It got so bad that we had to remove that player from the whitelist as a precaution. Once we were able to talk, they told us that they didn't really use Twitter so they had given the account away to a friend.

DO NOT DO THIS!

Your account is YOUR identity. If you give someone else access or give it away to someone else, that person can quite literally say and do anything they want and YOU are the one that will pay the consequences for it.

You can never prove it either. Think about it, how would you prove that it was someone else and not you? If the account is saying and doing such terrible things, wouldn't it be logical to assume that the person would be willing to lie about it too? How are we supposed to believe that it was really a "friend"?

You can never really know what someone else will use your account for. And if you have already friended/followed people that you consider friends or important to you in any way... guess who will immediately become the victim to what ever terrible things that person decides to do.

And that's the thing... they can quite literally say and do anything they want because it will all come back on you. Not them. You. It's your account.

If you aren't using an account, whether it's social media, Minecraft or anything else.. do not EVER give someone else access to it. Delete it when you're done. Forget the password to it. What ever you want to do but never ever give anyone else access to it.

You are responsible for your identity online no matter who using it.

If you are a parent, please tell your children.

In addition to all of this, there will be new decorator heads added for Christmas, including characters and items, such as presents, bells and more!

Of course, that's not nearly all but we don't want to spoil all of the surprises!

So join us in counting down to Christmas by visiting the Autcraft server and seeing everything that's new in Christmas Village!

Two separate times this weekend, friends were playing together on the server, never talking in public chat, only ever talking to each other in private and both times, one of the friends said a very bad swear word that resulted in our plugins auto kicking them and removing them from the whitelist.

Why are we this strict? Why not let two friends talk this way in private?

Because we've seen many, MANY times where people forget to put the '/' before their messages, or where the server experienced a hiccup or some other accident or mistake where what should be private ends up being shared with the entire server.

We understand completely that some players, especially our older players, don't like having to censor themselves just because there are children on the server. But you know what? That's the way it is.

I've said it many times before and I'll keep repeating it... our server rules are not open to your own selective interpretation. When it says "no swearing," it means no swearing. It doesn't matter where you write the words, or how old you are, or what your opinion of the rules is... you do not swear. Period.

I'm not trying to be mean. But the whole point of this server is to keep players safe. All players. And not being able to swear is not, in any way jeopardizing your safety. But it is ensuring the safety of those much younger than you.

Also, if you do find yourself removed and would like to be back on the server, promising to keep the language family friendly, then all it takes is an email to me, a message on our website or even a message to our Facebook page. Let me know you made a mistake and won't do it again and I'll re-add you right away.

But again... no swearing is no swearing. Period.
