Chaotic United offers a variety of ranks, obtainable through any combination of playtime or purchase. In keeping with the old Chaotic United's tradition, and in order to ensure that past donators and customers don't feel as though their money was wasted, we continue to offer a variety of increasingly powerful abilities accessible within Survival.
However, with great power comes great responsibility. While the goal of these perks is generally to allow players to have fun with admin-like abilities and allow for those who wish to have a more Creative-like experience, many of these perks fundamentally open the door for abuse.
What kind of stuff am I allowed to do?
For the most part, we try to let players do whatever they want with their perks. As long as the use of these perks doesn't damage or interfere with the experience of other players, you're almost certainly good to go.
Some examples of acceptable use of perks includes, but is not limited to:
- Using item spawn to obtain materials for building
- Using WorldEdit to aid in the creation of builds
- Using /fly to explore the world more quickly and thoroughly
- Using Creative or Spectator to aid in building and above-ground exploration
What kind of stuff am I NOT allowed to do?
Anything that creates lag, damages or interferes with another player's experience, or exploits a bug with either Minecraft itself or with the server itself is almost always disallowed.
Some examples of unacceptable use of perks includes, but is not limited to:
- Selling or giving away spawned items to players who cannot spawn items
- Using WorldEdit to remove large chunks of underground terrain in order to locate ores
- Using /fly to rapidly locate and loot above ground structures
- Using spawned items to construct self-sustaining farms, and then selling the yields from those farms
- Using Creative fly in The End to locate and loot End Cities or Durite
- Using WorldEdit to bypass land claims or WorldGuard regions
- Using Spectator mode to teleport to players with teleportation disabled
- Using Spectator mode to rapidly locate and loot underground structures, such as mineshafts, mob spawners, and strongholds
Please note that this list is not a conclusive list. Almost every item on this list comes from a particular incident on the server at some point in the past - and there's bound to be things that are added to it later on that aren't there at present. Don't worry, though - as we'll almost never issue any sort of punishment on the first case of a player does something that warrants being added to the list.
What happens if I abuse my perks?
As outlined above, if a player engages in a behavior that was not previously explicitly disallowed, but is added to the above list later, that player would not be punished beyond "don't do this anymore". In those cases, special instruction may also be given as well - for example, when a player was found to be using spawned items to construct large, self-sustaining farms and planned to sell the yields from them, that player was instructed that they must either refrain from selling the yields or gather all of the materials required to construct the farm legitimately. This kind of instruction will vary on a case-by-case basis, and may not always be required.
For any behavior which is already explicitly disallowed, the following punishments would usually be issued (note that this may vary based on the severity of the incident):
- First offense: Verbal warning
- Second offense: Verbal warning
- Third offense: Temporary removal of specific perk(s) in question - duration of removal will vary based on incident severity
- Fourth offense: Longer temporary removal of specific perk(s) in question
- Fifth offense: Permanent removal of specific perk(s) in question
But I paid for them - you can't take my perks away! I want a refund!
While we will do our best to avoid having to take away perks from a player - as they've of course either paid or played for them - purchasing or playing a lot does not make someone unpunishable. Otherwise, someone could simply spend a large amount of money and start causing mayhem and making the entire server unplayable - driving away players and ruining the experience for everyone else. This is outlined in the Purchase Terms - which apply to anyone with any of the ranks.
As mentioned before, having access to these kinds of perks comes with the expectation that you use them responsibly - and if you repeatedly fail to do so, then we may be left with no other option to protect the experience of other players.
Additionally, we also do not offer refunds for those who have purchased from the store. Just as players who purchase an online multiplayer game can be banned from multiplayer after cheating, we reserve the right to temporarily or permanently revoke access to a special perk after repeat (or severe) misuse.
