Skyblock's code of conduct states that players must use common sense when playing the server and many banning moderators have referenced this when the bannable offence wasn't listed specifically in the rules.

There is a sign at warp info in which Skyblock makes the statement "Skyblock doesn't condone gambling."
Common sense would imply that we shouldn't do anything that is not condoned by Skyblock and if we do we are violating the code of conduct.

So I ask a direct question to Noobcrew, does Skyblock allow gambling?

 

yes. thats why legendary keys are a thing 8D

 

Yes

 

Thanks MrEPro , but I’ll await the official word of Crew because what is done contradicts what is said.

 

Hope you like waiting

 

I’m sure he will answer when he can. It’s a pretty simple yes/no answer. And I’m sure it’s been considered.

 

That sign is genuinely the most contradicting thing I have ever seen... even if it does say do it at your own risk.

 

Yes ~Sky~ that is the contradiction I speak of and seek clarification on from Noobcrew


So one one line they claim that gambling is unacceptable, unforgivable and harmful. And on the next they say go and do it.

 

likely because the author of the sign didn't know what condone meant.

 

So is this more on a technicality, even though we know why the redstone has been put the way it is? I think this was informative, but I am curious on the stance of crate keys that you buy from /buy, like the epic and legendary ones? Is that not also gambling? I'm just asking because I know others would also be bringing this up too

 

Yes you do

 

I don’t believe it’s a flaw in the redstone mechanics, it simply made possible by the fact that droppers randomise the slot the they drop from. The practice of gambling is so openly done and advertised so prolifically and as Skyblock allows it and doesn’t punish it, it is clear that Skyblock does indeed condone it. Saying that you don’t makes no sense I’m afraid.
There is no need to inhibit the redstone mechanics further to prevent it and that seems to be the only reason you’ve given for allowing it to continue, you just need to stop allowing it, warn players who do it and ban players that continue to do it just as you do with every Skyblock rule. Flying machines and kill machines, are just redstone mechanics and they are not condoned.
Same goes for inappropriate builds.

I’m not going to push the issue, not here at least, because the issue isn’t just here, it’s on many many Minecraft servers. But Skyblock has thrown the common sense rule out the window on this one as the actions or inactions don’t match the words. But Skyblock aren’t alone in that.

Regarding the webstore, just because that’s been brought up, that isn’t compliant with Tebex’s AUP.
The sale of crate keys clearly violates point 1.6 of the AUP. But that too is not restricted to Skyblock so I’m taking that up with Tebex because that is on them because they don’t condone it but then clearly they do.
I’ll note that question that Teeler asked about crate keys was about them also being considered gambling. You replied to that to say that they don’t give a p2w advantage but that wasn’t the question they asked.

And I know Microsoft/Mogang are a bigger beast but they are no better by not restricting gambling in their EULA. Their policies claim to make Minecraft as safe as possible and clearly they aren’t doing that.

 

…???

As someone who has casinos I'm all for gambling, but no need to lie about it not being gambling.
