Banned from Minecraft Something Super Awesome Server

For the last couple of days I’ve been playing on a new minecraft server I found called “Something Super Awesome”, I’ve really been enjoying this server, and was ready to donate near enough straight away, however I noticed you had to wait 1 week or be recommended before you could donate any money, fair enough I thought, I shall wait, I didn’t want to donate for the benefits so had no rush, I just wanted to show my appreciation with a donation, just how donations should be thought as.

Today I spent a crazy amount of hours in the game. First I constructed my house on top of a hill, a little out of the way of everyone else, and left signs welcoming everyone, after constructing my house and building some hill top tunnels to get to it quicker. Then I decided to start mining various tunnels underground looking for diamonds and other such blocks & items, I decided to follow the borders of the the maps spawn point, in the hope of meeting new people, and as hopped I met quite a few people along the way and everyone seemed very nice.

While continuing my mining I came acrosss quite a lot of different types of blocks and items and even found a dungeon (mob spawner with chests), I then came across someones tunnels they had made and connected them to mine, I went to explore theirs and ended up in someones hidden house with lots and lots of hidden items (very rare to not rare at all), of course I decided to leave them all, and left a sign letting the person known that it was a nice hiding place and I had not took  anything and which way my place was if they would like to visit, at the end of their tunnel i left another sign pointing in the right direction, my hope was to make a minecraft friendship!

I carried on my mining and hours latter ended up back at place to find that someone had build a house in the sky and connected it up to mine, I thought sky bridges were not aloud so I left a sign saying welcome and who I am and who are they? once again to try and make friends. From here I went for a wander and hoped my tunnels would be ok with the admins, I know the rules said not to use tunnels or something as driveways. Can’t remember the exact phrase now.

When I came back I decided to go back down to my tunnels and found someone saying in the chat that OMG someone had put cobblestone down this far, I thought I bet that’s mine as I could see their name on the map in the distance, I run down and found that indeed it was my cobblestone I joked saying “oi where you of too” he said he thought it was a dungeon, I said hi back to him and then went back down and connected up the double stair pathway he had build to my single pathway and ensured my sign was in place as to not confuse people.

After this I decided what to do next, and BOOM i was kicked and banned from the server!

I was very confused so I immediately posted a polite message on their forums asking why I had been banned, I even signed it Kind Regards. However an hour or so latter 10 views and no reply. Then BOOM i was banned from the forum and my post deleted. Unfortunately I do not have a copy of the message and google or any other search engine has not cached it.

Now don’t get me wrong if I’ve done something wrong then fair enough ban then they can ban me if they wish, it’s their minecarft world server after all, and I know one of the signs and the spawn area said they don’t care if you are banned or not or something like that, but  at least have the decency to tell me why you have banned me, especially if I have asked, you don’t have any rules on the forums at all and no contact info not even a WHOIS gave me any info so that’s why I posted there.

Anyhow if any of the admins are reading this and I hope you are – please could you tell me honestly what I did wrong – without trying to pin something else on me with what I’ve told you already!

It’s a shame you banned me – I really did want to give that donation – and further more and I’m not just saying this, if after a while I could trust your server and the people running it I was going to ask yourselves if you would like Hosting + Invision Power Board as I have a Invision Power Board Perpetual License (lifetime license) that I haven’t used in ages since the last forums I ran it on and have been meaning for sometime to put it to good use.

Maybe I should just run my own deticated server…. *Rant Over*

For anyone else reading this, here’s there information:

Edit: My Minecraft server called: Yet Another Minecraft Server (YAMS) is now up.

Edit 17/08/2011: Due to a huge increase on new players joining, from time to time we may whitelist the server. If you try and get on but you are not whitelisted please be sure to sign up to the forums at http://www.darrenstraight.com/minecraft/index.php?/forum/11-introduce-and-whitelist-yourself/ where you can read our welcome topic and introduce/whitelist yourself, pretty much all we need from you is your’re Minecraft Username. If you have facebook you can use that to sign in to the forums.

Why just a moment ago I got banned for telling people to leave my house on that same server. I made a four story pagoda and then the server crashed. I came back a few hours later and some people had moved in destroying all the signs I put up, which clearly stated my creation of the house, In four languages no less. When I found this out I asked the people to leave and got banned by bloody_rampage.

[…] Banned from Minecraft Something Super Awesome Server […]

SSA ADMIN January 2, 2011 at 7:40 am

You were banned for the holes right at the end of spawn road going down to your big tunnels that completely surrounded spawn. Hope that clarifies things for you.

Darren Straight January 3, 2011 at 8:40 pm

Thanks for that, I didnt make the tunnels at the end of the roads though, in fact I patched loads of holes I found at the end of the roads as well as getting rid of blocks people had placed blocking the roads which clearly says don’t see. Maybe next time someone should ask!!!

SSA ADMIN January 4, 2011 at 9:49 am

Too bad we can see who places and destroys every block.

Sonicfast01 January 9, 2011 at 2:00 pm

I was just banned from that server too. I spent the time to make a two story house, farm and an underground storage unit. But when me and my friend went to make a tunnel connecting our two houses, I got banned. I didn’t do anything wrong as far as I know. I was following rules and wasn’t griefing, seeing as how I hate griefing. I wasn’t being mean to ther member either. I apologize if I did anything wrong. Please let me back on.

B3RyL January 12, 2011 at 11:15 pm

@SSA ADMIN: Well, if you can’t really pin it to this guy, why go all postal and ban him?!? That’s outrageous! And why ban me?!?!?! Almost the same story, only I was banned after just 5 hours of playtime! And all I did was I tried to build a house at the very corner of the map. Why ban? No tunnels, no treehouses, no roads, no griefing, no cobble, no dirt houses, no nothing! I haven’t violated even ONE rule you posted and you banned me anyway! And same story – when I kindly asked on the forums for the reasons, why I was banned, I was banned from the forums AS WELL!!! Why?!?! Why, why, why?!?!?!? Is that your way of dealing with overpopulation? Cause I clearly recall one of your rules saying: “no discrimination etc…” and what YOU just did was discriminate us, just because we’re new to your server! Sorry for the outburst, I had to let down some steam. Now… we all know why the guys above got banned. But why was I banned as well? I did NOTHING even remotely THAT bad, to get me banned! So… Why?

B3RyL January 12, 2011 at 11:19 pm

Ahh… Disregard that last post… I’m just tired… And I don’t like being spit in the face and not even hear a reason for it…

Thetubbe January 13, 2011 at 10:23 pm

I got banned from that server not too long ago too! I had built a house out of smooth stone and made some redwiring for some doors with a nice Fellow named KingFish and then while patching up some holes I noticed in front of my house I noticed a dude spawn on me and I thought it was odd so I turned to look at my house and it was gone!

After saying something about it in chat some dude claimed that my house was probably destroyed for being made of cobblestone I assured him I had made it from smoothstone and I even had 3 stacks left over! But he was adamant in his attempts to convince me otherwise right as I was about to drop the whole thing and build a new house I was muted so I thought what ever I was about to call it off anyways so I found a nice location and started work on a new house! after building a nice tower and installing a combination lock door with redstone far superior to its predecessor I got banned

I tried to be as calm as possible giving the guy the option that he may have been mistaken for someone else’s house that was made of cobblestone and recently destroyed. (cause I’m pretty sure mine was done by a griefer, and given the amount of time I was on before my house was destroyed and the fact I had not seen this guy on before I doubt he had enough time to see my house.)

Darren Straight January 14, 2011 at 4:42 pm

Hey everyone, sorry to here you have all been banned too! 🙁 I decided to start my own deticated server last week, unfortunetly I’ve had no Internet for the last week, well not decent enough (cable problems in road!?) so I’m starting there – I wont complain and do nothing – I complain and do something! 🙂

KingFish I’m sure that’s the name of the one of the people that helped me put torches up he was very freindly and helpful.

IP Coming soon if anyone interested. A minecraft server for my blog visitors and to those who have just had enough of server banning them for no reason.

Thetubbe January 14, 2011 at 8:34 pm

haha yeah i found this blog by searching “Something super awesome” in google

SSA ADMIN January 14, 2011 at 11:57 pm

“@SSA ADMIN: Well, if you can’t really pin it to this guy, why go all postal and ban him?!? ”

I believe I said that we can see every block placed or destroyed so we are completely confident in our bans. We are a very strict server.

Thetubbe January 15, 2011 at 8:34 pm

So the fact that you don’t see every block placed assures you that your guesses as to who places the blocks are correct? While you strictly guess and ban people on a whim?

aphilosopher January 17, 2011 at 10:38 am

just now i also was banned from something awesome server,

i entered their server upon being recomended by a friend, within 30-60 seconds i was banned, i hadnt even walked 50 blocks from spawn, that was the only time i ever loged into that server,, i then posted on their forums a post almost identical to this one,

and all they did was ban me from the forums,

whats the reason here? if you could see who touched each block youd know i’ve never touched a single one in your server yet, why was i banned?

aphilosopher January 17, 2011 at 10:39 am

btw when i logged into their server all i was able to type was “:) hello” before they banned me, i hadnt typed anything else,

nor did i even get a response

SSA ADMIN January 17, 2011 at 10:50 am

So the fact that you don’t see every block placed assures you that your guesses as to who places the blocks are correct? While you strictly guess and ban people on a whim?

Sigh, you really just can’t read can you?

I said TWICE now, that we CAN, I repeat, CAN, not to be confused with CAN’T, see every block placed and destroyed.
I’ll say it again because you are obviously stupid.
WE ******CAN****** SEE EVERY BLOCK PLACED AND DESTROYED.

SSA ADMIN January 17, 2011 at 10:51 am

Also aphilosopher you were using hacks. gtfo.

aphilosopher January 17, 2011 at 11:08 am

what the hell man i can garuantee you i wasnt and am not using hacks, what makes you think im hacking?

dude i was a moderator on my last server for 4 months, i know what its like trying to keep a server legit, i like that idealogy, but seriously you dont have to be ban happy, that isnt gonna help, and this is a perfect example, seeing as how,

I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO HACK NOR WOULD I TRY IT CAUSE I KNOW SERVERS CAN DETECT SUCH CRAP,

i’ve never even looked up a file to download such hacks, wont makes you think i hacked?

aphilosopher January 17, 2011 at 11:23 am

you wanna come see me on my old server? its not down yet but will be by end of month, i can show you my builds there would that comfort you?

SSA ADMIN January 17, 2011 at 11:23 am

The fact that you were flying around the map lol.

SSA ADMIN January 17, 2011 at 11:24 am

because hackers cant built? lol. Just find a different server. Our number 1 rule is that all bans are final.

aphilosopher January 17, 2011 at 11:33 am

i wasnt flying around the server dude, this is nuts, your so arrogant,

are you gonna tell me you dont even know how to detect hackers with your server? thats pretty f’in lame of you,

if you had such ability you could assure yourself i am not running any hacks, i know other servers have such abilitys, worked with em myself,

if your realy not openminded enough to even hear out someone you unjustifiably banned, then your just a douchbag who’s hopeless,

btw i have atleast 5 friends i know that frequent ur server, no longer,

SSA ADMIN January 17, 2011 at 7:04 pm

Im so sad – I might go cry, really. Some hacker on the internet called me a douchebag. Its my server, I dont need a reason to ban anyone. Fuck off.

aphilosopher January 18, 2011 at 1:42 pm

sarcasm, insincerity, arrogance,

you realy think your incapable of error? you realy think theres no way you might actualy have banned the wrong person? a statement like “all bans final” sure indicates that.

snd the fact you still label me a hacker proves to me your ego and concsious need to actualy believe that was the case, your to much of a fool to accept you could be wrong, in the fact IM NO HACKER,

whats more you just banned another friend of mine who’s such a damn noob he cant even start up his own pc without help half the time, im sure you prob think he’s a hacker too? his name was rickers370

your such an idiot to accuse someone of hacking when you have no idea if they actualy are,

you must not have read me typ this next part, as i have TWICE NOW

servers can be modified to detect hacking, if you werent such a fucking idiot you would have this on your own server and this never woulda happened, i never woulda been banned, because the technology would have made up for your own error, and told you clearly, im not hacking.

only a fucking arrogant fool acts the way you have good luck with your pathetic life, useless piece of shit

btw, i could give a fuck about gettin back in your server, its your dumbass attitude thats realy a bother,

aphilosopher January 18, 2011 at 2:22 pm

btw, your also clearly a coward to ban me from your forums, all that could happen there is discussion, and you can clearly see by my first post i was more then intent on keepin it civil and polite,

here ill copy paste that first post in case you didnt actualy read it before you deleted it

“hello i just joined the forums here to ask why i myself have also been banned?

i only logged onto your server once and played for less then 60 seconds and was banned, what have i done? can i correct it? was it my skin? my skin is just some dude with blue eyes in a white robe, supposed to be a greek philosopher, is that offensive?

a friend of mine recomended to me this server, yet i havnt even seen it for a full minute before ban, if i could please come play on this server i might be willing to donate after i feel it out some,

i used to play on a diferent server for almost half a year but now they are shuting down, this is why i came here to find a new cool server ”

as you can see there is nothing uncouth about my post, and thus no reason for you to ban me from forums, that is unless your just a coward how doesnt want to face up to your own actions under the witness of your other server members,

such a disgrace you are to the human race, your one of those people that makes me regret being human. to damn selfish to realize life isn’t about yourself, individuality dies with you upon death, in this cosmos we all exist together, so when you treat people the way you do you show your own insecurities and faults

SSA ADMIN January 19, 2011 at 12:19 am

Lol k. You can believe what ever you want. I saw you flying around, you can tell me 100000 times that you weren’t hacking and I still won’t believe you. Also the ONLY way to detect hacks (such as flying and speed hacks) would be through a client mod.

Also, banned from game = banned from forums.

aphilosopher January 19, 2011 at 6:54 am

wrong about all three,

1: im not a hacker, and yes i wil say so each individual time you accuse me for the simple reason that im telling the truth,

2: you have to ban me individualy from server and forums it is not one shot, that should be obvious seeing as how i registered on your forums and posted a full 3 hrs after you banned me from the game server. and my post remained on your forums a good hr before you deleted it and banned me from there too.

3: servers CAN be modded to detect such hacks i witnessed it myself with the server i moderated on, once someone tried to log onto the server with any sorta hacks other then txt packs, the server automaticaly added them to the banned list, this was tried and tested by one of the other moderators of that server, btw 3 moderators for 5 months over 100 players on whitelist, and we only had a handfull of griefers in all its run time, we only had less then 5 on ban list after alll that time,

doesnt that spell out how much of a failure you are?

now on the point of you thinking you saw me flying, i’ll accept if you say you saw me moving about as if i were lagging because my only internet connection is with half a bar of wifi wich drops frequently, so thats probly what you saw, however if you think you actualy saw me go airborne or move faster then the game alots then you must MUST be mistaken,

maybe your client glitched or maybe you confused me with someone else, but i swear to a god i believe in i was not am not and will not hack EVER,

and i know i know your just gonna say you wont ever believe me i recognize that, arrogance.

My Minecraft Server – Cooming Soon! January 19, 2011 at 10:32 pm

[…] that I’m back online (see post here) and after being banned from a Minecraft Server (see post here), I was hoping to announce the launch of my Minecraft server – making the ip public today, […]

John the Miner January 19, 2011 at 11:26 pm

Funny, I got banned and I have never been on server 😛 lolz, kinda funny. Oh well… 🙁

SSA ADMIN January 20, 2011 at 3:46 am

“you have to ban me individualy from server and forums”

Yes, I meant that if we ban you on the server we will ban you on the forums, but we don’t really bother unless you post something.

Whitelists are premptively banning EVERYONE – doesnt that show how much of a failure you are? That you had to ban EVERYONE and then selectively unban them – thats effectively all a whitelist is.

aphilosopher January 20, 2011 at 8:38 am

yes but he had an autowhitlist, so technicaly no whitelist at all, all they had to do was come visiit and they would automaticaly be added to the whitelist, so it was technicaly open to all public.

SSA ADMIN January 20, 2011 at 7:42 pm

You obviously have no idea what a whitelist is. You have just erased any doubt that anyone had about you being full of shit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDW0ZnZxjn4

Thetubbe January 25, 2011 at 11:49 am

that is cute you posted a little link of willy wonka that legitimizes what you said because you used someone else’s material to emphasize your own statement even though you were clearly wrong on the matter or you didn’t read his post about his auto whitelist

tremor January 25, 2011 at 7:03 pm

Try Yet Another Survival Multiplayer Server. Pretty lax rules, PvP style, connect @ pwn9.com

aphilosopher January 29, 2011 at 2:51 pm

thank you thetubbe, you are right on,

ill retype it for him though, autowhitelist means its automatic, means no person does it manualy,

to elaborate, you go to minecraft multiplayer type into the address the server name which was advertised on minecraftforums, and the minecraft client replys to you please sign up at forums first, it gives you forums www address. anyone can go to em, sign up, (so long as you have an email address) and within 5 minutes you are automaticaly put onto the whitelist and can enter the server,

get it now or are you still loosing?

i am only explaining myself to show how lack of reason you yourself are, and full of reason i am, 🙂

thx tremor will check it out. 😀

Rubdoff February 3, 2011 at 7:16 am

I also got banned form this servr. So i told 4chan about it, and the b/rotherhood suited up and ddos the shit outta the server. we all had a good lawl.

rickers February 3, 2011 at 7:47 am

BWAHAHAHA thats hilarious!

ty much for such an awesome revenge,

kudos rubdoff,

let this be a messege that being an asshole on the internet is not without recourse.

nineinchnails February 3, 2011 at 7:53 am

i just logged into this server for the very first time ever, my friend told me bout it,

within 3 seconds, no more, i was banned,

i literaly couldnt even turn my characters head before i had already been banned,

what the hell could be your excuse this time for this ban?

unreasonable and banhappy is a very good way to define the mods/admins of this server,

somethingsuperawesome, ya right, wishfull thinking, should be called

somethingsupershitty, or somethingsuperstupid.

why the hell do you advertise that your server is 100% public, and no whitelist, if you dont even let anybody on the dam thing.

nineinchnails February 3, 2011 at 7:55 am

somethingsuperawfull would let you keep your abberviation the same,

Prodigy9 February 5, 2011 at 7:04 am

Sure wish I would’ve found this blog before I joined the server, built for several hours, had my buildings erased, and had the admins (led, of course, by bloodynightmare) tell me “lol we don’t have any logs to show who did it, i guess it was ninjas!”

Kudos to Rubdoff though. A little retaliation was certainly warranted.

SSA ADMIN February 5, 2011 at 8:09 am

Kudos to rubdoff for failing to do anything. I concur. Retaliation for letting you play on our server? This is hardware owned and operated by us. We expect people to follow rules, if you don’t like the rules than don’t play on our server. But don’t get all pissed off when you get banned, get over it and find a new server. I fail to see how people justify committing a criminal offense (ddos IS illegal folks) because they got banned from a single game server. But hey, it’s cool.

Liam February 5, 2011 at 10:36 am

Same here, Got banned after making a public mine, as deep as it after two days, logged back on, Banned.

Liam February 5, 2011 at 10:40 am

I suggest that nobody even attempts to go on that server, Good server awful mods.

nineinchnails February 7, 2011 at 2:30 pm

oh you only ban people who break rules huh? is that right? theres like 10 people here asking what rule did they break and you still havnt answered them,

cause your just a ban happy lier, they didnt break any rules you just like to ban.

SSA ADMIN February 8, 2011 at 6:07 am

They would know what rules they broke if they read the damn rules. Am I really expected to remember the reasons for every single ban? Because I have no intention of trying.

Liam February 8, 2011 at 8:54 pm

Sorry, But last time i checked, Logging off or mining is not a rule. >.>

anonymous February 11, 2011 at 11:12 pm

And then….
BOOM,your account here will be bannd too XD

me February 12, 2011 at 1:32 pm

Wtf i got banned for no reason at all. i logged in and then
it showed rules in front of me and then i turned my heam and BOOM. i was banned

Liam February 12, 2011 at 3:22 pm

Me, turning your head is a rule on that god damn server.

Jonieye February 15, 2011 at 11:23 am

I was also just banned from this server. I went on earlier in the day, read all the rules, headed out. Got to the border where noone else had built, and made a wooden hut, with a glass garage. I replanted all trees I cut down, even going so far as making a forest for each tree. I was griefed once but someone who knew an online admin helped me out to get rid of the griefer. I then try to log back on a few hours later, and banned. Can’t post on their new forums since I don’t have permissions
