1) Can I have free stuff for my construction project?

No. Everything you see in the world was constructed by hand by another player. It would be unfair to give you free stuff for your project. Even if it's something you're building for everyone's enjoyment. Even if you accidentally fell into a pit of lava and fried to a crisp. Even if your one-legged blind leukemia-riddled kid needs a smile for Christmas. No exceptions.

2) Can I be a moderator?

The usual reason for this question is because someone wants to spawn free stuff. So the answer is no. Moderators only have the right to spawn items in clearly-identified and highly restricted circumstances and their actions are logged.

The other thing moderators can do is promote/demote/ban players and create protected regions. We have enough moderators to handle this chore, so thanks for your interest, but for the moment Minecraft moderators will align with GooFans moderators.

3) But I saw moderator "X" spawning diamond!

No, no you didn't. First, because you can't see such things. And second, all moderator and player actions are extensively logged and I have checked.

Are mods allowed to spawn free stuff to "trade in" for suff you can't get legally?

For example, let's say I give MOM4Evr 35 string, because we agreed that the crafting recipe for cobwebs would probably be 5 string in an X shape. He trashes the string in a Disposal sign and uses /give to give me 7 cobwebs, which are useful for building but impossible to obtain without /give or /item.

There are cobwebs in the abandoned mineshafts. Lots of them.

In general - I don't know. What do people think?

But you can't collect them, can you? They drop string.

Or what about sponge? My idea for that one is 2 cobblestone, just because there's not a really spong block in the game.

I think there needs to be some way to get these, either through another mod (modification, not moderator) or a "recipe".

There IS the "Webz" plugin, which makes spiders drop webs instead of string, which can be broken into string if needed. Also the "Sponge restore" plugin, which makes sponges craftable with any recipe you like (default is 4 string, 5 sand, I think).

I'm pretty sure that webs drop both webs and string, because I have 12 webs in my inventory (and a lot of string too) from exploring an abandoned mine.

Sponges I think don't behave properly?

I'm open to a recipe plugin, if you can find one that handles all the recipes you would want.

Sponges have some uses, like activating a trap invisibly within 5 blocks. (a piston on a sponge activates everything within 5 squares in each direction)

Sponges don´t actually absorb any liquids. On my school´s server, they use sponges as a currency, as only moderators can get them.

They probably have better things to do. When the server was new, everyone loved playing on it because it was new and fresh and ready for adventure. Tongue

Yes. He is banned because of griefing. In case he's asking to be unbanned, no, he will never be unbanned. Ever. So tell him to stop asking.

But if it's something else, I'm all ears.

Well he made a alternate account named Undertheaim and I was wondering if you could ban him again

Undertheaim was just on earlier.

I love invincibility! Arrows bouce off me! It's fun to get a newbie to try to kill be and have the ricocheting arrows kill him. Evil

No, I actually have to catch him online, which is annoying. The new Bukkit update is obnoxious that way.

Joined: 07/08/2011

Wait, Bukkit requires the person to be online? Tongue I suspecting it doesn't let you do anything with players unless they're online now. That's why I support vanilla servers. Smile *ops BLARGYBLARG*

He was online yesterday when we were playing Portal 2 Coop, MOM. I say him log on and off in my IRC logger.
