Alright, theres been an excess of complaints lately on the grief-to-kill rules, so Im revamping them. Heres a rundown:
1. Griefing is now defined as the malicious destruction or damaging of a structure with only the intent to destroy or damage.This means that breaking through walls is now ALLOWED to get a kill or explore, so long as the offending player FIXES the damage.
2. Preventing a player from fixing damage will grant the offending a pardon. Thats only fair. If you feel you must kill them,do so, but know that if theyre trying to fix your structure and you willingly and purposefully keep them from doing so,we will not count it against them.
3. This ruling is to encourage pvp, craftiness, and stealth, not to discourage building. In 1.7 we had some of the mostgorgeous and creative structures weve seen -- including cities, monuments, and devices -- all with the original grief to killrules. Were going back to that.
4. Im sorry about all the drama disallowing grief to kill has caused. I never should have changed the rule in the first place.
Ok, now to address the problem you guys have with PurgeMe. You seem to think he is above the law, and to be frank, I canunderstand that you guys feel that way. Want the truth? Hes been the biggest pain in the ass to try to find something hesactually broken the rules with. He rides that line so finely that its caused a huge hassle for the admins, and weve beenfrantically TRYING to find a legit reason to ban him. Teleports? Fucker stocks up on ender pearls. Xray? Weve found NOTHING.The ONLY thing hes really done so far that might warrant a ban is grief to kill, but, as the rule is being changed as of now,no ban will be given. We dont ban people for being assholes. (Except for Pieman50. But he threatened to hack the server, and was a child.)
The last thing Id like to say is that I apologize for not being around as much. Between classes, work, and social obligations,Im having a hard time finding periods where I can actually log on. Im making an honest effort here, and Im still goingto keep maintaining the server for you guys, even if I cant be online 24-7.
Much love. G4 out.
