Is there any way we could get a ban on posting seeds for superflat mode? They're pretty much all the same, certainly not unique enough to warrant a thread for each superflat seed that someone thinks is "epic", "awesome", etc. I mean, come on! EVERY superflat world has at least one village nearby, with many more scattered all over the map, and every village is pretty much the same, with little variation in size or resources.
If the superflat mode ever starts generating other biomes, or giving us the option to select the level of the surface, then it might be worth having their seeds in the forum, but not until then.
LOL! The forums I admin don't seem to think so. . .
Here on MCF, a ban is permanent. As such, permanently removing a poster for a relatively minor infraction seems...very excessive, to put it gently.
I'm sure the moderation team can address the issue without going overboard. You'd be surprised how well a friendly reminder works - people respond well to kindness and respect, more than not. :smile.gif:

Ummmm, what we have here is a failure to communicate. I don't mean ban the posters. I mean ban the topic. "Ban" does have other meanings besides kicking people out of forums. :wink.gif: Perhaps if I reword it to ask that the topic be FORBIDDEN, would that make it more clear? :smile.gif:
Not every superflat world has a village nearby, and it gets boring running in a straight line or in a growing circle. The resources in each village are a pretty big variation in the mind of someone in a survival map. You don't want bad resources, then have to search miles of grass just to find good resources. It is your opinion that all superflat maps are all the same, and nothing should be forbidden based on one group's opinion. Also, the only seeds I ever see are about some underground structure, village, biome, or floating land. Clearly, they are not unique. Why do you single out superflat seeds? In addition, every world is the same, if you search long enough. This would mean that no seed is unique. However, the spawn point is important, and is what makes a world unique. As I mentioned earlier, there is not always a village that can be quickly found, so the spawn makes each superflat world unique.
To summarize everything, spawn and resources make a superflat world unique, and there is no reason to single out superflat seeds when most seeds posted are about the same things.
ONLY if you have "generate structures" turned off.
Or sometimes when you have "generate structures" turned on. It's all about luck, and some people aren't lucky. And what about all of my other arguments?
You don't know anything about superflat if you think that villages or anything in those villages are rare.
Illogical and irrelevant.
I'm not saying they're rare, I'm saying they're hard to find. And how are the other arguments irrelevant? They are about how superflat seeds are not the only seeds that are "annoying," and how the worlds actually are unique.
ONLY if you have "generate structures" turned off.
I'm afraid you're mistaken. I just generated a superflat map with generate structures ON. NO VILLAGE. I searched forever. There was no villages at all.

So you're not so sharp I take it?
Alright, if the idea of common courtesy offends you, I'll take a different approach.
Insulting members is a warnable offense. Enjoy your suspension. Next time, make your point without backhanded quips.
