HearthCraft SMP (1.20): A no-griefing, no-resets economy experience

I'm going to add some clarity since this accusation has a lot of backstory.

The player above, dndog, was banned in June of last year. The reasons for the ban include inappropriate behavior, doxxing and threats of doxxing players. There was also an instance of him telling a player to unalive himself.

The player gave the server raving reviews multiple times until their behavior got out of hand and were subsequently punished and then banned from the server.


The accusations of the staff being toxic in private chats may or may not be true. People voice their displeasure about other people all the time. Its human nature. The difference is that we don't allow our personal bias effect our "job" as staff on the server. We don't punish players *more* because we personally don't like them, nor do we favor other players because we like them. There are plenty of players on the server that the staff consider friends, who have been punished for breaking the server rules. These people still play and can vouch to that fact.

So the accusation of staff being toxic, in my opinion, is a completely moot point. Players are toxic in private chats as well. Players are toxic towards staff in public chats. That's how the internet works. Again, the staff don't (or try not to) let their displeasure control how they present themselves on the server.

Its humorous to see Dndog saying "fuck you" to me after he admitted to, and tried to justify himself doxxing another person because he felt like he needed it. Its humorous that he calls us toxic, when he has told someone to unalive themselves because of a minecraft dispute. If we're toxic, then DnDog is beyond what toxic is defined as.

We don't threaten players. We don't doxx players. We don't sling profanity at players. DnDog is the one that does that to staff as well as other players who have done no wrong.

Are the staff on Hearthcraft perfect? Obviously not. But are we terrible people that treat our players unfairly and create a toxic environment?I would say no. We do our best to foster a welcoming community.

All I ask from anyone reading this is to take this review with a grain of salt. This former player was incredibly toxic, and downright mean to many people.

If you want to know what type of community and staff team we have, I would suggest coming to take a look for yourself. A review from someone who tried to doxx someone out of spite shouldn't be taken heavily.

To you, Dn, I hope you've gotten better since the last time we talked.
