MASSIVE QUOTE SECTION: GO!
I almost suggested [a whitelist]...but it'd make things a hell of a lot harder from the admin/mod perspective of things.
If theres a whitelist, it cant just be a shitty 'do you want to join y/n' one. If DDR makes a whitelist, He and the other mods that may or may not exist should know when something gets griefed, it's also going to particially be their fault for letting a griefer into the server.
Agreed. It would be difficult to make sure people aren't griefers
before letting them into the server. It's a catch-22 situation, really.
*mini Sakuya, mini Okuu and QB are now victims*
Okuu sprite was never completed - no griefing occurred there. Mini Sakuya, QB, and Mario were the only sprites to get hit this last time. The most damage was at Rukin's treehouse and the Yatagarasu shrine, nevermind the large holes in the landscape..
Changing the IP: sure, sounds great. Another possible solution could be to bump up all MotK members one rank- one above the default but one below moderator, a new usergroup you could make with Permissions or GroupManager or whatever plugin you're using for that- and disallow building permissions for default ranked players.
Sounds viable. This way, the MotK crew could act as watch dogs for the server. Wasn't the server provided for US in the first place?
i just went on like 20 minutes ago, and apparently all the signs were wiped in the communtiyhouse, its all blank... not sure if there is any other damage...
When DDR banned that griefer, he also "rolled back" the damaged caused by him. The signs returned, but the writing did not.
WorldGuard can:
disable/kick a player/ban a player/alert the entire server/alert only members of a certain rank
upon the
use/placement/tossing out/obtaining/left clicking/right clicking
of any item/block
In short, yep, WorldGuard can disallow players from placing TNT blocks and trying to use Flint & Steel, or kick them for attempting to!
That might work as well. Although, when I was last on, DDR completely disabled fire. The flint & steel is pretty much useless for now (sorry to those who like to burn pigs for food)
Aaaand, we're caught up.
It seems that now a default spawn room has been constructed. It has rooms and switches that would supposedly transport users to their respective worlds. Not sure if this will fix our problem, due to the fact that ANYONE can still use /warp to get back to the community house. Hell, I'm not sure if the switches are locked due to permissions or not. What would this mean for new players that we're not sure which world they want to play in? Is it just a jail until mods let them out?
... I believe fig_man_57 took the beds. I noticed that he had two when I killed him to get my stuff back. Adrian uses /home and /warp to travel between the two worlds.
Edit(s): fixing various mistakes..
*sigh* I really wish these roleplay people would just shoot their stupid video and leave already. Their presence has caused nothing but headache.
