Thank you for taking the time to inquire about your children's bans.
Here at Famcraft we have a rule asking players
not to leave their pet dogs scattered around in public locations. These dogs can only be removed by an admin. They clutter spawn, and often are right in places players need to access.
Dogs are locked to their owners and those owners are identifiable to staff. Dogs will teleport around with their owners, however, for a dog to remain the owner must intentionally right click their dog to make it sit down and stay at a location.
Lanster29 left many dogs directly in our public Stargate room. My favorite was the one he carefully parked directly under the sign that says, in bold print "
DO NOT Leave Your Pets in Public Places - They will be removed and you will be warned or banned"
The ban was made perm rather than temp because of the effort he went to in order to seat the dog right below the sign, and the number of dogs he chose to leave at spawn.
Like his brother, Devster29 abandoned multiple pets in a public location. He left 9 dogs at the public carnival. It takes a little time to teleport and seat that many dogs. He was also perm banned as both players seemed to find it acceptable to break this rule.
When players break this rule, players who do follow the rules end up unfairly paying the price. We were forced to remove the free public wolf spawner where players were able to tame and adopt their own pet dog in order to slow down the number of players who were abandoning these animals in public locations.
Lanster29 and Devster29 can both be unbanned and allowed to return if they will review the rules, and understand that the rules do matter here, and that breaking rules can often effect other players in a negative way.
If they are willing and able to review the rules and make every effort to follow them, please reply here and we will get them back on the server.
If you review the rules here:
https://famcraft.com/index.php/topic,2.0.html You will note "No Griefing" is the first rule.
Here are some of the things that count as griefing-
* Removing any block another player placed without that player's permission
*Placing a protection stone in another player's area
*Harvesting another player's crops without their permission
*Killing another player's animals without their permission
*Claiming/protecting another players pet without permission (Example: taming a wolf, protecting a horse)
*Removing/changing landscape features in another players "yard" (What is directly visible from their home)
*Placing blocks in another player's area without permission
*Taking items from another player's chest without permission (Stealing/griefing)
*Keeping a players items after PvP if you did not agree to at first (Stealing)
*Not replanting at public/shared/clan farms
*Leaving any locked item such as a chest, furnace or pet in another player's space or a public location
