I copy + Pasted pupdude's post, and added
my responses in red:Btw I only made about 300k off enderpearls had most of my cash before I even had my farm built so saying this all helps just because i was the current top person on balance. If you had noticed rainy your self and a few others were skyrocketing from almost no work and we did not take your cash away for using it. Personally I would take it all away including my 300k and you can take other 300k if you want just to be sure I have many methods of making cash in ways any of you could. I just play so much more so I have alot more.
Second if your going to start this can you state the logic behind each.
You might be abusing your powers to create spawners so you don't have to go find a dungeon or something. (You may not have this power, or may not be abusing it, this is just theoretical)
I'll try my hardest...
1. Ako: how did removing enderpearls crash the economy? If it had been left we could of had supper inflation and the people that could use a end farm would either have unlimited resources or we have to make a cobblestone block cost 1k in the market.
It starts with just the enderpearls, but soon people won't be able to sell Gunpowder, Bones, Arrows, Rotten Flesh, String, Cactus, etc. We prolly won't even be able to sell dirt or cobble!
My Response: So I'm abusive because of what I might do? Me and CJ made the joint-decision to remove them because it was a hugely problematic inflation of the server's economy. We did it for the good of the server, so fuck off. We'll put them back up for sale once everyone calms down, at a different price. And to the potential of me removing "Gunpowder, Bones, Arrows, Rotten Flesh, String, Cactus... dirt and cobble", you are just insane. I know you are making a point, but it is completely baseless, and IT IS SO COMPLETELY NOT ABUSE.2. CJ: I had to much money? If we had left the sell sign you all be passing me very shortly because I don't care about cash I just have enough to build what I want then I will spend a few days getting mats to sell then go sell in bulk. Also what powers was I using to keep myself on top? I only think I did was use my own cash and pay jan and dark each a few 100k to keep them ahead of rainy for a while just to see his response.
You do have too much money. No way we can pass you when your making shitloads of money.
(See first quote)
Ouch, that was a little mean with the rainy part.
3. Bl4ck: Assuming you just threw him on the list so your forgetting sound_mantra and kyromine
Muted everyone, even the innocents who were quiet
And cursed me because They Like Being Douches is an option on the polls
4. Air: please expain what you mean by stick of his ass. If your annoyed about him giving himself a ton of power in the god plugin you should realize we test things to make sure that at high levels it does not cause errors or crash the server (take a look at mctop) or back when air had something over 50milion if i remember correctly. We test the extremes and if you wonder what we are doing you can ask but don't your first comment "WTF ADMIN ABUSE HE GAVE HIMSELF 1000000000 POWER NO FAIR, I HATE ADMINS WHO ABUSE THEIR POWER LIKE YOU" which I did see last night (not from you pup but someone else goes along with this)
You haven't noticed Air's Ass-Stick? Have you been living under a rock? XD
It's not about the testing, it's when he abuses his powers outside of testing, like flying around and making me jealous and things like that. I know it's minor, but it annoys me, and I wish he would do it somewhere else. Flying for transport is alright with me, so is building with it, but he just flies overhead because he wants to and it gets annoying
My response: I do agree that admins should not be flying around people for no reason, and from the outset of this server I wanted to minimize the in-your-face "HAHA I CAN FLY AND YOU CAN't" feeling that people get from it. I'll remind the staff.5. Digdug: Fell free to your opinion on that one. Might be mean at times but not a douche.
That's kind of an understatement... <.<
6. where are the rest of the super mods and moderators on the list?
Wasn't angry at them at the time.
-------
Addendum: This thread pisses me off, really big time, because the staff here are not "authority figures" as the thread title suggests. We do not tell you what to do, we do not give a fuck about being police. We are not police. We are here to help you. "CJ has too much money", fuck that - CJ doesn't have enough money. The fucking disrespect in this thread is infuriating.
CJ has worked hard on this server for months to get that much money, and fucking even advised me to remove the pearl exploit from the shop. He has completely set up our new Showcase plugin, expanded the /warp help room, designed a shitload of complex mechanisms for the upcoming VillageCraft Railway system, and a bunch more. So when you come here, and make this thread bashing the staff on this server, I honestly mean this:
Fuck you.
We work fucking hard at this video game FOR YOU. We don't have to, but we do. We are just human beings who come to Minecraft to have a good time, and when we do things for other people to have a good time, and then they call us abusive for a few mistakes, or even for things that they speculate that we might do, it REALLY pisses me off.
I've put hundreds and hundreds of hours into this server for the players to have a kickass place to come play, and so has the rest of the staff. I don't get a god damn salary for my efforts, and fuck me, sometimes we (the staff) just want to play on this server we've created as regular players who don't get harassed for abuse.
Asshole, you have free speech on this server and on this forum (which most servers don't offer), but you have really pissed me off.
Lets put it behind us and play VillageCraft! Call out real abuse and harassment - I take it seriously. Insulting the staff for things like removing ender pearls from the shop - I apparently need to take that seriously too. Berating a staff member in private messages, making them want to leave the server for a while? - Lay off. Now.
