1) the build aspect is diminished because the nessacery tools to make builds that wouldn't normally be possible in survival are either not present (world edit, instabreak) or are just impossible to use with any accuracy (/mc) I have actually built better stuff on the survival server than on build, because if Im going to build in a survival style I may as well have the aspect of gathering resources, to give the completion of a build more enjoyment. On build it's just the endless cycle of going back and forth to spawn to get resources, which just isn't fun, not to mention the fact I probably haven't even finished a build because the enjoyment and the sense of accomplishment after the build is done is practically non-existent.
2) Whitelist would lose players? The servers a wasteland anyway, with less than 10 people on there even at peak times, and most of them are trustable people anyway who would easily make the whitelist. Players already have access to obsidian, so that point is invalid, and just ban water/lava/tnt then, ether are plugins for that.
3)okay, i understand banning ore blocks, but things like blocks of gold? they, in the right hands look great, but your blanket ban just ruins it for everyone.
4)I understand that theres been problems with spawn, but its been in this state for months. Its no use asking mods/ops to put signs back up because as you say, they just come off again, you would have thought the problem would have been sorted out by now.
5)I also understand the need to get people to donate, why not use mc edit as a perk? but there are those of us who aren't in a financial state to be throwing money at things like this. The only reason for me going on the server os because I have friends there, and its nice being part of a server.
6) of course its a plea for creative, thats the whole point of the post. :P The server has been languishing in this state for ages, and I just decided that Im sick of there not being any improvement.
