I am glad this topic has been brought up, as I have been thinjing quite a bit about this. As much as I don't like whitelists, I think 1. The Minecraft Community is used to this, and serious players will go through the steps to fill out an application or whatever, and 2. It is the most effective way to stop griefing. The way I would recomend we go about this, is adding a level in Permissions below Builder, and call it "Noob" or something. This would be the default class, and build rights would be set to false. As far as Advertising goes, I think a well-written post at the Minecraft Forms like Rien said would be a good idea. Also, I would really like if we could register the domain "LVMineground.com", and use that as the hostname for the server. We could advertise this instead of an IP, and it makes for a clean, user friendly experience. And who knows, maybe if it's visited by a web browser, it can be forwarded to our board on the forums.
Edit: Also, instead of the "Noob" class having no build rights, what if noobs spawned in a different world where they could fuck around and do what they want, but they don't have build rights in the main world? Then, they can apply or whatever for rights in the main world. This way when people join, they can actually do something. Just a thought
