    The server is not unprotected.
    As with using the internet, you need to ensure your online safety by being smart; don't click random people's links, use 2fa when ever you can, make strong passwords and don't give out your personal info. You, yourself, must be protected.

    The community members are the same people who play the server essentially. People on the server and in the community are all older, younger or the same age.
    There are always people who are older than you pretty much everywhere. If you are around the wrong older people then you will find them intimidating. If you are around the right people, they will make you feel safe.
    Being around older people can teach you a lot and help you understand the world more.
    So find the right people, and please for your own benefit, don't make threads like these. People are very critical of people who write them.

    when i say the server is unprotected, i mean cyber bullying, harrasment, griefing, scamming, etc, and i am not aware of my actions most of the time in the server.

    If you're not aware of your own actions, that's a different thing.
    I personally started playing Skyblock when I was 8, considerably younger than you currently are. If I can tell you I haven't been scarred for life by playing, it's very unlikely you will be too.

    You cannot protect the server 100% against these as a lot of these are to do with players themselves.

    - harassment is punishable, requires proof
    - griefing is preventable (don't trust people you don't know)
    - scamming is preventable (never give your items first, get a mod to monitor the trade, use trade shops)
    - Cyber bullying is tougher to deal with if its personal, but if it happens on the server, it is punishable.
    Yet many kids still play.

    If you don't want to face these things now, its fine, no one needs to put themselves in a bad position. But the only things you have said that relate only to the server (scamming/griefing) are both preventable and the community issues are bullying and harassment. You are safer playing the server than you are speaking on discord.
