I think Lars is giving the poor server a break while he discusses with our client what's up with all the mega-lag. For those who weren't on while he said it, Lars wants everyone to try another activity for tonight and do your crafting tomorrow when hopefully the server starts behaving properly. Happy mining!

It's a common question to say "Have you been banned?" and another to say "Looking for grief free server." If you read through the applications for different servers this is almost always part of why they want to join a new server. Sounds like a problem to me. With all that fear of griefing, mcban obviously isn't doing the job it needs to get done, done. It works very well on the other two major forums I am part of, for many years now (since jsp has been around for about 9 years or so). It works for them great. It doesn't even need admins to maintain a list. Just some mini-mods to update the ban-list thread which can be stickied. It's not as complicated as you're making it seem. It's a suggestion. I'm not demanding it happen. I'm more than aware the demands admins have on themselves for zero pay for days and weeks of work. So ya, I'm putting it out there. It works great for similar sized forums I'm on, thought it could be of use, has nothing to do with my gender.

I'd venture a guess from what you said as she's probably pissed at you because you're an ass when you think you're right, regardless of if you are or not. Compromise and being kinder with your stance will win you more wars (in relationships or the rest of your life) than getting all up in someone's face and MAKE them agree through force. Just because we don't agree doesn't mean you have to troll my thread or talk down to me because I'm a woman. I'm not your ex-wife or her friend, I'm not above you or under you, and I'm not stupid either. If you disagree, fine, you said your peace. Kindly stop repeating yourself and gtfo. If this suggestion isn't of any use, whatever. I don't need to be trolled for being a woman about it.

MCBan sounds far too harsh and it's outside of tekkit and this forum. I'm not saying they aren't giving the best service. I didn't say that anywhere. All I said was it was a suggestion I wanted to get out there for something in-house I thought was useful. I realize it's work, I used to run it on d2jsp with my husband, but it's worth having that sort of thing in-house instead of referring to another site doing their own system. So if your only objection is that it's too much work, that's not really an objection to me and shouldn't be for the admins as far as putting it on their to-do list if they like the idea. MC Ban is not on this forum and not controlled by this forum. If we're going to provide server links and applications, asking if we've been banned, there should be a way to check on this forum. Logical in my honest opinion. It might seem redundant to you, but really that sort of ban/not banned discussions should be made by the forum running the server threads involved.

Sorry for raging....Lars fixed me up I hate griefers!

If you are on our server, not the wrong place.

Thats why there was a warn system. And again it takes 3 warns before being blacklisted. This modpack has a strong server base. I think its up to the admins if they want to "bother" with it. Its a needed service and wouldn't be that hard to keep updated. The forum who uses this has a dedicated section for reports and you can't just say "oh he griefed, gone!" you have to screen shot evidence, chat logs, and anything else to prove your case. And have testimony if necessary. This is a bit of a job, but all one needs is a section for it, a few dedicated people monitoring it and closing threads once they are judged. I've seen this system on many other forums work great, this isn't hard if kept up and not out of bounds for a forum who provide server sections. It is needed and its up to the admins if they want to do it or promote trusted members to be mini-moderators for the sections. So if you're against it because "it'd be hard" then obviously I don't want to hear your input. Most good things are difficult, but that's not why we do them.

I've noticed alot of grief is created around the server scene for, well, griefing. Since this has become a major problem, I'd like to propose a system another website I use (d2jsp) and what they have in place for the betting section of their forum. Admins keep a running list of player usernames which have been warned for offenses against fellow players and a list of banned or blacklisted players (on the site they get 3 warns, each stripping forum rights until they are banned or enough time elapses the warns fall off). Basically the first is deal with at your own risk but their offense(s) were either singular or minor. The second are no longer allowed due to excessive misbehavior (though obviously they can still join servers, but again at the server's own risk after having seen them reported on the banned list). It might even be a good idea for excessive abusers to be stripped of forum rights as well, but that's secondary to the main goal I'd like to propose. Obviously only owners of servers may report gamers for griefing (to keep down spam and false accusations) and it'd keep alot of confusion out of choosing for whitelist servers. Takes the "hoping they've never been banned or will need to be banned" out of the equation. Please support this motion and let the admins of this forum know you'd like this put into place. I know I very much would and I'm not even a server admin. Let's get a forum warn/ban system going and documented in an easy to reference area shall we?!

Ugh, Someone went through and grieffed me as well. I'm extremely annoyed about this week's double griefing on my stuff. First with my quarry stuff and now with my entire factory AND MY QUARRIES AGAIN and half my power relays and some of my factory even. I mean quarrys are expensive, so are diamond sorting pipes and conductive gold pipes. And that's all the stuff I SAW missing logging in tonight. I'm about ready to just say forget it all. This is way way too much to handle if I go through all this work and effort and it just gets stolen and no one does anything about it. I even protected teh whole zone and I guess after the rollback it undid the protection because I don't know how else that could have happened. I don't expect to be on this server anymore due to this extreme griefing and constant server errors. I realize this is a game, but I come here to relax and have fun. This isn't fun. ~Lady StarFire

Is there a way for there to be a general discussion tab on the main forum section for Skin Submissions? I myself have problems finding the perfect skin and if we have our own dedicated section to that, perhaps we come up with our own community of skin makers/finders. ~Lady Star

IGN: Lady_StarFire Age: 25 Timezone: Eastern (USA) How long have you been playing tekkit: About a month now. How often will you be on the server: Between school and work. Would you like to join the teamspeak(optional): I am assuming this is similar to IRC and Skype? If so, yes that'd be fine once I install it.

Sniffle! No server! :(

:) Excellent. Now, I've never joined a server. What do I need to know to join?

Yay! lol ~Lady Star

No problem Minecraft name: Lady_StarFire Age: 25 Experience: I've played single-p for a few months now and got interested in minecraft from the yogscast and tekkit with duncan on youtube. Why you want to join: I'd very much like to make a name for myself and become more familiar with tekkit, as well as play with others in joint ventures. I'm more or less looking for a community to minecraft with mostly since my husband doesn't want to play with me and gaming alone is ... well .... lonely. I'm working on my Masters so I'm limited to when I'm home, but I'd still be relatively active. Good? ~Lady Star

Is this server still open? ~Lady StarFire
