Administration abuse

[Kilarin]

Griefing : for me, this act shoud be tolerated.

If you like destroying what other people build, please play on a different server than one that emphasizes they don't want griefing. I'm sure there are servers that emphasize player conflict where attacking other players strongholds is part of the game. But many servers emphasize building and not fighting. When you go onto those servers and destroy peoples constructions, you are just being a jerk. Some 8 year old kid puts hours of work into building something they are very proud of, then you come along and smash it because they didn't cover it adequately with protection blocks. What is there in that to make you feel big? And it's not really that much different when an adult puts hours and hours of work into a construction and the griefers spend 5 minutes tearing down the spot they missed protecting.
You want to play on an anarchy server, go play there, thats fine. But don't deliberately jump into a construction server just to get a thrill out of destroying please.

Dating : where is the crime ?

Actually, since the admin's can't know the actual ages of those participating on the servers, this really CAN be a crime. But it really comes down to the particular servers rules. If the server rules say "No chatting song lyrics", well, it's their server, so cooperate or play somewhere else.

I'm not certain what happened to you on the the Xanadu server, but I've been playing on there for some time now, and I haven't seen the Admin's do ANYTHING I thought was abusive while I was paying attention. There certainly have been times when I wished there was an admin on to kick off someone who was making the place unpleasant. The Xanadu admins have invited me to play, for free, in their house, and I'm grateful for the time, work, and money they put into it.

I like to play in a place where the chat isn't full of swearing or sexting. (And really, how desperate do you have to be to be using Minetest as a sexting/dating client? There have GOT to be better tools!) You prefer something different. And that's fine, but go play on servers like that then, don't try and get some "higher authority" to change the server that I'm having fun in please.

1. If you read better*, I don't get some "higher authority" at all to impose my views. I just expressed my personal opinions and some questioning as a standard member on a forum, place of debate.

2. Don't attack me and misinterpreting my words please. I never said that I like grief and I don't come online for grief (mainly for visit rather) where it's not tolerated. I just think that some survival/hardcore servers might not sanctionnate the griefing to raise the game's difficulty. I don't think having similar rules on all servers is a good thing. Diversity is a measure of wealth.


* especially at the end of my post : "Note that I can be wrong".

EDIT : misquote above. Nevermind this invalid answer.

if "player" likes being a griefer there are a few server that allow griefing.

But some Admin's abuse power either because they are stupid, power hungry or both.

That was clumsy of me. My apologies to both you and KLK. I have corrected the original.

Then we are in agreement. I think there should be anarchy servers, and I could have fun on them, but I wouldn't try to build anything beautiful there.

Exactly that HAS been asked in this thread. But not by you. I mixed up multiple different posters. I shouldn't post late at night when I'm tired without taking a LOT more care. You have my apologies.

You have my apologies.

No problem ;) And indeed we are in agreement.
