Okay now please listen, I didnt exactly know where to post this but the rules on here created by noobcrew im guessing, are in my oppinion, (and i know im not the only one who feels this way) soetimes more than bad. For instance, ive read ban appeals and mods are banning people for trying to bring their items with them to a new island, or if someone gets on your account and does it. Are you serious? I understand sometimes they may lie but really, most are on here to have fun. I know if mods were playing on an island theyd want to do that. And if im a donor and i get banned for some reason, yes it is an applical argument to have when making a ban appeal, you payed money MONEY. So thats just one small example but also some mods ive noticed can be very harsh and take it way to seriously, i am a mod on a server and i know that i never over react when someone is doing something wrong. So i understand what being a mod is like. I have noticed that some mods take it way to seriously and are way to harsh on people who are just playing the game and are on here to have fun. If i was noobcrew or an admin, i would reveiw staff and rules and maybe make a few changes. This is just a suggestion, so please no hating.

 

well you listen to em

 

Sorry to disagree and i definitely don't mean to argue. Instead I'll provide my perspective in the hope of broadening yours.
The mods here let stuff slide sometimes because they're understanding. They make a constant effort to get the details before they take action.
Donators who "paid" money should be so much more careful and respectful of the rules because they have invested real money and probably wouldn't want to lose it. The rules are the rules no matter who you are.
Donators don't PAY for anything they Donate. They are in turn rewarded for their donation.
It's been stated repeatedly that bringing your items to a new island would be unfair. Where's the challenge then? you could make infinite islands and just keep all the stuff.
Finally your account is yours. If someone else uses it and does something wrong. That is your fault.

 

You make good points hapilydamaged i agree with you, but donators i talk to consider it to be payed money, not donated money that is where my point is. But yes i do see what you're saying, but i dont get what you were saying on mods?

 

Heres my main point, people play on this server for fun everyone makes mistakes, we are responsable for those mistakes and sometimes there are things like rules that i just think are to harsh sometimes, like on here.

 

Donating on skyblock is to help support the server, and keep it running. Noobcrew decides to reward players who donate, because that brings in a lot more donors. If noobcrew just asked for donations, it would for one be considered begging, and also, it would bring in a lot less money. If less money is made, keeping the server at it's capacity would be pretty darn hard.

Donors call it "paying" because they are under the misconception that this is a shop, and they are buying items. That's why in most ban appeals, the reason they put forth as to why they should be unbanned is "Because I donated X amount of money".


Also, as you said, people have been banned for bringing items to new islands. This ruins the point of skyblock- which is to start on a limited supply of items and build an empire from scratch. If people wanted to keep their items, they would simply not type /newisland replace. The point of that command is to give you a chance to start anew and build your new empire from scratch, not to be abused in order to procure infinite lava buckets.


You also said that people have been banned for claiming that "someone else was on their account". What proof is there for that? On the internet, things that people say cannot be taken for granted because they are in the form of typed words. There is no way to tell if the person is lying or not.

 

Okay guys, i just put this on here to make a point, not stir up arguments. So to the last thing you said riyer, its called benifit of the doubt, your right, they may be lying but sometimes you have to give people the benifit of the doubt. I know about the island recreation bla bla bla, i know i know bad point whatever, but your reply is not good because if people were to make a new island and be able to keep all money, & if they are rich enough, could just buy them again, so really, its allmost the same. Bans are to long SOMEtimes, rules including bans shouls be looked at, and maybe a few others, thats all im saying.

 

Honestly, there are only a few people who i care about weather they agree or not, i know what my main idea and point were when i put this on here, thats all that matters. I respect hapilydamaged oppinion probly more than anyone on here can post. So you guys, im done talking on here msg if you want to talk more.

 

Yes, we are quite serious. Bring items from one island to a new island is cheating. The point of skyblock is to make "everything" from "nothing." Bringing your items along is cheating, and therefor an offense that would lead to a ban. For the record, depending on the severity of this offense, it is generally a temporary ban, usually for a week.

As for someone else getting on your account, this is a huge thing. We can't just trust members. We have absolutely no way of knowing whether or not someone else was on your account. The bottom line is that YOUR account is YOUR responsibility. No matter who is "behind the mask" when something happened, it is the "mask" that gets banned.

You did not pay money. You donated money. Donating money does not entitle you to anything other than the donor kits. You are donating to the server to help the server run, NOT as a "get out of jail free" card. Refer to the last line of the Terms and Conditions, found here. "Donators are not exempt from server rules. " That being said, if/when you get banned, feel free to say that you are a donor. We don't care, it won't effect our decisions. You can say it all you want.

Now that the moderation team has had its changes, I feel that the current staff is a great team. We all work together, and there doesn't seem to be any friction between us. I can't think of any "harsh" mods, we are all pretty understanding. Unless you are being rude and disrespectful to the server, we will do our best to work with you to get things solved.

All that being said, if you don't like the way we run things here, you don't have to stay. If you choose to leave, don't even think about asking for your donation back. They are non-refundable, as stated in the Terms and Conditions, again found here.

 

im sorry if i offended any mods it wasnt direct and i was talking about in generl, if thats how you guys run things understandable. I completely understand slg, your one of my fav mods a matter of fact. I love this server and thank you for taking your time to reply you have broadened my vision,

 

STICK IT TO EM MICHAEL!

 

100% agreement here.

Also, in regards to your comments about the staff, I am extremely fond of our team. Pretty much every other server I have ever seen has an unimpressive staff ... unprofessional, immature, and overall just dumb. Yet here, I have seen everyone being extremely willing to give their time and efforts to help as many members as we are able, if not pretty much all of them. Everyone is extremely friendly, and has a strong, noticeable sense of maturity. Not only that, but our chemistry seems to work extremely well most of the time, and everyone is rather intelligent. It's been a while since I've seen such a large congregation of mature and amicable people that I've been this glad to get to know.

 

Amen!

 

Seems everything I wanted to say was already said. So I'll just agree with it all.

 

but one thing i would like to say is no mods have solved the case of who banned me from .net or anything. many have tried to help and were very nice though

 

well then they weren't real "donators" to begin with and should gtfo. by giving money to the server you are donating not buying, if you are doing it for the perks alone you don't really deserve them to begin with and don't deserve to be called a "donor".

 

On a side note: I think that the strictest rule is that you're allowed to have a hacked client installed.

 

I haven't read the whole post but by 5 words I see that this is NOT true. Mods warn people about posting in ban appeals. ( unless the people hold vital info ) So don't offend Crew or whoever wrote these rules. They are fair and reasonable
Don't you agree?

 

Here is a little hint for them, donating means donating not paying

 

I completely agree with salamander. The rules are not harsh. If you could bring your stuff to new islands you would have
like 300 dirt and that makes everything WAY to easy. I think the rules are good. Mods always give warnings before they ban. Its your fault, not theirs. And another thing, when you buy donar you buy it to donate to the server to help make the server better. Donateing doesn't make it so you can't be banned. I kind of thought this was disrespectful to the mods. The rules are fair as they are and need no inproveing.
