(And yes, we did die dozens of times typing, don't rub it in.)
P.S: I'm not certain this is the right forum section for this topic, i was advised to put it in this section.

Just don't respawn?
Or, wait, better yet, go on IRC.

There were 3 people in the discussion, and dead chat was enabled, so we couldnt hear what the others were saying.

I used to trust my admins but then one day I left my server up overnight and went AFK. I woke up in the morning with absurd amounts of spam by the admins and my build was gone. Now I have the final say on bans. However about 2% of my bans are permanent. I usually ban for a day or a week, permanent banning I use as a last resort for repeat offenders.

I think this is more of a general discussion topic.

cough cough kicking everyone from blockoworld server with me :3

You should set Oligarchy up there, Respected Non-Admins and Admins rule.

It's a sort of mixture.
You get banned for whining, being stupid.
I also sometimes have admins.
Votekick is also enabled.

 Sorry loop, had to do spoil your fun there. Also, please try to keep this on topic.

Votekick, reports, and admins.

 That would be option 4, i believe.

 That is why you never trust your admins. Or wait, no, thats not the right motivational speach. That is why you have an exclusive admin list, with the report mod.

Banning people for whining and stupidity are contradictory. The way to deal with whiners is usually A: To stop being high-and-mighty and explain to the person, or just to fix the problem. Or B: /Mute

FASDF.

I don't want just random things here, ok? I want to keep this more on topic. Despite it being drama.

Funny, all my bans are permanent lol.


Dictatorship because no one in my server but me knows what they're talking about.

If you're annoying everyone else and not responding to what I say, I'll ban. Otherwise people can pretty much do what they want - I don't run any of the "admin only minigames" mods or make lists and lists of threatening rules. Bricks do not lag so I'll leave any spam unless it's in the way of others or you're spawning way too many things like vehicles and zombies.

I chose "Beurocracy", however, in the end I have the final say and my admins can go forget themselves.

I'll ban you if I want to, and my bans are almost always permanent.
