Congratulations! Some way, some how, you have managed to find the SCP Minecraft Wiki! More likely than not, you were directed here by someone in the The SCPM Chat. But now that you've found us, we need to tell you how we roll. Let's start with where you are.
Ranking
With more and more time spent on SMP and little to no time spent on Creative, rankings have been changed repeatedly.
Top: People who run our various services. These include Aelanna, who runs the most used SMP server and Nala (our resident chat bot), Tbob, who runs the FF server, and TheRaven, who is the owner of the chat channel.
Next: The second-in-commands. These people are teaflower and progress, who make sure stuff doesn't explode in the chat when Raven goes away.
Next: The various other ops in the channel as well as in the servers proper. You can recognize them in the chat from a symbol in front of their names, like an @ or a gold star.
Next: Regular users in the chat and server who have not yet earned or are trusted with op powers.
Next: New people. That's you! New people need whitelisting permissions before they can get onto the server or do anything like that. However, it's usually a quick transition from one level to another, either up or down. Not to stress you or anything.
Bottom: Banned users, or other users in poor standings with the community.
Lowest of the low: This guy.
Admins And Other People With Power
Now that we know where you stand, let's talk about the people you should go to if you have a problem or anything.
Aelanna runs the current SMP server, Delta. She is almost always in the chat, but it has been difficult to get her attention. If you need to talk to someone about the server itself (such as reporting griefing, asking permission to do something that might, you know, BLOW UP THE SERVER), she's the final say on everything.
TheRaven is the current owner of the chat. That means that he is in charge of EVERYTHING related to this. He also hosts a creative server if needed, but no one has really asked him. If for whatever reason the channel is suddenly unregistered, or you need the creative server, he's the person to go to.
teaflower is in charge of the wiki, and has done most of the editing. She would like you to know that you should feel free to edit, as she's tired of being the only one who does. She's also the second in command of the chat, and if there's a direct incident (or something has gone horribly wrong and Raven isn't there), you should turn to her.
progress is also in charge of the chat, and a more regular op on SMP than teaflower. In the event that both Raven and teaflower are absent from the chat, or you need something from the server, progress is someone good to turn to.
TribalBob has op powers in both the IRC and the server. What makes him really good to have around, aside from being awesome, is that he is currently hosting the Feudalism Friday server. He was at one point the main provider for SMP maps, including Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie.
How We Roll
So we've got where you stand in all this, and who to talk to if you need to bother someone. Now, let's go over the rules in general.
1. Ops and admins have the final say in every matter. If you have a problem, ask them. Don't try and solve it yourself. If they say 'Stop' or 'No TNT', then that means stop what you're doing, and no TNT.
2. No TNT. Ever. Under any circumstances. Especially if you're a new user, this is strictly forbidden. If TNT IS granted permission, it will only be in small quantities, like one or two blocks at a time. You don't NEED 4 stacks of 64.
3. If there is a structure nearby, or a cave system with torches in it, and you know it isn't yours, leave it be. If you want to help build it, find out who made it/is making it and get their permission first. If you purposefully destroy, recolor, set ablaze, explode, pour lava into, pour water into, set various dispenser related traps, or otherwise make the structure not as it was WITHOUT PERMISSION, this counts as griefing, which is a bannable offense.
4. In the chat, please don't spam. Spammers are not fun. Also, if you manage to find us WITHOUT going through The Mother Wiki, please be prepared for some serious questioning.
5. Creative rules are generally the same, but with the introduction of MCZall, don't… go overboard. We had some… interesting adventures with the stuff.
What To Do If There Is A Problem
In the event of serious structural collapse, please continue testing. … er… talk to the people in charge. Try to stay away from drama, it ain't fun.
All in all, enjoy yourselves, and don't get blown up by creepers!
