7Submission Guidelines

7.1The Prime Directive
The primary purpose for the Submissions area of Planet Minecraft is to allow users to share their original creations with other Minecraft players around the world. This requires that you follow our primary rule regarding content, which is that all content must be created by you. If you submit content that was not created entirely by you, the submission will be deleted and you will be banned according to the guidelines listed below.
7.1.1Unoriginal Content
The following list is a partial list of different ways of creating content that are not original work. Interpretation of these items is based on the consensus of the mod team and will be used if there is confusion.
Generating content with a program
Tracing an existing work
Using parts of an existing work in your own work, also called remixing

7.1.2Edited Content
When you are modifying a work that was created by someone else, you absolutely must follow the guidelines below. Failure to do so will be treated as stolen content and will result in the removal of the submission and a ban placed on your account. Follow the guidelines below if you would like to create a modified version of someone else's work. Modified work is not allowed in any form in the Skin section, regardless of the following guidelines.

All modified content must have the permission of the original creator to modify or use the work. Proof must be provided at the top of the submission and be either specific to you, or broad towards all users in the community. Stating who originally made the work is not permission, and you are never allowed to post someone else's work on their behalf, regardless of permission.
You must change a significant portion of the work. The general rule of thumb is that if it is not very obvious that the creation is different, the item is not allowed. This also includes changes made to your own submissions such as multiple colors of the same skin, which should all be loaded to the same submission.

7.1.3Greenlight Process
To prevent spam, any user posting a mod or texture pack must be level 2 or higher. If you only create mods or texture packs and would like to request access to post your mods at level 1, read the following instructions. Please note that part of the greenlight process is verifying that your modification or texture pack does not fall under the categories listed above as Unacceptable. To submit a request for greenlight, please provide the following information when you upload your submission.
7.1.3.1Mods
A link to a complete writeup of the mod and what it does, with a download link. This can be somewhere such as the MC Forums or a wiki for the mod.
A complete list of all new recipes and items, if any, with pictures.
Pictures and descriptions of any new interfaces added by the mod.
A description of all new mobs added by the mod, if any, with pictures.
A detailed description of any new mechanics that are added by the mod, including pictures if possible.
7.1.3.2Texture packs
A link to your working texture pack.
A complete list of textures that were changed either in the description or with pictures.
Pictures and description to accurately present your submission to the community.

Please note that we cannot install mods and texture packs for testing security reasons and the amount of time needed to properly examine all of the new content in a acceptable mod or texture pack is much greater than that needed to read a well written description of the submission's additions and changes. Remember that we want information on all of the components of the mod or texture pack, so do not include information such as "you will know when you see it" or other mysterious comments.
I am the Original Author, though!
There are times when a member from Minecraft Forums wishes to join ours and upload their work here. To prevent impersonation, it would be helpful to message a Site Moderator if you are indeed the true mod author or texture pack artist.

7.1.4When in Doubt
If you are not sure about a submission that you have created, contact a Site Moderator and ask.

7.1.5Adfly
Only once you have reached level 20, will you be able to post adf.ly links in your download boxes for your submissions. The use of adf.ly links is prohibited for users that are below level 20. If adf.ly links are found on your submissions, the submission will be disabled until they are removed. If they are repeatedly used after this, you will be banned. Adf.ly links can only be used to link content that is 100% yours. If you do choose to use adf.ly or a similar service, please include a direct download link as well.

7.1.6Update Log
The update log is only to be used for major updates, changes, or additions to your submission. This includes large changes or additions to blocks in projects, pixels and textures in skins and packs, text in blogs, adding a download for the first time, etc. Listing small changes is considered update log abuse and repeated abuse will result in the deletion of your submission(s). This includes but is not limited to:
Minor title/description/content changes
Adding or editing videos, pictures, or banners that do not show a substantial change in the content
Announcements that are not updates
Advertisements for server or other submissions
Bumping a submission/blank logs
Note: The Update log does not bump server submissions. The Bump Submission button is there for that purpose instead. You can only bump your server submission once every 24 hours.

7.1.7Banning Guidelines
The following list is the general guidelines that the moderation team will follow when providing bans to players for breaking these rules. These are not set in stone and the moderator's judgement will be used in the case of extensive rule breaking or repeated offenses. Please note that offenses are where an item is removed for breaking a rule, not when an item is disabled to change a mistake. Site bans are separate from forum bans and will not prevent access or posting on the forum. To contest a ban or deletion, please respectfully contact the moderator that remove the submission. There are a number of things that can result in higher bans than those listed below being given, including but not limited to, posting content that was previously removed, posting stolen content in a site contest, posting a large number of rule breaking items, and posting certain types of content. Certain rules will result in an immidiate permanent ban, such as posting viruses, pornagraphic material, and other inapropriate or dangerous content. Leniency may be granted for mistakes based on the time since the last ban.
1st Offense: You will receive a 1 day ban from submitting on the site.
2nd Offense: A 3 day ban will be provided for a second offense.
3rd Offense: A week ban will be provided for a third offense.
4th Offense: 4th Offenses will result in a 2 week ban from the site.
5th Offense: The 5th offense will result in a month ban, this is the last straw.
6th Offense: A permanent ban is assigned at the 6th offense, preventing further submission to the site.

7.2Blogs

7.2.1What is a Planet Minecraft blog
Unlike some of the definitions present on the internet, a "blog", on Planet Minecraft, is defined as a piece of written content, that brings a significant contribution to either Minecraft, the Minecraft community, the Planet Minecraft community, or Planet Minecraft itself. Items that do not meet this criteria may still be allowed in the forums, though care should be taken to make sure that they go in the correct section, which may be listed above. Blogs must be at least 350 characters to be posted to prevent some spam. This is only slightly longer than the first paragraph in these rules.

7.2.2Acceptable Blogs
The following categories of blog are acceptable in the Blog section. Anything outside of these categories either belongs in the forums or does not belong on Planet Minecraft.
Tutorials: These are blogs that are meant to teach people something.
Art: Drawings, paintings, and comics are considered written content. However, there are a couple of minor limitations. You are allowed only one art blog, and an art blog must have more than one piece of art in it. Usual spam rules apply, as always.
Vlogs/Let's Plays: Videos on their own are considered a medium of written content. Please note however that writing a short description of the video is recommended, so to not limit the readability. Episodic content must be posted all in one blog.
Reviews: These blogs provide a constructive opinion about a game, Minecraft feature, server, or other item. Using reviews as a way to advertise submissions, servers, etc. is considered spam and must be taken to the forums. In order to qualify as a review, you should include what you like about the item, what you didn't like, and a possible score or even recommendation about it. Slander is not tolerated and will result in a ban.
Journals/Experiences: Relating what happened to you in your Minecraft world, sharing your feelings and events that happened to you either in the game or while on a server.
Articles/Opinions: These blogs include research and well-thought ideas, or opinions about Minecraft, Planet Minecraft, or the community. Slander is not tolerated and will result in a ban.
Stories: Creations made of the written word with the purpose to entertain with fantastic events that don't normally happen in the real world. Creating fictions to blacklist, attack, flame someone will not be tolerated and will result in the story being removed.
Constructive Criticism: A blog in which you constructively criticise an individual/object/thing, this is different to a "rant" (See Below). Constructive criticism is defined as a piece of work that picks apart and critiques a person or thing and possibly gives advice on how this person/thing could change. Slander, or the misrepresentation of the person or thing, is not tolerated and will result in a ban.
Interviews: A blog type in which a person (interviewer) asks another (interviewee) a series of questions relating to their life and personality. It must be a living, breathing person and not a fake item, block, creature, or concept. This includes Steves, Herobrines, Creepers, etc. Interviews with yourself are introductions and belong in the forums as there is already a section dedicated for members to know you better. As a note, inappropriate questions or those that reveal personal information are not allowed

7.2.3Unacceptable Blogs
The following is a list of the content that are no longer considered blogs for the Blog section of Planet Minecraft and instead belong in the Planet Minecraft forums.
Advertisements: Blogs solely to advertise a server, other submissions, youtube channels, or forum threads are considered Spam. Creating blog posts to advertise another member or their submissions are also not allowed as blogs and should be posted in the forums instead.
Spam/Nonsense/Random: The making of a blog by the slamming of the keyboard, the tying of a single/few characters, not-words, sentences that make no sense, follow any order or a character(s) pressed to reach the minimum limit is considered spam. These types of blogs require minimal effort and are, therefore, not blogs which are written pieces of content that provide constructive feedback to the community.
Subscriber/Introduction Blogs: These submissions do not provide any useful content to the community. There is a section in the forums for introductions and subscriber blogs do not provide something additional to the work that was already provided.
Recruitment/Teams/Groups: Recruitment, Teams, and Groups are not allowed within the blog section, there is an area of the forums specifically dedicated to this.
Contests: There is a section of the forums dedicated to player-created contests.
Shops & Requests: There are two sections of the forums dedicated to this. One being for members requesting stuff to be created and one for members to take requests.
Questions: Blogs are not the place to ask questions or ask for help. Please post them in the forums under their correct section.
Skin Series: These are only re-advertisements of previous skins created. These do not belong in blogs. Post them in the Skinning section of the forums.
Blacklist/Member Complaints: Creating lists or blogs to attack, harass, or demean users, organizations or groups will not be tolerated and will result in a ban. Making a blog about a Moderator's removal or decision will also not be tolerated and will result in a removal of the submission. If you have a problem, contact the Moderator in question or in general to bring up questions and/or concerns you may have. You can find the full team here.
Specials and Announcements: Reaching any form of milestone such as a certain number of subscribers, time since registration with the site, etc. is not a reason to create a blog. Planet Minecraft is not a social media application and that sort of information should be kept in the "About Me" section of your profile.
Site Complaints and Petitions: If you have any issue with the site, its content, its moderators or its users then do not create a blog to complain about it or appeal against it. The same applies to petitions to make changes to the site or anything in it as these will in no way encourage the developers or moderators to make the change that you have suggested. If you have a complaint, message one of the Site Moderators or Super Moderators and if you have a petition to make then please post it in the forums.
Rants: Blogs designed to vent anger, frustration, and/or disappointment in a person, game, product, submission, or mechanic. These do not provide a significant contribution to the site other than to release steam over something that you do not agree with or agree with while others might disagree.
Lists: Creating Blogs such as 100 ways to Die in Minecraft, Top 5 Texture Packs of 2014, and similar lists are not allowed. It takes minimal effort and would be better discussion for the forums as others may have differing opinions on what is the best or worst of any given subject. This also includes listing new features added to the game.

7.3Modifications

7.3.1What is a mod?
On Planet Minecraft the term Mod, which is short for Modification, is used as a general catch-all term for content created that uses programming and/or scripting languages to perform tasks. This includes Minecraft mods, Bukkit Plugins, and external software related to Minecraft. Software outside of these categories is not allowed.

7.3.2Unacceptable Mods
There are several types of submissions that may appear to meet the definition of a mod that are not allowed on Planet Minecraft. This includes, but is not limited to:
Mod Packs: These almost always include content that is pulled from multiple sources and is not allowed. If you are the sole author of all of the mods in the modpack, you may post one as long as none of the mods are posted on Planet Minecraft individually.
Simple Mods: These submissions are mods that do not add new functionality to Minecraft, or simply add functions designed to allow cheating. Mods such as new tools, ores, mobs, or recipes for things like diamonds generally fall into this category if they are not adding something new to the game.
Generated Mods: Mods created by software, such as a program to make new human mobs from a skin, or similar, are not allowed. Please see the guideline about program-generated content above.
Inappropriate Mods: Mods that reference inappropriate content such as drugs, illegal activity, nudity, etc. are not allowed.
Cheats: Mods that are designed to assist in cheating (X-Ray, free items, dirt to diamonds, etc.) are not allowed.
Hacks/Viruses: Any mod that is posted to steal account information, bypass the account authentication process, or perform any function against the Minecraft Terms of Service or is otherwise illegal is not allowed and will result in an immediate and permanent ban for the 1st Offense.
Shaderpacks: Anything that uses vertex and fragment shaders.
Installers/Launchers:No installers that contain malware/adware are allowed, and there must be a direct download link visible on the page.
Addons: Addon mods are not allowed; they are commonly just configuration files.

7.4Projects

7.4.1What is a Planet Minecraft project?
A project is a collection of blocks for Minecraft and can be posted as a complete world save, a schematic, or simply a set of images showing it off. There are some minimum guidelines that must be followed that are outlined below.

7.4.2Minimal Project Requriments
A suitable title related to your project.
In-game screenshots of your project to show members what you have created.
A clear Description explaining the project and what it is.
If the project requires specific modifications to function, it is highly recommended that you supply links to the modifications required to run it. You are not required to provide support for these modifications, but to reduce user confusion (which may lead to false reports), you should always mark what modifications the project requires.

7.4.3Tools for Building
You can use assistive third-party tools such as MCEdit, WorldEdit, and VoxelSniper to create your project as they are simply tools to aid in the creation of the content. Tools such as Spritecraft or binvox that convert an image or model into a minecraft build are not allowed as they are generating the content from an existing work that is very likely not yours.

7.4.4Unacceptable Projects
The following is a partial list of submissions that are not allowed in the Projects section of Planet Minecraft. These submissions will be deleted and you will be banned.
Not Blocks: Anything that is not a construction built in the game is not allowed. These include, but are not limited to, animations, drawings, and/or let's plays.
Program-Generated Content: Anything that is created by a third-party tool (mod, program, etc.) using the software to create something from a pre-existing template or model is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to importing CAD models, images, or other data is prohibited. It is acceptable to start with an existing heightmap for custom terrain, but you must perform significant alteration beyond simply importing the data and allowing the tool to generate the land. Proof that a project follows this guideline is required and can be requested in the case of a dispute.
Default Worlds, Amplified Worlds, Seeds and Flatmaps: Default Worlds and Amplified are great to show off if you generate a cool spawn, but they are not by themselves projects and require additional user created content to be considered a project. Seeds and flatmap presets are simply a string of characters used to generate a world to specific settings. While you are certainly allowed to share the seed or flatmap setting that was used in your world with your epic castle, you are not allowed to post a seed or flatmap by itself. The land created by a seed or flatmap config is generated solely by the game and is considered program-generated content.
Pixel Art: While it is possible to create original pixel art, almost all pixel art is created through software programs like Spritecraft or simply copied from an image by hand. This is against the Program-Generated content and Tracing guidelines. If you have original pixel art that you would like to post, please do so on the forums.

7.5Servers

7.5.1What is a server?
A server is where users are able to play Minecraft multiplayer and in the case of Planet Minecraft, is accessible over the public internet using a verified account. This means that servers that run through VPN services such as Hamachi are not allowed in the Servers section, nor are servers that advertise themselves as being cracked. Servers working through Hamachi or without user authentication can be posted in this forum section.
To be postable here on PlanetMinecraft, a server must follow these two basic rules:
The server must be uniquely identifyable by its IP/port. We do not support proxy setups such as BungeeCord; if your server's IP/port technically points to multiple servers, the MOTD system will automatically remove any matches.
The server must be joinable and playable from the IP/port/hostname in the box. The server must not be a dummy (kicking users asking them to join another server) and it must not have other IPs/hostnames listed on the page to "join to play".

7.5.2Who can post a server?
Servers can only be posted by the server Owner. We recognize the user that has access to edit the servers properties file to be an owner and such access is required to post a server on Planet Minecraft. Admins, moderators, and other users of a server are not allowed to make a listing on Planet Minecraft for a server that they do not own. Users that create a server listing using false information or to attach another server will have the listing removed and will be banned, with the malicious listing getting a longer ban.

7.5.3How many times can a server be posted?
Server listings are only allowed once for any given server on Planet Minecraft. While there are controls in place to prevent a server from being posted more than once, if a user is found to be doing so, their server listing will be deleted and their server added to our blacklist, which prevents the server from being posted again.

7.5.4Unacceptable Servers
The following types of servers will not be allowed on the Planet Minecraft listings in any form.
Illegal/Inappropriate RP Servers: Servers that promote or roleplay illegal or inappropriate activities such as drug use are not allowed on Planet Minecraft. Posting a server of this type will result in an extended or permanent ban.
No Screenshots: Servers without any in-game screenshots of the server itself from in the game are not allowed. Server listings are required to have a minimum level of effort placed into them to be shown on Planet Minecraft and having in-game screenshots allows players to better decide if they would like to join the server.

7.5.5The Server Blacklist
The server blacklist is a list of servers that are not allowed to post on Planet Minecraft in any form because of prior infractions. This list is private and is only accessible to the Site Mod team and above. This is usually due to repeated spamming or similar actions while ignoring warnings. Posting a blacklisted server on Planet Minecraft will result in the immediate deletion of the server listing and a permanent ban from the site. For this reason, it is important that only the server owner create the listing for the server as it will prevent issues with spamming the server and keep it from being blacklisted. If you are asked to list another person's server, do not do so.

7.5.6Server Disputes
Planet Minecraft and the Planet Minecraft Moderation team is not responsible for conduct of any user on any server. Reporting a server for banning you will be ignored and could lead to your reporting privaleges being removed. If you have an issue related to the Official Planet Minecraft server, please contact the server Admins, Paril, Zaralith and Cipher_Punk.

7.6Skins

7.6.1What is a skin?
A skin is a .png image file used to customize the appearence of the player character in online play and must match the dimensions on the reference skin provided by Mojang. High-resolution skins are not supported on Planet Minecraft and cannot be posted.

7.6.2Part Picking
Part picking is the act of creating a skin by copying portions of another skin that was created by someone else. This action goes against the rule regarding original content and overrides the rules on modified content, which is never allowed in the skin section. Content created using part picking will be deleted.

7.6.3Banned Skinning Programs
There are a number of tools used to create Minecraft skins that are not allowed to be used to create skins submitted to Planet Minecraft because they violate the rules on part picking and provide libraries of parts to use, many taken from popular skins without the original creator's consent. The Global Ban list for skinning tools is given below, though the list does not show all tools that are not allowed.
Newground's SkinCraft
SkinEdit skin creator
MinersNeedCoolShoes Armoury
The SkinDex skin editor
NovaSkin skin creator
minecraftskins.com skin editor
SkinsProCreator (iOS platform)

7.6.4Acceptable Skinning Programs
Many skins are created by hand using normal drawing tools such as Paint.NET, GIMP, Photoshop, and other image editing tools. There are also a few tools specifically designed to be used to create Minecraft skins, including MCSkin3D by Paril. If you have a question about whether a skin making program is allowed, please contact a Site Moderator.

7.6.5Offensive Characters
There are certain characters that are offensive or inappropriate for posting on the Planet Minecraft community that will be deleted if found. The following characters are not allowed to be posted at any time on Planet Minecraft and this list is subject to change:
Adolf Hitler
Osama bin Laden
Pedobear
Nude or Explicit characters
Racist or stereotypical characters

7.6.6Spam Skins
There are a number of different types of skins that are considered spam on Planet Minecraft. These skins will be removed when found and the poster banned according to the banning guidelines. These skins include all single color, flat, scribble, or outline skins. If you are not sure if your skin counts as spam, please contact a Site Moderator.

7.6.7Recolored or Modified Skins
Sometimes, a skinner will create several different variations of a skin, perhaps to show a character on several different teams or with several different color styles. This includes, but is not limited to, removing a small portion of skin, adding a piece of clothing or equipment, changing a shirt, and any similar practice. All skins that are created this way must be posted under the same submission, and any skins found breaking this rule will be disabled so that the author can move the skin to a primary submission before being deleted. To add variations on your skin, load the skin variations to an image sharing program and place the links to those skins in your description.

7.6.8Skin Transparency
Minecraft does not support transparency of any kind on any portion of the base player model and will render transparent portions of the skin as black. This does not include the hat layer which does function with transparency and is transparent in the base skin. Alpha level transparency is not supported in any form within a skin, the alpha levels must be all or nothing. Skins that are submitted with transparent portions on the main template or colored to match the background of the skin previewer will be deleted or blocked.

7.7Resource Packs

7.7.1What is a Resource Pack?
Resource Packs, called texture packs prior to Minecraft 1.6, are files that change the look and sound of Minecraft. These resource packs can change character and mob skins, block textures, item sprites, particles, sounds, and more.

7.7.2Resource Pack Minimum Requirements
Resource Packs that are submitted to Planet Minecraft must meet certain minimum guidelines or they will be disabled or removed. Generally speaking, a significant portion of one of the primary areas that a resource pack covers must be changed before you are allowed to submit the pack. These areas include blocks, items, sounds, and the user interface. The rule of thumb for resource packs is that they must change at least 50% of all blocks or items, or all of the sounds or user interface elements, to be posted. If you are unsure about whether your resource pack meets the allowed guidelines, please contact a Site Moderator.

7.7.3What about old Texture Packs?
The old Texture Pack format is still accepted on Planet Minecraft, however we recommend that any texture packs that were created prior to the resource pack format be converted if they are updated. Please note that Minecraft versions 1.6 and higher are not able to use the old Texture Pack formats at all. To unstitch and convert normal texture packs created prior to Minecraft 1.5, please use the official tool located here. For HD texture packs or those using old block animations through MCPatcher or Optifine, please use the officially sactioned alternative here. Once the texture pack has been unstitched, convert the textures to a resource pack using the Minecraft Texture Ender, which is located here.

7.7.4Placeholders
Resource packs that are posted to Planet Minecraft are not allowed to contain any 'placeholder' files. This is generally template files for item or block images, or sounds, usually from the base resources or another resource pack. With the current resource pack format, Minecraft will provide any resources that are not included in the pack using the default resources, which means that there is no reason to include placeholder files.

7.7.5Disallowed Resources
There are certain kinds of resource packs that are not allowed on Planet Minecraft. These resource packs include but are not limited to:
Transparent block textures or "X-Ray" textures for blocks that are not transparent
Sound files that are copywritten, such as discs playing popular music from outside sources
Multiple resource packs for different sizes of the same textures
Textures that are recolored/filtered versions of the default
Packs mostly containing textures that may be considered spam. This includes small, simple textures (such as a "1x1" pack) that make up the majority of the resource pack.

7.8Reporting
This section is for basic guidelines and questions regarding reporting submissions from the site. Please note that some items were submitted long ago when some of these guidelines were not yet in place and are valid submissions as long as there are no edits made. Other guidelines are currently being examined (such as multiple skin colors and resource pack resolutions) to see what changes on the site are needed to facilitate that requirement. If any item was grandfathered under this idea, it is safe as long is it is not updated. If something old that does not meet the guidelines is updated, it will be deleted unless the update brings it in line with the current rules. Certain rules such as inappropriate content, original content, and spam are all exempt from grandfathering and will be deleted regardless of age.
7.8.1Submitting a Report
If you find a submission that does not follow the rules and guidelines outlined here, click on the report button indicated by the flag on the right side of the submission data, and indicate the rule or guideline that has been broken. Once you have indicated what guideline has been violated, provide a detailed description of what you have seen, and include links to any additional evidence, such as original projects for those that are copied or remixed content, and click submit. Reports that do not have supporting information that are not overwhelmingly obvious will be discarded and repeated bad reports may lead to revoking your ability to report submissions.

7.8.2They didn't make this, myself or someone else did
The most important thing to do when reporting stolen or remixed content is to provide proof. This means include links to the proof that you have. Please note, some people do post in multiple locations and you should only report those incidents when the user is not the same. Unless an item is universally known/identifyable, your report will be dismissed and ignored. Even if you made the item, include a link to your submission so that we do not need to dig through your profile.

7.8.3They used a program to generate this
Generating content with a program is not allowed. Using tools such as MinerShoes, Novaskin, Mod makers, Picture converters, and other similar programs requires little effort and uses prior work created by others without permission. Using assistive tools such as MCSkin3D, WorldEdit, or MCEdit do not fall under this as they designed to assist a user in their work, not do the work for them.

7.8.4This is spam
There are a number of different things that can be spam. Examples include stuff that is intentionally crappy, submissions that require no effort, or items created purely for the purposes of boosting experience. These items are a judgement call for the mods and not all possibilities are listed.

7.8.5This is in the wrong category
Sometimes submissions are uploaded in wrong area, such as mob skins being uploaded as skins instead of inside a resource pack, or a modification uploaded as a project. Please note that this is usually not a removal offense, just something that is in the wrong place. If a moderator agrees that the item is in the wrong area, it will be moved. Please report content that is in the wrong category if you see it.

7.8.6This contains inappropriate content
Inappropriate content is anything that contains references to sex, drugs, illegal activities, or recommends those activities. While there are some exceptions to these rules, the average age of our users is in middle school or earlier and we maintain that all content should be something that they would be allowed to see. This item is once again a judgement call from the mods that examine the report, however we work together to maintain the same standards of what is and is not appropriate and discuss anything that is borderline to make sure we are all on the same page.

7.8.7The admins of this server are bad or they banned me!
Tough, find another server. What happens on a server is not something that we can or want to control. If you find a server that is bad or that has admins that abuse the players, don't stay with them, find another server. If they continue their activities, their server will eventually disappear because nobody wants to play with them.

7.8.8This moderator banned me, do I flag all of their stuff?
No silly, you find out why they banned you (which will generally be listed as a comment on whatever item they deleted during the ban). Once you know why you were banned, you have 2 options. If you believe that you were banned incorrectly, send a respectful PM to that moderator or to another moderator explaining your case. We are all reasonable and if you prove to us that we made a mistake, we will gladly correct it. Do Not send a PM to a mod telling them how much you hate them and that you are going to contact the admin or someone higher up and get them fired. These sorts of messages will be ignored at best, or you will receive a longer ban and unpleasant reply at worst. We deal with 1000s of submissions and there is always the possibility that we make mistakes, but if you flip out and attack the moderator that made the mistake, we will not want to work with you to correct the issue.
