I know you must be thinking, another one... but please just read this thread.

Today, I will be comparing key aspects of the three controversial updates; 1.9, the new punishment system, and the Private Reports.

Green = Good
Yellow = Neutral
Red = Negative

Key Aspect #1: Support from Active Forum Members

1.9: High, most active forum members agreed to the change and wanted to embrace the new features in 1.9.
NPS: Minimal, many active forum members did not agree to giving players an easy second chance.
PR: Split, some players see it as good while others do not.

Key Aspect #2: Who Made Opposition Threads?

1.9:
Random Players, they have never been seen on the forums before and made an account just to oppose it.
NPS: AFMs, they know about the changes and do not agree with any of them.
PR: AFMs, they spark argument and has caused some of the community to turn against the management team.

Key Aspect #3: Who Does this Benefit?

1.9:

- Staff: It allowed reports to get under control and allowed developers to make cool new updates!
- 1.9-Friendly Members: It allowed a major server to have 1.9 PvP, which is not expressed in other large servers.
NPS:
- Rulebreakers: Gives them an easy 2nd chance, ruining the fun for lots of members.
PR:
No players

Key Aspect #4: Who Does this Hurt?

1.9:

- 1.8-Friendly Members - Many of these members went to other servers, or halted playing this server until 1.8 mode was released
- Rule breakers- Created a temporary hiatus in all hackers on the server
NPS:
- Staff, who have had to deal with a vastly increased amount of reports
- Members, who have had to deal with a much larger amount of hackers
PR:
- Staff, who will have to deal with more reports
- Members, who can't add more evidence and have to make a new thread.
- Rulebreakers, who can't view their evidence. This would cause them to get mad and leave the server, which seems like a good thing but that means people who are sorry would also leave and not appeal.
- Commenters, this may seem like a good thing because it's currently against the rules; but as usual they only think what is good for the staff team in the short term. They could have used this to their advantage, if a player commented something correct a staff member could just lock it rather than having to respond.

Key Aspect #5: Publicity of the Update

1.9:

- Tried to express this in every way
NPS:
- Tried to hide this, not saying that the new punishment for hacking is a week so the community doesn't get angry, which backfired, as usual.
PR:
- Doesn't really apply.

Might not be a good idea to bring up multiple of these in one thread :P Private reports benefits staff as they won't have to deal with me commenting on reports anymore :P and its cool to count how many reports you have and how many actually got answered :D

Hope fully it will all work out. I trust in Cubecraft to do the best of their abilities to make positive changes for the server!

a place where everything you touch turns to gold.
Private reports will benefit the whole community since no players will reply to reports. Also, it benefits the persons who report. Let's say I see a very loved player of the community swearing, I report him and he gets muted, after that, everybody will hate on me cause I reported him. Now the reports are kinda anonymous, only staff sees who is reporting.

A lot of players seem to be missing this:

They could always add an option for Anonymous Report. It will default to No.

So what you're trying to say is that the new punishment system should be adjusted and maybe the private reports, because if you are trying to say that, I will agree a 100%.

I don't really Mind....
Didn't see any Hacker all day.... Except the ones that I wanted to see.. @Diogu ;)
The new punishment system isn't that bad... It also isn't perfect...
I do agree a little bit with the Report section... Now I cant see who got reported.... How many reports someone has and add Evidence....
So yeah....

Personally I see 1.9 as a positive thing. Not many big servers have 1.9 AND 1.8 pvp, so this makes Cubecraft quite unique.
I do not like the new punishments system. I feel that hackers are still hackers and for me, banning them for one week is just a bit too light.
I like the new reports section. I can now see which threads I need to bump as it is hard to find in the threads created section.

I honestly think that a one week ban for first offense hackers is not harsh enough. If the average hacker got banned, they will start hacking again immeadiatly after their ban.
Lol who cares? It's his/her fault for being salty or mad (cuz bad) A reported guy is a reported guy. No matter how well-known he is. You should just ignore all the hate OR

That was meant as a general statement, by no means is that everyone :p
Yes, they PM the staff member and the staff links the YT vid.
I said NON-video, which means it's screenshots that are required for proof.

I meant it as:
1.9- Positive
Punish- Negative
Reports- Neutral-Negative

Also, you could always click on Information on your profile page and check all of your threads there.

An alternative is that they could have an option:

Show all Reports
Show Only Your Reports
Show Reports of You + People you Follow

I know you could do that but I prefer the new way. Also helpers don't really need to inform people of commenting on reports as they can't so I think this makes their job easier.

If you read my original posts, I suggested a way to make the people who commented beneficial to the thread.
