First off, sorry for my poor english.

The main thing about this issue is the diversity of the players. Some like to play survival, farm their mats..wich is great. Others, like me, prefer to create great things... and by that I am not talking about a castle made out of diamond block, just original stuff. I completely approve the stone / wood signs, simply because without them, the world would be filled with big, abandoned holes simply to mine for the creation you want to build. That, and the '' the house next to me is made of gold, mines need to be made of diamond ! ect.

If I may speak honestly, I often feel sad for the admins and ops, some people seem to abuse so much of you all. I used to ask alot of favor, for example colored wools when i started playing. however, the second i learned how to make real dyes, I felt so much pleasure and gratitude to farm the mats myself, You feel another kind of acomplishment that way.

This is my 2 different point of views of this issue, Simply to explain the need of balance. I think the signs like this is Ok,

Keep up the good work,

I have a view on the subject.

I have sat on the SMP server for a couple months now, sometimes just watching the chat box scroll while my furnaces go.

I mine everything myself. I hunt for my own dyes and, before the glass kit, dug for sand and such. I love sandstone and brick as many of the Admins on the server know. I search for clay myself. Thats why I love minecraft, I have to work for my creativity.

Now to the heart of it, while I work or have to wait for my work to cook, I watch other ask and ask and ask for stupid things they could easily make themselves out of laziness. Like arrows, or wood, dirt, ect.

I would suggest setting up a sign that said that admins are there to make sure everyone is friendly to each other and not a personal bank to the players.

The signs, I like. But diamond and gold? (I personally think ugly things are made of these materials only to be abandoned)

If the admins stopped being "The Bank of Mikes Revenge Server", players would be forced to do their own mining. And if they don't like it, we would have less people being stupid. (You know who the stupid people are.)

Catykins, you have a fairly good point. You feel alot more better when you accomplish something you worked hard for it. I remember giving someone yesterday 16 obsidian, that i worked hard to get.. only for him to trade it in the chat 2 seconds after because he had an inventory full of it

Honestly, I say there should be free signs for things that are hard to get, but we should only give players these signs ONCE they have been here a period of a few weeks or days so we know they won't block spam like two people today were doing. Asking for wools and cooblestone really shouldnt happen constantly I think because you can easily get these items.

I don't think players should have personal signs at all

Well how about the stealing/robbing problem then? If you don't give them a chance to protect their items we're getting a shitload of people who want their stolen stuff back.

I agree that there should not be any personal [free] signs.
I have set up a collection signs at spawn for 'General Supplies' which include tools and basic building materials. Anything beyond that, the players should be able to make from the materials at spawn.

Here is a list of [free] signs I have placed at spawn;

Diamond Pick
Diamond Shovel
Diamond Axe
Diamond Garden Hoe
Seeds

Cobblestone
Smooth Stone
Logs
Glass

Paper
Wool
Compass

Iron Ingots
Gold Ingots
Diamond ingots

The ingots are on the list because the ore is scarce and players ask for armor.
This should help reduce the amount of requests to OPs for items
Suggestions for adding or removing are welcome.

I would totaly love a legit server that you have to work, but in the other hand We all did so much work in this one... it would be a big slap.
