    As we are not allowed to post in ban appeals, I would like to discuss this in here instead, for all to voice their opinion.
    I would prefer if you keep your flaming, spamming, drama, trolling, complaints and ban issues out of this topic. I would like the forum staff to remove said posts when they do happen before the discussion ends as well, if possible.


    I am not opening this discussion to troll or light up drama that is already in progress, I just think that this rules should also clearly apply to any above ground player construction (as in clearly visible, like houses etc..) and fenced areas and not just bigger towns. I would personally hate to see someone starting to build yet another sky city or any other kind of random platform above my fenced area and house, as I would consider this a dick/grief move not any different from a certain griefer group (the cobblecloud on spacemonkey, if that rings a bell to you).
    I did not include any underground structures, as you can't see them or know they are there unless you clearly mark them above ground.


    Quote by Jarvisd that I wanted to comment on, irrelevant (ban appeal) information has been removed. ( [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] )
    Jarvisd wrote:In my opinion building over some city which is about to be zoned is griefing. I mean, I can't go and build my house above grintendos shop? Razz That is my logic and we will see where it goes in appeal.

    "All of the above and non-fenced houses (or obvious player constructions)"

    There is PLENTY of space left on the map so people can go bugger off to another, uninhabited, area if they feel the need to make a godawful floating construction.
    This ALSO means Rune-waypoints-over-houses. I don't know which Staff authorized that but you are a stupid asshole.

    some idiot at the spawn built that giant ugly wooden structure thing over my "dont build in this area please" zone, yet you dont here me complaining, but still i think that sounds about right not to be allowed to build over someone elses house, cause what if they were planning to expand it upwards, but now they can't?

    I personally have a small humble house on the ground and am quite happy with it, but If some asshole were to build their "sky city" above my house thus blocking the sun and making mobs spawn by my house during the day, I would be mad. Also I live in a secluded area and I would hate to see a house right above mine when there is plenty of open room all around me.

    Extending on from this, the huge "sky city" just outside the spawn gate, seriously? Can we take some action on that since...

    1) It's fugly
    2) Spawns mobs
    3) They keep extending
    4) Soon the whole spawn area will be covered in darkness...

    My thoughts exactly.
    Devilsfan65 claims that it's his land, though even though he has a zone there, it is not 50 by 50 like he claims it to be, and he build far beyond his zone and over other people's work as well, not to mention that he builds right above the exit stairs.

    I PMed the owner of that Skymonstrosity (and made a sign in front of what I think his main entrance is).
    He has until Saturday to remove all excessive bits of it (anything not in his zone that is over the paths/other houses) or I will do it for him.


    Seriously what do people find so entertaining about those floating pieces of crap? If you're gonna make something like that at least have the decency to make it small and not look like shit.

    Hello. I helped make the sky platform with devilsfan, i did not intend to grief people. The reason why it is floating is we are trying to farm trees and sell them and a sky platform seemed to be the best way to protect the trees from other players. Tt will be moved when the server comes back up. again we are sorry for all the trouble.

    Building above someone's 'work' without their permission, in my opinion is griefing. Unless of course its a multi-leveled city or something.

    4) Soon the whole spawn area will be covered in darkness...

    A) A lot of them are pretty much flat squares made out of dirt. I would personally like to see one thats considered... Breathtaking? Floating ruins/Ancient Civilization type deal maybe?
    B) Squares are easy to extend, a planned layout is a bit different,
    C) If they built these things over lakes and oceans, that solves quite a bit of the problem.

    Don't worry you haven't griefed as such. Your building is just unwanted really, you didn't build over people apart from the spawn, it's just that things like that in that area are a bad idea. Not grief though, don't worry about that.

    Hey my base is a floating island! Though I built it over a lake and a decent few minutes away from the spawn and it as existed for months now. It's not complete but when it's done I'll throw a house party.

    Someone built a spawn town ontop of the minecart station in spawn!

    what about ppl building under you? What you cant see cant hurt you? "My view is ruined!!!!" Get over it, what about your future basement? oh wait! you cant, cause someone pulled an underground highway b(e)low your house.

    Ofcourse its easier to tell if something is above your buildings (above ground), but in my opinion, what lies below is far more important. But then again, minecraft is, for a lot of ppl, about the aesthetic value.

    haha yes, down with sky monstrosity's! I agree with whomever it was that said it first, building above/below someones land intentionally is trespassing you limit that persons creative talents by limiting them from expanding their vision upwards or downwards, its a different story if you dont know its there, otherwise find your own plot of ground to stake your claim on the world. A common rule that I LOVE and think every server should include would be something like, No buildings that are excessively impractical. Creative 2.0 is fine, but towns floating on a whim are just meh, so ugly and ruins the land under themaswell. I build a sky village once, and then i supported it with iron colums, and X-braces. obviously i voted NO building on other peoples land. and sorry for posting in the original ban appeal at first.
