RIZZASTER

Whitelist and How to Join

/archive/plugins/lobby/mods/ · last edited 27 Jul 2017 · Partnerships

A few weeks ago, a number of new players tried to join Rizzaster without being on the whitelist, leading to a sudden increase in chat spam and a few inappropriate messages being sent. It became clear that the server was not properly protected from uninvited users, which made it harder for the moderators to keep the environment safe and welcoming.

The issue stemmed from a lack of clear instructions for new players on how to request access. Many assumed they could just log in and start playing, not realizing that the server used a whitelist to control who could join. This led to confusion and a temporary dip in the overall experience for regular players.

In response, the moderators updated the main server page with a straightforward guide on how to apply for a whitelist spot. Players are now encouraged to send a message through the designated channel with their Minecraft username and a brief introduction. This helps the moderators understand who is applying and ensures only those who are a good fit are added.

The change has already made a noticeable difference. The chat is more active, the community feels more cohesive, and the number of disruptive incidents has dropped significantly. Going forward, the moderators plan to review the application process every few months to make sure it remains effective and easy to use.
