Someone please get hold of the user up there who posted an application, Anthony Measel. PM him, and see if you can get him online; then grant him an interview. I'm curious to see how that pans out.

Please, I'm not Japanese, no bowing. And anyone who leaves a squalling kid at my place is in trouble.
MiC, by all means, let's have a poll. But I'd like it to also come with some discussion.
I used GoogleForms for polls, to collect data in a way that is easy to measure, you may want to make one and then link to it here. Here is a primer for you. That way you can also let the mods see the data afterwards. I am up for discussion and coalescing relevant opinion on the mods, but lets also not pretend this is a democracy. We'll take all angels into account and come up with the best possible solution, but I don't see us moving packs till 1.5, simply because the current world couldn't handle the mod-mismatch (to the best of my understanding).

===============
Let me also note here (not in reguard to MiC). Mods are not Customer Service Representatives. They are Engineers and Police. If you have problems or don't understand how a mod works. Try the wikis, lets plays, or ask your fellow players. A mod MAY even answer you, but that is because they feel they may have an answer and can help. Understand they are not babysitters and are not OBLIGATED to help. They are there for their vigilance, to kick, ban, repair and restart.
Good luck...

Mistakenly fell into a hole and got banned for "failing the noob maze".
I know how to do the maze, because I read the whole thread and I know the key. I'd like another chance, and I think there should be "two chances" to do it or something, seeing as mistakes happen. I wanted to tour the server first, and I'd read and agreed to everything. If you could unban zakman246, it would be greatly appreciated. I understand your lenient standards against who plays here and how they behave, and I accept that, but I can assure you I meet those standards.

I think he means the standards are stringent.
Zed, I'm sure a mod will be along at some point and tell you one way or the other, but know that everyone gets one chance at the noob maze. It's not for me to say whether they will make an exception in your case. As far as I know we are also not accepting new applications.
Edit: Also just wanted to touch base with everyone. I'm not on the server a whole lot right now. I recently had a schedule change at work and am still getting used to working evenings, and most of the time I'm too tired to play when I get home. Hopefully as I adjust I will be able to get back on a bit more often. This is the best server community I've been a part of and I'm excited about the future. If you know when you will be working on this arena, post on here and I will try to be around for it.

Tesmetron.
Our general policy is just to ignore those who fail the maze. They know they are banned, and 99% of the time they do NOT get a second chance. In time they just go away. However, since you encouraged him, I'll address this one... :/

Let me reiterate. First, we aren't accepting new applications. Though we do make some rare exceptions at our own discretion. Secondly, the rules are clear. Third, you don't get a do over. A great many people "see" the solution after they have failed. This is why we can't give you as second chance; how would we test your ability to follow basic instructions, logic, and problem solving? After reading, though it doesn't matter, if you "know the solution, how did you fail?
Assurances are nothing, and no, we are not lenient. There will be no further correspondence on the matter.

Hey kids, doing some mod spotlights over on my youtube channel. I'm not going to bore you to death with endless demonstrations, these are just bare-bones representations of what is there, and what they do. I'm not going to go much into detail as far as recipes go either. This is informational stuff to show you whats there. What you do with that information is all YOU! Part one, uploading now, is on my personal favorite, XYcraft!
EDIT: Derp, should link ya... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvpeUEvD7gwrdTf3563lrNGfof6bzCa8O
EDIT THE SECOND: Both parts uploaded. Enjoy. Go ahead and tell me how awful I sound or what have you.

As a Maze noob failure I thought I would put in my 2 cents. Let's be clear this is not about following simple instructions. I would know. I following written instructions for a living. If I fail at my job people die. This is an intelligence a test to see if you payed attention in Art Class. I remembered the acronym and even wrote it down for safekeeping. I had no idea what it meant. I would assume this is the case for most people. I love the screening process mentality. However, I think you guys failed at the execution of it. You are going to screen out good people. You might also make mention of the fact that texture packs can cause problems. I know the colors were not right for me. If this post compromises your test then you can delete it.
Osh and everyone else commenting here on the forum, please be aware of the policy that Incom stated above:
Our general policy is just to ignore those who fail the maze.
It's true that the maze is a net that sometimes catches the good fish as well as the bad, but we have it in place as part of our application process, and cannot be constantly second guessing.
We are not going to grant second chances, and we are not going to discuss it in the forum. Such discussion is likely to become never ending and acrimonious.

Agreed. I use a custom texture pack. The colours stand out, but its still annoying. Rather than using abbreviations they should just state the abbreviation colour (I can edit that part if you want it hidden). I seriously think its a weirdest policy, and almost confusing and/or irritating when you know you are not a noob. I do know you weren't accepting people, but I just wanted to look around. Don't worry about it, I can spend my time somewhere else. There are a lot smarter ways to filter out "noobs".
My last nugget.
I learned the what the answer to the maze meant in SCIENCE class, not Art; when discussing the visible light spectrum. Otherwise, you all have access to Google.
Best of luck.

Really? I was making a point. Which clearly you didn't get. It would appear that this worked out best for us all. You guys might want to remove MILITARY MINDED from your sales pitch. Maybe "Science Minded" would be a better fit. It was the only reason I app'd here and it was never even part of the equation.
