It's snowing on Famcraft AGAIN- and YOU can help!

 Famcrafter's are as varied as unique as wonderful wintery snowflakes! We are asking YOU to help us make it snow! We have a special area set up at /warp snowflakes. This region includes the ability to FLY so you can build way up high in the air *Note: You will NOT be able to place on the ground- only in the air.

 We need Famcrafters to help build beautiful snowflakes. As a thank-you for your help, everyone who participates will get to wear a single white snowflake after their name, all throughout the winter holiday season! A few random creations may be selected for display at /spawn <3

Participation is easy and the rules are simple!

1.) If you would like to participate, type "/request snow" in game! Once you have your snowflake next to your name, you'll be able to build in the snowflake area!

2.) Visit /warp SG and take the gate on the right OR go directly to /warp snowflakes

3.) Read the rules posted there

4.) Collect your supplies (Read the signs!) The snowflake world has a separate inventory, so the blocks you acquire there do not return to the main world with you.

5.) Build a snowflake! *Snowflakes ONLY - ONE per player, please
❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆

Feel free to build off of any available glass blocks for a starting place. Do NOT build off of other player's snowflakes.
* In the event of parent/child or siblings sharing accounts, please feel free to each build your own snowflake.

6.) Place a sign with your name on your snowflake if you like.

 Snowflakes will remain on display at /warp snowflakes year round, but building participation is for a limited time only.

*This is NOT a contest. No prizes will be given. This is strictly a for-fun event.

 Thanks, Warehouse. Yeah, we are not cool with that at all. Thanks for pointing this out.

UPDATE: The main server is back up and running again.
We've undone all the stuff that happened earlier today. All of your things should be exactly how you left them last night.
The restore took the main server back to how it was at around midnight last night. So just a few hours before the issues started happening.

Original:
We are aware of the issues on the Famcraft MAIN server. These issues have been occurring since approximately 4:00 am, CST. 

 The admin team is well aware of the situation and we are busily working to get everything back to normal. Currently, if you join Famcraft you will land on the Fallback server, and from there you can join /server games, /server wastelands or /server classic - the MAIN server is not currently available, but it should be back up and running shortly.

 Thank you for your patience while we work on things.

Dear famcraft admins,
I love famcraft. It is my favorite server I have ever played on. The moment I got on, I knew it would be a lot of in, and it is. I previously got banned for mentioning [another]l server on famcraft. I promise I will not make that error again. I would really like to play on the famcraft server, as it is, and I hope it still will be, my favorite server and first choice of using my time.
I really hope you consider unbanning me.

Thanks,
MinecraftMan1013

 That's client side. You'll want to  try things like restarting your client, remove any 3rd party mods, reinstall your game, etc. It is not a server-side issue. Good luck.

 Thank you for inquiring about this ban.

 BigWig is a good player and he always keeps his language family friendly. It appears he was auto-banned by a plugin that helps us watch for particularly vile words. The plugin saw a bad word within a word BigWig typed, and banned. For example, if the word "top" were in the filter, it would ban for "stop".

 Bigwig did not say or so anything wrong and he is unbanned and free to play.

 My apologies for the mix up. We do run several strict filters here because we like to keep things 100% family friendly. Once in a while we do run into something like this but over all, we think it's better to be safe than sorry.
 
 We will look forward to seeing BigWig back in game.

 You knew better. You will not be unbanned. Happy server hunting.

McKenzie,

 A big part of the issue was that after you got in trouble for not being nice to B0w, you said it was not you, you said it was your friend. Honesty is very important on Famcraft. Do you understand why it was wrong to say it was someone else if it was really you?

 Also, even if it had actually been a friend, it is each players job to keep their own account safe.

 When a staff members corrects you it is to help you learn how to behave here and how to follow the rules. When you were corrected for being mean to B0w, if you had just agreed to be nice instead of making excuses you would not have been banned.

 In order for us to unban you we need to know that you understand these things-

1. It is important to always be kind to others on Famcraft. This includes your family members or real life friends.

2. It is important to be honest. Do not fib or make excuses if you get in trouble. Always tell the truth. This will help you in all of life- not just Famcraft.

3. Listen to staff. Staff is here to help you learn the rules so you can stay out of trouble.

4. You are responsible for your own account. If your account does not behave, your account gets banned so always think carefully before sharing your account with anyone.

 McKenzie, if you understand these things, please post a reply and let us know then we can try to get you unbanned and back on the server so you can play with your brother.
