Proof that RtB breaks the mod rules

People don't use commands that often.

but they're in there, so people not using them alot does not justify that they exist.

In cops and robbers people jail the criminals as part of the game so that they can't keep stealing money. Have you ever heard of a game called dodge-ball where you get people "out" by hitting them with a ball? It's the same exact concept. When a criminal kills a cop, then one jailed criminal is allowed to rejoin the game. The weapon that the cops use to jail criminals with is the light-saber, which is used like a night-stick. That's why it's in the light-saber file. Having the ability to jail people in C&R isn't confined to admins, so it doesn't even apply to the rule at all to begin with.

Oh, and yes, we have a jailing system for admins. Doesn't seem like anyone ever uses it though. I think it's nice to have a jail. It's an intermediate step that can be used before kicking someone. I've not heard of any admin using the imprison function excessively in all my days of playing RTB.
Here's the rule you're referring to: "4. Free from Excessive "Punishment" - A mod cannot contain any excessive administrative punishment functions such as muting, blinding, or immobilizing. Power corrupts, and there is no need to give admins even more power. I cannot stop you from doing this on your own server, but don't post it on the forum."
Excessive is a subjective term, so we'll begin with that. Having the ability to confine a player to a designated area isn't necessarily excessive. It can be thought of as teleporting another player to a certain brick. It's up to the admin as to whether they want to build walls around the brick, or just have the brick open in the air. It would be the same as teleporting a player to the admin, then having the admin leave that area, except that the player can't kill himself for 5 minutes.
Would that be called excessive? I wouldn't think so, and I suspect the majority of users wouldn't call that excessive. It's up to Badspot whether it is excessive, and he hasn't said anything yet after however many bitch-fests you guys have felt like starting. The only thing I would call excessive around this thread is Infinity's misdirected thirst for revenge against the users of Blockland that don't want to use a mod created by a bunch of power-hungry freaks who can't stand seeing people having a good time with a different mod than their own.
Sorry if none of this makes sense, I'm pretty drunk right now.

Or that he has no common sense.

Nice essay Mo. Quite good for someone who has had 8 standard drinks.
