Please rethink your decision on deleting this thread until after you have read this.
So let me get this straight.
This past week, staff have been telling us not to worry about the blacklisting of Meep?
You completely LIED and SCAMMED the entire community.
The main (not only) people to blame here, is the administration of this server. The administration is supposed to protect this server. Yet, they have only put it into further danger. Meep was blacklisted because the administration did not comply with the EULA of Mojang. Administration put the illegal ranks back on the server. Even if it was a "hacker" that happened to just wipe everything out, doesn't that show any type of failure in the system of your security?
After being blacklisted by Mojang, why would you push the limits even further?
Why are you angry at the community that YOU scammed?
Instead of focusing on "deleting the negative comments of the community" how about you listen to them for once, and maybe this problem can be avoided.
To the people who just WASTED their money on the ranks they just bought. I'm sorry to you.
To people who were told not to worry about the blacklist of Meep by the staff. I'm sorry to you too.
And to the people who used their valuable time playing this game. I'm sorry to you too.
Whether or not meep was hacked by someone, or shut by Mojang, the administration (not just admins, anyone who is apart of developing this server) still severely failed at their job.
Therefore, instead of trying to blame the issue on some hacker, or whatever you decided, the administration should apologize for THEIR actions. Or the actions they didn't take.
HOWEVER
There is still a bright side. I am allowed to rant and express my anger. It is very difficult to fix anything without understanding your failure. There is always a good to a bad, and a bad to a good. I hope the administration has learned for what they've done, and will not make the same mistake again.
Since I saw the "No Word" thread, I have noticed many old Meepers coming back on the forums. This is a good sign, and the admins should take it upon themselves to listen and even ask the old Meepers on ways to improve. I understand there is only a handful of staff, however it doesn't mean it is impossible. You guys can figure out better ways to improve your communication with the community.
For the community. I urge you to rant and rage. It is psychologically natural. You put in so much work for this game and to see it all disappear, is where I can understand you're anger. I go through it at work almost everyday. However, you still have to look at the bright side. The community is what keeps the server alive, and it is what keeps it strong. The community and the staff collide when there is disagreements. That will happen, in any aspect of life. It is impossible to avoid. However, it should be a responsible collision. You will only get what you want if the community negotiates cohesively, instead of divided.
In the past, the server may not have been cohesive, however, hopefully both the community, and the administration have learned from the consequences and will resolve the issue undivided.
My two points, may not make sense in the same thread, however admitting failure and understanding what you did wrong will make this server move on. This goes for both the community and the administration
I really hope I don't hear excuses from the administration, because it will only make you look worse, and you will further yourself and the rest of the server from improving.
