Wassup. It's MarcoPolo84 here again to complain about things that just tick me off. Hopefully, some of you guys feel my pain. If this annoys you, click the 'DIAMOND' button right now. Anyways, I'll cut to the chase.

I get extreamely annoyed when people create a server and then they submit it to Planet Minecraft or some other server list, and put little to no effort into it. I have done several blogs on how to make a good server because of my experience and mistakes I have made. I have seen servers where people make a screenshot of a small house with them in it. Then, they post that onto PMC expecting to get a butt ton of players. I have no probem with new servers but I can't stand when there are very low quality ones. I don't mean ones with no players. Those servers are just new servers. I am talking about servers that took little to no time to create. Some people actually go onto the forum asking people to host a server for them for FREE?!? This just boggles my mind.

Many people want to create a server even though they have NO experience or knowedge of this and the responsibility it takes to startup a server. Some people just expect peopel to crawl to them as if they want water to help them with their server. I once went onto a server and said I was a griefer and I was going to grief them as a joke. Turns out, that server kicks everyone off unless they have coding knowledge. These people probably could not code at all of even knew how to make a decent server. I spawned and it was just a regular survival world with no spawn or anything. It is becoming difficult to find a good, small server to play of with all the annoying Factions servers and just plain bad servers. I hope you guys agree with me.

If there is one piece of advice I can give you, it's that you should not create a server until you have been a staff member on a server. Being a staff member is kind of like running a server, but not as much responsibility as a server owner. You should go find a good server run by good people, can apply for staff. You will learn how Minecraft servers work and how they are managed before you go create your own. This is some advice that I should have followed a long time ago. Unless you are a graphic artist, ultimate Minecrafter, coder, and hardcore builder, you are going to need friends to help you. Anyways, thanks for reading and look out for more rant blogs and regular blogs! I am currently working on a yacht but I may abandon that project because it doesn't look too good. See you guys next time!

Edit: I have created at least 5 Minecraft Servers in the past 4 years I have been playing. I have had 0 success, and I think these servers are just too high maintenance to handle. I am just going to stick to being a staff member on a server or not at all. I have also removed my server from PMC.

I understand it... the servers I am admin on - I'm always trying to improve them...but somewhere is a limit of the quality from your server and you'll need for anything you want to improve, so don't set you standards too high.
But I know there are people that have no ideas how to manage or make their server...
they are like: "hello i has made a server join it and pay me money" and mostly the servers of these people aren't very different than tons of other servers of this kind.
In my experience I would say the best way to make your server be nice is just knowing a lot of different people like you said graphic artists, coders or builders...these people are the most important members you can have on your server.

At least they're wasting their own time and/or money (or possibly their parents') to upkeep these servers. It's their loss.

ikr. most people  these days don't even know what the difference is between a external and internal ip which is probably one of the most important things you should know. It just makes me laugh when a server has a thing is their buycraft store that costs more then the game its self. Back then servers were way simpler

Remember. You always start small. Getting minecraft in 2010 and getting a server 2 months in, there was no server lists. This rant  is good but you have to remember that these are probably kids and have only started new. Maybe they have not noticed your server tips? I do admit it would be better if they made a decent post like mine for example.
