One thing that irrationally gets on my nerves:
--- Quote ---It took me ten minutes of privately messaging moderators to get any reply [which was just a hello, then they continued to overlook me.]
--- End quote ---
PMing a mod is not how to get help. Since we are truly overrun by players sometimes, we use a custom client plugin that visually alerts mods when somebody needs help by searching for specific words in normal chat (and /helpop, the designated command to attempt to get a mods attention). PMing a mod only wastes time anyways; simply saying your question in main chat opens it up to be answered by any moderator, any trusted member, any regular member, and any guest, who may happen to know the answer. Moderators are not the only people able to answer basic questions about the server.
Additionally, The way you state the moderator replied to you (a simple "hello") implies that, rather than outright stating what you needed help with, you decided to greet the moderator in a PM before asking your question. Sorry, but that is not going to get you any answers. When there are this many people online, the mods pick out the people who succinctly and specifically state what they need help, teleport to them, get the job done, and move on to the next person.
Sorry, but you have no room to complain about the mods with the way you ask for help. Maybe you could pull that off on your little 20 player server, but not here.
Given the fact that your server's forum was hosted at a free host ("http://houseofphlegm.lefora.com") and you closed it down because "This forum sucks and I no longer care." I'd be willing to bet you ran of server 20 people online, max. That, and the first words of your various server information pages are "Low population" (http://servers.spout.org/info/922)("http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/984703-house-of-phlegm-premium-11-247-low-pop-survival/"))
The problems you've stated are true and we are aware of them and working on them, as optical said, but your claim to be a "former server owner" is completely irrelevant because you didn't truly run anything. You aren't a developer. You aren't an experienced administrator. You're just a guy who threw plugins on a host and called it a server and now thinks he's entitled to something.
Thanks.

Thank you, thank you... *bows*
I'd also like to make the additional observation that I believe we can all plainly see what kind of a player this person is. He's spammed the forums with this topic, obviously pissed off mods in-game, was very disrespectful on his own "site". Obviously an individual who has a lot to learn about internet etiquette, and the last person you would want to host a server.
My server, to put it in deject3d's terms, wasn't anything more than a "little 20 player server" but I always treated my players, mods, and admins with the level of professionalism a host of a 300 player server should display. We were always trying new innovations and working directly with developers to create plugins that improved things on the back-end. It's a lot easier to deploy an "experimental" plugin on a small server than a large one.
When it came to my mods, they were always selected to ensure they could not only handle the task but that they could handle little bothersome people like you (darkphlegm) in a professional manor. That's why I can classify myself as a former server owner. You were just a kid running a little multiplayer game with some plugins... You obviously didn't work on development. You obviously didn't contribute to the plugin list. More than likely you couldn't build anything decent without creative mode (and it's even questionable there too). You're just a hobbiest, as it were.
It's people like you that make it hard for people like me to become trusted on servers like this.
Hasan (Tabooti):
I was contacted by Mr. DarkPhlegm ingame, and he kindly asked me to teleport him to 20,000 blocks away from the towns, because it was all griefed...
I told him that I can't do it, and that he'd actually have to walk, he later responded criticizing me, and saying "Do I apear like a 12 year old moron asking for teleportations? And why can't you teleport someone who wants to get to his friends?"
I responded with "You can always /home (your friends name) The get there quickly.
Then he insisted that I answer his 12 year old question.
I told him, that IF I wanted to answer that, I would have, but it would be strictly unprofessional, so I didn't.
He never responded after that.
What I've experianced, plus what he posted on this thread. Makes this all apear like subjective criticism, that's aimed at the staff, rather than how they work, and operate.
And as Mr. Teller has once said, "You can't try something out for 5 minutes, and conclude it's results like someone who has been doing it for a very long time"

I wholeheartedly agree with all of your post, but this more than the rest.
