First off, I'm happy that we finally have a Minecraft server, and that things are going well so far.
I've noticed that we have quite a handfull of admins now for a server with about 12(?) people playing, and so far only one griefing incident has happened.
Though, I am quite unhappy about the fact that they use their powers to spawn items instead of getting them like the average player on the server. So far I've seen giant underwater bases, golden castles, enormous railways and statues made out of diamond blocks, and there is no way any player could've build that in the little time the server has been online without admin powers.
I proposed Ned in the chat to make the spawn command available for every regular, though we got kits wich is great aswell, but the 5 minute cooldown is not much of an improvement. Regarding stone and cobblestone, I could simply use /home and mine the same amount that we recieve (4 full stacks?) in 5 minutes with anything better then a iron pickaxe, the railkit on the otherhand is quite handy since we won't have to spend a gigantic amount of iron to get atleast two chunks far.
I found it quite uncalled for asking this in the chat after we got the kits, therefor I made a forum thread so the rest can read this aswell.
I'm sure that more then half of the regulars will agree on this hence the constant requests of materials on the server.
TL;DR: Suggesting that admins either lose the advantage of spawning items or regulars get the advantage of spawning items.
