Server Etiquette

Clarification on expectations for players on the server

This page shows the general etiquette and expectations of players that are on the server. If you'd like to fit in and not have other players '/ignore' you, be server muted or removed from the whitelist it is strongly recommended to have a quick read of the following.

Avoid begging for resources or constantly expecting players to respond to your questions.

Most players have put quite a lot of effort to progress as far as they have, don't expect people to just give you stuff for free (they might offer resources if they choose to which you can also politely decline if you would rather get started on your own, this is fairly common).

You also should avoid flooding the chat with constant questions about how to play Minecraft or if people can help you with a project (or constantly bugging them with unwanted help). People are busy and a lot of the time they just want to chill, they are not obligated to teach you how to play the game. Some players will offer to help which is great, but if they don't please don't just keep asking.

If someone doesn't respond, it's probably because they are busy!

Google is free, and the already existing Minecraft Wiki (https://minecraft.wiki/) is a fantastic place to learn about various Minecraft game mechanics. I would strongly recommend using the Minecraft Wiki as well as the resources on this wiki to figure out how to play on the server.

Reiterating the 'Don't be a dick' rule

Calling people names, revealing unnecessary personal information(doxxing), harassing someone (or a group of people) in chat, etc. These are not okay.

Just because something is unclaimed or 'abandoned', doesn't give you the right to just take it.

Looting other players builds, even if they appear to be abandoned, is griefing. Griefing will get you banned.

Just because you can break blocks or loot doesn't mean you should!

Supporters aren't exempt from the rules

Fortunately I have not ran into this problem but being a Supporter of the server does not give you the freedom to break the rules or cause trouble with other players. Supporters are expected to follow the same rules and expectations as everyone else.

If you think this might be a problem for you, then I suggest not supporting the server.

Please don't spam commands

This is specifically for commands like '/tpa' ('/trade' is another example) where the receiving player will get a chat message or sound. Its annoying and not appreciated by the players on the server, one request is usually enough.

Relax on the inappropriate chat discussions/messages

Please refer to atleast one (1) of your brain cells before blurting out something obscene. Since the beginning of the server a lot of things have been said on the server, many of these things just shouldn't have been said. Some examples are;

• Discussions about ages, pretty unnecessary and while not usually problematic, its a good practice on the internet to avoid it.

• Generally inappropriate discussions. Minecraft is played by people of all ages, so use some common sense on what topics shouldn't be spoken about in the public game chat or Discord channels.

• Unnecessary personal information about yourself or others. It's probably best to avoid revealing personal information about yourself and other people usually don't appreciate it when you reveal personal information about them. I could go into specifics here about the 'definite no-no's and 'ehh probably fine's but it's probably better if you take the overly cautious approach.

Asking about ban appeals, or getting others to ask about your ban appeals

I understand currently there is no good way to see the progress of your ban appeal, this along with being able to see the progress of your whitelist application is being worked on. Until then trust that if you have submitted a ban appeal, it has been seen. Do not pressure other players to ask about your ban appeal and please do not start spam messaging people about it.

You got banned for doing something you shouldn't have, take it as a lesson for the future.

You are absolutely welcome to /ignore players

You are well within your right to use '/ignore' on players and I will also give you some advice to get the most effective use out of it.

You may (probably will) need to use '/ignore' on multiple worlds of the server, this is annoying I know but I haven't found a good solution to this yet. Another thing you are welcome to do is block them on Discord, players are encouraged to change their server nickname to their in-game username so it should be easy to figure out who is who. It also means that it should make it easier for you to find the player you are wanting to block.

There is one issue with this, they can still send messages in #game-chat which you will be able to see, this is another example of something that I haven't figured out a good solution for yet.
