MassiveCraft believes in fostering and encouraging a healthy and friendly PVP community. MassiveCraft also believes in second, third, and sometimes even fourth chances. When people refuse to listen or violate the fundamental trust between Staff and Player, especially when it is brought to the basis of a verbal agreement, these sanctions are used to correct behavior.
It has shown in the past that certain players laugh at warnings/mutes/jail sentences, which means the punishments meant to correct such behavior are no longer effective, meaning alternatives need to be found.
The fact that it hurts those not responsible for situation trough third parties is excellent. This means that rule violation becomes a common good that can be monitored by everyone instead of just the staff. If everyone carries the responsibility to encourage a good community and atmosphere, then the PVP community can become just as self-policing as the Roleplay Community is currently.
The Roleplay staff haven't banned or punished anyone for several months now. How wonderful would it be if the same applied to the survival worlds : )
Idea rejected and locked.
