General Rules (applies to all sections)
- Cracked and offline servers are not allowed.
- A server may only have 1 thread for each point of entry (i.e IP or domain). Hub servers with only 1 entry point can only use 1 thread.
- Server threads should only be posted by the server owner. Posting threads on the behalf of the owner is discouraged.
- Servers which have their threads deleted cannot be re-posted except by the server owner.
- Threads may be re-posted if there has been no activity on the thread for 30 days.
- Soliciting users to bump your thread is not allowed.
- Bumping is not permitted
- Server administrators are only permitted to reply to their thread when they are sharing major news, responding to an application, or engaging in conversation about the server with a player.
- Major news is defined as an infrequent change that affects all players and gameplay, for example the server is coming online after 24+ hours offline, or the server type is changing (e.g: from survival to creative). Frequent changes like events, plugins and milestones do not qualify as major news and must be edited into the opening post of the thread instead.
- Players may share their thoughts on why they like a server in the form of a review, and server administrators may encourage their players to post a review in the server's thread, however players must not be rewarded for these reviews -- a reward includes but is not limited to in-game currency, ranks and items. Players must not leave multiple reviews unless significant changes has occurred on the server which make the original review no longer applicable.
- Reviews about a server are permitted (whether positive or negative) as long as they do not call out or insult other users (whether forum members or not). We encourage constructive reviews, but will not remove posts if they are not in violation of our rules.
Server Recruitment
- Advertising or recruiting for services (commercial or not) is not allowed.
- Threads may only look for builders, staff, devs, and similar positions. Looking for players is not allowed. Threads may not just add they are looking for builders to post here.
- Threads must provide a means to apply for those positions. Simply stating 'join/apply the server' is not acceptable.
- Threads cannot ask for players as part of the thread. If a server wants to recruit players, create a thread in the PC Servers sub-section
- This section is for server recruiting, it is not for recruiting for teams or other sites.
- Do not post threads which are just 'here's my app'. If you want to apply for positions, find a thread to which interests you and apply there.
- Replies to threads must contain more than "pm me" or "add me".
- Asking for users to play before applying for staff is not permitted.
- Threads should be focused on recruitment, posts which are not specific to recruiting staff are not permitted. This includes generic server updates, as this should be done in a thread in the PC Servers section about the server.
Minecraft Server Hosting
- Support related posts are not allowed. Use the host's own support system or send them a private message.
- No host may post in the thread of any other host. Host-to-host conversation must be conducted via Private Messages.
- Hosts may offer giveaways in their thread, however the thread is not to be used for posting entries.
we are being ignored and everything we do is turned into joking around so the seriousness is lost.

I've restored the post for you. The spam filter can catch some innocent posts sometimes.

Normally multiple closely related topics in a thread is what we encourage. However, providing support is a whole different ballgame. Like I mentioned, providing support varies between the hardware, the problem, and so many more factors. What works for one person may not even be possible for another. Providing support to one person may just confuse the original poster. We simply ask that people create their own threads and we ask them nicely, it's not like we're throwing bans at people for posting for help on someone's thread. Again, this is all to prevent confusion especially for those that aren't super tech savvy.

Data packs are modifications to the game, they'll go in the PC Mods section. If you have questions though, try creating a thread in the Modification Development forum with the tag "Datapack."

Are you sure you purchased Minecraft from the official Minecraft webtie (minecraft.net) and nowhere else? If so, you'll need to contact Mojang support and let them know what happened. Make sure to include as much information as possible such as the transaction ID.
