We should reset building permissions when switching to a new map, then be very selective as to who is promoted to citizen and who isn't. I've had it with the griefing.

Makes sense, lots of 1 post wonders requesting to be promoted (or a friend of a member).

Perhaps prior to reset we can open a sum forum (as it is a Neowin hosted server) and in that subforum we can have polls to let the community vote on rules such as post counts for citizen status, and other limits and rules, that way we can have it all decided prior to the update, whenever that may be. We could also use it for specific discussions and have a thread entirely dedicated to build permission requests.

Yeah, a few other locations have been griefed as well. What I suggest is that you need to have been a member of the community for X amount of time and/or have a minimum post count of X to be able to be whitelisted.

I second the idea of a community poll for the rules. Obviously Timan would have the ultimate say (veto power), but voting definitely sounds like an advantage of this Minecraft server being tied to Neowin.

The rules on length of Neowin membership, post count, and warning level also sound like a good idea. However, it would probably take a little longer for mods to check member's status, and therefore longer for access to be granted.

I don't know how feasible the following suggestion would be since I don't know how the IRC system is setup on the back-end, but would it be possible to create a system like we have for IRC that links each user's Minecraft account to his Neowin account? The system could decide whether a user should be promoted to citizen status based on our basic requirements. If a member is allowed access, his Neowin username, Minecraft username, and citizen status could be added to a table in a database. We could then use a Bukkit plugin to check the user's status against the database when he tries to login.

So, no one was a fan of my idea for a MC Server sub forum / poll page for the server?

You didn't quite wait long enough. I was writing my reply when you asked.

Sorry, I keep forgetting how slow things can be around here, the page is not really all that active.

I also wasn't logged into Neowin when you asked the question. I just login occasionally to check things as I have time. I only read your post a few minutes before you asked if anyone agreed with your suggestion. If you want an instant response, the best place to talk is probably IRC. A day is probably sufficient delay on the forums for enough members to have read your reply and contemplated a response that you could reasonably ask if anyone agreed with your suggestion or if the dearth of responses indicated a lack thereof.

It is very rare that I have access to IRC during the day, as I am working lol. I have plenty of access to the forums, via my phone.

Also, the ability to create protections/apply for protections on the server would be a useful addition, especially in Creative.

Also, Bug Report: The portals at Spawn are bugged out and don't do anything upon contact.

And a question, why is it when I go to type, it'll say "Stop ADS!" in chat?

    • Apple reluctantly forces strict new age checks on Texas users starting today

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Ladybird Browser is no longer accepting outside contributions thanks to AI

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.
