enjoy. you're a nice face to have around, see you later I hope.

nice, you should collect an FAQ as you go along and post a step-by-step thread. would love if this picks up steam, been thinking about mpm lately

Lol that's weird, if it sent through it's not supposed to show that. Will fix that lmao

Hey, I deleted your favorite message. Instead, you’re going to start seeing some lovely little asterisks. Don’t want them? Type this. This will only affect your account, others will still see asterisks in your messages if they haven’t toggled it. You, however, won’t see them on any message! The filter has been updated to be far less intrusive on roleplay and moderator privileges adjusted so they can't accidentally enable serverwide forced message filtering…lol. Happy roleplay!

How do you feel lotc culture has changed in the five years you've been here? And a more boring question but more to your experience…what should we be doing (or not doing) to make friendships and connecting diverse communities easy and natural?

A lot of people wouldn't put in the love and time into this server that you do, if they were paid $1k for it. It's just not the kind of passion that can come from hamfisted self-indulgence. Correct me if I misunderstood, but you're saying the reason for your motivation is ultimately rooted in meaningful connections you share in the community—especially the kind where you and your friends can nerd over initiatives/concepts and get excited together over doing something worthwhile (else why would you still be here). What in your mind should we be doing to encourage organic friendship and bonding on this server? Or at least, what can we move out of the way? By the way…I wanted to add I loved your triad of map related thoughts (map concept, region post, and discussion on map storylines), thanks for leaving nuggets like those around.

Whether you are staff or not—thank you for your time. Staff Conduct Some basics & a warm welcome | Nov 22nd, 2022 Hi, welcome to staff. Thank you for putting others first. I hope these few words will help you. Success rests in the richness and fullness of the connections you make. Make no mistake—you are not here to push papers, fill forms, or cap quotas. Structures, roles, and policies don't exist. Only people exist—and so does what they do. Volunteer each minute responsibly. Guard your free moments, work on things you find meaningful, and reject those you don’t. Leave every player better than when you found them. Remember your roots in this community; you were and will always be part of it. Be there for people who need you; highlight the best in players, and let them bring out the best in you. Embrace new & young players (and their mistakes too)…you were there once. As part of the staff remember the most important fact: you aren’t the fun or the maker of the fun; rather, you facilitate a space for fun to manifest. The fun that is already there—the fun that each player has every day. So consider this: that the best staff experience is invisible. It's when people don't need you…but want you there. It bears repeating, 1) put your full heart in what you do and reject busywork, 2) make friends and stay grounded and 3) stay ambitious and in good health—IRL comes first. That’s all—welcome again & have fun! Cheers, Max & the Administration What We Stand For Our Mission Statement Our Community Guidelines Our Roleplay Standards Our Safety Policy Ethics Please exercise caution when it comes to private matters. Confidentiality is your responsibility; especially when it comes to sensitive discussions and people's personal information. Please respect player privacy—if you don’t have a reason to be watching their RP then allow them their space. Same applies to reading player logs: if you aren’t investigating on an official matter, it should be off-limits. Please honor player effort. Your power is for you to guide and serve your community. Feel free to decorate the interior of your home with LC or warp to your friend—but don’t skip great efforts or attain an unfair advantage. For example, avoid warping others, don’t tp for purposes of villainy or PvP, or use WorldEdit or other powers to the benefit of yourself or another party.

Summer, I don't think he's your target here. You and Alex want the same thing. I understand from this that you feel hurt that you haven't been consulted on the Safety policy…but we really are happy to integrate your feedback, and do read your comments. I just want to thank you for sharing your voice and want to let you know that we hear you. Safety is a challenging space to work with not because there is a lack of motivation—but because it is grey and delicate. Despite that, I don't believe it is impossible—especially given how much progress we've made in the last few years. It gives me hope that we're not that far away from a bulletproof policy. @itdontmattathank you for taking feedback seriously and for making a commitment to improving the policy. The reality is that we take safety exceptionally seriously in this community, perhaps more than any community I've seen on Minecraft. That means we've got a very high bar to meet; this can't be the last revision. +1 on the thread, thanks for caring frill.

@itdontmattaThanks for driving this initiative, and to everyone who helped pitch in feedback & shape this up. Transparency with this policy has been a long time coming.

Wow, lovely work :) The babushka made me laugh, that's great

I certainly laughed reading your post, nice style. Thanks for sharing your experience—and for bludgeoning your way through the barriers that we put to prevent new people from joining…how rude of you to stick through it. You'll have to put up with us now by the way, good luck !! P.S. it's very encouraging to see you have a pleasant experience with our old fart server, we just turned 11 this year :)
