What the heck happened to the community?!

RIP the community - It died a long and painful death.

So very true. And unfortunately for me, I arrived at this community just before it got bad so I did not get to experience too much of the bright side of it...

I have a feeling a slight revival will come from the survival server... or it'll make the community worse...
But I don't think the people we're all complaining about will have the patience for the survival server.

I couldn't agree more. If you see someone breaking the rules, Report them. They will get what they disserve.

Thanks, it means alot, I plan on it.

On topic, another problem is that I feel like new players are
A.Being influenced by bad seeds.
B. Are being turned away by bad seeds.

Several minutes ago, I was in a lobby with a first time player. He mentioned it being his first time playing, and was immediatly bombarded by people telling him what to vote or to skip, and not helping him. He asked several times how to join a game, but was answered by people saying "HeHE N00B Doesn't evEN know How SG works.". I helped him out, explained the games and gave him some tips, to the praise of several other newer players, who told me that no-one would help them when they first joined.
Point is, to have a better community we need to bring up the new players well. Help them, be a good sport and follow the rules, and unless they're an intentional troll, they'll follow along. Back when I really got into survival servers, I didn't base playing on the server by quality of build or quality of plugins, I based it on quality of player. The reason I've stuck with MCSG for so long is because of everyone on the forums. You're all great, and I hope you realize that. Out of the 200 or so that really visit the forums daily, your the heart of the community.
Remember, people will decide how to act on the server based on how others act. So if you all get out there and help a new player, or act kindly, you'll truly be affecting the future of the community. The community is not based on the how many bad players there are, it's based on how many care and how many are nice. So improve our community by setting a new player on the good path (not the bad path, the circle one (looper reference! (lol))) and improve our community further!

That may have just been my longest post ever, my soul was momentarily possesed.

Couldn't agree more Maybe a better auto-kick system for spam, and an auto-kick system for offensive language would help too.

The auto kick for spam would be amazing but the auto kick for language wouldn't work simply because people could get around it easier. For example, it could auto kick you for saying hell. People would then start saying he11 or another variation. And people might get falsely kicked for typing hello and leaving of the o by accident. This could occur with many words. But the auto kick idea for spam would be amazing!

so true, everything u just said I agree with completely. Please continue to keep up the good work, and seriously: apply for mod when it opens up again, I would be proud to have you on the team.

You're welcome by the way! (Disclaimer: I had nothing to do with this post. This is just me joking around. )

The offensive language thing.. I know of a plugin that converts those words to different ones. Like saying d**k will turn it into lollipop or chair or something like that.

This thread… is beautiful. Why hasn't Chad seen it yet?

Too busy looking at dem lobbies, he actually finished now.

I happen to be another mature 12 year old, and I understand what Awesomeness is saying. Which is kinda why I think we should have young moderators, because they can be more mature than people like MuffinBeaner (no offence, but you are kinda immature) probably have a ban coming their way.
