SWAMP SERVERS
Today marks my 10 year anniversary as a server owner. As announced last month, I am now officially stepping down from overseeing moderation and, outside of special cases, I will avoid dealing with bans/appeals/drama. The administrators (https://swamp.sv/staff) now collectively have final say on what the rules are and how those rules are enforced.

I am planning to step down from all rules/moderation related responsibility.
I have come to notice over the years that virtually all of the conflict I have been involved in stems from some sort of disagreement with something I did in the course of rule enforcement. Going forward, I want the work I do on this server to be development-related, and I will no longer engage in adjusting rules, mediating disputes, reviewing logs/reports, judging ban appeals, etc, except as absolutely necessary.
It's not official yet, but my plan, at this point, is to turn the administrators into a "council" and give them total control over what the rules are, and how they are enforced. Decisions will be made by a binding majority vote, meaning that no individual will be solely responsible for any major decision.
My hope is that creating this separation of powers will help maintain community confidence in how the server is run, and that ceasing my involvement with these matters will help me have a more healthy relationship with the server in general. This will make my role in the server more like that of a president rather than a dictator.

Huge announcement tonight on Discord VC. This is not just some stupid drama/rule tweak, this is actually a big deal. Like, really big. The biggest.

Kekfrog changes to make them more viable:
The income is pretty high already, these changes are just to make them easier to protect. However, if people are building impenetrable bases or exploiting the map please send me screenshots and explanation as I obviously don't want it to be impossible to steal a kek
