Hello TinyTinaJoon,
Thank you for taking the time to file this grievance report with us, and for following up on it. We have looked at the case, your complaint, and deliberated quite a bit over what to do. We have reached our conclusion. VC has long held that players own their villages, and Staff should not breach that fundamental feature of the server unless specifically permitted by a village owner. Cyphur's enabling of TNT and use of TNT without permission of the village owner was a breach of that fundamental feature and an abuse of Staff-Only powers.
The underground build has been restored to Lilac Lake, and furthermore we formed a committee and have reached a decision regarding Cyphur's TNT usage without consent in the town.
The following actions shall be be taken as a conclusion to this grievance:
1) This incident be placed on Cyphur's record in the Staff Action Registry as "Abuse of Staff-Only Powers; using TNT in a TNT-off zone, editing a village as a non-member without permission".
2) Cyphur, or the VC staff as a whole, should formally apologize to the owners of the village, even if apologies have already occurred.
3) Publicly or in a Staff-Only chat, Cyphur should acknowledge the results of this committee, that he misused his Staff-Only powers as a non-member of the village, and that he will avoid engaging in this kind of conduct in the future.
4) Cyphur be temporarily banned from VillageCraft for 5 days.
Thank you again for bringing this up to us, Tina, and I hope you enjoy your time on VC from here on out.
