Possible Server Release

As anyone looking at the topic about creating a village in the server software has seen, I am thinking of offering my server (that is currently running the Mines of Moria) as a white-listed server. I will probably not release this as a white-list server publicly until I am finished with the Mines. I may offer a few people private invites before then. This thread will be to discuss what kinds of rules would be appropriate on the server. Some ground rules that go without say I will list here so that they need not be suggested, and the mods that are installed on the server will probably not be changed. I may implement iConomy, though I will probably not and people will just need to ask for exotic materials. I may implement VoxelBorders. I will probably disable my WorldEdit plugin when I am done with the Mines, or at the very least, keep it admin-only. Now onto the obvious rules.
There will be no griefing of any kind. People who grief will be name and ip-banned. Those who damage the projects that I am working on will have the same ban with no appeal. There will be no tolerance for duping, There will be no tolerance for theft. There will be no random outsiders, this will be a white-list only server with user permission levels to be set by me. Any attempt to circumvent my control of the server or perform any type of DoS attack will be punished. The punishment for all of the above except for the DoS attack is the double banhammer (name and ip) and I will prosecute for DoS attacks. This may sound all bad and death, but i expect almost everyone on this website to be level-headed and not desire to grief/destroy the server. If the server is placed live before the major projects are completed, I will shut the server down and perform a manual backup of the world, and should significant damage be incurred, the server will be taken down and restored, with the white-list reverting to personal, i know you in real life, invites. My server currently has all mobs, peaceful and hostile, disabled, though the peaceful ones may be turned back on. There is currently invincibility enabled on the server for safety reasons during the building process. If anyone has any ideas on some rules, post them below. Remember that this does not guarantee that I will be letting people into the server, it is just to see what people think. Please do not post that it would be awesome. It is always awesome to have someone host a server.

HOLY CRAP!!1!
My server is up and public-ish using the same group permissions that I crafted for Skullcandy and the public server he runs. If you would like to help with building the Mines of Moria, let me know. The server groups are set so that new people are nobuild so that I can protect my stuff and get to know people. I can set you to a vip builder status after i know you and I hope that you have fun on my server. Read the small set of rules on the server page here at PMC.

@Zeranny, thanks for the look at the harbor using my pack. Just remember that my pack is mostly hacking things together and making them work. Most of the art was that of other people, though i credited them and did make modifications and additions.
For everyone else including you:
I agree with the no dynamite rule, which i can add on the item blacklists, i hope. never thought of the towers thing and my thought is make them sand scaffolds if you need to (pillar of sand resting on a torch). I also agree with the leaving people be. Most people will not need the /give command and if you need materials, the excavation storage chamber would be open for use with people that need it. I would probably make the toolshed off limits and make a public forge or something, since the toolshed is for the Moria and other projects. I also agree with the the leaving people's projects alone, though i hope that everyone will allow others to at least look. Projects should be marked by signs (you know that ones that you see in YouTube videos that say keep out WIP), though I hope that most of them will be of the WIP without the keep out. I am fine with people saying to keep out while something is being built, though i wonder what everyone would feel about me visiting projects to look at them, keep out or otherwise, to see how it is going and ask you about them and if you needed any special materials. For special materials I am thinking things like nether blocks, mossy cobble, and similar natural but hard to get materials. I think one of my mods allows me to make chests that are bottomless for non-admins so i might just fill some with that stuff. I really prefer to harvest everything by hand, as you can see in my texture pack, i dumped everything into lava when i was done. I might start letting a few people come in to help me with Moria (since some people have either offered directly or asked to have a project to work on) sometime next week after the death of finals and projects abates. I will probably just move the spawn point and post a wall of signs like I have seen on other servers, listing the rules and such. I will also have a list of allowed warps and a list of off-limits warps, so that people who use the listing command do not see a bunch of new warps that were not listed and fly off. I am also thinking that it would be nice to require some type of road system, whether it be a 3-wide stretch of gravel or cobble or something between areas so that everyone can find everything. Also, for the sake of my server and harddrive, I would like it when i put this up for people to avoid travelling for 23 days into the wilderness because then the world map will look like squid and the map files will be huge.
Anyway, Thoughts?

Those rules sound fair and sensible + Zeranny that also sounds like a plan

Yey a server >.>
I have an idea - since some of us have ssp projects (like me and skull) could some of us be given the /give or /item command if possible - just to be a better use of time.
Just a thought.
Offtopic: testing your texture pack today - will give feedback

Cool thread and hope this happens.
Another rule could be no 1x1 towers but I think that people on this site have common sense.
Another rule could be no tnt?
And the last other rule I have thought of is dont interupt other peoples creations(like if you dont want help with you mines of moria project we will leave it be.)
