Support / Nova Tree Farm Dilemma?
« on: 2 Nov 2012, 22:56:03 »
Hey guys,
I'm a submayor at Nova, and it seems that there's a problem between one of our citizens and the mods that's causing some confusion. This isn't a ban appeal yet, obviously, but I'm hoping to get some clarification and maybe a solution before it gets to that point.
This citizen, Redfocus, has come to me telling me that he's been told he's at potential risk for banning again due to not replanting in our tree farm that he built for us. However, after talking with him a few times, I am convinced that he is not responsible for this, and he maintains he didn't grief the last time this happened, either.
Obviously, I can't know because I can't be online at all times, but after talking with him, I believe he's not responsible. He was the one to build the tree farm, plant all the trees from his own pocket, and post signs requesting that others replant. Those trees were his that he planted for us...
When he was banned for not replanting, he said he went and paid over 500nbz or so to replace all the saplings, and now it's happening again. He spends a lot of time maintaining that farm, from what I can tell, so, while I might be wrong, it seems odd that he'd tear down one specific section and leave it unplanted. He says he's not been using that area of the farm at all recently...
I promised him as TA for the town, I'd ask around and try to seek out help and advice on the forum. If what he tells me is true, I want to make sure he doesn't get wrongly punished.

The trees in question are Jungle Trees. He's planted them in single block spaces, which I was under the impression you couldn't do (I thought a 2x2 plot was required?). So, I'm wondering if they could possibly be 'dying' or despawning because of this, and the mods are detecting his interaction in planting them as him cutting them down?
Not sure. Is there anything abnormal that could be causing the detection of Redfocus not replanting? I'd love to come up with a solution here without banning this Nova member, who's generally been very helpful and rule-abiding.
Any advice or thoughts from any mods etc? Is there something that I'm missing, or is the evidence against this member simply too convincing? I'm considering just closing up this one small area if I need to, but if it's just a problem with the jungle trees glitching or acting strangely, that'd be nice and easy to fix.
And if I seem to be missing something or don't have the facts right, let me know! I'm only speaking on what I know of the situation so far, and want to make sure if he's banned, it's because he certainly did it, and not due to a glitch or something. Any advice on what I can do would be welcome.
Thank you, guys! You're all doing an amazing job, and hopefully we can find a good solution here, too!
