Parliament | Suggestions / new plugin suggestion

I was thinking we could add quests to help new players develop and give them more to do other than just build a village. Could use rewards from quests to help expand villages depending on how it were set up. I'm not expert in any of this im just kinda throwing this out there, not sure if its even compatible with current plugins but i feel like the idea with villages could be cool.

Parliament | Suggestions / Ignoring non-player messages (tips, voting notifications, discord messages)

« on: 15 January 2022, 03:02:59 PM »

Hello,

Basically what the title says. Would it be possible to give players the ability to ignore things like discord, notifications when people vote, and in-game tips? It can get spammy sometimes when multiple people vote in a short number of time, tips seem to sometimes have longer than necessary messages, and I don't always have interest in seeing discord messages from people who aren't playing (I'm not sure if this is a problem for other players but I feel like we should have the option to turn it off). If not could we maybe reduce tip sizes (ayo) and make them less frequent? Sorry if theres already a thread for this but I have no clue how to navigate these forums.

I feel like something should happen if it was a clear overstep in staff power. Like can I get something in return or maybe a 6 hour mute for Octo the next time he comes on lol

So I guess I'm missing the rule I broke to get muted? I wasn't spamming or harassing. He explained it perfectly, like I said, abuse of power. As my mom once told me in the first grade octo, if someone tells you to jump off a cliff are you going to do it? Also I followed all your advice, I reported you and I posted this so

Not even five separate occasions! Look at the dates and it is literally 3 days in the past year that this has ever happened. So much for it being "like clockwork for the past years"

I'm just a supporting friend for JoelEmbiid. So since Octo has been insisting that my friend has been calling him "gay" for "years" I would love to see evidence that suggests this. From what I can tell, he said "Octo mad gay" on 5 separate days in the past year. This hardly seems like every single time we are on together (as he mentions it becomes clockwork to him in his argument). Octo insists "years, yes years", yet I see no proof, and he has nobody to support his accusations of JoelEmbiid calling him "mad gay" for so long. In addition to this, JoelEmbiid was 12 years old when the x-raying incident happened, and he had absolutely no idea what an appeal was, and that it could save himself from getting permanently banned in his future, so it seems a little unfair to hold that against him now (and for something as small as "Octo mad gay"). Octo repeatedly brought this up in my exchange as some sort of justification for his action. I would think, and dearly hope, that being a staff member would mean having the maturity to ignore trolls such as JoelEmbiid, or at least the maturity to respectfully explain that what my friend was doing has been offending, and truly bothering him. Yet not once did this happen. Just a couple of “stops” and a ban! Could you imagine what would happen if all staff members reacted to people who said things that could MAYBE be considered as harassment did what Octo did? The server would be dead.

An incident involving Cocto as it pertains to this case:

The BrutalFive pardon request for his ban:
(I will not explain the whole situation, but I read the appeal and I’m sure most staff have also)

This was when Octo gave no official warning before the ban, and once Brutal asked why he was getting banned, Octo replied with "cus ur bein a cock bro" (an intellectual, and insightful response from a staff member!). There seems to be a repeating pattern with Octo taking things personal and banning people for little reason and without warning.

Octo also says in his argument “you guys all take ‘having a record’ on a minecraft server far to seriously…” I find this quite problematic, as one of the main reasons Octo had decided to ban RealJoelEmbiid was because of his record from literally years ago, yes, YEARS.

Something doesn’t seem very fair here, and it seems like Octo hasn’t learned much from his past experiences in telling people when they are receiving warnings, and unjustly banning them.

P.S. I got muted in server chat by Octo for trying to explain all of this to him. Once again, there is a clear abuse of power here.

Some things I think are also worth mentioning;

Dallas had asked me politely to stop arguing with Octo so she could help someone with an issue they were having, and I literally replied with "yes" (and I legitimately planned to stop, because it was a respectable request). Octo then continues the argument by saying "don't worry I'm going to mute him all together" after all I had done was express my frustration with him banning JoelEmbiid. Obviously, I am going to defend myself from there as I don't want to get muted.

Later, after a little more back and forth, I then asked why I was getting muted, to which Octo replied:
"for not shutting up about shaz getting banned"

This hardly seems like a viable reason to ban someone, as once again it is supposed to be a FREE SPEECH server. You can check the logs, the funny thing is I'm telling the complete truth. It's a complete abuse of power, so since he told me "to go ahead and cry abuse of power" I most definitely will! How did you guys deal with corrupt staff abusing their powers going as far back as CJ and as recently as Livid? You revoked their privileges, and compensate those who were affected. I think Gerrit said it best in his reply, Octo may not be ready or mature enough to have staff. There was hardly anything in that back and fourth that would constitute a mute if the server is truly free speech. And there should be no question whatsoever if this should be wiped from my record.

Thank you,

Look at the logs bro, like I said in the original appeal, this happened today so its not hard at all. All I did was express my disagreement with my friend being banned. And as I said in my previous post, this seems like an abuse of power. Please change your "free speech" status if this stuff is not allowed because at that point you guys are false advertising the ideals of the server.

Username: albenji100

Recently, I expressed concerns with octogamer in villagecraft chat regarding a friend who had been perma banned for calling him gay 5 seperate days in the past YEAR. I said to him, I am just expressing concerns and you guys can feel free to ./ignore me. He then threatened to mute me to which I replied with "you can't, its a free speech server and I'm not harassing anybody" but here we are, muted in chat for what? I really feel like this is an abuse of power on octos part, and I would like to see myself unmuted because I truly believe I did very little wrong. You can check discord logs and see that I am literally not lying whatsoever. Don't advertise free speech if thats not what you guys are about.

Thank you,
Al Benji

Minecraft Username at the time of banning: Why_U_Boolin
Username now: albenji100

Punishment: Banned

Reason: Exploit

Reason for pardon: I haven't played on this server in over 3 years. The last time I joined village craft I introduced a couple of my friends to the server expecting a normal survival experience. Shortly after they decided to use x-ray in order to speed everything up and find diamonds. I literally didn't know about it originally, and when I found out I told them I wasn't gonna install it because it was a server I played on often, and literally for the previous 5 years of my life (under username bacon567). They got caught by the admins eventually, and they were all banned. I was also included in this ban, as I had been interacting with them and shared chests with them at the time. I know I should have told someone about it, but they were my real life friends at the time and honestly I just wanted to avoid conflict. 3 Years later hear I am no longer associated with those people even in the real world. I'm really just trying to find a normal survival server to play with my friends as I don't have a whole lot else to do right now. I recognize that I violated the server rules, but I'd like another chance if your willing to grant it.
