Hello Minetimers, I am excited to announce the creative server reset, recent developments on other Minetime servers, and a few forums/community updates. I am creating this thread to give you all an insight into what the team and I have been working on and what is next for Minetime. This thread contains a lot of information, and I suggest that you read all of it. Creative Reset The creative server reset is ready and will be live on Minetime on Tuesday, January 27 at 7:00 p.m. CST. The reset will fix many issues, offer much more functionality to players, and feature larger plots, etc. We are using a new plots plugin called Plotz. You can read about the creative reset in more detail here. Prison Reset We currently do not have a set date for the prison server reset, but it is obviously in dire need of a reset because of the duplication glitch and its effects on the prison server's economy. We're currently taking suggestions for the reset here. This will likely be a quick reset that fixes all major issues but does not change the fundamentals of the server. Factions In case you are not already aware, the issues on the Factions server have been fixed. You can read more about that here. Staff/Forums Changes We are currently in the process of recruiting more staff members in an effort to build a friendlier and more wholesome community. This is somewhat low-priority until the creative and prison resets are released, but will not be overlooked. I have also made changes to the forums in that I have removed the negative ratings "CamelCase" and "Bad Grammar/Spelling" because, even when the ratings were used appropriately, they seemed to only cause contention. If the disagree and/or optimistic ratings become abused as a result of the removal of CamelCase and Bad Grammar/Spelling, then those ratings will also be removed. I am also going to be cracking down on banned users who use alternate accounts and users who are continually snarky/negative. My hope is that this helps create a friendlier community on the forums.
I may actually be active with a plot. Thanks Collin, can't wait! The removal of both ratings were (in my eyes) a decent decision. Thanks again!
Probably not just that thread, rating spamming/abusing has gone on long enough; it's just the time for him to take action.
Thanks Collin, I think removing these ratings are for the best. @Fanny@ can now finally be in peace haha. I am glad something has finally been done about this.

Thank you Collin. Never did understand why people cared about camel case or bad grammar unless it was just unreadable. Looking forward to seeing more staff on skyblock soon.
Thank you Collin! I'm so happy you got rid of those ratings they were being abused, especially on @Fanny@ .
