MCP Alert - Guard Scandal, Server Reset, Staff Introductions and more!

[HeadlessCowboy]

Good Read; however, abusing perms is worse than what the person wanting the person to abuse their perms.  You see, the person with the perms should know it is against staff rules and is responsible for his or her account.  Being responsible for your account is one of the rules in the book.  If you need a refresher about it in game type /rules and go to Server Rules then number nine on the list.  Yes, I know this isn't hacking or something like it, but it contains part of hacking which is abusing.  Abusing is what Zs did.

I don't have anything against zs, but the rules are the rules.  I have learned the hard way a long time ago (I think 2011 or 2012) about abusing your account.  If you would like to know how I abused look in the below spoiler or just skip over it.

At one time in my Minecraft career, I was an admin on a small server.  What I did was prune the forums since I didn't know what pruning was (I know, I should have looked it up before doing it to the forums but I was young and dumb) to test it out.  Then when I saw all of the topics and posts gone I turned off the forum so people wouldn't be able to ask what happened, tell the owner of the server fixed it.  I got banned.  I asked for another chance and that i would help out with the server and the owner of the server agreed and i helped the owner make a map.  The server is now private but there is a form that you have to fill out to get into the server if they accept you.  The server only really topped about 30 players online at the same time but this was back in the bukkit days and even a bit before bukkit.

Also, you should have ads in your news (Like shops in plots) to monetize your articles.  People would read just to look at the good/great deals or at least know what people are selling without having to go everywhere.  If you don't think it is a good idea to have it in your articles, then maybe I should make an economic news for the server.  It is up to you though since this is your thread I have the time to look everywhere every day until my college work gets heavier.
