RIZZASTERWhitelist and How to Join
/archive/creative/textures/ · last edited 15 Dec 2019 · Billing
A few weeks ago, a new player joined the server without being on the whitelist. They quickly became disruptive, spamming chat and griefing builds. This caused frustration among regular players and forced moderators to spend time dealing with the situation instead of focusing on community events. The incident highlighted how important it is to keep the server secure and welcoming at the same time.
In response, the moderators decided to tighten the whitelist process. Now, any new player must be invited by an existing member who has been on the server for at least two weeks. This helps ensure that only people who understand the community’s values can bring others in. The invitation needs to be approved by at least one other moderator before the new player can join.
The change also includes a short onboarding message for new players, explaining the rules and what is expected of them. This helps set the tone from the start and reduces the chance of misunderstandings or rule-breaking. Moderators are now required to check in with new members during their first few days to answer questions and offer support.
Overall, the goal is to keep the server fun, safe, and easy for kids and teenagers to enjoy. By controlling who joins and how they’re introduced, the community remains positive and welcoming without compromising the experience for regular players.
