Hornemans plagiarized a decent sized portion of his application from two different sources. For example:

From http://www.support4change.com/index...catid=51:poems-to-express-yourself&Itemid=207: "But just who am I?," you ask. "How can I describe myself? I experience the world and my place in it through all of my senses. I see, hear, feel, touch, smell, and taste something every day. I have hope and desires, worries and certainties. How can I put all that together and say 'I am this' or 'I am that?' "

From http://www.askamanager.org/2014/08/open-thread-august-8-2014.html: In addition to being flexible and responsive, I’m also a fanatic for details – particularly when it comes to presentation. One of my recent projects involved coordinating a 200-page grant proposal: I proofed and edited the narratives provided by the division head, formatted spreadsheets, and generally made sure every line was letter-perfect and that the entire finished product conformed to the specific guidelines of the RFP. (The result? A five-year, $1.5 million grant award.) I believe in applying this same level of attention to detail to tasks as visible as prepping the materials for a top-level meeting and as mundane as making sure the copier never runs out of paper.

Hornemans almost completely copied these passages. He didn't even take the time to put it into his own words. Is this someone that we want to be a helper?

(Bob4444444 and Worena_Ravenclaw originally found these cases of plagiarism, I'm not going to plagiarize their efforts , this thread is just to bring more attention to the issue and expose hornemans for who he is)

@Hornemans, anything to say?

 

Hello Meepcraft.

I really have no starting point so I may just jump right in.

A few days ago, our security was breached and we lost valuable information relating to the server. The entire database which keeps all the information about players was deleted. An (Unmamed) developers SSH key was found to have deleted them. After discussing the events with the developer, they claim it was not them that deleted the files, meaning it is a lie, or someone gained access to their information. Regardless of who it was, I have the displeasure of telling you that because of someones actions, we have to completely reset Meep.

With this news being as heart breaking as it is, we are going to need everyone to pull together. I know its not how we wanted to start 2017, but we are left no choice. We are taking this unfortunate circumstance to redo everything YOUR way. You have all asked us to go back to being EULA compliant, focus on towny, and re-balance the economy. With the re-opening of Meep, The long awaited jobs plugin will be released along with Mcmmo, and multiple updates to plugins we were afraid to touch before. This mean many bugs will no longer be an issue.

Along with these updates, The staff team is being redone as well. Many of the rules will be made clearer, many punishments will be lessened, and many of the ways we do things are being revamped. I want to meet with as many of you as possible to go over suggestions for community-staff relations. I may do another stream to talk to all of you more personally and get the ideas in the correct order.

Its easy to focus on the bad but I urge you all to look towards the future. We love you all.




All forms of negativity, discouragement, and toxicity will be removed from this thread.

 

Hello MeepCraft!,

As some already noticed, I'm no longer an Admin on MeepCraft. Due to personal issues I was forced to take a step back from the Administrator position within the staff group.
Since I do not have enough time to devote to MeepCraft, I decided to place myself as an Ambassador. This is definetely not a goodbye note, I will return when the time allowes me to!

I hope to see you all again soon!

Greetings,
Sjoeppappentrap

 

I was just thinking of you guys a little bit today and I figured I would give out a special thanks.





It's hard to believe that it was around five (give or take) years ago that I stumbled onto this server. I would have never guessed when I first started that I would have had the experiences I did.

When I joined this server I was around 14-15 years old, I just got a computer and was shown the game minecraft by my friends, so I had no previous internet experience (and at the time I was very much an introvert). Meepcraft showed me what the internet, and parts of the real world is like. With the random acts of rudeness, kindness, helpfulness, and friendships.

In my time of Meeping I have made lots of friends, I have lost friends, and I have even made a few enemies. Lots of people would say "they cant be your 'friends' if you have never met them." However I disagree. My friends on Meep have truly impacted my life through their kindness, for that I am very grateful and no matter where I go there will always be a little bit of you in me.

Meepcraft helped me become more social and open to talk with people (though I'm still working on it).

Becoming a moderator helped me gain more confidence and good judgement. Being a moderator also gave me a sense of responsibility, when non was given to me elsewhere. I truly believe becoming a moderator helped me gain more of a good work ethic, before I had any real jobs.

Grammar and spelling Nazi's helped me with my typing (it's still a work in progress I know).

So shout out to all you awesome people. You helped me get through some rough patches in my life, you gave me friendships when I had non, you gave me joy when I had little, and you really did impact my life. Even though I am not very active anymore, I will always be a Meepcrafter.

I hope Meepcraft can impact all of you guys like it has me.

Special thanks to all my Friends (you know who you are), fellow moderators past and present, and Fuzzlr.

 

Don't mean anything bad by this btw, dw

I don't mean to bash the server and all, and I understand I will be getting the generic "you don't play so your opinion doesn't matter" response but, seriously.... What in God's name has happened to this server? So let me just give y'all a little background story below and I will get into some "issues".

So I was bored one day long, long ago and decided I would say "Everyone go to MrsMeganCraft for the ultimate Minecraft experience" (obviously a fake server), I was banned etc... etc... but before I was banned I could see the server was in a massive decline. If you all don't think the server has declined you are sipping on something really funky. I come back after 4 months and it seems as if the gates of Hell have opened. The server is virtually dead and a great deal of the community has complaints and they are not being listened to.

Sooooooooooooooooooo

I hear there is no vshop or anything of that nature and there are only chest shops and strangely enough they are owned by staff or the little staff "cliche" and please don't pretend this doesn't exist. I know very well that certain people get away with certain things and get info about things because of who they know, this is common knowledge.

Voting is still down, has been for ages, it probably will never be fixed but yeah... if small servers that have a community of 5-10 players can keep voting up I would expect this server to be able to keep it working.

/jobs is gone, please don't rant but noobs have no way of making money in a mindless drone way. Little kids want to go on a server and dig for money, this might sound stupid but its what they want, give it to them. What kid is going to join a server only to find out it is hard to make money without thinking for more than 60 seconds, yup, not many... People are lazy and stupid, give them stupid and easy ways to make money. It doesn't matter if you have your own stupid agenda about having an economy that you like (addressing upper management here), it has killed the server.

There are a plethora of other things wrong, I am quite sure of that but please... this server has gone way down hill and it isn't the "staffs'" fault, it stems from the upper management.

Fix the server for people that actually are willing to play on the server still because I certainly don't have the time anymore.

 

IGN: Deinen0
Date/Time: 12/11/2013 Approx. 8:30PM EST
Reason: Abuse of Staff Perms
Ban Length: Permanent-Appeal
Staff Member: DianaB72

Why we should consider your appeal:

I was banned 12/11 for abusing my staff perms, in which I had, in clear conscious. I realize this was not the correct thing to do, however I am only human and I do make mistakes. I also realize the damage this has done to my reputation, as well as letting the entire server down. For this I apologize, and I wish for the opportunity to redeem my actions, and move forward with my MeepLife.

I became staff for the first time during MeepNetworks, on 5/4/2013, approx 3:50AM EST. From there I had moved up the ranks and achieved Overseer(admin), twice. This was due to Crueltygaming removing the Overseer rank, then re-implementing it. During my time there I spent many hours online and in-game, tending to the player's needs, and often dissipating the resentment towards MeepNetworks, and it's co-owner, Crueltygaming. Aside from this, I often pushed for transparency within the staff, and to treat the players fairly, at times outright disobeying ban lists from Crueltygaming, which included former, and current staff.

Early July of this year, it came to light that Crueltygaming had locked Fuzzlr out of his own machines, during this time I had consulted with Fuzzlr on several occasions, and I informed him that he would have the support of the community, and staff should he decide to leave Crueltygaming, and Meepnetworks. Given the task of saving the old spawn, and recruiting a group of loyalists, in order to keep the project hidden until it was ready. In this I staffed many of the staff we know and love today, Sirrr_Pig, Cooleysworld, Nasapc, and more.

During the early days of the new MeepCraft, I spent hours in-game, tending to the user's needs, fielding questions, complaints (which there were a lot of, often calling for the complete resignation of all staff), and concerns. As well as forming the basis of the rules, given we had only a copy from Meepnetwork's skewed vision of them. During this time I was also heavily involved in staffing this server. This lead to an enormous time in-game, at times up to and over 10 hours a day. However, I became overall burnt out from 5 months of staff service, and resigned my adminship.

Quite lost in what to do from then on, as a majority of my time on MeepCraft has been in the staff in some shape, or form, I reapplied and was accepted at the end of October, rising quickly back to Supermod due to my prior experience, and performance.

That all being said, I did abuse my staff perms, something in which I regret, however that cannot change the past. I did the right thing, and willingly resigned my position due to my transgressions. The above is not meant to tout any accomplishments, but to make a case for my plea to not be banned from the server which was been my one and only server, and which I love, and quite arguably would not be here in this shape or form without me. I have given up my staff position, and will never attempt to regain this, however, I wish to have a relatively quiet meeplife back in game.

Thank you for reading this.
