A warning

This is not a post that I thought I would have to make, but it appears necessary given recent and continuous behaviors I've seen on the server. I'll accept some of the responsibility, since, even while I'm online, I've often ignored the escalating usage of overly derogatory language exchanged on the server. I don't pretend to run a family-friendly server or ask that you players behave any less vulgar than you normally do; however, there's a difference between playful banter and true insults and threats that can certainly be misconstrued in text-based chat.
I don't care if you name items after sexual organs. I don't care if you discuss which animal has the biggest genitalia. I do care when you threaten other players with physical violence. I shouldn't EVER look at my console and see someone saying that they're going to stalk/kill/rape another player, their mother, or their dog. That is a person on the other side of the screen; a person who will have different opinions than you and will may not realize that you're joking.
I'm a little disappointed in all of us that it has come this far, but no farther.
This next point is in the rules, explicitly, but people can't seem to figure it out. No griefing, no stealing, and no PvP is a pretty simple set of rules. I'm getting tired of these few day bans on players and will shift to full bans again. DO NOT break into shit that is not yours. DO NOT take something from chests that is not yours. DO NOT kill players if both players did not agree to fight. It's not complicated!
Do not cheat, glitch, or exploit guys. No XRay, no fly mods. If you have a mod, or a method, that you might think is unfair. Ask someone. Especially Vellusian or Robot. If you come clean and haven't done anything wrong, we'll likely ignore any transgressions. If we catch you, you will be banned. End of story.
Thank you for your time. Happy mining!
