Free Signs too Free?

Hmm
I just want to mention that i think all this is getting out of hand.

Why not place free signs of everything at spawn, and send all our admins on a holiday?
As i walk thru the world i see the most ugly 1 sort block only castles appear. glowstone creations, that are built and not used.
(deserted after being built)
Because all items are so easy to get, some new ppl that join, never have mined for anything.
Its becoming a "free sign /ask admin for items and you get it all without any question asked"world.

Where do we keep some control in this server?

I push ppl to go mine for items (its MINEcraft, not ADMINcraft) , some agree its even more fun to find it digging than asking an op/admin for the items.
Cant we got back to no freesigns AT ALL?
Let them play as the game was meant to be and thats Mine for stuff.

Sometimes people ask me for 20 stacks of something, i ask them why, and if its for a good reason to build something, i give,
but if theres no reason but just to have it, i dont give it.
I dont want to misuse the powers of giving out, while they canEASILY mine it.
Imo ppl get too lazy to get even some **** cobble.
Now some players are so smart to ask it to me, for instance, and if we refuse to ask it they PM to another Op or Admin
And then they still get wht they want.

I want to see 1 line of rules being held under the Admins Ops.

i.e:
Chris asked me and futi for free signs of diamond, iron, and gold blocks. we both said no.
Chris asks lateron to another op the same thing and he just places the signs in his castle.

Its like in a family, Mom doesnt allow it, Dad just says here you are. This doesnt work!!
We must have one rule we all follow.

We also have people that open Shops in the server.
Im not saying i dont want shops, BUT i dont think its fair that some ppl have tp pay them for the items we supply to them?
I mean, Ryan and Death have shops, and ask my head off to supply them with all blocks.
No they dont mine ANYTHING. they just ask Admins to suppply there shops, so they can sell it to others???
Sorry, but this doesnt match in my head.

Shops, ok, but suply them with what they need to sell????
Í refuse that.
If id have a shop being no admin, id mine for my goods to sell.
Now i see several shops with chests FULL of loads of stuff that they NEVER have mined.

How should i work with this?

Please comment me if you want.
Id like to know how you guys think of this.

Thanks.
