The group discussed the current state of the whitelist and the need for a clearer, more consistent process for players to join the server. It was agreed that the whitelist should be limited to a manageable number of active players to maintain community quality and ensure a welcoming environment for all. The decision was made to require players to apply through a simple form that asks for their age, gaming experience, and why they want to join. This form will be reviewed by at least two moderators before approval.
There was some discussion about how to handle applications from younger players, especially those under 13. It was decided that parental consent would be required in such cases, though the exact method of obtaining this consent remains unclear and needs to be worked out. Some members expressed concern about the time it would take to review applications manually, so there was tentative support for creating a basic automated screening tool that flags potentially problematic or incomplete applications for moderator review.
Open questions remain about how to communicate the application process to existing players and potential new ones. There was also uncertainty about how to handle players who join the server without being on the whitelist, and whether there should be a temporary “gray” list for those who are under consideration. A follow-up meeting is planned to discuss these points in more detail and to begin drafting the application form and consent process.
