RetroMC Ban Database - Connected to LMBD

Frequently Asked Questions

Overview

  What is the Legacy Minecraft Ban Database (LMBD)?
The LMBD is a centralized ban system designed for the Legacy Minecraft Community. The system has been created to facilitate cross-server banning across participating servers in the Legacy Community. The website also provides a system for administrators and users to view all bans, player history, and attached evidence.

Players

Contact the server that issued the punishment. If that server no longer exists or ceases to operate, contact the RetroMC staff team at discord.retromc.org.

Contact the server that banned you. If that server no longer exists or ceases to operate, contact the RetroMC staff team at discord.retromc.org.

Exceptions are controlled per server. Please join the server or contact server staff to request an exception on a per-server basis. LMBD does not offer central exceptions.

LMBD does not ordinarily remove valid punishment records solely at the request of the punished player.

The purpose of LMBD is to maintain an accurate historical record of moderation actions across participating Legacy Minecraft servers. Removing valid records on request would undermine the usefulness and integrity of the database, including its use for moderation, ban enforcement, appeals, and identifying repeat or cross-server misconduct.

An expired, appealed, or otherwise inactive punishment may remain visible as part of the historical record. The fact that a punishment is no longer active does not, by itself, mean that the record will be removed.

If you believe a punishment record is inaccurate, misleading, contains information that should not have been published, or contains personal information that should be corrected or redacted, please contact the server that issued the punishment. The issuing server is generally responsible for determining whether the moderation record itself is correct.

If the issuing server is no longer operational, is unresponsive, or you believe you have a legal right relating to information published by LMBD, you may contact lmbd@johnymufin.com. These requests will be considered individually and information will be corrected, redacted, or removed where appropriate or required by applicable law.

A request for removal does not guarantee that a record will be removed. Where a record is accurate and there remains a legitimate reason for retaining it, LMBD may continue to maintain and display the record.


Use the appeal status page and search by your Minecraft username. If your appeal was submitted to an external server system, follow the instructions provided by that server.

Server Owners

LMBD is considering new servers on a case by case basis. If you would like your server to be considered, engage the RetroMC staff team at discord.retromc.org.

It is up to each server if they want to enforce punishments from other servers. These settings can be customized in the LMBD config.

Staff

Please refer to your server policy. It is up to individual servers to determine what punishments, if any, they want evidence associated with.

LMBD can host image evidence and text evidence related to a punishment. Only evidence related to the punishment can be saved. Only evidence that is legal must be stored. At no point should the LMBD be used to store evidence that may contain illegal content. Please issue a ban, add text saying the evidence is sensitive, and contact the relevant authorities.

LVL1 staff can manage punishments they issued on servers where they are assigned. LVL2 staff can manage punishments and staff access for servers where they are assigned. LVL3 is Global Admin.

Community management staff of your server should be assigned as LVL1 to provide them access to the LMBD. It is recommended that only admins or trusted staff are given LVL2 privileges as they can modify any punishment issued on a server. However, it is up to individual servers how they manage it.

Staff can only edit punishments on servers where they currently have staff access. Level 1 staff can edit punishments they issued on that server. Level 2 and level 3 staff can edit punishments issued on servers they manage. Staff cannot edit punishments issued against their own account.

Public evidence can be viewed by anyone. Authenticated evidence can be viewed by anyone signed in to the website. Staff only evidence can only be viewed by staff on the server that issued the punishment.

Please open a ticket on the RetroMC Discord at discord.retromc.org to request a password reset. Otherwise, contact JohnyMuffin via Discord.

Staff guidelines are available at /staff-guidelines. Staff must acknowledge the current guidelines version before using the admin dashboard.
