Make Bans In-Game public again

For people wondering about why people got banned or even if someone does something bad in chat, people will see they got banned and know that that certain action is not allowed. It reenforces the rules and reminds people.

YYUUUGE (sorry) -1, when we had this 117 people said 'ban ban ban' every time someone spammed or swore. Then the staff had to let everyone in global know if they in fact were given a warning rather than kicked or banned just to prevent a riot.

Of course there are still some people who say ban kick all day but the number has declined tenfold.

 

+1

I completely agree, seeing bans and kicks in chat certainly helped me learn some rules.
What would be even cooler is a command to toggle on and off those messages... somewhat like /gtoggle

 

Staff's argument is

Every time we ban a player in chat, we constantly see ''gg' and ''why didn't you ban longer/shorter'' ''He's innocent'' ''unban him''
it became an annoyance and that's why it was removed

I'm a +1, I learned the rules and ban lengths off of chat.

 

Sorry to break it to you, but this will be denied.

 

"Denied, currently not needed."

 

honestly I wouldn't mind this coming back. it creates a more open environment between staff and players. it also helps notify people about the rules. from what I recall, the spam was not so unbearable that people wouldn't play. if anything, people were more immersed in the community. -/+ for now.

The reason it was removed because we had endless players spamming the chat after a player was banned, I see no reason to bring it back.

players spamming after a player who just got banned can push new players away.

 

Bans are private. -1.

 

I used to love this.

Also let us see ban reason in /seen

YUUUUGGGEEE +1

 

We know bans are private, hence the suggestion.

On most other servers, bans are visible. As a result, when new players join the server and see something like "F*** this server it sux!! Every1 charge back!" and don't see an accompanying ban message, a bad message of the staff team and the server is conveyed. In my experience, this has pushed away far more new players than the spam after ban messages, something that can be mitigated anyways via /gtoggle.

In case that wasn't clear, here's an example.

[G/TownsA] [Ultimate] VKL_ReWindzZ: Screw this terrible f***ing server! It sucks! It's the worst server in the world. Everyone charge back.
[MeepCraft] VKL_ReWindzZ has been banned by XChaosZeroX for 7 days because of: Server Hate
[New Player] Ah, okay, so the staff team is doing its job.

versus

[G/TownsA] [Elite] mickthomson56: Fuzzlr is a ******! Everyone charge back! Kill the *******!
*mickthomson56 silently gets banned without anyone noticing*
[New Player] What the hell? /modlist says that there are mods online... is this kind of crap really acceptable on this server? I guess it really is...I guess I quit--this place must really suck if people can get away with saying that crap.

Now this is where we get toxic new players, because they don't see bans for behavior similar to this and begin imitating it in shout.

+1 to the suggestion

 

I love how you use VKL for the example xD, +1 for reasons above

 

Fuzzlr is a phoney?
Kill the phonies?

I think metr0 is secretly trying to spread a message you guys

 

yeah what a phonie

 

#KillAllThePhonies2k16

 

Fizzle god damn autocorrect

 

I've got to say +1 to this, because I agree with what metr0 said, and we get pretty much the same amount of spam from people saying "ban" after the person has already been banned as we did with the whole "gg" "lol bans" and all that jazzy jazz.

 

You can't really argue with this, +1 because of the above

(Here is an example that actually happened to me.)
I once saw a player hacking in kitpvp (shocker) and recorded him and switched to youtube while uploading the evidence. I switched back to Minecraft and he was banned and I never saw a message or anything (it literally takes 10 seconds for me to get the uploading to start and switch back to minecraft) I wasted my time finishing uploading it, and telling a staff member about it, then he told me "He was banned 10 mins ago."

I never seen this happen when we had 1000 players online daily.

Shouldn't have broken the rules if you're so embarrassed about getting banned >.>
