The current setup for joining the Rizzaster server requires players to be on the whitelist, which is managed by the volunteer moderators. Players must request to be added through the server's Discord channel, where they are asked to provide their Minecraft username and a short message explaining why they want to join. This process helps ensure that only those who are aware of the community guidelines and are respectful are allowed to participate.
Moderators are responsible for reviewing each request and adding approved users to the whitelist. Once added, players can join the server directly using the provided IP address. It has been noted that some players are not familiar with the process, leading to confusion and repeated requests. To address this, it was suggested that a simple guide be created and posted in the Discord server to outline the steps clearly.
There is also concern about the potential for spam or fake accounts, which could compromise the safety and experience of younger players. While the current system includes a basic screening step, there is no formal verification process beyond the username and message. Some moderators believe that requiring a parent or guardian to confirm the request might be necessary, though this would add complexity and could deter some players from joining.
Open questions include whether the whitelist should be expanded or made public at any point, and how to handle players who repeatedly violate the rules despite being on the whitelist. It was also discussed whether a temporary ban system, in addition to the whitelist, might be useful for managing misconduct without permanently removing players from the community.
