Appeal accepted.

Come on man don't let me down this time this is my third chance I'm giving you. 

Thank you for posting this, Anna. I appreciate all the work that you do on the team, as well as the others who crafted this PSA. 
 

The journey is long and difficult, but our community will only continue to grow and become a friendlier environment for all.

Appeal denied.

You claim to want to stay away from OOC drama and influence, yet you continue to be actively involved in Celianor/Talarnor leadership. Furthermore, as soon as you were banned, you proceeded to revenge report anyone you could. These are the two reasons I have decided to deny your appeal.

Well its almost been a month... anything happen as a result of this thread?

Not yet, admittedly. We haven't had an admin meeting in a hot minute to discuss the results of this thread, mostly due to time conflicts and a couple admins coming down with an illness. We hope to have an admin meeting next week/weekend.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I see nothing wrong w using swear words to express oneself unless you’re insulting someone. Like, sure, if someone told you to go **** yourself; by all means go and mute them. But, otherwise there’s nothing wrong w using swear words to express yourself like, “man I really ******* love lotc” be forreal. 

 

Before anyone brings up “oh but 13 year olds shouldn’t see that!! There are kids on the server!!” They probably swear more than I do on a daily basis because it’s “rebellious”. They’re old enough to know that the internet is gonna show them words that aren’t “socially acceptable” to use.

The filter we require is only for hate speech and sexual language. If you want to swear by all means, I don't get offended. Just don't be prejudiced or sexual in nature.

What if the server owner was not aware of these words? I am sure most of us don't sit on discord all day, and big servers have so much chats. What happens then? 

 

It's case-by-case, I know people get around filters. But if you have it enabled and provide proof of such like so:

That should work enough to show you did everything in your power to moderate the community. If you just have it off and turn it on last second, we'll know

i dont own a discord but what happens if they do not follow these guidelines, it's not like you can enforce discord

If a player is caught to be saying naughty words from this point onwards in an official discord, both the discord server owner & the player in question will be held accountable.

edit: There are obviously exceptions if a server owner has done everything in their power to prevent this. Sometimes filters can be bypassed, and we understand that.

Lorenz would smile and nod, glad to receive an invitation from his friends.

Denied.

Accepted. 
 

Please come to Moderation or myself if you have a concern with another player’s conduct in the future. Please do not pursue vigilantism as that only makes matters worse for both us and the community. 
 

With that being said, welcome back!

I know of someone you banned without telling them the reason. They messaged you for days before you replied. You tried to strong arm a certain response out of them that they obviously weren't going to give and would not listen to a word they had to say. 

 

On top of such, how long did it take for Nor'asaths mines to work? I know quite a lot of time went by and I heard that they kept reaching out to you just for nothing to happen. 

 

I hope if you reply you can do such without any passive agressiveness that you seem to be famous for. 

genuinely sorry about the mines ive been adapting to a new city + job and sometimes mineman shit starts to feel like work

Lastly, the most recent moderation feedback post. It has felt dismissive, and to be so disillusioned that we celebrate the fact that a small minority of people are content the state of moderation and not focusing on the large statistics that the majority are unhappy, unsatisfied and wish to see change is disappointing.

There has been an outcry for what feels like months now, people who don't feel comfortable going to moderation anymore, and those who don't want to log on because of how different the server is at the moment. 

I'm just gonna jump in here real quick. Respectfully, I'm not celebrating the fact that only 17% of the poll-answers are in approval of the moderation team. I don't understand how it is dismissive. I am actively trying to make changes in my leadership philosophy as I solicit feedback from my team & the playerbase as a whole. If there is an outcry, I haven't seen or heard it up until last night when I posted the poll. 

I realize that my tendency to be passive aggressive and point out hypocrisies on the forums can make people feel like I'm unapproachable. If people feel that the moderation team or server rules are going in a direction that is unhealthy for the longevity of our server — please reach out to me. Recently, other admins have been sending me some feedback that people have sent them, and it's very difficult for me to understand it without context or having a discussion with the player who is concerned.

I'm free for the next couple of days and I'll be out of town Friday-Sunday. If anyone wants to VC and provide me with constructive feedback feel free to reach out to me on discord. 

Appeal accepted. Not going to make you go through appealing a second time. You'll be automatically unbanned on September 30. 

I don't care what you do with your husband IRL. Just don't bring it onto the server and expose other adults & minors to that.

it’s not twitter anymore lil bro 

I asked Benleft to open a thread to have a discussion about the aforementioned report. Please post your thoughts and I will be talking to admins at our next meeting regarding stuff that people bring up. 

Though, any potential changes will not be retroactive, so I will not be reversing my verdict on the report.

H-CRP and M-CRP (honor/mechanical combat roleplay) would have served better and gotten you memed on less for mature RP namespace collision. Now, with this change you can get memed on for Minecraft RP namespace collision, which at least carries with it less baggage.

I think it's weird people are flaming Spoopy for something a.) he didn't have control over and b.) something that really doesn't affect anything.

in this case it should get some clarification, no one knows what a fatal drop would be … it’s not obtrusive to count how far you fell to determine damage

It says at the top 1 block = 1 meter. You're not going to walk away from a 5 meter fall with no injury. If someone tries to, call a mod.

PvP / MRP - Mods shouldn't have been editing posts to say MRP instead of the former. I've spoken to them. Also, the plugin that changes your text in-game has been removed. Fairly certain these were done jokingly. I realize it's not appropriate and I've asked them to not do that.

In regards to the name change, I think it's more beneficial to recognize mechanical combat (pvp) as an avenue in which RP can be facilitated, which is why I accepted the change "MRP" from another admin.
