Pardon me if namedropping is "against the rules", but seeing as how all of this crap just happened, who enforces them? And maybe if you're scared of your name being dropped, you shouldn't be acting afool.

So I teleport back to my house after a few hours in the Nether to find two guests named "MEK19" and "TheArchangel725" climbing the water to my house. No worries, everything I own except my bedroom is protected by protection stones, I don't mind company. They split and go to opposite ends of my house (I follow MEK) and MEK finds my bedroom, where he steals torches, beds, and wool (my wall pretty much) before jumping out of my house to his death below. His friend is down at the bottom already by the time I jumped, and he hastily picks up my stolen things and runs toward my barn. He proceeds to walk right into my barn (Which has a protection stone btw) and kills every one of my animals; 8 sheep, 1 cow, 5 pigs, and 5 chickens. Loots them all, and runs off.

The first thing I do is ask for an OP to come retrieve my stolen things and to replace my animals, to which I got these replies:

[moderator] awesomealicia: can't replace animals sorry
[moderator] DeadlyLead101: not enough proof

I tell them that I WATCHED the two individuals steal from my house (Mek) and kill my animals (Archangel) right in front of me, is that not proof enough?

[moderator] DeadlyLead101: Not proof enough
[moderator] awesomealicia: we don't keep track of animals, there's no way to say you owned them.

I then waited ten minutes to see if I could at least get my bedroom rolled back to it's original state, no one assisted. I then noticed that the two culprits were STILL ONLINE PLAYING, and asked "Is anyone going to at least BAN THE BITCHES that stole from me?"

[moderator] awesomealicia: we can't ban them if there's no proof
[moderator] DeadlyLead101: no.


Alright, so wtfe then. This is the first time I've played on an open server besides my own, so I've done everything requested of me; I've invested in protection stones for all of my property (except ONE 12 x 12 block space), I signed up on the site, I've voted everyday to assist the site since I joined, and this is how you treat your members? I wonder what kind of shit the [Trusted] members have went through to get that far, I'm not exactly game to continue to have my things taken from me ESPECIALLY when I have stones around my shit in the first place! How did they get to my animals? My protection stone covers the entirety of my barn! It sounds like a faulty mechanic to me, and now I have to go walk all over god's green earth and hope some are still spawned in the wild to replace them? Why are the mods so free to ban trolls and spammers and "griefers", but not thieves that I literally watched in the act? Why not take some of us honest players at our word? I was asked why didn't I take a screenshot while he was killing my animals, and it's because it's a still-frame image of something that was over in literally ten seconds! A picture would have done me no fucking good, especially if "oh man, his hand isn't raised how can you prove he was swinging at them and not just standing there", which is likely the bs answer I would have gotten anyway.

45 minutes after the incident at the time I posted this, and the culprits are still playing. I tried one last shot at getting a solid answer without being blown off, I told Drowse I had my entire barn griefed, and waited 6 minutes for a reply. I was ignored. If no one is going to justify this, you just lost a member.

Nick3306:
We do not replace animals because we cannot be sure that you are telling the truth about how many animals you had. Sure a lot of players are trustworthy, but others are not and would easily exploit this by saying someone killed animals they did not have. That is just our policy on this server, I am really sorry that you are upset about it, but that is what we must do.

SalasCraft:
Another thing, you can tell a Mod to look at the grief, and we can ban and undo the actions of the players.

Psiiche:
Alright, I can understand that, thank you for at least explaining to me that animals are untrackable. I also know they roll back griefs on property because I had my 58-plot sugarcane farm wiped out when I first started, and they fixed it. What irks me about this situation was the fact that when I was asking for my bedroom to be unwrecked, though 7+ OP's/mods were on no one seemed to want to help (maybe because I was chewing the griefers out over chat, I don't know). I'm not even concerned now with fixing my room, the damage to that was miniscule in comparison to my sheep farm, which supplied the wool to even rebuild my freakin' room.

Also, I did ask if the two were going to be banned for stealing from me (not just my animals, but stealing my torches/beds/wall/etc from my room, and some wheat from my farm), and like first post says, they replied with "not enough proof", even though blocks are traceable. The thieves were in chat asking for food and a room to rent no later than 20 mins after griefing me, and when I called them out on it and alerted people to them being thieves I got told to stop. The OP's just weren't interested in the proof in the block damage, then? Sorry if I was out of line for alerting the rest of the population to griefers.

DJAlphaWolf:
I am extremely sorry this happened. These are just the kind of things that griefers can get away with but because of limited proof, there is absolutely nothing moderators can do about it. Do not be mad at the moderators as they are just following server policy, and may have been busy at the time you asked them.

If you want, I can help you search for some animals for your barn so you can restore it. I suggest also creating fence posts around the animals (alot like a cage) and trapping them all in there. then place a protection stone around it. That way, only you can enter without any problems. I've had to do this on other servers before to prevent grief and it was a mostly successful idea (they didn't have protection stones but when the fence posts were griefed, I had proof they were there).

I'd be willing to help you out completely during your entire reconstruction process. ;D
