Upholding The Essex Home Ed Minecraft Server Considerations

It came to light today that some users of the server would like to have a way of tackling issues which arise online, using a court type system, where alleged offenders can be charged and defended etc...

We entirely understand the desire to ensure that others show the same respect that they are offered on the server and are interested on hearing more of your views on this.

The ideas that come in can the be discussed further and decided upon at a later date, possibly at the monthly meetings. Those that cannot attend can email their views to us at feedback@eheminecraft.co.uk, or leave a comment below.

In the meantime, whilst there was quite a lot of talk online about the possibility of a trial, I have always believed that it is unfair to punish people in hindsight, using a system that was not in place at the time the incident took place.

Thus, until a constitution for EHE Minecraft Server can be discussed and drawn up, which will clarify the procedures we will use when there are lapses in the behaviour of some online, it would not be fair to hold a trial.

Even if it is decided that trials should be possible, as the practice could be interesting if people are willing, there would still have to be some limitations on who they should apply to. For example, in the British Court system, children are dealt with differently than adults.

It may be more considerate to only use the trial systems with those that are over a certain age (other complaints can be reported to and dealt with by Gaynor, under advice) and are willing to use a trial system.

An alternative method for dealing with issues could be found for those that are not willing to take part in a trial system perhaps. We would like everyone to feel safe, respected and protected when on the server, even if someone feels that they may have done something wrong.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
