What is Minecraft Admins Alliance?
Minecraft Admins Alliance is a way for Minecraft admins to communicate and share bans outside of the tools provided in the game. It strives to be exclusive in its ban sources, and ensure that a thorough approval and appeal process means all the bans that are pushed to the admins are not only legitimate, but safe.
Why?
We try to provide more efficient methods for griefer protection and prevention without impacting the level of play experienced by the average player. Our methods are all tested and non-intrusive into the server, unlike those with spawn prisons or the suggested permissions system, both of which impede creativity.
How is this organized?
Member servers are the only servers that can submit bans. Bans from these servers must be submitted with a reason for each ban, in the appropriate forum, whether it be IP or user. Servers must apply to become member servers and most servers will be denied. Bans are compiled into .txt files consisting of both new banlists and updates, and processes for servers to implement these bans will be clear at a later date. We are working with Adura of Adura's perl script to attempt to automate this process using his script. IP bans cannot be automated, so this will require work by the server administrator. Currency in banning and unbanning listed IPs will be checked often by our admins. We reserve the right to revoke membership if bans / unbans are not current within two days. Furthermore, all member servers have the right to use our +m tag in their server name to identify themselves, and for players to have a smoother experience. We will also be writing our own serverlist in order to prevent fakes. All servers that are not members, but are using our banlist, may use that -m tag.
What is the OP Application Section?
In addition to maintaining a banlist we are maintaining a universal OP list. We understand that as server admins it takes a tremendous leap of faith to op someone who they do not know in person, therefore, the OP requirements are extremely strict. Please don't complain if you're not accepted, I'm not even putting myself (AlLnAtuRalX) up for review for that list because I fail the requirements.

This is much more difficult to get into. It's pretty much the top skim of the Truster Server OP list.

I'm thinking that as a secondary source, voted upon bans would be useful.
I agree with both of your points. (though I like AlLnAtuRalX's version better than mine :tongue.gif:) I am going to make my list slightly less difficult to get onto to make them more different. AlLnAtuRalX's is just is more elite and has ban stuff too.

I would be willing to work with Zacharia to make a more lax version of the admin list and feature that on the website also, but it would come with several warnings about reading the requirements first. Barring this, I'm willing to accept being on that list as two servers towards the mandatory four server credit.

That's a pretty neat idea. I'm glad you gave this some thought. :biggrin.gif:

Yeah that would be cool. I would definitely be willing to do that. I like the idea of being on one list to start then moving onto the elite list when you are ready. :biggrin.gif:

I don't see a reason to post in this topic then.

Not really... I expect every 5 out of 6 people on the trusted ops list can get on this.

MAA - They're like the spectres. They're elite operatives.
TOL - They're like C-Sec. They're global security, but they're lower tech and they're more of them.

Whats the point of posting and necrobumping this if you're going to state why you're against it?
