Donators TPing and Killing

I am still seeing a lot of Donators etc force TPing themselves to my and my friend on a regular basis. This is explicitly against the rules and yet there seems to be no enforcement or consequences.

Further, today we were robbed by one of these people. We sometimes sit afk in our house to let our crops grow etc and returned to find that one of us had been killed and they were in the process of trying to do it again (via suffocation somehow). I unfortunately don't have any names, but we lost a lot of highly enchanted tools to this and we would like them back.

This kind of thing has to stop. I understand that you need donations to survive, but the ability to TP without consent should be limited to mods/admins as it has far too much potential to be abused and there is no reason donators can use /tpa and /tpahere like the rest of us.

/tp is meant to be used by donators for convenience when they know whoever they are teleporting to will let them and it just saves time from that person not having to accept tpa.

If this is abused, we rely on the victims to report it as they should be easily able to recognize the perpetrator and/or take screenshots as evidence.

Since you have provided not even a hint of evidence I unfortunately cannot help you.

I can see this as a potentially untraceable grief. I always have my tp disabled with tptoggle, however this is a donator+ command, I feel like it should be make more available to people to prevent this from happening.
Another thing that should be able to be done is disable tp when afk, however I do not know a way this can be done as of yet.

As luigi said nothing can be done without screenshots so for now the best bet is to try and catch one in the action. TP abuse is not acceptable.

Hey Luigi,

Would you be able to check some kind of TP log? I fell victim to this crime on March 2nd between 8-11pm Eastern Time Zone. It also happened to me during the day, however I do not have a time frame as I was at work. I should be able to sit “AFK” in my stronghold undisturbed while I am at work or watching a movie.

You say you cannot help because we do not have evidence. How are we supposed to gather evidence when the perpetrator commits his/her crime to people who are AFK?

KGEvans brings up a good point of the “TPToggle” command. Just like /PVP I believe all players with citizen status should get the /TPToggle. This will eliminate the problem entirely. If anyone complains that they were TP killed it would be their own fault for not toggling it. If you disagree with giving it to everyone then could I at least have it so this does not happen again?

Let me know what you think.

Thank you,

I looked through the logs and the only match I found for someone teleporting you during that time period was blkdude05:
[01:46:28] [Server thread/INFO]: blkdude05 issued server command: /tp Molson blk
01:46 GMT (3rd of march) is 20:46 EST (GMT -5), around 8:46pm EST on the 2nd of March.

I removed his teleport permissions as he seems to have been doing this to quite a few people.

As for /tptoggle, this really shouldn't be necessary. I'll give it to you if you really want, but citizens shouldn't have to disable their teleportation just to prevent abuse. It should be the donators who get punished by loosing their /tp command ability due to their abuse of it.

Most people are responsible with their use of /tp, though unfortunately there's always those few irresponsible users that need to be weeded out by removing their permission to use it. I really don't want to have to remove it for all donators just because of those short few.

Well I do agree giving citizens tptoggle would be rather inconveniant as they can be inexperienced and it is such an open rank. However staff do have /tpo to bypass that.

But yeah giving tptoggle should really be limited as I occasionally go around in stealth using /tp to look for hackers/grieifers when I don't have anything to do at that time.

Thank you for looking into it Luigi and getting to the bottom of at least one abuser.

Ok I am sorry, I just wanted to test a theory. If people can Die from anvils, His test segment failed so i did it on myself. resulsts were satisfactory, yes. I am deeply sorry but I did not kill. You can get a free Nether star from my shop. I wont troll EVER again. I put my rank of builder on the line for when the next time I troll. (Can I pleease have tp back? Ugh it is so annoying using /tpa.)
