Not sure at the moment, you'd have to get someone from the staff to answer that one I'm afraid, I think the honour system would work great with the community as is; however the sign shops may be more practical, I suppose as the honour system would have its obvious flaws with a community as large as ours, for example it being broken at some point.

As I said before a player community would be great, but we would have to whit list and set ground rules… you can't just go claiming plots and building everywhere; this would take up spawn and not giving other players who stock up first a chance.

As great as a white-list would be; I personally see one flaw with the system, this being that with a white-list it would discourage people from joining (I realise all they have to do is apply on the forums to join), and that as a result it would perhaps have the detrimental effect of decreasing the amount of donations. However, to my knowledge I don't believe the server is hurting for funds, but it would be something to keep in mind with it. I still believe that this is the best way forward for the time being at least especially with the new format.

We have no choice to whitelist because of the hacking. But we can make a FB page. We just can't afford anymore sad sacks to destroy the server. I agree that it might discourage donations but what else can we do

I think they Imagine a community SMP style server simillar to The Cube SMP (look up Graser10, HBomb94, StrauberryJam ect., Minecrack (Sethbling, Etho ect.) or HermitCraft (Keralis, Mumbo Jumbo ect.) where everyone knows each other and is friendly and trustable. (Note: These Things are hard to maintain and esciially difficult if the members do not know each other prior to this.) However they are also one of the most fun and exiting experiences you can have in the Minecraft community and everyone who ends up getting accepted should be honoured/exitted to become a memeber.
Suggestion: Why not have two worlds? Only 1 Whitelisted.

Good idea Darthy. To satisfy everyone with factions, there could be one faction world that isn't whitelisted, but 1 Cube/Mindcrack like server. It would appease everyone, but I'm not sure if it's possible whitelisting 1 server wise.

I guess it would be hard without any form of Plugin but I'm sure there is some way, if not however one world everyone could be stuck in gamemode 2 in a location they can't escape or simply in gamemode 3 unless there gamemode is changed by an OP or teleported out of the gm 2 location by an OP on the server.
I don't know how to connect worlds but this is how you'd block people without the whitelist:
1: Make a Bedrock Room nothing special somewhere (make sure it is at least the size of a players spawn radius, low enough or high enough so they can't spawn outside it, have no way to die in it, Have them in /gamemode 2 (Adventure) and make sure that there aren't any caves or floating platforms nearby (if It's in the air or not) 2: Whenever someone is accepted have them log on or be on and wait for an OP to be on. The OP will TP them out, change there spawnpoint to wherever and set there gamemode to 0 (survival)
-----------------------------------------------------------------OR--------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Make the default gamemode spectator, this way people can always check out the server and see what people are doing on it, but also they won't be able to break items, this way could also be used for new members to get to know the community or for staff to get to know them before accepting their application to the SMP survival server.
-----------------------------------------------------------------OR--------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Have the default spawn be on a /Ban @p pressure plate, there is probably something wrong with this method and it can be avoided but I thought MAYBE? It could work though the other two ideas would work better.

Is two world on a plugin free server possible though? When it comes to server I have experience with helping to run one (Like Admin/Co-Owner type stuff) but have basically no idea what you can code in since my Internet is locked so I can't run servers off it lol (That or I'm stupid XD) so someone get back to me if two world is possible in Vanilla.

Why can't we have someone fill out an application, come on and go through a membership thing, if they cause trouble; why can we ./ban them and have world edit for ops/admins so they can roll it back (if they can, if not help the best we can)

I'm so glad to see everyone being so pro-active and sharing their ideas with myself and the rest of the community. Good to see we all have our own views and are willing to show them and put forward concerns and whatnot :3

A way to make sure people have a copy of their build is make sure people always have to keep screenshots of their builds. Maybe mandatory for each build for a rollback to be initiated? IDK but that;s an idea to stop griefing or fix it.
