Updated blocks that can be stolen.
1.9. The following placed blocks may be stolen regardless of whether they make up part of a structure or a beacon: Iron blocks, gold blocks, lapis blocks, diamond blocks, emerald blocks, all ore blocks (except Coal Blocks), enchanting tables, anvils, brewing stands, juke box, rails, heads, banners, shulker boxes, items frames and the items inside them. Also ender chests providing you break with silk touch pick and don't destroy it. (However ender chests may be broken on a battleground)

Have made numerous changes and updates to the rules but the main thing to note is we have now fully banned mob farms.

- Admins will no longer judge Combat Logging, and that all combat logging is now handled by the system. In short, you either find/get to that player after they log or you don't. If you fail to find/kill them, regardless of situation, then too bad.
- It's important to always try to remove things where admins have to judge things which can be seen as very subjective. This is one of those things. The mechanics of the new system are below:
- Please visit the new Wiki Article on the topic: http://loka.wikia.com/wiki/Combat_Logging
- This is likely subject to small changes in the future as we feel this out, but these aggressive new timers are meant to combat (lol) combat logging and reduce fight evasion/some town-raiding cheese.
Added hoppers to the raidable block list for rule 1.9.
1.9. The following placed blocks may be stolen regardless of whether they make up part of a structure or a beacon: Iron blocks, gold blocks, lapis blocks, diamond blocks, emerald blocks, all ore blocks (except Coal Blocks), enchanting tables, anvils, brewing stands, juke box, rails, heads, banners, shulker boxes, beacons, hoppers, items frames and the items inside them. Also, ender chests providing you break with silk touch pick and don't destroy it. (However, ender chests may be broken on a battleground)

Some rules have been reordered and combined into the same overarching rule/category.
Removed the following:
10. Respect Admins
10.1. Don't ask an admin for a teleport.
10.2. Don't ask an admin to spawn in items, they can't spawn items, all players play legit.
Seemed unnecessary as a rule and just common sense.

Just a quick update on the punishments for hacking on the server. If you are caught hacking during a conquest fight or log out while frozen after just fighting in conquest the standard punishment will be a straight permaban.
We don't have time to keep dealing with cheats, and it's important that everyone has trust in the system and fighting on a level playing field. Our hope is this will help deter more players from taking a chance and cheating. And those that do will no longer be able to come back to the server after a temp ban, taking up our time ensuring they do not repeat the offence. Please make sure those in your town/alliance that may not read the forums are made aware.
Hacking elsewhere on the server will still generally be dealt with more leniently, with a warning/temp ban for a first offence. But as always everything will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
