I think that we should have an advertisement think for the punishments of grief. Possibly like the "your last vote was over 24 hours ago bla bla bla". What i mean by this is, say that grief is a bannable offence, and even if people dont see u do it, we have tools to see who broke which block. Something along the lines of that. I think that that would make the rate of grief go down, because at first when i was a builder, and i wasnt as smart, i did grief a town. I thought no1 would catch me, because no1 was around. But if i knew that investigators could see who broke a block with a click of a button, i would have never griefed. Srry if that was hard to follow! Plz reply if you think this a good or bad idea, and why. Thnx!
I've seen things like this in other places, personally it's just an annoyance. By joining the server you agree to the general terms, and if you don't read the rules, that's your own fault.
Yeah, its the griefers fault they didnt read the rules, but its not ur falt that YOU got griefed. This isnt to drop the amount of people getting banned. This is to drop the amount you get griefed. And anyway, the alert doesnt have to have to happen over and over again. Honestly, it could be when u first log on.
Don't add people to your town that you don't trust, simple as that. If you get griefed, there is a Grief Reports section where (depending on severity) you can get it rolled back or the griefer to get justice. Most people, if they grief once, they typically won't do it again. Yes; it is annoying to have to deal with grief in the first place, but at least you know who you can trust and who you can't.
It could be a very periodic reminder, I don't think that would do any harm if it isn't excessively frequent.
I mean really...I've never been on a server where grief isn't punishable... It's like asking someone if it's okay to blow up New York. Because your not sure if it's against the law or not to blow it all up.
But not all servers are able to track grief. Whereas if you grief here, there's a 99.999% chance you'll get caught, a lot of servers lack anti-grief tools. If new players know they won't get away with griefings, they won't grief. Simples
What about a very brief reminder whenever you enter a protected zone via TP or portal. "Teleport Successful, remember griefing is a banable offense"
I don't think it would help anything to have that posted. Frankly, most people who wanna grief are going to do so regardless of its legality. Plus, in a way it is a learning experience for some players to get banned and have to go through the process, read the server rules, etc. Sometimes the tough way to learn things is the one that will stick the most. Basically, I think it will clutter chat, annoy people, etc. Revanrose6
Isn't there a notification already? Surely adding a few words to it wouldn't "clutter chat" too immensely but would remind individuals that it is bannable offense.
Revan has some interesting points I hadn't considered (again) and I think it would be better not to have a notification.
