Why don't we just Ignore the people who are annoying and not pay attention to them so they get bored and leave?
Like you.

Put some windex on it.

*Takes out his wrench*
Agreed


Badspot isn't going to ban people for innocent questions, such as ones about the 64x64 terrain rule.  It's part of the whole new user experience thing, if someone is new enough to have this issue, he wouldn't want to ban them and ruin their initial experience with Blockland.

Also,
Some of you may have noticed how Badspot got rid of certain events, such as onRespawn which was used for instantRespawn loops using fakeKillBrick, because too many people were abusing it.  He gets rid of these features not because he cares that it pisses people off per se, but because it ruins the game experience and can start to give the game a bad reputation.  You people need to realize this is a source of profit for Badspot, and not merely a game, and that when you torment newbs for innocent things, it can cause harm to his business.  Even if they 'deserve' it.  Keep in mind that this game has a lower age range, as well as a higher one, so you shouldn't go and make some little kid cry because you tormented him without thinking of any repercussions, or any unnecessary abuse you may have committed.
I'm not very tolerant of little kids, but just because one is annoying me on my server doesn't mean I'll torment him, it just means I'll kick/ban him.  The kick and ban features are there for a reason, and tormenting someone until they leave or until you're not entertained any longer is not a valid replacement to this system.
As for when a host/super admin/admin torments you: Just leave.  The host bought the game, and as long as they aren't doing anything like stealing keys, they can do pretty much what they want with it.  As for the admins and super admins, the host trusts them, so the same can apply.  There are abusive hosts, but there isn't much you can do about a kid with too much power.

Considering the type of game Blockland is and the certain features it has, the community is as expected.  That is, you have your average joes, your upstanding members, your dredges of society, and your total morons, to generalize a little.

Blockland is upstanding dredges a little.

i summerized it by removing a few words. less to read

How about A script, that if that person has been kicked too many times from different servers for a specific reason (i.e. spam, deleting, being handicapped) then they are automatically banned from your server.

eh?

No.
Not only would it not work with people who don't have the mod, but if someone was abusively kicked they would be unable to join other servers.
And who said the other admins' reasons are the same as yours?  Perhaps the person who was kicked was your friend?

Kicks don't have reasons you know, it won't say "Idiot12345 was kicked by Admin for spamming."
I think things would improve if newer members read more and noticed more, or if there was a "Common problems" sticky thread or something.

"Common problems" sticky thread or something.
This.
I say we start a help topic listing common problems newbies may encounter and how to fix them.

How to fix general irritation:

Rub your nose on a cheese grinder.
