If you think that this is so bad make your own modpack, your own server for that modpack, pay for it with your own money, and deal with people constantly complaining.
I get the point you're trying to make, but please don't be that "If you don't like it, do it yourself" guy lol.
To be perfectly honest, I think your attitude stinks. You have come here raging about the staff as we investigate your issue, not only that but when a member of this community tries to help or give advice you abuse them too. All of which is damn right disrespectful, as mentioned before the only one able to reset chunks is sk and he has been busy recently(if you actually read previous posts you would know) Being impatient and getting angry is not the way issues like this should be handled, if there is anything in life you need to learn it is patience and respect. Just because you are behind a screen doesn't mean you can go around insulting decent people. To me I see you as "the new kid on the block". The kid that turns up giving it the large and nobody likes I am sure that this whole issue has lost you a lot of respect that people did have for you, including me. If it was my decision I would rather pick option 3 and leave this community it is people like you that taint good communities like this. I am not really sure why I wasted this much of my life on you but there we go. Thats my 2 cents. Take it as you will!
Here, I'll leave this here for good measures. Seriously, I don't why you guys keep crying "abuse" - Yes this is a bad situation for all parties, and the volunteer staff is looking into it whenever they can, from what I can tell. If you think about it, the ban is legitimate - most communities would permanently ban for intentionally crashing their server, but instead everyone's trying to work though it. Insulting the staff won't help get things done - if anything it'll make things go slower. Think about it, the staff's only real incentive for helping you is just that - to help you. Why would anyone want to help the guy that constantly tells them off and tries to smear their image? As for SK not helping - as someone who doesn't even talk to him as much as the mods do, even I can tell you he's a busy guy. That's why he recruited a handful of moderators to help things along. As for the base crash problem, I'm curious if there's a way to move just your ME Drive to a different area. It would take MCEdit (or whatever is used these days) to do it, which would be a pain in the arse for whomever.. There could be other ways though. If you're using an ME drive, it's just a single block storing all your items.
Locked Thread. EDIT: Doom, i did not ban tomato for joining and "intentional crashing alice". i temp- banned him to keep him from joining until the issue is fixed.
The problem is that I am the only person that knows what to do and I have been pretty busy. The upside here is that while most other servers generally wouldn't know what to do and would resort to very drastic measures (rolling back the world several days because they don't know how to fix the problem), we always have some minimal-impact solution that impacts as few people as possible. The downside, is of course, is that that means I am sometimes the only with the know-how and -- as some can confess -- waiting on me to allocate free time for a particular issue can sometimes be a lengthy wait. In this case, the problem is a very difficult one: It causes the server to freeze up. Compared to a regular error, we cannot simply write code to ignore it. There are drastic "workaround solutions" such as injecting a ThreadDeath Java exception into the server thread and then recovering from that. Unfortunately, this is not something that can be easily just added to the server without some analysis of the risks. It is related to a particular important mod that we simply cannot remove. Chunk removal seems like the easiest solution, though it both fails to solve the issue and it causes complete unrecoverable data loss. Not only that, we still have to track down the affected chunk. Unfortunately, as far as I know, no one else on the team but me knows how to go about deleting a chunk, and a number of 3rd-party tools have notably lost mod-related data in the past. In fact, most of the chunk maintenance tools that we use were written by me, which, of course, compounds the problem.
