Rule #5
BuildingAllowed:- Anyone can build anywhere in the Outlands, and in Villages that they own.
- Anyone can also build in Villages they are a member of, so long as it is okay with the Village owners.as a reply to akos message, these were not village rules that were broken they were server rules
Hi Tina, I just want to clarify that building in a village that you are a member of is within the rules of the server. There are instances where building can be against the rules, and building can even be griefing, but in this instance we have members of a village building in that village. Furthermore there were no known village rules that prevented this action. Even if it was in secret, the implications of members building something without express and specific approval of a village owner being considered against server rules are vast. We would have to punish or even ban hundreds of players, possibly thousands over the years. It's an interpretation of the rules that barely holds any water. It would be impossible to enforce. I certainly disagree with the interpretation.
I'm sorry if you don't like the idea of the underground build, but I see no reason to think that it was malicious, and I can't find any way to consider it against server rules, especially with no village rules to back it up.
As far as anyone is concerned, they were members of a village, and built in it. You added them as members, and they built. Arguing that rules imply that the underground build was against server rules is overbroad.
Removing it might be another question, and it's my understanding it has been restored to Lilac Lake at this time.
-Using World Edit to remove the catacombs after they were kicked off from the village. At this point Cyphur and Naomi had no right to modify the village without Tina's consent.
Air, it's my understanding that Naomi was a member of the village when this occurred. I just wanted to correct that.
Lastly, we are deliberating about how to conclude this grievance, and will inform you of our decision as soon as we can.
