i dropped this server cause i was tired of having to tiptoe around the staff to avoid being banned. i heard from a friend that they did something about abusive staff can anybody confirm? i might be willing to come back if so.
 
Unless you blatantly break the rules, you have no reason to tip-toe around. The staff won't ban you unless you deserve to be banned.
 
I'm guessing you haven't been around the past 5 years when the admin abuse was at an all time high or your just a staff kiss up either way your answer is not what I'm looking for what i am asking is if they have replaced some of the staff and if so which ones

This information is readily available on the website:

That doesn't mean Kirby is wrong though, our standards of staff have always been extremely high and we've always dealt with misbehaving staff severely. I'm not convinced any tiptoeing was required at any stage in the past 4 years.
 
I haven't been around for too long, but in the 9 months I've been around, staff have allways been objective and responsible with the power they have been given, I don't know when you left but if it was anything over 9 months, I think you are good to come back.

no offence mon but ive seen a LOT of staff abuse in my time on here that was never considered abuse for instance i think it was James who banned sevak for "hacking" or something? then there was yankee giant who was banned for attempting to raid a mods faction with his PVP guild this was just in the last 1and 1/2 years as well. Not saying all the GM's do it but this server has a long history of admin abuse as well as no one reporting it i just hate seeing good games/servers die off for wrong reasons or miscommunication or even poorly implemented ideas (last part doesn't apply to massivecraft).
some examples would be from personal experience such as these below

It's your choice to belief these people were innocent. It's my choice to belief in the authenticity of the proof that was present. Hacking bans are only issued when a player activates certain hack triggers and is provided with video evidence. I've never heard of the instances you mentioned so they are probably not true.

the rules have been bent on a great many different situations i couldn't list them all and haven't bothered remembering most of them a lot of the time in favor of users but also in favor of staff unfortunately with any system there are ways to get around them even with high vigilance for instance omnom gave us some stuff we lost in lava from a PVP raid back when people needed an RP reason to raid it was against the rules at the time to spawn items but she did it because she felt it was justified at the time

You really don't have much proof-wise. People rant on here too often about these things for anyone to believe what you are saying without some form of proof. 'Not remembering' really isn't an excuse; if the issue really bothered you that much, you would be taking screenshots. And word-of-mouth isn't exactly reliable either, everyone will always say they did nothing wrong in these situations. The difference being, the people who were banned have some sort of evidence against them that clearly shows they deserved it.

I'm somewhat sick of these rants as well. I have yet to see any form of this 'power abuse' you talk about. In the end, you can choose to believe what the people being punished/banned are telling you, or you can believe the system that is in place to deal with rule-breakers and hackers.

agreed on the rants without proof but from the perspective of those who have been wronged proof is only useful in an unbiased group but when admin abuse is involved its extremely biased words the admin and as all server rules go what the admin says goes the king says die so die even if the proof is indisputable and i am not showing proof just asking if the proof is making a difference now or if there are still problems as for those who are banned legitimately i can say good riddance to bad rubbish.

My friend @tomzy2k10 was banned due to false evidence of suspected hacking (5+ filed reports).
 
I just took the liberty to look up the evidence. Sorry, but the evidence in the video's is really obvious, coupled with circumstantial evidence of suspicious behavior. Like there's no way denying it.
Welp, was a good run for him. Thanks for doing your job as a staff! Community (PvP and RP) is happy. :) (Oh, no sarcasm in the sentence).

It's all fine and dandy demanding proof, but remember massivecraft tends to urge disgression on these things, people who post extreme ban related material will be punished for it
