Don't choose the easy path just because its easy
Hi, I know we all have enough common sense not to post something someone else has already brought up. I also know that sometimes when we get enough suggestions that great idea that you just had may have already been thought of.
So I just want to let some of our newer users know that we have a good search function to be used when you are about to post an idea. The search function can be found in the top right hand corner of our forums.
It never hurts to check before you post. Also make sure if there is a thread about what you want to post about, to read all comments made by staff and high staff including Head Controller to see if it would be a realistic idea.
The search function can be found in the top right hand corner of our forums.

Current List
Implemented
[Implemented] An instructional command that Ops can use to help explain how to get a staff position
[Implemented] Get directed to the forums when you get banned
[Implemented] An Instruction command that Ops can use
[Implemented] Acknowledge people who have built/deleted less than 10 blocks each round (Runners)
[Implemented] Automatic Restart System
[Implemented] Only allowing Staff to talk during the 'Map Voting Period' so nobody can influence votes.
[Implemented] A /mapinfo command that shows the Map Creator
[Implemented] Karma -Zombie Karma when you zombie people, and Human Karma when you survive as a human. A neat way to show people what type of player you are.
[Implemented] A message repeatedly shows, telling you, that you are a zombie, just in-case you miss the original message.
[Implemented] Physics on
- Certain levels contain door physics
[Implemented] Achievements!
Declined
[Declined] Disable Respawning
- Not possible, would need to change the game mechanics
- Exploitable, current system has less flaws
[Declined] A lobby (Like in TNT)
- Not possible to do with the current server mechanics. The game just doens't support non-playing levels
[Declined/Never Decided Upon] When kicked, stop people rejoining for 5 - 10 minutes
- Many kicks are accidently/glitched, and this wouldn't be fair to those people
- However, a temp-ban is triggered if you spam logins
[Declined] A store where you buy things with Rep
- Rep was always meant to be a Novelty item
- Unfair for people who've been playing for ages, to get an advantage
- The HC's at the time just didn't like the idea
[Declined] Zombies back to having no blocks or more blocks
- This was a great advancement and really made the game more interesting
- As for having more blocks... 3 is enough. It was surveyed to be the perfect amount
[Declined] Anything to do with any player human or zombie, having the ability to run faster
- Not possible. Ask Notch to change the system
[Declined/Never Decided Upon] Getting re-spawned when zombified
- The point of this was that if you were hiding in a group, you wouldn't zombify the whole group. It's pointless because the person who zombied you, would be able to zombify the rest of the group and you'd get a dis-advantage.
[Declined] Any sort of weapons or items or upgrades
- Same reason as a Store was denied
- HC's not planning to completely change the game-play anytime soon
[Declined] Anything to do with having multiple zombie skins/names/etc.
- Too much money, for a pointless feature, and it's good as it is
[Declined] Link to the server on the forums
- Too much effort to maintain, as link kept on changing
[Declined] Rep displayed next to the name again
- People were bragging and showing off. Not the behavior we want on the server.
[Declined/Never Decided Upon] A Powerpill every couple of rounds
- Powerpill is only fun when used randomly, and in Moderation. Having Powerpill appear every couple of rounds is not fun.
[Declined/Never Decided Upon] Swear Filter
- People are allowed to swear, just in moderation. It's up to the staff to decide where the line is
[Declined] Ban Jump Courses
- No. They require ingenuity to make, and are fun to do. Ops will usually shorten jump-courses which are a bit too long.
[Declined] Display peoples names at the bottom of the screen, when looking at them, so we can see people form far away
- Un-Possible. Go ask Notch to add this.
[Declined] Allowing re-spawning of any kind
- Can make unfair advantages
[Declined] A command for users to report other players
- ABBBBUUUUSEEEE. Use the thread on the forums for this.
[Declined] Reserved Slots for Trusteds
- Apparently 'Trusteds aren't a proper Staff Rank"
[Declined] Show the players names but keep the Zombie skin, and Vice versa
- Not possible. The Zombie skin is attached to the name _Infected_
[Declined] A command that allows humans to change into zombies, only at spawn
- Overly complicated. Just walk into a zombie, if you want to become one
[Declined] Another server or more slots in the server
- Not enough staff, consumes to many resources, etc.
[Declined] An ability to spectate the match
- Zombie is always full, and this would just waste a spot on the server
