@ldw116 @Jqm1e_ I apologize for the delay in getting even a staff reply on this contract. But the entire structure of this contract has simply too many problems to go forward simply due to its potential for predatory abuse. It's not simply this case (although Jqm1e's apperent lack of knowlege of contract rules are a decent example) but users who would sign these contracts, especially post-grief are usually builders, unaware of their rights and the rules in regard to evictions, item seizures, rule enforcement/punishments, etc. - In effect, this entire contract leaves open the possibility that someone may use it to extort money from builders who griefed a few blocks on the (errenous) threat of losing their items or a ban. Furthermore, while $500 per block may seem like only a paltry amount, it has the potential to add up to quite a lot even when not counting the "each user griefed" clause. If, say, 30 blocks are destroyed in a grief by a user that'd make up a $15,000 debt alone for a builder which is quite excessive and more likely than not, they'd just quit and go to some other server rather than be heavily indebted on this one. We're not in the business of trying to sign builders into contracts that result in them getting banned or quiting due to literal debt bondage. And while I don't accuse you of the intent to defraud users, the possibility of abuse for these types of contracts is simply too much. And either way, if we were to assume good will, rational decision making, etc. with the parties, then we wouldn't be here making this contract because it'd all be unneccessary. But that isn't how ECC, or real life for the matter, works.
