048|049|Hello, fellow players and staff members of Oasis SMP. I'm sure that we are all aware of griefers. They are the bottom 050|of our society here, and we despise them almost as much as Nazis and Stants. They piss people off for no reason 051|except to arouse their sick minds for strange sexual reasons, and religious rituals. So please, keep this guide in mind.
052|
053|054|Overall, griefers are stupid. They don't serve any purpose. They are like Nigerian scammers, but worse. If you are a 055|griefer and enjoy being compared to a Nigerian scammer, there is something hopelessly wrong with you, and you 056|should probably stop living, like, right now.
057|
058|059|Griefers suck ass because they destroy the work of others, and are overall just annoying specimens of life.
060|
061|062|You may think that only staff members look out for griefers, but the staff members love it when players report 063|griefers to staff members through private messages on the forums. Just continue reading to learn more.
064|
065|066|
067|068|Griefers are usually extremely stupid. If they acquire a great deal of diamonds, they don't want to hoard them in their 069|basement -- they want to craft diamond blocks out of them, and build a house out of those diamond blocks. If you see 070|someone building with rare materials such as diamond blocks or gold blocks, be wary of them. Keep in mind how often 071|you see them online. If they are on a lot, you have less reason to be wary, but if it is the first time you've seen them 072|on, it would be a good idea to report them to the staff. Items to watch out for people building with are spider webs, 073|diamond and gold blocks, excessive lapis and iron blocks, and unobtainable items. If they are a staff member, they 074|hopefully did not grief to get those items, and there is no need to report them.
075|
076|077|If a griefer ever decides to come on to teamspeak, they might show behavior different than normal. If they try to avoid 078|staff members, or refuse one on one conversations, or conversations about what they've built, it is possible that they 079|are a griefer. Be wary if they are just modest.
080|
081|082|Griefers can act stupid sometimes. If you see someone in a house that isn't theirs, and when you approach them they 083|go off in an opposite direction, they could be a griefer. If you approach them and they teleport away using /home or 084|/spawn, they could be a griefer.
085|
086|087|Sometimes griefers will excessively post on the forums. If they are guilty by nature, they may post in threads 088|complaining about griefs, saying things like, "It wasn't me!!" or "I think that it was ____."
089|
090|091|To tell a staff member about a suspected or confirmed griefer, there are multiple things you can do. You may send a 092|staff member a PM on the forums, including any screenshots (press f2 in-game to take a sreenshot) and evidence. You 093|may also notify a staff member in-game, by e-mail or in teamspeak, but a PM on the forums is usually the easiest way.
094|
095|096|
097|098|By choosing a non-griefing lifestyle, you can have an extremely positive experience on our server, with full warmth from 099|the staff.
100|
101|102|By not griefing, you will enjoy an expenses-paid vacation in a cruise destination of your choice.
103|
104|105|If you never grief, there is a 99.9% chance that the staff will never suspect you of doing anything wrong. This will insure 106|the best playing experience possible.
107|
108|109|You may think that we only ban griefers by typing, the /ban command, but oh no. We do much more than that. When 110|we type the /ban command, it tracks their ip address and records it in a text file on the server computer, which is 111|hosted in a top security bunker deep underground in Russia. Our top-security team is notified each day of new bans, 112|and they will pinpoint each user and other connected IP address, collect any needed information about the people using 113|it, and fly to the location of that person. They are transported in cryogenics to one of the staff members houses, (we 114|take turns each month) and hire gay crack-whores to butt-rape them until death, where we continue to hire gay crack 115|whores to butt-rape them.
116|
117|118|
119|120|By destroying blocks that aren't yours, unless instructed to by a staff member or the owner of that block, you are 121|breaking the rules of Oasis SMP. If you are caught, it can result in a kick, specially tailored to lower your self-esteem, 122|a temporary ban, or a permanent ban. Please refer to the previous section to find out about what we do to the people 123|we ban.
124|
125|126|By placing a block on another's property, or five blocks or less from another's property, you are breaking the rules of 127|Oasis SMP. If you are caught, it can result in a kick, specially tailored to lower lower your self-esteem, a temporary 128|ban, or a permanent ban. Please refer to the section two sections ago to find out about what we do to the people we 129|ban.
130|
131|132|Visibility griefing does not have any steadfast rules, it is more common sense. If you build a huge structure that blocks 133|the view of smaller, pretty structures, it is visibility griefing. If you build an ugly structure, especially a huge one that 134|blocks out the view of other, better looking structures, it is visibility griefing. We can't ban or kick you fro building some 135|ugly-ass shit you call a house, but it's a good way to lose a staff member's, or other player's respect. So please, don't 136|visibility grief. In our minds, it sill makes you a griefer.
137|
138|139|Chat griefing is a form of spamming. If you repeat the same phrase over and over again, it is chat griefing. If you 140|advertise a product or another server in chat, it is chat griefing. If you are seriously advertising a product or a server in 141|chat, and you are extremely new to the server, we will ban you. If you are not new to the server, we will kick you. If you 142|repeat the same thing over and over again in chat, we will kick you. If you swear excessively, we will mute you. No 143|matter what.
144|
145|146|Forum griefing is the exact same as chat griefing.
147|
148|149|
150|151|By avoiding staff members, you are putting yourself in suspicion to the staff members as a griefer. Why would you 152|want to avoid your loving staff that don't even get paid to do your bitch-work?
153|
154|155|By avoiding other players, you do the same damage to yourself as avoiding staff members, and you have less of a 156|chance to make friends on the server.
157|
158|159|By taking blocks out buildings, you are breaking the same rule as breaking blocks that aren't yours. You aren't allowed 160|to break, then replace blocks to get inside of a building either, and even though taking blocks out of something that 161|looks like absolute shit, some people call things that look like absolute shit home, and you should respect that.
162|
163|164|By standing in other peoples buildings, you make yourself look excessively sketchy, similar to a black guy standing on 165|the other side of the street. If, however, you are standing in other peoples houses and wearing a herobrine skin, you will 166|be given respect.
167|
168|169|
170|171|Play nicely. Compliment other players on cool things, become friends with other players, and make your self well-172|known, but not too well known (hint hint) in chat. Doing this will increase your popularity and presence on the server, 173|and by doing so you can look forward to more promotions and help from the staff. This does not mean that you can ask 174|the staff to build a house for you.
175|
176|177|Fairness is just as important as being nice. Don't get into arguments that you are obviously on the wrong side of, and 178|definitely do not get into an argument with a staff member.
179|
180|181|By using teamspeak, you make yourself better known to the staff and other players. Feel free to use Skype as well, but 182|staff members will usually use teamspeak instead of Skype, so you won't be able to talk to any of them that way. Also, 183|don't sit in a channel silently, unless you don't have a mic -- if you don't have a mic, come into teamspeak anyway, and 184|you can communicate with other people in the channel through the teamspeak or minecraft chat. We realize that we 185|have a cap of only 16 players on teamspeak, so you might get a "server full" error. Don't worry, we are working to start 186|a new server.
187|
188|189|By being active on the forums, you are making yourself better known to the staff and other players. Just keep in mind 190|to post as many thoughtful things as you can, not just one sentence posts. Also feel free to start your own topics. Just 191|don't whine too much, or post screenshots of griefs in the screenshots section.

*Keep in mind, not everyone that does this is a griefer

I don't think they are referring to anyone, just saying excessive swearing isn't nice and not something that people want to hear on TS. Personally for me, i don't mind hearing the odd word, but when you get a player or players swearing in nearly every sentance they say it is annoying. Same goes when your talking to people when your out and about.

There are also other things which shouldn't be said on TS either, but lets not get into that.

Being a none griefer, this got the rules across in a slightly threatening and humorous way that actually made me want to read more than the first and last line. If i was a griefer, i would poop myself. Being bum raped to death doesnt seem like a fate most would want... I say most because there are some strange (and very creepy) people out there who you may be enticing to grief... Lulz.

While I agree with pretty much everything here, all this state of mind does if feed their endless hunger. They are trolls, and your anger, hatred, resentment, and bloodlust only makes them happy.

PS, your never safe from being accused. When I was a trusted member, someone told a staff member I was using flymod and I was questioned about it. I had to have Sinical teach me how to install flymod when I became staff, thats how little I knew about it.

It's a rant.

yeah I know, lol. Thats why I like this forum.

I have to admit I found what you do to people who get banned hillarious, considering it would hurt.

Ok, now another rant. It took me forever to write and format it. When i finally submit it, some of the line numbers are off. But only after i had colored them. Wtf?

clearly the work of karnage.

tl:dr

saeTan how long did this take you??
