When you're making a poll with mutually exclusive answers, you should make them mutually exclusive.

If someone cannot be arsed to actually read the rules, written at spawn, does that *magically* exempt them from being banned for a rule they do not know of? The answer to that is no, aware of the rule or not, that is on them. They should not be warned anymore than they already are about being banned by a honeypot. The rules state that there is no griefing, and they should be aware of that.

Almost 100% of people who destroy HoneyPots get banned anyway, but i agree, i don't really like them myself...

Maybe a temp ban would be better...

It's not as if we don't have enough staff/potential staff to carry out against larger amounts of Grief then we have atm.

Surely if someone donated they'd know where the main honeypot blocks are and they'd know not to break them :p?

This isn't an "extra" add-on for ranks, it's to prevent these nubs form being banned 3 mins in-game Razz

To be fair, the two main exits of the spawn are pretty much a minefield for a new player. I'll try not to go so overboard on the new map ;p.

2 things:

1- I voted both yes and no. Reason being: The question being asked is stupid.
2- Honeypot ban appeals are instantly accepted. If you fall for it twice, you're fucked. The warning is the first ban. It makes perfect sense.

But this is the thing: It is a ban that is guaranteed to be lifted. It is a learning experience, if you will. The second honeypot ban is, most of the time, lifted based on the person's attitude.

I think this has been perfectly manageable, and will continue to be...

Orcworm was one of the first servers I came to, so as you do, I gtfo'd the tower as soon as possible and went about building my glorious empire. And by that I mean a hole in the ground using stolen torches and a door made from grief-stolen planks because there weren't any trees in the vicinity.

I didn't know the speshul MC definition of grief and thought "grief" was the actual, IRL definition as in "don't give people shit", so I looted an abandoned crapshack and was on my merry way. Didn't get banned until a few months later so I wasn't put off staying here cuz I already had shit going. If I'd been honeypot'd first time playing, I wouldn't have come back because I wouldn't have seen the server at all and got to see any reasons to stay.

So I think a warning would be better.

Actually... Orc trolled the fuck out of me when I first joined the server. He said "The honeypot block could be anything. Just don't grief and you're fine."

I was taking down someone's house with them (they wanted me to help them out) and I got booted due to lag...

I flipped a SHIT.

And anyways I voted no because the honey Pots entire purpose is to ban noobs who grief. And a warning would be pretty much saying: "WARNING: if you break this block you will be banned, would you like to continue?"

Why don't we remove the pointless pieces of shit?

Even if they carry on to grief players, within at most an hour or two, you get a staff to fix it for you.

Did I not remember reading

Orcworm: "The honeypots are the biggest deterrent in griefers, most of them are filtered out that way". *

Why should we remove them and waste time rolling back their damage later?

I'd estimate that only 1 in 10 that are banned via honeypot actually bother to appeal.

I'd rather deal with unbanning that 1 in 10, than banning and rolling back the 9 in 10 that go on to grief elsewhere

* - It was something similar to that anyway

Yea, I agree with Yarwood here, if those same people aren't banned by the Honeypot, then they'll just be causing destruction elsewhere.

Then should we change the message that the honeypot bans give you? To something that people might be able to understand more? Because I've noticed that some people have no idea what 'appeal' means, and would recognize it better if the wording were something to the effect of:

Honeypot Ban Notification wrote:You've been caught destroying a honeypot block! To become unbanned, please visit Forum.Orcworm.co.uk

Or something like that, change it as you wish, just something that more people could be able to understand.

In theory, that's what I'm aiming for, something that anyone from the age of 5 to 50 can understand. Because if we use something as simple and to the point as that, they'll know what they need to do, and if competent, appeal and become unbanned.

Yep spawn is full of griefs already, removing honeypots would probably mean the majority of the spawn area would be destroyed (or at least full of holes) daily. By spawn I mean exits.

Edit: Removing one trap won't stop anything, we have 2-3 new ones built this week anyhow, I have no idea if they are honeypot or not though. Everything is a honeypot, the orc statue wool, blocks in doughnuts shop, etc..

Speaking as one of the few people here who saw duty as a staff member both BEFORE and AFTER implementation of Honeypot blocks, I'd like to point out that after Orcworm added them the sheer number of Grief complaints fell dramatically. It certainly does work well as a griefer filter.

If the first thing they do when joining the server is destroy another player's build.... they're a griefer. Better for them to be banned for that one block than let them go on and grief 40+ blocks on a build that someone spent a great deal of time on.
