Danda stated no, we cannot force Mayors to remove your perms and Admins will not either. He finds it asinine they would leave you on regions but there is nothing in the rules for or against it. Sorry

It would be awesome to see the half-return of town theft being legalized. Though rather than the "Purpose" factor, make it so that people who attempt to abuse the current rules are left burned. For instance: if porcelain here requested to be removed, formally or forcefully was removed from their member list yet was left in the regions, he should be exempt from theft or abuse rules on that region. (Still leaving it illegal for town members to spontaneously steal or join with the intent to steal) Mind you, griefing and the like should still be a bannable offense.

That's just my opinion though, I feel like if someone is deliberately using a rule as a shield to get someone banned, they should be the ones banned.

I agree with you on this factor. I think it is asinine to leave someone on your regions for the purpose of trying to trap them.

I don't agree that he should be exempt from the rules but knowing the situation I'd be lenient about minor breakages etc as long as he doesn't take advantage of that fact.

Can we get a ruling on this please?

Other players joining party chats is getting out of hand. While TS is the main way to PvP, in game communications should not be ignored. This is how many people communicate, and this is gaining an unfair advantage.

Hi, Question regarding MacroMod rules,

MacroMod has the feature to script commands together, but due to how this would give MacroMod users a significant advantage, am I correct in the assumption that this scripting is illegal on the server?

As far as I know yes, scripts and anything that is Autonomous is illegal.

Now for my own question: Are player heads considered Griefable on the same level as Diamond and Emerald?
Also, is there a list of Griefable blocks?

There is a list of blocks on the Wiki that are allowed to be stolen when placed.

hc.to/rules

Player heads are considered items that cannot be griefed, unless it was recently changed.

The following actions are permitted:

Trading is allowed anywhere on the map, including Spawn.

Looting chests.

You may loot a chest anywhere.

To clarify, you may steal from noble plots.

Looting a player's corpse.

Destroying rare blocks outside of towns and Spawn.

Rare blocks consist of diamond, emerald, cracked-stone brick and mossy stonebricks.

Pvp is legal everywhere except inside some parts of Spawn and areas marked as no-pvp.

Chasing someone who is PVP tagged as they run into said areas is not covered by this rule.

Using Blink to travel through small holes

Use of any functions of any Hero skills is allowed.

If any unwanted effects of a skill is observed, the skill will be removed or recoded. Otherwise, it is legal.

Any and all un-intended effects of skills a player finds must be reported in Exploit Reporting

Only blocks that can be griefed are listed above. If it is not there, do not touch them.

Using This font on the forums. Allowed for a text wall or only in moderation?

Since its a new map and things are changing wanna make sure yes/no for sure. If someone builds a home in a hill and a dirt block gets broken and allowed a person to fall in (but replaces the block right away), That legal or no? I see that Regioned ares this is illegial, but non regioned, aka the wilds.

As long as any blocks the person removes is replaced, it is legal.

With personal regions now available to all, I am curious how those work within the hierarchy of structures.

Question 1: I know that personal regions have an area of "ungriefability" associated with it, but I do not know just how far that "do not build or grief" distance is. Towns have a 100 block distance... what is a personal region's safe zone?

Question 2: If a someone has a personal region at a certain location, can a town place their town region over the personal region (or near the personal region) and effectively evict that person from that space? In short, does a town trump a personal region with regard to placement, even if the personal region was there first?

Why aren't you allowed to ask questions in Help chat?

Bans and mutes are not to be discussed in-game. Help chat is for legitimate questions about our server/things that come up in your play experience that you are confused about.

But my question was basically asking if you could or could not ask why u were muted in H chat... The answer i got was a G mute....

Edit: A question about asking a question

As far as I know, town regions trump everything, and older towns will trump newer towns when expanding.

For an area on "ungriefability", I have never heard of that.

In theory this shouldn't occur as a player shouldn't be building within 100 blocks of a town anyway.
But in the case of a personal residence being absorbed by a town the players that live there must be given the option to be grandfathered into the town or given time to move.

Ooh its me

not sure if asked or not, but is TnT actually allowed in sanctuary?... cbf looking for it

BlackOhso · Jul 16, 2014

Why can't we voice our opinion, make criticisms, etc. without getting banned, muted, or ignored because the person was proven wrong? seems like a rule, getting punished for speaking up/out about something. Along with if the topic is on the forums, it gets deleted or locked instantly if someone doesn't agree with it although it may be true.

any unwritten rules you're not sure about? just ask!
