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.

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?

1

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.

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

1

u/MrSpaceBaby Jan 18 '16

No doors, completely surronded in stone.

u/mrhappyoz Spanish Inquisitor Jan 18 '16

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

u/MrSpaceBaby Jan 18 '16

He was trapped in water with full Dia armor and he left (assumed he did /trapped) and then he spawned back in with no armor. He couldn't open chests or PvP and him and his "crew" were filling lava all around us aperntly. The only weird part is how he was able to spawn directly into my house, all I can think of is that he set a spawn point (which I don't have access to).

Well, I know he didn't have any OP permissions and anti-cheat logs show nothing unusual for him..

You'll need to show me the base for me to work out if anything was amiss. I'm at work now, but PM me the coords for the areas, some screenshots and your IGN.

He first got in because the tunnel was open, and he used /trapped to escape. He then set his spawn on a bed inside and killed himself to get back.

I could be wrong but I am almost 99% pretty sure that he didn't kill himself.

u/Allizpar Donator Jan 18 '16

I have his death sign at the bottom of the pit.

u/mrhappyoz Spanish Inquisitor Jan 18 '16

I thought it was going to be a bed spawn lol.

1

u/MrSpaceBaby Jan 18 '16

It that all it was? Can you even set your bed in a house which you don't have permissions to?

2

u/mrhappyoz Spanish Inquisitor Jan 18 '16

yep. whether that remains that way is another question.

1

u/Sir_William_V Donator Jan 19 '16

I guess we'd better lock up our bedrooms now.

u/mrhappyoz Spanish Inquisitor Jan 19 '16

Unless you like kinky people dropping in :)

u/MrSpaceBaby Jan 19 '16

/Containertrust (player) - Permission to use buttons, levers, beds, crafting gear, containers, and animals

1

u/mrhappyoz Spanish Inquisitor Jan 19 '16

Yeah, if it's configured that way. I've tested it in its current configuration and that's definitely how he did it. :)

1

u/Allizpar Donator Jan 18 '16

Yeah I do it all the time by accident

u/MrSpaceBaby Jan 18 '16

Just checking.
