Help for adminstrating.
BlockoBlocko:
hey I have an arctic survival rp server, so i need some good suggestions for administrating. The thing is that some people enjoy their time here, but some people say its boring. I disabled people from building, and they are always complaining that they can't build. I say to them that my server is not freebuild. They still complain and they say its boring. I made few tents for them to survive in, and some say its stupid. I actually lost one of my best friends on Blockland. I don't know how to make it fun and enjoyable for people. HELP ME AND SUGGEST ME GOOD ADDONS FOR MY RP!
Supreme Guy:
I'm not entirely understanding. Is this just on slate or have you built an elaborate landscape for people to play on? regardless, you should let players build in a roleplay to help them get into it. just because you aren't exclusively a freebuild doesn't mean you have to omit building completely.

It's not related to administrating that your clients are idiots.

Well first of all, this isn't really a suitable section for this topic. Help is meant for posting about problems with blockland, not advice on how to run your server. Anyways, as for the administration problem, just get a few admins to help you moderate while you're afk or even gone, if the server's dedicated.
As for the problem of players getting bored, this is complex issue. You can't simply host arctic survival RPs anymore now that slopes is gone. Disabling player building is only going to make things worse. Unless you've built an actual map with decent terrain, it's no wonder players are leaving and getting bored, with just a few tents slapped on an endless slate. You need a decent terrain map which is very large and has plenty of stuff for people to do. People like to contribute to the RP too, meaning they like to set up their own tents and such, which is where administrators come into play to watch for spam.
Hope this helps!

and, you can also add "boring" into the chat filter so you don't have to listen to people bitch all the time.
