Noble Craft Network

Hey there Noble Craft,

I'd like to just push a small announcement out into the open. It has come to our attention that both players on the server and retired staff alike want to enforce the rules in order to keep the server the wonderful place it is. This is great and all, and we really appreciate that you want to help Noble Craft be one of the best communities out there. However, that is the job of staff - staff are shown exactly how to deal with each and every rule break in the most fair manner possible. Not to mention a member hearing criticism from someone not official can cause worse problems. So, that being said, we with regret are now making this a punishable offence. If you attempt to correct someone on the rules, you will first receive a private message from staff telling you that you need to PM staff to get rule breaks dealt with. This can and will be escalated if you continue.

Additionally, it has also come to light that some members are attempting to tell the staff how to do their jobs. This is also a punishable offence, since there is a medium that you can use to report staff, found here: https://www.noble-craft.net/community/report-a-staff/

I hope this helps clear up some things and enables Noble Craft to continue to be the phenomenal community that it always has been.

Greetings, all who inhabit Noble Craft!

Today, we are bringing in a rule change for those of you who make use of our TeamSpeak 3 server (and indeed, any voice service which we may use in the future). It has come to our attention that the members of our community who make use of this service for voice communication are of a more mature age group than what is found on our Minecraft network. Here at Noble Craft, we attempt to constantly adapt to change and, most importantly, to what is best for our users. The TeamSpeak 3 server has been integral to Noble Craft as a whole for a long time now and we believe that there needs to be a rule change based on the members who inhabit it on a daily basis.

WHAT IS THE CHANGE?
We are now elevating the status of the TeamSpeak 3 server from a PG environment to a 13+ minimum, 16+ recommended server.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
This means that topics that were strictly taboo or forbidden in nature prior to this change are now allowed. This includes:

• swearing;
• topics of an adult nature; or
• any other-age restricted topic

WHAT RESTRICTIONS STILL APPLY?
This is not a ticket for disruption. You are still expected to respect the flow of conversation, if you are using this rule change to disrupt conversation, you can expect disciplinary action to be taken upon you. It is simply us, the staff team, allowing these items to be brought up in discussion. They should not be used to make someone uncomfortable, and as such, serious topics such as, but not limited to: politics, religion, race, and the like should not be discussed in public or private channels. They may only be discussed in a private channel if everyone present consents to discussing it. Racial slurs, or any term which may be used to isolate a group based upon religion, race, or otherwise are still strictly forbidden in any context and their use will land you a permanent ban from all of our services.

This also means that if and when you use our TeamSpeak server you should do so with thought. It does not provide the same, safe, family-friendly environment that our Minecraft server provides.

IF I AM UNDERAGED, CAN I STILL JOIN?
Yes. Our guideline is 13+ minimum, meaning that if you are under the age of 13, you should ask your parents if you can. We recommend, however, that you be at least 16 years of age. If staff members sense that...
