Making Meepcraft More Private: Good or Bad?

It's come to my attention, the abundance of hackers in KitPVP, the drifters who just come on and add weight to the server, and the people coming on just to screw things up (those who go on and just curse, and don't do anything productive). Well anyway, I was thinking that we could make Meepcraft more exclusive, in a way that doesn't hurt the server, but will actually benefit the server. First off: if you had ever bought something from the Meepstore (ranks, Meebles, etc.) this won't affect you. Also, if you had been on Meepcraft in the last 30 days, you won't be affected. Basically, Meepcraft will be whitelisted, but there would be some flexibility. Basically, using an in game command, lets just say /allow [username], if you wanted a friend who has never come on to be able to come on. /allow would only be available to donators, those who bought Meebles, anybody with over $100k Meebles, and Citizens who were on and active for at least one month. /allow would also have a cool down of six hours, preventing one person allowing many negative players on at once. However, in a more traditional route, if someone doesn't know a friend who plays on Meepcraft, they can simply apply on the forums, and mods can approve. In one last way, a person can pay a "MeepPass," which costs $1-$2, and allows them on the server instantly, without having to have a friend /allow them, and without having to apply. In this way, Meepcraft still has a fluid crowd, with the friends of Meepers coming on to Meepcraft, and allows for money through a MeepPass, but still limits a large portion of a bad crowd. Simply, if someone is caught abusing /allow, they will have the privilege taken away. This wouldn't lift bans, however.

If you believe that this is a good idea, vote in the poll, and comment below.

-1 We just got back to the 500+ mark, this would chase players away.

Similar suggestions have been denied and I reckon this one will too, sorry.

 

Are you out of your mind? Server growth will be cut dramatically! How will the server stay up with less donations???

 

this is a ridiculously terrible idea for reasons I don't even need to explain
-1

 

-1 it is not worth to loose the players

 

Meepcraft is a public server. It is for people to play on. We may have some bad people come online now and then, but we get donations and good people more. -1

 

Although I do see what you are getting at, out of the 250 players that would come on and just visit for a few days and leave, 25-45 of those players may stay on Meep and donate, contributing to its growth. This is how servers stay alive.

 

Granted these are issues that need solved, white-listing people is not the solution. - Denied.
