Combining Major Server Problems Into One Thread

[JamesBondage77]

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.

Thanks for the info, I know its annoying to explain things to players sometimes, I appreciate your time.

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...

As an ex mod, this makes me sad.

The reason so much lock breaking occurs is either because the player that wants the lock broken doesnt want to wait, or the player that is getting their lock broken doesnt cooperate. This is to please the player quicker. I always check the contents of chests before I break them open (with a command, mods can not take things out of locked chests.) If it has value then it can wait for the player to log on and get the items, if it has stuff with no value, then it will probably be broken. The items from the chests do not go to the mod that breaks it, but the player that owned the property being rented etc.

PS Private signs do not work on iron doors anymore, idk why.

Hey ace, guess what. Sthu! You need to be more serious in your posts ace, every post you make is just spam and not helping anybody, the only thing they do is make you sound like a 10 year old.

I'd rather suggest, that the person that quit connects first, if they moved or such, maybe a friend that still plays here can tell the person to be %100 sure. Rather than that, if they don't; maybe Mods can leave them, instead of stealing them. And why give it to the crowd, when the player that's leaving can give it to a person that has there will? It's pretty stupid, that doesn't give a default that's in the event a chance of actually playing and collecting materials; isn't that the point of Minecraft? e.e

Its nice to see people discussing issues about the server, but, I think a new forum post should be made since this one is starting to shift to new reasons, and its on page 6 with a lot of the posts out of topic/ out of date. If a moderator could lock this post, and create a new one, that would be well appreciated.
