3 more for the wall!

one more down the drain!

After having given the permission to elders to temp-ban others for a while with the only problem that some bans have been too short, I now changed the permissions and elders have the right now to perma-ban people.

More bite the dust. People please remember that I do not see immediately who is xraying. But I can check the logfiles from time to time and then I know. And you will get banned. So do not do it or get out of here.

Interesting correlation between a nickname and being a cheater here with LegtizSkillz …. OMG.

I confronted him on site, he admitted it, I banned him. Anyhow it was obvious enough to ban him w/o him admitting it. It seems we need to ban one user each month because of this?

Manlymaster2 was found to be x-raying for mining since the security settings on the server alerted his cheating. Good riddance!

22:27:00 [INFO] uncovery -> viperx97: using Xray,. right?
22:27:21 [INFO] viperx97 -> uncovery: no
22:27:25 [INFO] viperx97 -> uncovery: why?

22:27:51 [INFO] viperx97 -> uncovery: I am only using the coords thing you get in top left
22:28:06 [INFO] viperx97 -> uncovery: which is part of the xray client mod but i haven’t been cheating with it
22:28:56 [INFO] uncovery -> viperx97: you mined 5 different diamond locations in 3 minutes
22:29:15 [INFO] viperx97 -> uncovery: I was going in a straight line and they were all there :/
22:29:34 [INFO] uncovery -> viperx97: interestingly they are not in a straight line
22:29:51 [INFO] viperx97 -> uncovery: Okay.. fine I am going to stop lying.. Yes I used it because I have spent the last half an hour..
22:30:04 [INFO] viperx97 -> uncovery: trying to find some.. so igot a bit fed uo
22:30:06 [INFO] viperx97 -> uncovery: up*
22:30:22 [INFO] viperx97 -> uncovery: and then it got a bit out of hand :/
22:30:24 [INFO] uncovery -> viperx97: thanks for admitting it

I just banned james1726354 for using an X-Ray cheat. I have the following logfile entries of diamonds being mined. I went “on-site” and saw clearly targeted tunneling to the locations. There were other incidents in the logfile similar to this one. If you want to know how this works, please read the plugin description.

Read the rules guys!

I just banned BinkyDude and AmortusR. After they griefed my office yesterday and stole stuff out of it, I tried to not overreact and did not do anything right away. I slept over it and also read the logs. The conclusion is that they griefed intentionally and with the goal of removing items from my office. So it’s a ban.

Additional note for understanding: They exploited a minecraft bug to get a dragon egg out of my office. After it succeeded once, they went on to get all 4. If someone had tried something once to prove a concept, told me about it and left it at that, it would have been a different story. But to go on for another 3 times is enough to make me ban even donators and architects from the server.

… for being a help vampire, for asking the quiz-questions in game, for being stupid (according to his own judgement) and for being generally, simply, very, very annoying.

Soulsand45 was just banned. He stole a massive amount of XP from players killing the ender dragon and afterwards received a warning from my side that could not be clearer.

He then again camped on an ender dragon fight and was told several times by an elder to leave the scene but failed to do so. Therefore the ban now.

I just banned this user for being abusive, annoying and excessively cursing, despite having received a strong warning from my side and several elders on different occasions in the meantime. He also took the term “help vampire” to another dimension.

If you wander what happens next, please read the ban rules.

Caught him placing fires and lava in someone else’s lot:

For reference from the rules:

Do not cheat to get achievements or to mine blocks. This includes client-side scripts, mods, transparency texture packs or any other way that gives you an advantage over the standard and intended game play. I know its hardly possible to check on most of the things, so claiming that you are using such is already worth being banned.

See here. Please remember that there is a rule to keep private fights off the server.

[Update] I hear now that he also griefed after he snapped. I can reverse some of what he did if I know where it happened. Please post here the coordinates and I will try and go there and verserse what he did. Please make sure you only tell me if the griefing was severe.[/update]

I just banned the user kainoa7272 for griefing in the darklands. He placed spalings within a settlements in the darklands excessively and unreasonably. But I could have let that go. However he also griefed a glasswall that enclosed a lava lake.

Since it is obvious now, please know: I have installed the bigbrother plugin that records EVERYTHING you do. If there is ANY griefing of noticable size or frequency, you will be tracked, and banned, right away, without warning, your lot reset and given away.

And for those, who dont know the page yet, please read:

I got several emails yesterday about racist comments in game. I went through the logfiles and read the conversation. In the end, I banned lawl0r since he obviously tried to tick people off by insulting them. Again, please read this page for more info about bans.

Also: If you have someone behaving poorly in chat, please

• tell them once to stop it, then use the /ignore command. telling them 10 times to stop will not help, neither does repeating “you will get banned!”
• don’t join the discussion no matter how much you feel attacked

Also, please keep topics that are not related to this server in the offtopic channel.

Xama45 was banned for using a flymod.

This is not allowed regarding the rules:

Do not cheat to get achievements or to mine blocks. This includes client-side scripts, mods, transparency texture packs or any other way that gives you an advantage over the standard and intended game play.

I made this even more clear now with the following update to the FAQ:

I have this client mod “x” that I want to install. Is that OK?
No. The only client side mods that are allowed are normal texture packs and a minimap that shows you your immediate surroundings. Texture packs that show you things that the normal texture does not show, are not allowed. All other modifications are not allowed either. No flying, speeding, no-clip (walking through walls), whatever it is – is not allowed.
