Welikeike22's rule-clarification Spree! ---------- [Case 2] There's been alot of discussion amongst users and E.C.C Staff about the use of Bridge/Lift/Door/Disposal signs on spawners in the Mining World and the Nether to protect against users milling around attempting to break spawners just because of it. This prevents all users except those with extended creations from breaking these signs, thus making these spawners impenetrable to all those whom haven't donated for Extended Creations. According to some staff, this is a ban-able offense with no warning. Since there's such discussion on it and the staff view on it seems to be a general 50/50 split on it being allowed, and banned, i feel we need a definite answer. What do you guys think? If we are to ban it, should we just removed Extended-creations from the nether/mining world? I'd really like to have a definite answer to this, with hopefully the final say coming from Andrewkm.
wow hes comes to the rescue again this issue needs to be clarified and mainly by andrewkm him i have no choice on ban etc
There is nothing there stating that you cannot put a lift sign on a spawner. Thus it is not against the rules. Frankly I think that it's a neat little perk to this donation feature (even if it may have been unintended). Regardless of any what any mod says it is not against the rules because it's not stated in the rules for that donation feature. Someone decided to say this was a bannable offense, even thought it's not and it spread. Kind of like an urban legend, someone made it up and it spread until eventually it was believed to be true.
When that rule was written, no one did anything with spawners. Sometimes rules need to be updated or get clarification once an issue does come up. It might not be in the rules now, but it also might be something that Andrew and/or a majority of the server wants added to the rules. Though, I do agree with your last part. Sometimes things spread around as a rumor or personally opinion/choice and become "true," despite there being no evidence or legit written/spoken word. I personally have seen no issue with donators getting a slimmer chance of "protecting" their spawners, nor have I personally heard of any staff saying it is bannable or even banning for it. It's a "small bonus" donators will get... ExtCreations gets "protection," Flyers get speed-farming and speed-building (though limited by anti-cheat, so it's still minor).
