Server up yes or no

The website changed hosts so all of the information on the last thread was lost


I will summarize


should CG put up a minecraft server?

[Old Crow]

Yes. Start small like you said and go from there as it gets more popular. Last couple servers have been too big (last one 70!!)

we would have like 10 slots and upgrade as we see necessary.

No. kids will hoard for adminship. If they get denied, they just grief alot. Or when they get adminship, they're just going to abuse it.

Everyone is going to abuse it...

[Cortez (Mr. T. FOO!)]

Finnie don't be so rediculous, we have a very large amount of cg admins and I'm sure quite a few will want transfers or admin on minecraft aswell as their main server.

Minecraft +1 game on all that fancy stuff.

[Finniespin]

We did this alot of times, over and over... But hey, if you want to enjoy it. Go ahead. But don't look at me when some drama on the minecraft server happens again with admins abusing and trustworthy CG (admins) griefing.

[Old Crow]

We need a GROUNDED head admin to run the server, as well as some concrete rules ie like TTT. Grief once-1 day ban, twice- week, ban 3 times perma stuff like that. I never saw any concrete rules for the other servers especially sly's, which literally said you get grieved its your fault, when then causes people to just go around grieving and then it starts a flame war and never ends good.

[TowerSheep]

When there are no rules against greifing it is expect that people will fuck with things they shouldn't.

[Just Put The Change In]

All you need is admins who won't abuse their power, good rules, actual control of the server, and the right plugins.

Okay my post was deleted but here's the main bit of it:

The admins need to be mature enough not to do what they did to Kwuartz. (i.e. Team up and abuse the shit out of the server to piss Kwuartz off.  These were most of the vet admins too >.>)

The players need to be mature enough not to grief each other, obviously we can't control the random people who join, (unless we whitelist but that doesn't bring in new players.) but if CG members start griefing each other then we have a problem.

Basically I think that if CG players/admin can't behave on MC then we shouldn't keep the server up.  We've had a lot of MC servers, all had various issues, but one thing I've noticed is that there's far more rule breaking/admin abuse on MC then any other server.

We should put a server up, but if following rules is too much for people to handle then take it down.

I will be setting up the server and will be somewhat sitting on it until a head admin can take over fully (hopefully less than 1 month).  I do not tolerate admin abuse on any level in CG.  Any fucketries in the server will have consequences in mainstream CG.  As for admins besides Community Leaders and Head Admins having admin on the server only 5 admins wil be picked for admin on the minecraft server.  Considering it is me picking out the admins for now, if you abuse admin expect a very angry vent meeting with me.

Approved server is going live


ETA is still unknown

also we may have a meeting on what to put on the server

[Pillz]

CG forum members or admins only and it'd be cool. If any random idiot who joins CG can play, I don't want to share a world with them. I'm racist, sorry.

[Blackllama]

Allow me to quote my post on the other thread.  You seem to have missed it.

Pillz if what you're implying is a whitelist then I think no.

Whitelists are a general pain in the ass for both the people approving them and the people applying.  They also pretty much stop any chances of CG bringing in players with the server.  Besides if we have admins why do we need a whitelist?

Whitelists only stop CG from expanding and remove possible revenue.  The only way we could get strangers to actually come and apply for a whitelist is if we run around advertising it's fantasticness.

Minecraft isn't the place for finding new players. The last server had quite a handful of random people playing, and they took the liberty of removing all the blocks around my house area. Never found out who did it but having cunts like that around completely deters me from playing. If it isn't all CG people I love and trust (lol) you won't see me playing anything but singleplayer. Plus Sly's server was laggy and would randomly fuck my shit up, so I didn't like that either.
