Flintwood Problems :'(
« on: 29 Sep 2012, 19:14:17 »
Flintwood is soon to be 7months old and we are getting both new members and more inactive members, in the start of the town I was not familiar with the whole towny plugin and did not pay attention to how it worked and this ended with a lot of 1 day register then quit users in town.

I am making this post to ask for help to clear old peoples houses and make Flintwood to a private town, yes a private town.

What I mean about a private town is I will kick all the members I never really knew and start the town back at I would guess 20 members, yes we got over 100 inactive people in Flintwood.

When I get to know the member that want to join the town I will ask him/her some questions and then invite the person, if people help me with this I will be very thankful cause Flintwood is looking like a bomb field atm cause of all the houses people half make then just "Quit" the server.

If you want to clear a plot ask me when I am online and I will /town unclaim the area so it turns to wildy and you can just clear ahead! :) Thanks to all who helps

I totally agree with you taking action before your town gets much worse, but that will be a lot of unhappy players if they end up coming back, it will cause a commotion and you'd be in the wrong for taking the house/plot they bought from you :S. Oh and I'd be willing to help if you get the all clear from the Admins, but I'd need to speak with Buckie first 'cause I'm one of his TAs, I wouldn't be a permanent member in your town for that reason, but I'd definitely be able to pitch in and help clear a few plots here and there.

Their is a rule in my town that if you are gone for 2weeks you lose your plot, people been gone for months in my town and are highly unlikely not coming back :/

And about the perm member, you don't need to join the town to help out, I just do /town unclaim on the area and then you can break everything on that plot, it will cost a lot but will be worth it.

Okay, sounds good. I'll help you the next time I'm online if you're on to.

MorningWood implemented the 2 week rule a long time ago as well.  It ****es people off and it lowers the towns popularity but it makes it a better town over all.  Good luck with the deconstruction.

You know I was thinking about doing something like this a while back because there are probably over 100 inactive players in Glasgow as well. I think I might bring that thought a reality and do it because its really annoying me having all these inactive members.

Yep! Its decided, I'm going to do this.

The main problem... You can't see everyone who's in your town. All you have is the list you see on /town, and once that's full of people you don't want to kick you're stuck twiddling your thumbs with no one to kick because you don't know who else is in your town to kick. :P

What I was thinking of doing is go around check all the plots today and see how long the owner has been gone, if over 2weeks I will kick the person if they did not have a reason to be gone off course.

It may cause problems with people coming back later but I just have to handle it, their own fault they did not tell me they would be gone Hehe :p

Tomorrow and the rest of the week I am going to clear most plots around town, gone take ages x_x
