The Mod Vault project is based on the old mod vault of net and the only mod vault warp on the old org. These vaults provided mods with the tools to refund people who lost their items, needed spawners picked up and even just to store unlegit items. Vault Owner: Krissy Co- Owner: Wilbos_World Right now it is accessible by everyone. You are all welcomed to check them out. Use /visit ModVault The vault is run on donations and legit items. All donors from this point on who contribute items will be listed in this thread. I also wish to create a donation board on both islands to acknowledge the support we get. The most needed item in our vault is Mob Spawners, so if you have any you would like to donate them it would be amazing. (both servers). Of course all donations to the vault is greatly appreciated by all staff who use the vault. If you have any suggestions please leave them below. I also welcome you to msg me or wilbo on the forums if you need any refunds and I will review your case and tell you what we can offer. A huge thank-you to everyone that has donated so far Donor List Croghs - 6 Spawners [Net]
I'm really wondering how it can be that the admins do not provide to their staff the material necessary to their job, hence spawn the needed stuff in creative to replenish the vault. It's astonishing that you mods must rely on the “normal folks” to do that. Then again, maybe I lack a crucial information that biases my judgement.
I think you lack info. We used to have a mod vault and it was removed when logblock was removed. This was because with no way of telling which mod took what a corrupt staff could clean out the vault and no one would know. It never returned. Island protection came round and it became a persons responsibility if they were griefed, and silk touch spawners meant refund spawners were more or less not needed. There should be less need for refunds. However we found that mods were giving out their own items a lot to refund, out of the goodness of their heart to please players. So this is one reason the vault started. And it is better to circulate items than to spawn in new items. Un-legit items is an issue in this "economy". Its not wise to create more.
You can donate at any time, just give the items to mods such as Lemonade, Wilbos_World fungamer333 They will gladly accept them and place them in the vault.
I really like the idea though I still liked the refund threads better. Will solid proof be needed to refund?
OK thank you for this Background info. Mainly the last part is a truly decisive argument. I'd gladly help, but I'm poor as a church mouse. My net worth don't even suffice for one spawner However I'm not looking for spawners anyway.
So, if it isn't possible to log transactions anymore, thus preventing Cyp or Crew from filling the vault with Creative mode, what's to stop a mod from doing it with the donated items? Simplest solution I can see is to give each mod their own chest in the vault. Filled with a specific number of items equal to their rank in some way. Then, Cyp and Crew can keep track of requests to refill. Mods who request too often aren't using it properly, or abusing it. And they can't blame anyone else, as their names are the only ones on there (and Cyp/Crew) so it's not like anyone can poach from another chest. This saves Mods from having to refund from their own supply, and prevents a lack of an item being in the mod vault because of a lack of donations.
We can log them now. I already said above it was better to have legit items enter the economy (redistribution) rather than add more in. We can easily keep this running with donations. The vault has been up since last year, this is the first time I have made a public thread. It is not the job of Cyp or Crew to give us rations because we know what the procedure is. We as staff want to give people things back when procedure says we shouldn't.
