Well, Maybe since we are moving the new mall. Maybe there is final some room to elaborate on the rules ?

Not in depth detail, and I'm pretty sure not some rules also

It comes down more to interpretation of the rules. Making snow-golems around people could be considered harassment, which is already a rule. saying FUUUU is generally the same as saying the actual word, since what you have said puts the word you are trying to say in our head. I could give some more examples on that, but it'd obviously not look good on the forums :P

I don't know what you mean by the multi-accounts thing. Generally though, the goal of a ban is to ban a player, and not their "account". So if you got banned and used another account to gain access to kreatious, I can understand the banning for multi-accounts. If you got banned just for having 2 accounts, that's a little hypocritical.

I would suggest playing by the golden rule (treat others how you would want to be treated), and generally being a good person (no swearing, etc.).

The problem with saying the rules should be common sense... is that all servers have their own set of rules, generally clearly writ. For example... At Minecon they released a server with no rules except "Anything Goes" Where grief, spawns, hacks, everything is presumed to be allowed. Now say someone from that server, joins Kreatious. If there is no sufficiently detailed set of rules, they may assume same thing that "Anything Goes"

Sure the /rules say things like "Please be nice to everybody and don't use profanity" or "don't use mods that benefit you and not others" Well What constitutes as 'profanity' ? I for one swear on regular basis IRL, to all sorts of people. So I dont entirely consider certain words to be profane, at the same time. Some allowed words I feel little 8-12 yr olds shouldn't be hearing. Sure I've been on the server long enough so I have a vague idea, but newcomers? Not very "common sense" to them.

And the mods thing... I don't know how to use mods so I don't entirely know them. But there are ones people have been using like minimaps... That I think give advantage over others. Take two players running to say... Havendelle? one has minimap and sees the ravine ahead, the other doesn't and ends up jumping in it and dieing.
Then there's a mod that I guess shows the player wheres mobs spawn most, thus not only giving advantage over others guessing a good spot for a grinder. But also giving away locations of dungeons.

Both Seemingly giving advantage over others, but somehow still allowed.

A fun one I see at /rules is "There is no banned items" Yet duped items aren't allowed... kinda of contradicting don't ya think?

The signs about /pvp, Tells how to use it, but not that killing without it on, is not allowed.

"Please do not build inappropriate structures" Hm... You realize how many mob grinders have swastika's Built into them? How many towers unintentionally look like what they are not, Just look at spawn on the 3D Dynamic Map... Kinda reminds me of a character on Mars in the movie Total Recall

I propose the /rules be removed (unless someone actually wants to make a ton of signs) and just have the baiscs. With a tinyurl on a sign sending people to a typed out page perhaps on here or googledocs or something. With a detailed set of rules. That ALL the mods and chatmods and veterans (being as though I'm constantly answering questions in-game or trying to help people. As well as Snakejay, Sonic etc. and though not a vtn, Irish_ninja too!)

OR and just a somewhat temporary idea, copy the 1.7 world rules/info. And add to them to accommodate for the past MC Updates.
