So... Basically I've come up with a list of a few suggestions that I have to improve the server overall by making things a bit more user friendly and improving upon a couple things. So, I'll go ahead and start.
Money
The way you get money here isn't very efficient, as you can only sell very few items and get a little bit of cash at a time. I think that it could be much better off if a much bigger list of items could be sold to the server for various prices depending on availability, how hard it is to get, and how much of it you can get. This would take a bit of time to perfect but I think it would be very worth it.
Shops
I strongly feel that the shops would be so much better off with more variety and structure rather than just selling random materials, and I also feel that The free items could also be docked if the suggestion on money is put to use. The shops would need a major overhaul. I also feel like there should be one shop, and one shop only. This would be better so that it's much more fair to everyone. With the ability to get more money, we could also raise the prices if necessary at some point.
Commands
The Mod and Mod+ rank could definitely do with a few more permissions. You trusted them enough to promote them to staff, so why wouldn't you trust them to not abuse their abilities?
/tphere would be a command that I think is almost a necessity, as it should go hand in hand with /tp. Otherwise there's no way for them to remove people from someone else's home other than just jailing them after a few warnings. Seems a bit harsh to me. Another command I think should be given to them is /co purge (ik ik Aidan xD). This command, as most know, is used to completely erase someone's mark on the server. All blocks placed and removed here are replaced and reset back to their original state. Seems powerful, right? Well say someone hacks the server, and places lava and water and blocks and stuff everywhere, though the griefs are very largely spaced within the world. After banning them, how would you go Aabout removing all the grief everywhere, because? I know an Owner or Admin could take care of this, but what if one isn't on? It's not a necessity, I know, but it can help if we need to remove everything someone did here. Just makes things simpler. I'm not completely sure of other commands yet, I could possibly be updating this thread periodically.
Another thing I need to bring up is Mods and Mod+ have the ability to ban / jail / mute Admins, and also Owners if I'm not mistaken. This is something that could possibly be fixed if anyone feels it's necessary.
Punishments
I feel the scale here used on people who have disobeyed the rules is very extreme, and discouraging for new players. With the scale given to me, 1-3 blocks warrants a warning / tempban of 3 days or so and it just increases from there until 10 blocks+ which means a permanent ban. I realize that they can just come to the forums and create a ban appeal, but I really feel like this sort of thing is just keeping people from staying on the server. And not all of them know where the website is. I realize that the rules here are very strict. I am okay with that, but I feel like we should loosen the reins a bit. Not so much that it lets them feel like they can do whatever they want to without fear of being banned, but a little less harsh so that they are so scared of being punished they decide they can go build or live in a different community.
These are just a couple suggestions I've put together so far, like I said I might be updating this thread periodically. If you've got any suggestions yourself, or things you think could be improved on in my suggestions, feel free to post them here : D
