Luanti - Season I Megathread ⛏

@eric

I think these accounts are created with ulterior motives and… We want to be aware of threats so we can implement a defense.

Agreed. I think sometimes a person might read “no hacking” to be a challenge or an invite.

@eric

I think it is important for us to clearly communicate this to new players, but enforcement would be better achieved through mods rather than rules

Specifics about PVP can be addressed later when players show a direct interest in it as an organized element of game play.

@eric

I agree, but it would be somewhat hypocritical for me to enforce this as I advertise my own websites on the server and vice versa. I also wouldn’t mind if someone else were to share self-hosted content in an appropriate way, so I think it is more a matter of weather or not this person is also an active member of the community.

You pay the bills so you call the shots. If I notice this behaviour I’ll simply bring it to your attention for you to decide what, if anything, should be done.

I can appreciate your feelings on not wanting to impose oppressive rules.
I would say having rules and (strictly) enforcing them are two separate things. There should always be room for discretion.

I am not interested in being a digital cop, looking for infractions. I want to just play the game too!
But some rules are good for helping Mods to know what’s actionable and what’s not.

For your consideration, a condensed revision:

1. Respect All Players

   Treat everyone with respect. No bullying, harassment, or inappropriate behavior. If you wouldn’t say it in person, don’t say it here.

2. No Griefing

   Don’t destroy other players’ builds, steal from their chests, or interfere with their creations. Respect other people’s hard work.

3. No Spamming

   Don’t spam chat with repeated messages, excessive use of caps, or unnecessary commands. It can be annoying to others.

4. No Offensive Language

   Keep the chat civil. Any form of discrimination, racism, sexism, and the like will not be tolerated.

5. Respect the Environment

   Don’t over-harvest resources like wood or ores. Replant trees, don’t leave floating trees or ruins. Let’s keep the world looking nice!

6. Use Common Sense

   If it seems like it might be a problem, it probably is. If you’re unsure whether something is allowed, ask an admin or mod.

7. Respect Staff and Server Owners

   Staff are here to help you and ensure the server runs smoothly. If you have an issue, take it to them calmly. Respect their decisions.

8. Don’t Use Alternate Accounts to Avoid Punishments

   If you’ve been banned or punished, don’t create alternate accounts to bypass it. Appeal the decision civilly if you feel it was unfair.

9. Have Fun!

   This is a game! We want everyone to have a fun, enjoyable experience. Be creative, be kind, and build some awesome things!

The last was more of a suggestion, really.
