Combining Major Server Problems Into One Thread

[mattchuu]

I'm sorry you feel that way Boss, I can understand that Zerg has a lot to do. But it should be quite obvious that if all these people are upset these problems are not minor.

I am currently stuck in the nether due to a major bug with the regen nether. i cannot find my portal because when i used /home, it sent me to where my home WOULD BE, but instead inside the nether (which was inside of netherrack) i have no idea how to get out and i will soon run out of supplies. is there anything i can do?

You can try using dynamic map, and find somebody else in the Nether, and ask for some help! Also, if you just venture out, you can usually find someone Else's portal, and their usually public. That's how I got out of the Nether when I forgot to bring obsidian.

Or get a tp out. I'm sure a mod would be happy to tp you out.

breaking locks and iron doors..

This seemed an appropriate thread to post this, instead of starting a new one.

I will start with iron doors - I have done/built/experimented with many things in this server so far, the only thing I have come across personally (today) was iron doors being a pain. I set up a simple redstone-pressure plate for a double iron door. Instead of opening both doors at once, it opens one, and closes the other after a second delay. Also - [private] signs over iron doors do nothing, anyone can walk in. (At least with a pressure plate in place)

The other issue I had, was all the lock breaking Ive seen since I joined. I understand, from a players point of view, that destroying locks to get at and destroy hacked/duped/banned items from players chests - to get them out of the system. What I don't get (and maybe I am wrong, please tell me if I am) is why mods and their friends are allowed to go to places of people banned or they *think* stopped playing, and destroy their locks so they can get first dibs on their items.

This is a survival server, where even zerg himself (supposedly) cant spawn items. To me that says, "Everyone on survival needs to earn their own stuff" Not, "Everyone needs to earn their own stuff, unless your a mod/admin, then you can break into anyones chests and steal the items they took months to collect, all for your greedy selves.."

Its not my server, so I dont know the rules as far as that goes. Maybe mods are allowed that as a privilege? When I asked I was basically told to stfu and leave it alone, that I had no place asking about it...

that's new. It wasn't like that when I was a moderator..

James, you're wrong there. The grief alert system, at least it used too.. Spawns/ed things in. That being one if the reasons why I quit.

There.. Hasn't had a moderator like that since Merirox was a mod.. WAY back in the day; like 6 months ago. which mods, and are they new or not?

[SonicFF7]

I'm aware of what James is talking about.
About 2 or 3 days ago, Ric and Homer broke open all of Telemna's locks, and hosted an event to get all his items. They assumed Telemna quit forever, and that's why they did it. Telemna logs on, and starts wondering where all his items went.... And he starts saying the Mods on this server suck, I suggest leaving, and crap like that. It took an hour, but Zerg was able to roll back his chests, and now has a command to rollback chests to a specif date.
Now, that was wrong to do, but there's some other instances where locks are broken.
Sometimes, people have lots in a city, and the owner asks them to leave, gives them 3 days to get their stuff out, and they completely ignore it. It's been weeks, so the owner asked me to break open the locks, and I did so, and there were a lot of locks to be broken.
Another incident I had yesterday, was about 4 peopel left the server, and dedicated their stuff to someone. They said I'll NEVER come back, so the guy asked me to break the locks. Yeah, there was like 80 chests in that area. I've been breaking all the locks for the most part, and I know it spams chat, sorry 'bout that, but it needs to be done.
Aquad kept asking me"Sonic what're doing?" "Sonic why are you breaking locks?" After asking 5 times, it gets rather annoying rather fast. I just told him to stfu, it does't concern you. It was only meant as a joke really, never meant it, and he was just supposed to see it as a sign of "Hey, I'm doing Mod stuff, but it's none of your business" type of thing.

A simple way to fix this solution is to just make THEM break their chests(and other items such as houses) and give the items to who they choose, and if they have not done so, the area gets rolled back. Simple as that.
