Also said about the "Stop Mod Reposts" movement, when Funwayguy (the developer of EnviroMine), put a module in place to enforce legitimate mod copies:


Even better, the user who posted it...none other than Nentify himself.

For those not familiar, he is the guy I always have in mind when talking about bad server admins harassing both developers and their server's players. He is also the one I was talking about when I mentioned server admins with a "how dare you give me rules to follow" attitude when it comes to things like EULAs and ToSs.

As for his actual server...
For example, he will ban you at the drop of a hat:
  • Mining where admins can see it is a bannable offense (labelled "griefing"), and only donators get access to a mining age
  • Placing or standing around a GeoStrata cave crystal
  • Mentioning my name
  • Plenty of others
You can get unbanned, of course...if you donate $20.

He likes to lie about adding mods - or actually add them, but disable every block in them (like he did with ComputerCraft) - to attract players, or simply to do something like his April Fool's prank, where he made an "Adding new mods!" announcement and said he would be adding, among other things, IC2 and RotaryCraft, and when his players got sufficiently excited, basically said "ha ha look at you all wanting these mods not happening suckers!".

Even his admins he treats like crap; for example:
Tekkify had GeoStrata installed. Nentify came to me and demanded that I remove the cave crystals, as he considered them overpowered. Shortly afterwards, there was a thread on his forums to address concerns about GeoStrata, with several people complaining about the blanket "no modifications" ban. I suggested a new more flexible ruleset - this is the reason that set exists - of things like "the players must agree" and "no doing it to give admins special privileges". Most of his admins agreed with me. Then Nentify showed up, said something like "Need I remind you people who you work for" - and openly said to me that the desires of his players was irrelevant as "it's my server", and they all instantly changed to "how dare you tell us what to do" mode.

A friend of mine, @FurryDJ, has played a bit on their server, and he has plenty more horror stories where those came from.

WHAT?! Also, isn't that...something that can cause Mojang to come in, kick your teeth in, and shut down your server?

The only time I can remember Mojang has stepped in in anything, was when Pixelmon remotely banned players.

And even then their involvement was basically "this is stupid and against the rules. Stop.", and I am not entirely convinced they would have taken action had he not done so. At the end of the day, Mojang is a company, and pursuing cases like this are both expensive and time consuming, doubly so for international cases. Unless it eats into their profit margin, they are unlikely to actually do any enforcement beyond that which we have already seen.

I don't think it ever was against the rules... It was unethical though.
Anyways, I have probably taken more action to protect my mods than Mojang has taken to protect Minecraft.

By the way, I have never understood why @Reika is getting so much drama towards him? DRM? Like, really? His IntegrityChecker can't even be considered DRM. I have done more DRM like stuff than that.
