Clarification of D++ rank

Posted on by

There’s been some confusion about what we mean by ‘front page of /r/minecraft’.

We mean that if you go to http://reddit.com/r/minecraft and can see your post in the first 25 posts, it’s front page.

But, because I -didn’t- clarify this earlier, we have another new D++! Freezingsunlight managed to sneak into position 72 on the front page, but position 12 on /r/minecraft/top.

Here’s his post.

Congrats!

New rank. D++

Being that people are getting D+’ed surprisingly often (and that’s meant to be ‘epic builder’), we have a new rank.

D++

But you don’t get it from us. Your build has to be so good that it gets onto the front page of /r/minecraft.

If you do submit some screenshots and it gets to the front page, use /modreq, tell us, and you’ll get a D++.

I’d be surprised if more than 5 people ever get D++.

HERE ARE THE RULES:

  1. Survival only.
  2. No mod/admin help, no worldedits, or gifts etc.
  3. If you think you’re up for it, feel free to ask a mod to expand a region you’ve claimed
  4. No more than 5 people in total can work on it. We’ll be checking logblock.
  5. It can be whatever you want.
  6. You have to be the submitter of the photo to /r/minecraft. We’ll be messaging you there to make sure you’re not fibbing.
  7. Don’t spam /r/minecraft or you’ll get banned.
  8. Don’t try to cheat. We’re not idiots.
  9. Don’t mention MCAU when submitting. This is not to advertise MCAU. This is to prove how damn awesome you are.
  10. We’d like permission to put it in the random banner up the top, too. Please 8)

So, if you’re successful in posting, and get on the front page, you’ll get D++. If you get to Number 1 on /r/minecraft, you’ll also get a warp to you build.

If you’re NOT a donator and you manage to get onto the front page, you’ll get a months free D++ status, then go to ‘++’.. I’m not sure what that will entail. If you make it to #1 as a normal user, you get 6 months free D++.

Any more questions, feel free to comment here, or in the forums!

Changes to Regions and Homes (Updated)

I’ve changed the number of regions users can have.  Previously, if you were a normal user (un-plussed, or non-D) you could only have one region.

However, due to people building two (or more!) things in different locations, I’ve given default users 2 regions. Here’s the list of region allocations:

  • ‘Newbies’ – this is when you spawn in the tower and have to read all the signs to get out. No Regions (coz you can’t do anything APART from read the signs)
  • ‘Default’ – after you’re out of the tower. 2 Regions
  • ‘User’ – When you’ve built something amazing. 5 regions
  • ‘Donator’ and ‘Dplus’ – 20 regions.
Also, Donators now have 20 homes, as well as 20 regions. Up from 10.

Also, there’s some new videos in the new Videos menu up the top.
