beastogk also please

[Zoop]

Onlinebaas, have you even read what the rules for signup is? If you don't even make an effort to do something as simple as reading the OP, you can hardly expect to be whitelisted.

Sorry to bug everyone with this, but I had a bit of trouble joining the server today, it told me I was not whitelisted. I was wondering if someone could please add me to the whitelist. I applied earlier on page one, but I guess I havn't been added.

My username for Minecraft is: Shad0wstr1k3

Thanks, and sorry for all the bother.

[GeometriX]

Ah, sorry about that. You've been added now.

[Shad0wstr1k3]

Cool, thanks! See you online!

Ravage509 liking to sign up please.

I realize that I do not have very many posts but please make an exception, I been a member since 2007 :). The 100 posts thing I would think would encourage people to spam rubbish on the forums just to get up to that amount, and that I'm sure people know isn't quite appropriate.

Nope. That would result in a ban, meaning that person won't get on Minecraft anyhow. The mods aren't that daft you know? :P

[ravage509]

Why does it have to be so hard to get access to a local minecraft server? : (

[Toxxyc]

Because resources are limited, and if you limit your access you gain quality material and workmanship. Public servers are public for a reason - everyone just jumps in a griefs where they want, steal, destroy, etc. etc. Though through following this thread from the start, the NAG private server isn't much different... ^.^

[ravage509]

Guess it's time to sit down and posts some random valid posts : / not keen on this.

[GeometriX]

No, it's time to become a meaningful contributor to the forums. If the idea doesn't appeal to you, then I suggest you don't waste your time.

[Zoop]

The point is that you should be a valid contributer to the forums, not someone who reaches the mininum requirements for the server and then never returns to the forums.

[ravage509]

Hey i'm not trying to step on toes, so I am sorry if anyone has taken any of my posts the wrong way. I been a follower and contributor of NAG for many years even if it hasn't been forum related, if I had more time on my hands to sit on the page and read all the posts I probably would contribute more.

With any luck this time next year I might have enough posts to my name. Once again I am sorry if I have stepped on toes it was not intentional.

You're still not getting it...

Post count mean little. What is aimed through the post count requirement is that when you eventually have 100 posts, chances are large that by then you've been grilled and honed and taught enough to understand how these forums work. Geo wouldn't give half a **** about your post count if you had 10,000 posts about useless crap (and you would probably be banned long before you reach 10,000 posts anyhow). You need to be part of the forums, not just be here to get 100 posts and then stand a chance to be whitelisted (100 posts doesn't automatically mean you'll be invited, keep that in mind), because if you're not actually contributing something worth reading you won't make the cut. Stop trying to post and rather try to contribute meaningfully.

Oh, and if I sound harsh, don't take offense. It's my way of making a point... :)

EDIT: And no, I'm not on the server. I don't play Minecraft, I just like to lurk and had the urge to step in here.

[ravage509]

Thanks for pointing that out. In my current situation though its gonna make this minecraft server a lost cause, but no problem I will find another.

Oh, and if I sound harsh, don't take offense. It's my way of making a point... :)

Don't worry Toxxyc I don't take offence, I have run Forums before when I lived in Zim and I know sometimes you have to be firm with replies to get the point across. So no offence taken.

Nobody's angry, we're just trying to explain. :P The server isn't run for people who contribute to NAG in general, it's being run for NAG forum regulars. Unfortunately, if you can't become a regular member of the community, it's highly doubtful that you'd be whitelisted.

[ravage509]

Thanks Zoop.

[Zoop]

Can I be whitelisted again? We've moved the internet equipment around in the house so I've finally got a stable connection to my PC again.

Edit: Almost forgot, nick is ZoopZA.
