AusCraft Forums

Okay!
We (AusCraft) would first like to thank everyone for applying!
Your initiative in making AusCraft a better place has boundless benefits for the community and yourselves.

Although we would like to accept every applicant, we just can't
Only three of the applicants have been accepted after proving to us that they can traverse the deep tides of being a valuable and respectful player, and so here they are!

- Dewing69
- Dr_InShane_O
- Chronic_Assassin

These three will still have to pass through the rank of Trial-bAdmin, being trained in to becoming full bAdmins.

To the applicants who didn't get accepted, it isn't the end of the world.
Keep your priorities right and you may be a strong candidate for next months election!

Largely, making the post about kit abuse has had a positive response. Most of the offenders have publicly admitted to their offense, and have paid back the money they made illegally.

The main reason we did this crackdown was because D0dg3 was ripped off by several players of nearly $60,000, selling wool they had gained for free from /kit.

A couple of those players stopped after realising that what they were doing was against the rules, although it's morally questionable to begin with.

Some players, however, continued to do so, and one of them has failed to admit to their crimes in public as stipulated in the other thread, insisting that coming forward in private was enough.

This player is Oyemate22.

She sold approximately 63 stacks of wool (that's 4032 blocks) for $11250 in game.

Not only that, she knew _exactly_ what she was doing, even going as far as insulting D0dg3's intelligence. Here's an excerpt from the server logs,...

It's unfortunate that we have to do this, but the actions of certain players has brought this about.

Admins have just spent over 6 hours pouring over the server logs for the last week, in response to one player's shop being the target of a mass wool sale. We are not happy with the results.

We do not tolerate kit abuse (for example, selling wool kits) of any sort and now we feel that an example needs to be made so that others do not follow.

However, I am giving those who have abused the chance to own up to their actions. If you have been selling the contents of the various kits (tools, wool, dtools) we invite you to come forward and only the ill-gotten gains will be taken from you.

If you do not come forward, we will know. Not only will you lose your ill-gotten gains, but your ability to use kits will be taken from you as well.

You have 48 hours. From this point forward, any player caught will be punished with the latter.

Due to several recent incidents and a checkered past, AusCraft has decided that when the server comes back online, Factions will not be a part of it.

Factions brings out the worst in people. Vicious verbal abuse, glitching, camping, backstabbing, disrespect of authority, all too common. As a strong community where the players look out for each other, Factions simply does not belong.

It will be replaced by another game mode, soon to be announced.

Factions and its tendency to bring out the worst in people is also part of the cause of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack that has had the server offline the past three days. We're working towards a solution that will hopefully bring AusCraft back online before the end of the weekend.

This has been a public service announcement. Replies are closed.
