Just a few suggestions

[joeharner]

For one thing, the forum seems lacking..... I'll recommend a few things I'd like to see:
1. /builds - a place let people showcase their creations on the forums
2. /maintenance - a place specifically to report server outages, other technical difficulties, or simply call the attention of moderators to something

Also, a change I'd suggest to the individual worlds of the server:
1. lessen the restrictions on who can *access* a world. By all means, don't change who can edit them to be more lenient, but it seems to me that there's no reason not to let our guests view the more impressive creations of the server. (I can understand though if its meant to be an incentive for playing on the server more, as in: "rank up, and then you can see the really awesome stuff" though I would disagree with that philosophy)
2. add a "build of the week" exhibition zone in front of spawn, in much the same way that the current "spawn of the week" system works. This could easily inspire old builders, as well as quickly show guests that this server holds more than just towers, 8*8 houses, and pyramids.

It's a good idea, but I don't think guests should be able to access. Once a user gets to builder, or maybe builder plus, they should be able to access most of the worlds, with a few exclusive exceptions. (i.e. an admin lounge map or something to that effect)

@ norablindsided:
exactly what I was thinking. I never meant give them viewing access to everything.... just a few more of the levels..... for inspiration or maybe to see what the standards/benchmarks are set at.

Also (And I'll edit it into my post above) perhaps we could greet new members with a "build of the week" if you will, in front of the spawn. A spot to showcase some of the more awesome stuff on the server, one build at a time.

We already do the same sort of thing with spawns..... but I feel that's excluding many of the quality creations on the server from really being recognized.
