    Simon:

    9) Don't ask how to be a moderator. There are no guidelines to follow for being made one, and the status is given for private reasons. If you do ask about it, the chances of being made a moderator become significantly smaller, and even then it's not that great or special being one.

    That save has a vote up sign near the bottom.

    a simple scanner:

    Do not allow for a save to be sent if the string "vote" is spotted on a sign.
    Letter detection(a bit more tricky) detect letters that do the word vote.

    I'm sure it would help the least but at least it would help....

    It's a bit more complicated because people can get around this. Plus that would use some resources from the server to process that. I tried making a stolen save detection system, but it was getting to complicated to ever implement.

    I already asked for them to implement this :( welcome to the club henry700. The club of ruined dreams :P I don't think what your saying is fully possible @Henry700, but I understand what your saying. At least a better way to detect stolen and trolled saves. EX. A way to see who votes on a save, and a reason why for voting down, which would be posted publicly. That's, atleast, how I would do it. It might not work but maybe in an alternate universe. :P

    Refering to the second paragraph. Maybe you guys should recruit more moderators but then again there are people you can't trust.

    Finding people who haven't broken rules and report saves shouldn't be to bad.

    I'm glad that so much has been done to drastically reduce such intolerable acts of rule breaking, nonetheless, its a game and to that I say f*ck it all. I'm sick of getting told my ideas are stupid or just pointless. Screw this, the game is fun but I'm not sure its something I should invest (rather waste) time in. I got better things to do to make the world a relatively better place :P I hope you guys enjoyed the PAST program but it didn't get any further than a relative takeoff checklist :P I'm probably going to leave this behind for a while. Cya guys in a month or several, Convo me when I get back, I wouldn't mind discussing any new updates :P maybe ill be back after version 100 comes out. Until then:

    Your friend and unsuccessful demonstrator/future revolutionary, Lynxrufus.

    This is my not so secret alt account, in part used by one of my friends from school :P so don't spam me haha
