Yes, he's 14, and been a member here on Neowin for 2 years. I.e. Since he was 12. This site has an explicit policy of not allowing anyone under 13 to be a member. So he has a history of 'flouting' the rules here. This wasn't the first time he was spotted 'griefing' other players, which is why he was watched when he came online.

 

It's also amusing to check his profile here. He's been on Facebook since 2008, which also has a no under 13s policy.

Unless things have changed in the last two years, actually there is no such policy. This is taken from the sign up page when you set your age as under 13. For all I know he followed the rules correctly however I will mention this to the other Mod's and get their opinion. I'm also not aware of any agreement in which "rule breaking" on the MC server will have any affect on the forum, again I will discuss this with the other mods. If you are referring to him breaking rules on the forum then from his history, its been noticed. If there are things that are going unnoticed then again please use the report button.

 

 

 

COPPA Form

All users under the age of 13 must seek permission from a parent or guardian before you may participate on these forums.

Once the parental consent form has been received, an account will be created for you with the information supplied, and an email will be sent to the provided email address to notify you that your account is ready for use. You can then change your account details from your 'My Controls' area upon logging in with your new account.

Click here to print the parental consent form

A parent or guardian must complete and mail or fax a signed permission form to the administrator of the community before a child under the age of 13 can complete the registration process.

For further information, please contact the forum administrator

Im sure its been posted before but I suck at finding things, what are the rules on doing live streams / video recording on the server?

There are no set rules about live streams. That said I suggest you ask the site staff if it's ok.

Looks like there is conflicting information then. When I said about the 13year age limit it was after looking at https://www.neowin.net/terms/

 

3.       Member Conduct.  Individuals under the age of 13 years old may not use the online community within the Site.

 

If this is not in force then I will withdraw that particular observation.

I didn't think to look there, I thought I would check the sign up process. I will bring this up too so thanks :)

 

EDIT: having looked at it a second time I think emphasis should be put on the word "may". This doesn't say a 100% no, I have been told that this person has actually had parental consent to him using this site so he hasn't broken any rules in that sense.

 

So as I have said above, if you do feel the member is harassing you in anyway please report it and we can deal with it. The PM itself looked pretty much like a teenage strop when something has been taken away. If I can't have it, I'm going to claim I never wanted it in the first place. Despite the fact he requested multiple times to be white listed, we all know differently. 

 

I would argue being banned from the server is punishment enough IMO.

can we downgrade the server back to 1.8 release version? The 1.8.1 pre-releases have broken portals. I had to make a cave in my portal room as it kept spawning me in the wall when coming back from the nether.

Is there any way to get mod or helper on this server? I'd like to make a application if so! Also, it say that your server is for 1.4.7, you might want to change that! That's all!

We have enough ops on the Minecraft server.

 

Also the server is running 1.8.1pre3. Not 1.4.7.

Yes, I know it's running 1.8.1pre3. But it writes that it's running 1.4.7. Change that to 1.8.1pre3 so people won't have to silde through 154 pages and finally see the post you made.

Timan will have to edit the first post at some point. Alternatively we could start a new thread.

maybe build something massive or a community item that will help everyone else out. there are plenty of people who are just starting out who could use some help getting some of basic resources or you could help out people who need help building things.
