My background: I was moderator and Forum Administrator on the Minecraft Forums (e.g. responsible for the Server section of this forum back in 2012).
I've also worked at a Minecraft hosting company for 1.5 years after retiring from the forum. Later on I've ran a few Minecraft and ARMA 3 servers along with a few people.
I'd like to talk about the plans you have for the server and how I can apply my previous experience as best as possible.
Nothing in these facts suggest you're an adult, as a kid I might have liked some of your favourites, but not me as an adult. Therefore I'm going to assume you're anywhere between 13 and 18.
You have to pile through the garbage in order to find decent discussions, subreddits and content. Other sites don't really compare to Reddit, therefore Reddit is a necessary evil in my life.
From LightWarriorK: These are the Rules from the old forums. The new Rules will be very similar, but suited to this site, particularly with regard to the Warning and Ban schedule. Until they are ready, please obey their spirit in all you do here. Thanks!
Welcome to the Minecraft Forums! Enjoy yourself here, but please keep in mind these simple rules:
Rules
DO:
Be Polite - If you can't be respectful of other members, at least be courteous. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Use Search - It's your friend, and it's in the upper-right corner of the forum.
Use the Report Feature - If you see a rule violation, this lets the staff know to look at the thread/post and determine the best action.
Stay on Topic - Don't derail threads with your own conversation.
Think Before you Post - Sensible, well-thought-out, legible posts are easier to understand.
DON'T:
Spam - TL;DR, +/-1, one word responses, memes, imageposts, doubleposts, etc.
Post Redundant Threads - Be aware of other threads in the forum, and don't duplicate (see "Use Seach" above).
Bump Threads - Do not bump your own threads to get more replies or older threads that have dropped off unless there is significant new information to add. Necrothreadia is preventable disease: let the dead lie.
Post ban lists - This can lead to innocent people being banned from the servers.
Troll/Flame - See "Be Polite" above. Insulting and baiting will not be tolerated.
Create Multiple Accounts - If you have a good reason for having a clone account, contact a staff member first.
Advertise - You can have a link to your personal (non-commercial) site in your signature, but links promoting outside websites or merchandise will be removed.
NEVER:
Post Illegal Activity:
- Anything referring to Minecraft hacks;
- Any link or reference to third-party clients or game interfaces;
- Any material that is the work of another individual but is being represented as original. Permission must be obtained from the original creator, and due credit must be given, before including any element of that creator's work.
Abuse a Member's Personal Safety:
- Swearing at a member; while there is no rule against swearing here, use of it against another member is a different story;
- Any offensive, pornographic, or obscene material;
- Overt sexually loaded comments or content;
- Discrimination against the age, race, gender, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or sexual orientation of another member.
Spread Hate Speech:
- The use of slurs of any kind;
- Derogatory statements about social groups, including but not limited to age, race, gender, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or sexuality;
- Promoting or expressing support for hate groups and terrorist organizations;
- Posting messages deliberately to offend or upset members of a social group (For example, posting images of Muhammed in a thread full of Muslims)
PERMABANS:
Posting or linking to anything relating to the pirating, or copying, of any software game title, especially Minecraft.
Posting or linking to any content malicious to computer hardware or software, such as viruses.
Any content that violates another person's privacy.
Evading a Temporary Ban - If you're sent on a vacation for a bit, accept it and wait.
Excessive or repeated violations of any of the above infractions - Learn your lesson or else.
Warnings
1st Warning - Warning-only consequence.
2nd Warning - 3 Day Ban
3rd Warning - 1-week Ban
4th Warning - Warning in name only. If you get a fourth Warning, expect a Permaban
Reporting a post:
-If you see an infraction to the rules, report it. If you're not sure, report it anyway. There are no penalties if you're wrong
-No need to bother telling the offender you reported them, it doesn't help the staff in any way and can only lead to problems.
-Don't respond to flaming and trolls, much less flame them back. Ignore, report, move on
Disclaimer
Staff - The administrators and moderators are responsible for the smooth and efficient running of the site. The staff reserves the right to take whatever action is deemed appropriate in any given situation, regardless of whether there is a specific rule covering that situation or not. If there is a misunderstanding or dispute, then please bring the issue up politely with that staff member in private. In all matters, the decision of the administration is final.
