Server Rules Suggestion

As I’ve been playing the Main EC server, I know there is rules and all, but I think the punishments are a bit too strict on a few. For one, I am seeing a lot of people getting banned for Hunger Games glitching now, first it was just a warning and jail time, now it’s a perm in-game tag, and IP? Hmm, what else gets perm in-game tag and IP banned,….. hackers do; I don’t think HG glitching and hacking should be in the same boat.  Instead of Banning people for taking useless items, ones that don’t stand a chance against diamond gear, a temp ban would be better, and if it is repeated make it a longer temp ban.

Another one is respect, yes, we all hate disrespectful players, but instead of perm ban for repeated offenses, just do forever muted. They can play the game, but never talk to another in chat ever again.

Assistants that grief towns, everyone ‘really’ hates these, instead of perm ban, how about putting a ‘griefer’ tag similar to the lurer tag, but they can’t join a town for a long period of time, or never be able to.

People who xray, the punishment is good as it is, but I think temp ban would be better; first offense 24 hour ban with inventory wipe is good, but for the 2nd it should be a week temp ban, with main chests wiped, then 3rd should be credits wiped, and main chests wiped, with a 2 week temp ban, then 4th and so on would increase it in weeks, 1 week to 2, 2 to 3 etc.

People who ask to be OP or headmod, then they get perm banned. I think, a temp ban would be better, or muted, since it is just chat, not like they hacked the server and became headmod.

People who scam, not sure if they can get perm banned, but if they do, instead of doing that, first offense is a credits wipe( if the player doesn’t have a lot of credits, so they aren’t affected by the credit wipe, temp 24 hour in-game tag, and IP ban) and have a black tag called,” scammer”

For the tags like lurer that makes the whole username black, I find it hard to read sometimes, making the tag dark red, or red would be more visible.

The new recent glitch/exploit for copying and pasting enchantments to stacked gear, yes we know it is really bad, but a main chests and inventory wipe with a 2 day temp ban would be better, then 2nd offense credit, main and inventory wipe, and a 1 week temp ban, then increase more after more offenses, but not perm ban. Also, instead of banning the anvil from the game, why can’t holding shift and buying from scs be gone. Don’t know how to do that? just use the buying feature like /warp shop, holding shift and buying doesn’t work over there. If donors complain that it will spam their chat, how about let them know when they log in, or when they are playing, their stands are empty. Only suggesting this because no one can repair their tools, or gear, they have to re-enchant it with new gear.

For the HG glitchers, instead of perm banning first offense, let’s try the HG suggestion from the top of the thread; also fix the HG glitch, don’t know? Why don’t you look at the mob arena, and use the login feature in there and put it into HG. There is a reason why there isn’t any mob arena glitchers that spawn in with god gear, try doing something like that, and to make it a bit more fun, there should be some random chests out there instead of the middle, so everyone doesn’t have to rush into the middle.

I am only making this thread because all I see on these forums is ban appeals, for stuff that isn’t ‘that’ big of a deal, some stuff is important and needs a ban appeal, but other things shouldn’t go that far. One day, I saw over 15 players get perm in-game tag, and IP, that’s crazy…. it doesn’t help the server at all. If everyone is just ban happy, then the server is just recycling players, taking out the old players that play a lot, and put in new players that barely play at all, or picking off the players until the server is not fun, or not a lot of players left.

If there is too much players do to the fact a lot of players like this server, try adding more RAM to the server to reduce lagg and add more players, and if this is possible, advertise that donating makes the server better, which will encourage more players to donate and maybe adding more games to keep their interest, even have a special shop for each game that gives you points for playing each game. You’ll have to make a minimum player count for some games, so players won’t exploit it, but it keeps it more interesting.

It’s just doing a perm ban for things and/or actions that isn’t hacking, shouldn’t result in perm ban. A guardian or headmod doing a perm ban is like an execution, they just kill them off the server forever. It’s too high of a punishment, that should only be used in last resort, not a first offense tool.
