Yes, it's an April Fools joke. I don't seem to be affected by it, though.
I secretly uploaded an upside down version of it, but shhh!

HAH. Good one, Sach.
That reminds me of this one time the Owner of the server for a game we played years ago (not MC) logged on under a different name. Somehow he had locked himself out of his account and was trying to get the mods to OP him. We all knew who he was, but we all proceeded to give him the "read the rules and apply for OP status" rundown. It was hilarious.

Of course it would reduce overhead, since you'd get targeted audience. Only persons who already preselected themselves as interested will go there.
But the biggest problem is:
In other words censorship.
This forum has never claimed to be a venue for free speech, we regularly censor various types of content. Profanity, adult content, malware, illegal content, we have many restrictions on what you can and can't post here. Censorship is required to operate this forum effectively. -

citricsquid posted a message on Prefixes: Plan and ParticipationIf you haven't heard Cobalt now supports prefixes! They're a wonderful idea that work in a similar way to tags but they are searchable per section and are defined by the administration, greatly improving their value to users.Posted in: Administrators & Moderators
A demo can be seen in PC Mods (click on a prefix to see all threads with that type! or use filter drop down at the bottom): http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods
Rollout
Over the next few days we'll be going section to section implementing prefixes and I'll be working with the FA to co-ordinate a moderator lead effort to prefix all of the popular threads, both to encourage members to prefix their own threads and to make the value of the feature clear right away.
How to Participate
The goal of prefixes is to make finding and identifying content super simple, we want a user to be able to think "I want to view all content for version 1.0.1 of PS3 Minecraft" and get that content quickly and easily. Prefixes are not designed to make the forum "pretty", please always keep this in mind, the focus is on discovery. If you have any questions about this please let me know!
If you're a moderator in a section that now has prefixes and you would like to participate it's super simple! Visit a thread and from the "Tools" drop down on the top right click "Edit Thread", then in the "Multi Prefix" box at the left of the thread select the relevant prefixes! If the thread title already contains makeshift tags (eg: [1.7.2]) please remove the tag from the title after adding the prefix but only remove from the title if you're able to add the prefix, if there isn't an equivalent prefix leave the makeshift tag in.
Here is an example of Before:
After:
Each individual Forum Administrator may have their own guidelines for this process in their section, if they do they'll reply to this thread with them.
Rollout
We are currently doing a staged rollout, your FA will have more information on when your section is being done, this will take the next few days. Any moderators in a section that has already had prefixes rolled out is encouraged to participate.
FAQ
- At the moment the order the prefixes are displayed in cannot be controlled, this will be fixed in the future. They are currently sorted based on their prefix ID. If a thread has a very important tag that NEEDS to be in the title but can't be a prefix because it gets hidden, leave it in the title. It's VERY important we don't upset content creators by modifying their thread in a detrimental way, focus on improving and adding value, if in doubt: msg me or leave the title as is.
- There are 2 prefixes listed on the the thread index, the rest are available when hovering over ("+1 more"). As above you cannot control the first 2, they are based on the prefix ID. This will be changed in the future.
- If you have an idea for a new prefix feel free to suggest it here, or to your FA
- Prefix colours are based on what "makes sense", eg: green for xbox, red for Youtube, if a colour would fit with the prefix we'll add it, but we don't want to overload the pages with colours which means we'll default to a plain colour (although version numbers are differentiated always)
- If someone complains about prefixes or has feedback please ask them to PM me or post in FD&I
- If you filter by a prefix and see threads without those prefixes listed, it's because they're hidden behind the "+x more" tooltip
- Significant improvements to the prefix system are coming soon (ordering, better search) but for now it's great enough!
- Please ALWAYS refer to them as prefixes, unifying language is important and although "tags" is sort-of correct, it doesn't match the system. Prefix, please.
Thanks! Any questions? Let me know in this thread! Let's rock this! -

CurseForge is now hosting Forge Mods!
As many of you may or may not know, Curse has been hosting Bukkit mods exclusively through dev.bukkit.org and we thought that it was time to open up our development community further with regards to Minecraft mods. So for the last few weeks we have been moving our old Client Mods database out of the bukkit database and into it’s own at CurseForge.
What this means is that we now have a great place to host Forge Mods at CurseForge. It works identically to dev.bukkit.org, and the whole system was built by modders from the ground up.
In addition to Forge Mods, we have another primary category dedicated to other client mods, whether they need Modloader or just need to be combined with Minecraft.jar. Plus, if your mod is compatible with Forge and Modloader you can have it listed under both by just picking both categories.
This is also an opportunity for mod authors to join our Author Rewards Program; once your mod has been successfully approved you start to earn points as people download your mods that you can redeem for PayPal cash or Amazon gift cards! You can also earn free Curse Premium if you get enough downloads per month.
We think this is a great opportunity for client mod authors who make Forge mods and other mods to get their mods out to an even greater audience. Thanks for your consideration and we hope to see our Minecraft Mod database grow by leaps and bounds in the coming months.
To get started, head to this link and start filling out your project: http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/create-project/
Important Notice for Authors
Please note that when you first get your project approved, it is still considered in the ‘Planning’ stage. You will need to go into ‘Project management’, then ‘Edit project’. Once there, you can scroll all the way down to the bottom and set the ‘Development stage’ to ‘Release’. This ensures your mod will syndicate to Curse.com. Also, if you are uploading multiple versions (i.e. 1.4.7, 1.5.1, etc.) make sure to upload them from oldest to newest. You always want the newest file uploaded last as that’s the file that will show up on Curseforge.
More info can be found at our CurseForge Knowledge base here: http://www.curseforge.com/wiki/knowledge-base/

Nothing ridiculous about not excluding potential customers. From a strictly business perspective, defying a demographic for the sake of making a statement is a great way to lose a lot of money.

As with anything I post in the news, I welcome suggestions from anyone. If you find something you would like to see up there (or alternately, a particular type of content you would prefer to see more or less of), feel free to let me know.

Hi there!
Your question should already be answered in my previous post. In short, we cannot reasonably determine, nor realistically enforce, the EULA outside of the forum itself. Our only jurisdiction is the forum, and it is where we keep our focus. Whether an advertising server is or isn't in violation isn't for us to decide, but for Mojang. If you feel a server in particular violates the EULA, you can (and should) report it to Mojang directly, and allow them to handle it.
5
The short version about EULA enforcement is, "We cannot reasonably enforce it."
The longer version: Enforcing the EULA is, ultimately, Mojang's prerogative. It is their intellectual property to do what they like with, and part of that is deciding when, or if, they will enforce it. If you would like to report servers in violation, I would encourage you to drop a line here, and Mojang will address it as they will.
We are, above all else, a forum. By nature, forums encourage community discussion and interaction, and part of that is discussion about servers. Everyone can have their say about servers here, and that is fine to discuss, within reason (obvious exceptions exist, with name-calling, flaming, etc).
This thread still exists for the same reason threads about servers elsewhere still exist: it is open discussion, and we're all about that. However, what we cannot reasonably do is carry our rules outside of the forum itself, since it lies out of our control. What a server actually does, in practice, is not for us to decide. Again, if you feel you have found a server that breaks Mojang's rules, please report it here.

If you're going to report a post, just report it. Please don't taunt people with what you imagine will hurt them. They could easily report it as harassment.

Nothing to see here. Move along.
