I know there's some REALLY stupid rules. I know because I've seen a few. So, lets see what you've seen, what are some rules that you've seen in servers that you just shook your head at before disconnecting from the server?

I've been in a lot of servers run by people who do whatever they wanna do, so I have quite an amount

- Op cannot admin abuse but can use op to help people like themselves
Yeah it's still op abuse, server died really quickly



- Do not grief or hack
seems normal, but this rule was in an anarchy server.



- No griefing the buildings that I made. You can however grief other people’s houses/bases.
Kinda unfair ngl


- (They didn't even write any rules)
When asked where / what the rules were, they said "you should already know the rules without needing to read them".
????????



- Report to owner if you see an op admin abusing.
So I did, with screenshots of heavy admin abuse (bedrock structure floating in sky with man-made end portal, creative mode ops respawning ender dragon) but none of the owners replied to me, like they didn't care at all?



I can't remember any more, but I'm pretty sure there's a few more I missed.

gonna bump this again, but this is the last time. not even really a rule but how a rule is enforced

if you're able to prevent something you don't want, don't punish if the plugin picks something up. for example if you have a no swearing rule, add a chat manager plugin, and when that plugin manager tells you someone used a banned word, don't punish them for it because the system already did.

I was on a server once, and there was a “NO CAPS IN CHAT” rule. It was a server with about 10 people and I got permbanned for putting one word in caps. The server was a box server on minehut.

I'll never understand having a no caps rule, literally it's JUST caps, sure it can make you seem like you're yelling but sometimes it's for emphasis, and some proper nouns are in all caps, or acronyms, there's really no reason to ban all caps.

No redstone.
I used to play on this server with land claim and every time anyone built a redstone machine even if it caused no lag it would be destroyed, it happened so often that that your now not able to even place redstone.

I was already banned from a game server because I expressed my opinion, several players in that game were teasing me on the server chat, I had said something about something else, and then they were teasing me, as if I had been "cringe", so I gave my opinion on what they did, I didn't offend anyone, and then what happened? They banned me for "giving an opinion on something that had Staff involved" because Staff was also provoking me.

Also, on this server, using a hack can get you banned for 1 day, but cursing an admin just once for "son of *****" gets you banned permanently.

for some reason, when I try to change my name to "Triangulum598" from "Triangulum2019", it says it's an inappropriate name

no one else has it, it doesn't have any bad words in it

how the bloody hell does it get filtered?

thankfully though my oc's name (Elicia) isn't censored that I know of

I'm gonna bump the post a little by posting some of, in my opinion, the stupidest rules ever that just give the staff WAY TOO MUCH POWER.

"Staff have final say."

this one is somewhat understandable, though it should come with exceptions and ability to fight the offense if you feel it wasn't true. not only that, but it shouldn't come with punishment, just a clause stating that punishments are final and can only be undone after an appeal. HOWEVER, the rest of these, just why would you put them here unless you want moderators to be literal god?

"Don't argue with staff."

listen, don't make staff this always-right entity that never does any wrong. if the entire community is against a call they made, then most likely it was a bad call. you don't have to listen to the community inherently, you just have to let them say what they will. otherwise, staff aren't afraid of their reputation as a staff member in the community, because anyone that disagrees with them is actually breaking the rules! this rule is just a cop-out for having bad moderators, and if you need this rule because people keep arguing with staff, you need to reevaluate who you're giving staff to.

"Respect staff."

typically, in the wording, this one would be fine. HOWEVER, this then opens the door to staff just banning whoever they don't like and calling staff disrespect. not only that, but staff members should just be a member of the community that has the ability to uphold the rules, nothing more. having this rule exempts them from criticism, argument, and ANY form of defense from the member(s), which in my eyes, should never be a thing.

do you understand how many times people have gotten banned because they did nothing, got warned, said something like "I didn't do that", then got hit with "Don't argue with staff.", expressed displeasure in the staff that moderated them unfairly, and got a staff disrespect charge added to that? it's stupid, it assumes that staff members make no mistakes, and it takes power away from the community. which, fun fact, if you don't have people in your community that enjoy your community, you don't have a community.
