Editing this post due to alot of misundertandings of pranking
- Pranking can be annoying things like doors under houses triggering sounds, filling a house with your random items/blocks or something creative.
- Placing buttons, levers and fun things over someone's property is allowed.
- With the addition of carpets, be careful if/when flooding someone's house. They are affected by water and will be destroyed. If someone has a pattern that looks like it took a while, don't destroy it.
- Flooding with water is okay as long as no redstone/anything important is destroyed nor killed.
- There has been a lot of controversy on the subject and that's not the sort of server this is. Please try take things light-hearted and not to instantly rage.
- Fire and lava is not allowed whatsoever.
- If you break blocks, need to clear some space, accidentally break something or kill the player; replace items by leaving a chest with the items in.
- Pranking is not griefing as long as they follow these guidelines. The severity of the prank can be judged by these and punishment will follow accordingly.
- Please try not to go overboard with pranks. Keep in mind they have to clean this up and while it is fun, it can be tedious to clean up.
- You MUST leave either a sign or a book saying that it was a prank by whomever.
- TNT Usage: Although this is very discouraged, it is allowed within parameters. Said TNT MUST explode within water or high up in the air as to create a firework effect. If TNT does destroy something valuable or something that took a long time to build, you will be subject to the server rules for griefing.

Thanks for writing this out Wig. I'll make it sticky later.
Can I also add that somewhere you need to notify the person that they're being pranked as people will usually freak out.

Well I think these rules are a little strict, yes, it's general respect, but if you were to say, replace someone's floor with a design, but you put the removed blocks in a clearly marked chest, I don't think it's a huge deal, just some thoughts.

just a normal cobble or wood floor is easy to replace but if they have there own pattern and you replace it with yours how likely will they be to get it back... alot of pranking is based on the situation at hand these arent rules just a guideline

But just a general rule of thumb for anyone is don't take apart ANYTHING someone put a lot of time and/or effort into, that's just rude. |

I've made some changes to the original post. Hopefully it's a little clearer now.

I think a general guideline is that if they don't find it funny the first time, don't do it the second time. Also, if they put up signs that say "no pranking" then they should be left alone. We need to respect each other's boundaries. ^_^
I'm not going to put up a "no pranking" sign, because I love a good prank, but if I do, please respect that.

After this thread was created, there were several pranks that spiraled into the creator of this thread burning everything and everyone and leaving the server. |

I know..I find it funny that he wrote the rules yet he is most hated on the server. |

I think that one of the main things is that you should really only be allowed to prank somebody if they have either pranked you, done something to deserve it, or if it is very lighthearted at first and you are absolutely, positively, 100% definitely, positively, absolutely..... i've lost it..... if you're sure that they'll take it well. All of the above goes for that one I think.
