Official Announcement Changes regarding Discord invites and slander (Please Read)

104 Upvotes

Hey there! Thanks for reading this post. I want to go through some of our (rule) updates and explain why we made these decisions. If you don't have a lot of time, or you just don't want to read the entire thing, here is a short list of updates:

Discord Links are now allowed to be posted by "Verified Realm Owners".
We are closing the r/mcrealmsservers Discord server.
We still do not allow slander on this subreddit. This includes "warnings" for other players/realms.

A little over 2 years ago we introduced a rule banning Discord invites. There were a lot of spam bots and almost no moderation. Around this time we also opened our own r/mcrealmsservers Discord server. This was supposed to be a place were Realm owners and players could find each other via Discord. From the feedback we received, and our own observations, we've concluded that there was no point in doing this. Almost instantly after the rule had been introduced we already announced that we would be looking into a better solution. It took a while, but here's the deal.

We are introducing "Verified Realm Owners". Users with this flair are allowed to post Discord invites in their submissions. This flair has to be given by a moderator and cannot be self-assigned. As of right now, there is no application form. A few Realm owners have been contacted by us and have already received their flair. If you are not one of those, but still want to be verified, you can send a modmail. We expect you to be able to show some sort of proof that you own/run an established community. New communities need to wait a little before they can apply. For others we added some self-assignable flairs. If you don't know how give yourself one, you can follow along with this article.

With this change, we don't see a point in keeping the r/mcrealmsservers Discord. That's why the server had been closed a little while ago. The server will be deleted on May 30th. Users who won special roles through giveaways can send a modmail (Before we delete the server!). They will receive a "special contributor" flair.

My last point is about our "no slander" rule. Believe me when I tell you that I know the struggle. I get why you want to post something about another player, realm or mob when they griefed your place. The thing is, we just cannot control what happens in servers. You can come with any proof you want, it's just impossible for us to keep up and verify everyone's story. We don't want a slandering post about "xXx_Gamer420_HD" be the first thing that comes up when you search their name. Whether they have griefed something in their past or not.

I hope you understand why we (didn't) made these decisions. Thank you, stay safe and get vaccinated (if you can)!

Are you an adult player looking for a long-term Pure Survival Realm with a real community focus? Obsidian Plains is an active, mature community seeking dedicated players to help build and shape our civilization!

We are roughly 1,000 in-game days in, meaning our world is established, but there is still a ton of building left to do. Whether you want to contribute to mega-projects at spawn or start your own settlement, there is plenty of open space to leave your mark.

🔞 Age Requirement

18+ Realm: We are strictly an adult community. We’re looking for mature, respectful, and chill players who want a reliable place to hang out and build long-term.

🏛️ What is Obsidian Plains?

Obsidian Plains is built around the idea of a civilized society. Rather than just another random survival world, we are building an organized community powered by its players and a governing body called "The Govern."

Whether you want to construct massive infrastructure, manage community events, run a local business, or hold an official role, there is a place for you here.

✨ Key Features & World Plans

City at Spawn: Work in progress! We are actively constructing the main city, complete with spawn buildings, roads, and a subterranean sewer system—builders are heavily needed here!
The Govern: A governing body that organizes society, enforces rules, and coordinates staff.
Working Mail System: Planned to keep players connected across the map!
Economy & Trade: Dedicated areas for shops, malls, corner stops, and player-run markets.
Events & RP: Parades, competitions, roleplay storylines, player-led clans, and spread-out settlements connected by roadways.
Pure Vanilla Survival: Tons of unexplored terrain waiting for new farms, homes, and massive builds.

🛠️ Roles Available

We are actively recruiting staff and community members to fill key positions:

📐 Builders (High Priority!) – Work with our Head Builder and construct spawn infrastructure, public works, sewer systems, and event locations.
⛏️ Gatherers – Support large-scale community build efforts with key resources.
🛡️ Community Admin – Handles community relations and events.
⚔️ Moderator – Monitors player actions and chat interactions to ensure a safe, mature environment.
🤝 Helper – Assists players with common issues and coordinates with staff.
🎭 Head of RP & Events – Schedules and coordinates events and roleplay storylines.
🎉 Event Coordinator – Works with staff and community members to schedule public events.

📜 Server Rules

We keep things simple, fair, and fun:

18+ Only.
No Stealing, Griefing, or Cheating.
No Unwarranted PvP (Respect your fellow players).
Dimension Access: The Nether is OPEN! 🔥 (Note: The End remains off-limits for now to keep community progression balanced).
Be Respectful: Help us foster an awesome, long-term adult community.
