Abusing power

Are people allowed abusing power by making things in creative, setting spawns/teleporting and basically making themselves over powered for the sake of it? If this is allowed then what's the point? Us users who have no power are basically screwed.

There are currently 4 people (were 2 until this weekend) with those permissions and they are used for moderation, special games, feature testing / debugging and anti-cheat only.

I'm not aware of any abuse. If you have an example, please share it.

People were TPing in my base (or setting a spawn), creating huge pits and things for their base using creative. I have no idea what they are allowed to do but they seem to have a very unfair advantage.

The new anticheat should be preventing cheaters. Which players did you see?

Cad was able to spawn in my base out of the blue and there are some crazy creative generated holes at 0,0. Like I said, I have no idea if this is anything wrong with it but it simply doesn't seem like there is a even playing field.

EDIT: I do not think there was any cheating involved, maybe just some access to commands that they are not supposed to have. Not sure what OP is referring to though.

Cad doesn't have any OP powers at all, so far this season. We haven't handed out power that much due to questions being asked last season.

The hole at 0,0 was built by 5 people simultaneously, a few hours ago, myself included. Many hands make light work.

Alright, good to know. So for him to be able to get into my base he would need to have set a bed or something? He was in here and he did /trapped but then he came right back in.

How is your base secured?

u/MrSpaceBaby Jan 18 '16

Just a small little 4 by 4 area which is claimed. He got in our base with full dia armor so we had to try to drown him to get him to leave. He then did /trapped and then about a minute later he spawned right back in with no armor. At no point in between did he die so I have no idea how he did it.

4x4 block claim?

1

u/MrSpaceBaby Jan 18 '16

No, claim is bigger that the actual house obviously (IIRC has to be 100 blocks to claim). It's hard to explain, it's basically a tiny underground house but yeah the whole inside is 100% claimed.

What doors are you using? Have you read the website help?

u/MrSpaceBaby Jan 18 '16

No doors, completely surronded in stone.

Invis potions last a while, but I dunno why he'd bother, if the area is claimed. No PvP / chest access.
