We Play Minecraft has been doing organised griefing on our server.

Recorded so far, the WPM owner: Onrick and one of their admins beany273 have both visted.

I wasn’t there but as it seems from what I’ve been told, Onrick came on and started arguing…

Onrick is not the owner of WPM. He is only in charge until I come back from a short break that I was in need of. Just putting that out there. And wouldn’t it be possible that your players were being rude to begin with, and he was just treating them as they were treating him? That seems like a very possible scenario to me. Of course your own players are not going to tell you that they were giving him shit when he logged onto your server.

That screenshot of the chat on your server doesn’t reveal any context of the actual conversation, like you said. So, as easy as it is for you to say that he is portraying you as a dick, it is equally as easy to say that players on your server were, in fact, being dicks. As for Beany, he is one of the nicest people on our server, so it’s hard to believe that he would do anything like that to anyone. If people still think he griefed in some way, then in the words of the internet, “pics or gtfo”. And really, why does it matter if Jessi visited your server? You didn’t have anything bad to say about her.

While I do not condone negative behavior towards other servers/sites (and am not responsible for it in the case of our players), I personally believe that you have been rude to your readers at times, and could be considered a dick even when seeing the topic from your perspective. A recent example is when kingdomcraft asked you how you got your server status image. Instead of a) helping a loyal follower out, b) promoting the author of the banner, or c) preventing someone from spending as much time as you did looking for something they stated they’ve already tried looking for, you wasted your time typing out that lengthy reply when you could’ve just said “the link is, in fact, on the banner itself”.

I appreciate you warning your players about what will happen if they grief our server, even though you dedicated a whole post to slandering it. To me that’s like shitting on my face and telling everyone they can’t laugh. Or vomit, depending on the person.

(fixed, but here’s a backup link just in case)

Firstly, if our players were being dicks to him to start with how did he get promoted to Member on our server? For any player to even get considered for promotion to another rank requires them to get along with our community. If (as your suggesting) our players were rude to Onrick upon joining then he would not have even been considered to be ranked up.

The fact that he was ranked up shows that we have trust in other server staff that they will not do things like this. Obviously, that was a complete mistake on our behalf.

The above is even portrayed in our rules. Rule one: Thou will not be a jerk to others. and in the event that one of our players was rude to a person as soon as they joined I wouldn’t allow them to stay for much longer as many of our other players wouldn’t. That I can guarantee.

The screenshot doesn’t reveal anything, the log from before that does shed a little more light (link).

There’s around 3000 lines of log from the time Onrick (and co.) log in to the time they leave. I’m not going to post it all, its not worth anyone’s time reading it all because the point stands that they did grief and were being rude.

Pictures or it didn’t happen you say? (link of beany caught in the act, provided by TotoroMcFlurry)

and to back this up, we also run a block logging plugin on our server. Here is an image of what the grief looked like (pics: 1, 2, 3) and here is the block log at the time (copy of block log) and just for good measure, here is the general coordinates of the castle that Beany237 griefed (cords).

Don’t make it personal. While I was being unfair, yes I’m not denying it, about that all they could like you said taken a look and found that…

“the link is, in fact, on the banner itself”.

And the warning is not for you or your server, the warning is so I don’t see or find any of our players feeling (and acting upon) that they must ‘one up’ or get revenge for this; because our players are not those type of people.

I do not log onto your server and cause problems for your staff or you, neither do my staff do it either, I do certainly not grief and I would not be lying about this to slander your name.

Your ‘staff’ did the griefing and abuse, you might not accept the blame but all the same it still falls back onto your server and it reflects on you,

all of you.

And myself and the players will hold your name, WPM, responsible.

“In my world we call this ‘getting served.’”
