Dear Seniors.
Following an incident on the server today, I wish to propose an amendment to the rules. The incident previously mentioned is as follows:
A player on the server stated that his or her "prank" was claimed by an undisclosed another user. While I am all for innocent pranks, in an open public server environment, the chance of griefing under the guise of a prank is too high. Or, other malicious acts, even if it is not viewed as such or intended by the pranker. Therefore, I propose we instate a new rule in the server rules.
Amendment 0.1: The action of performing "pranks, tricks, or fools" or the like, is prohibited. The definition of "prank" is loose, and therefore we will fall back to the analysis of the definition by seniors, the definition according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, which can be viewed on the internet. End.
I am a strong supporter of democracy, and as such will leave a poll, so the populous of the server may vote on the outcome of this movement.

I know this sounds very official, and political, it's really just that way because I got on a politics hype after the election. I wish for Block Hermit to continue being controlled by the players, I in no way wish to instate any sort of government.

Difficult to make a rule for, a prank might be considered griefing in some circumstances but not in others. Pranks on friends are usually fine, but not on strangers. Can't ban them totally, that would be too strict.
In the case today, not a problem. Someone pranked, but didn't claim. If they know the player they pranked they can get their items back, if they don't they shouldn't have pranked anyway.

I suppose I was a bit quick to jump to conclusions. I still think some restriction should be put in place, but it would be hard to verify that they are friends.

if the prank is appropriate , funny and destroyable, its ok with me. having a rule against pranks would make the server boring...
and who likes a boring server
also if the prank kills a player or something similir , than thats even less fun and there can be a rule to that
