //, //expand, //region, //regen, /kill, /ban, /tempban, /jail, /banip, /mute, /unban, /unbanip, /fly, /speed, /socialspy, //fill, //drain, /me, /toggledownfall, /clear, /debug, /gamemode, /pex, /time set, /clear, /effect, /enchant, /difficulty, /gamerule, /whitelist, /weather, /xp, /give, /op, /deop, /break, /broadcast, /pex group, /nick, /god, /invsee.
Questions I made up:
You recently became staff, then you are slowly convinced that a good friend of yours is using X-Ray to find rare minerals. What do you do?
- Well as operator, I can obviously, with my operator powers, see that he/she is using X-ray. I will first take a screenshot of any evidence of xraying or any other hacks, and tell the owner. I will tell the player to turn off the hacks immediately. If he refuses multiple times, I will ipban the player. Even if he is my friend, the server's safety is more important than letting my friend hack.
You find out that an admin is abusing his privillages. What do you do?
-I need to take a screenshot of any evidence of abuse, and show it to owner, then if we decide that we should demote the player. I will demote the player to moderator.
What do you think is the right punishment for a greifer?
-The first time a player greifs, I will jail the player for 20 minutes. After that amount of time, I will release the player, while warning him not to greif. If the player does it again, I will ban the player with chance of appeal (or if we do not have that,) / I will tempban the player for a day. The third time is a ban with no chance of getting unbanned. Problem solved.
I think I will be a great help to your server to help with everything! I can suggest plugins, minigames, and more! I can even help out with the server website! (if/when we have one) And I can suggest ideas to help this server be 24/7! Hope I get Operator/Co-Owner whatever!
To get the server started easily and 24/7 go to mcprohosting.com to get started!

Lol to the guy above me. You don't create your own application. You're obviously going to try to take power into your own hands and will eventually abuse them. I can see that you have a young age.
First off, you don't state explicit what you're good at, especially when it's all just commands. Commands are very simple, you should be good at any of them. You're also assuming that the owner of this server WILL get the same mod that you've used in the past. That shows you have little mod knowledge.
"Well as operator, I can obviously, with my operator powers, see that he/she is using X-ray." Ha-Durp. Good luck with that.
"Even if he is my friend, the server's safety is more important than letting my friend hack." That is very basic. At least you're trying to impress though.
"I will demote the player to moderator" I'm going to assume it won't be your job to do that. It will be the owner's. Simply by saying this you are giving the impression that you will be higher rank than any other player, which, once again, shows you are more likely to abuse powers, simply because you think you can. Unless told by the owner, you shouldn't demote others.
"What do you think is the right punishment for a greifer?"
Once again, not your call. The owner will tell you the punishment. For all you know, the server could allow Griefing. And by trying to put in your own punishment, you are really showing your ability to abuse power.
"The third time is a ban with no chance of getting unbanned." Perm-banning is a large permission. I wouldn't give that to a new admin.
I also really doubt you are good with websites other than templates. If I'm wrong, well, I still wouldn't take you on. I am an admin for CJfreedom (Which is awful these days because of the lack of good admins) And I can see bad things from a mile away. Anyway, I'm just bored and commenting. I do not want to apply for this server unless you can show me something that I like.

Lol, some of that made me chuckle. Also, I'm sorry you have any doubt in my abilities. We'll have to keep and touch and you can let me know what you think once the thing is fully operational.
Hello, I would be very interested in being staff on your server. I will definitely take it seriously and be active. Maybe you could add me on Skype and I can give you my application and talk about the server a bit?

Sure, sounds great, expect a PM from me pretty soon.
Ive used phpBB a little more and think its got a little bit more support. I also know that its possible to do exactly what I want with it as well. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Hello,
I would gladly be able to help you with running the server when it gets set up. I have been staff before on a server, and I could play for hours on end if needed
Hope to see a reply soon

Sounds great man, Ill PM you some time soon just be sure to check the forums.
Hi I would love to be an admin or head-admin on your server.
Some quick info.
IGN: piesta24
Age: 15
Experience: I have been admin on 3 servers, mod on 2, super-admin on 1, and head-mod on 1
Now for this big stuff!
Why do I want this position - I want this position because, simply, I love helping others. I also love Minecraft, and I think many of us will agree that playing Minecraft with friends is more enjoyable. That is precisely why I want to help out. Many people who play on a server feel the same way as I do, however other players (who don’t have respect for these types of players) feel the need to break every rule set down in place for them. That is where I step in. My goal is to make the server a better place by doing multiple things. Reducing rule-breakers, answering anyone who seeks help (staff or member), and ensuring a kind and enjoyable community. I will always try very hard to accomplish all of these goals, because it is what I love to do, and what I do best. After being staff on multiple servers before this one, I have concocted a fail-proof method (mostly) to handle all of the things I listed. To start off we have reducing rule breakers. The key is to find a balance between being too harsh (drives people away) and too soft (they don’t listen). When helping players, I give them detailed responses, unlike many staff members who get bored and decide that they are too important to help normal members of the server. With all of these things in mind, I think I would do a very good job with this server, and I think you could definitely use my help.
What will I do as this position - To sum it up, my goal as admin+ (or whatever rank you decide for me) would be the answer to this question; “How can I make players choose this server over all the other ones out there.” There are many key points that have to be addressed when it comes to that question. It is essential that we have a strong community, dedicated staff members, and we need to be professional. As admin+, I would dedicate myself into ensuring that all of those aspects of a strong server are being kept in mind. Now I’m going to go over how I would go about accomplishing all of those goals. First, developing a strong community. The essentials of having a strong community are making sure everyone likes everyone (or as close to that as possible). With widespread arguments and constant rule breaking, this simply is not possible. So to stop this I would strive to be as active as possible so I can break up those arguments, and deal with those rule breakers (warnings, kicks, mutes, temp-bans, and even bans if needed). The next part, dedicated staff members, is pretty self-explanatory. There is no way to have a successful server if the admins and mods and banning everyone for no reason. The same goes if the staff members rarely come on. If I were accepted, you would never have to worry about that because I would be on every second possible to help out the server. Now, in order to be professional, we simply have to look it. What I mean is that we need to be high ranked on the server list, dedicated members, and we also need a website. I have already explained how I will help with two of those (dedicated members and high rank) and for the last one, a website, I can help with that. I know how to design a forum and I will do it in a second if you wish me to.
How can I benefit you - I can benefit you guys by doing pretty much all of what I have already listed, and more. The most important thing for a developing server like this is that we need new members. Servers that don’t have any members, obviously, are not going to be successful. I will do my best to ensure that this does not happen here, by creating an environment that will make players want to stay at this server. There are lots of possible servers for players right now, and our main goal for the current time is to give them reason to choose us over all the others out there. I would accomplish this by doing all of the things I have already listed above.
Good day,
I would be quite glad to be part of the staff team when the server is up & running.
If you're wondering, my IGN is NeonMustaches and I do have a skype. I'm pretty mature, although I do have
a sense of humour. But if I must be serious, I will. I'm not really sure if it matters but
I'm from Canada so time difference may be slightly off.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers!

Awesome man, thanks for taking interest. Currently all of the admin slots I need are filled, but if someone drops out or we need more admins for any other reason, I'll let you know.
We could of course need mods and builders, if you'd be interested in that.
