Admin Notice: Mining is off

[Zukeenee]

Well. This may be one way to solve the problem.

I don't think it's the right way, however.

We'll always have our less-desirable players on the server. Some of them like to make money. Fastest way to do that? Mine. Mostly in Dublin, I guess. And so we get rid of mining? The undesirables won't stop being undesirable. Some may get fed up and leave over this issue, but it's likely that we'll still have the same idiots around, just more spread out now.

The sheer profit of the mining mod attracted all sorts of people to places like Dublin. And seeing as people tend to go where there are other people, several non-miners ended up in places like Dublin. And it's a big snowball effect that brings everyone together, "lolwuts" and otherwise, into one small place. And when everything's smushed together like that into one big pile, it's a lot easier to notice.

We've always had problems with certain individuals on the server. The mining mod just makes it more apparent.

Mining's not the problem. The problem is still the same one that it has been for several years now, and we're not going to have much success in changing it.

This just seems... unnecessary. And on top of that, harmful to too many good people.
