Minerealm Security Force (aka: M.S.F. Officers)

The bans section has at least doubled, if not tripled in size in the past few weeks. We all know we need some more force.

The M.S.F. would be a group of members devoted to protecting the spawn area. Now, before you go off saying that we have mods who do the same thing, just take some time to read the following information.
[idea] This could almost be like a ‘Mini-Mod’ or maybe ‘Mod in Training’ type thing. A qualification? [/idea]

Job Description

These players would stay in the spawn area and sometimes follow suspicious members out of spawn. I have personally followed a few people out of spawn who were banned later that day.

Special Abilities

This task force would have the ability to reverse all kinds of block placements.

Another idea is a “Trial Ban”. This is a type of ban that the M.S.F. Officers would be able to perform. What it is, is a ban that will be reviewed and authorized later. Screenshots of the damage, number of blocks removed/placed, and the fixed product are needed for the ban to become final and appealable.
The person who received a “Trial Ban” would see a message like this when they try to log on:

ATTENTION: You have been temporarily banned by a M.S.F. Officer for suspicious activity (hacks) or griefing. This ban will be approved or denied by an Admin/Mod ASAP.

If denied, you will be allowed back on the server. If accepted, you will get an official ban and will need to appeal at http://www.minerealm.com.

Do NOT try to appeal now. If you do, your official ban appeal, may not be accepted.

Please try logging on within a few hours. If you have a forum account, a P.M. will be sent. Otherwise, when you try to log on, you will either get this message, the official ban message, or will log on.

Qualifications

You have to have been on this server for at least one month and have proven that you are trustworthy.

You can be a mod. (But that defeats the purpose, does it not?)

You must have a forum account.

Your forum account MUST be active. To be considered active you must have at least 7 posts a week.

You MUST be an active member of the Minerealm community.

Scheduling

This is to bring organization. I know that when I log on in the middle of the day or early in the morning no mods are on. But I normally see some of the same faces! These people would be scheduled when they tend to be on.

To be a ‘Scheduled M.S.F. Officer’ you must normally log on (to the game) around the same time, every day. This is mainly for during the work week. Vacations are an exception.





So post your ideas and whatnot about this below. Changes can be/will be made. I am excited to hear your criticism to see what we can do to improve the idea.

So you want people who aren't mods to be able to make little lynching squads.
Nope.avi

EDIT: You want non-mods to be able to ban people, and then have the banned people unable to appeal. You are full on retarded.

Sounds like the Red Guards from Communist China in the 60s.

I disapprove.

Did you even read Lights? It is like a temp ban, so that the griefer (they are destorying spawn in front of a M.S.F. Officer's eyes) can't continue on his rampage. The ban would then be approved/denied by a Mod or Admin when they get on.

It might be on the forums though, because you DO have to provide evidence for the ban to be accepted.

Lights, I suggest you get some of Mr. Franklin's bifocals. They might help you.

EDIT: Never heard of them Fail. Might just have to look them up... I hate communism though, I would never intentally create something like it. Ever.

You have got to be trolling. Please tell me you are trolling.

From the original post i salvaged some form of idea. Instead of a "Blah Blah Security Team", what about a command like "/flag <player>". People who are active for over a month and have a forum account could register to be able to use the command. The flagging would not ban the player instantly, only if over half the people who are online with the command type it in and use the same players name. The ban could last for an hour or two which would give mods enough time to get on and actually ban the player before they get back online.

On the other hand, Mods can just rollback damage now, and while griefers can be annoying their damage is usually reverted instantly. I'm not even sure if this is needed, but the original idea could be turned into a Salem Witch Trials fiasco.

Offtopic: Communism as an idea is not bad. People just are not compatible with the principles of the main idea, so they turn it into something else. Generally a dictatorship.

All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.

True. I do like your idea better ramien!

@Lights: Remember I am 12 and am entering 8th grade. Haven't really been introduced into history of other countries and whatnot.

I like this idea a little bit, but these 'officers' should be checked and checked again and should not be able to ban or even 'temp. ban'.

So basically, because you're too lazy to learn outside of school, you have no idea what the outside world is like?

Go get a **** book, kid.

Also, giant hell no to this Minerealm SS.
