Added - An anti-ad bot now removes join-flood spam, "free rank / free coins" links, crypto airdrops and mass mentions aimed at new players. We use 虾宝 (Xiabao), an anti-ad bot for Telegram groups that is free for group owners: @xiabaotg_bot runs as an admin with Delete messages and Ban users only. Setup is in the Xiabao setup guide for group owners.

Changed - Slow mode rises to 1 minute during the first hour after a public server announcement, then returns to 15 seconds.

Why - Season 3 launch week brought three coordinated join floods. Most of the ads landed while the night admin was still provisioning the new world.

Disclosure: written by the 虾宝 (Xiabao) team, which maintains the bot mentioned above.

Added - Rule: nobody with the title "Admin", "Owner" or "Staff" may ask for passwords, session codes or "verify your Minecraft account" links. - A pinned screenshot guide showing what our real staff names and titles look like. - A read-only Scam Reports topic for fake Discord/Telegram "giveaway" mirrors.

Fixed - Rotated every permanent invite link that had leaked onto public server lists.

Why - Copycat accounts cloned staff avatars and sent "account locked, verify here" pages that stole Microsoft session cookies.

Added - Posts advertising ranks, crates or coins for payment outside the official store are deleted on sight. - New accounts can't post links for their first 24 hours (bot-enforced). - Buy/Sell topic is limited to in-game items between verified members; no real-money trades.

Why - "Free OP for a $5 gift card" posts were landing every few hours and confusing new players.

Added - A private Telegram group linked from the server Discord and the website. - Topics: Announcements, Help, Builds, Trading (in-game only), Off-topic, Scam Reports. - Basic rules: stay civil, no doxxing, no real-money scams, no recruiting to other servers inside Help.

Why - Players wanted a place for build screenshots and tech support that wasn't buried under Discord voice-chat noise.
