Something has recently come to mine, as well as some other staff's attention that needs to be dealt with. Please read this article. This applies to both Creative AND SMP, as well as any other server you play on.
So basically, since this is the second time it's occurred while I've been on, I as well as Alicia agree that you all need to be informed about this "scam," of sorts.
Basically, in both instances a new player joined the server and asked for a staff member. They both said "I found a book on the ground. Can you read it?" or something along those lines. Please heed my advice: DO NOT OPEN THE BOOK!
Hacked Clients make it possible to send you to websites, or make you execute commands in Minecraft.
In the first instance, two players read the book. Both said that their iTunes Account was opened up.
In the second instance, the player was asking for an Admin to see the book, so we assume he was trying to Force OP.
Please take precautions when dealing with players in game who do this, and try to prevent others from making this mistake as well.
Please spread the word to prevent this from becoming a problem. If you see someone in chat doing this, take a screenshot and report it to me or a staff member as soon as possible.
Thanks for your time,
