Sorry, but the “people could lie” thing is a poor reason to reset ranks. So we’re gonna let the 10% of dishonest people ruin everything for the rest of the server? If you can prove what rank you’re at, you should get the votes for that rank( and the rank of course). As zai suggested you could just make all of a rank have the same number of votes. For example, a Glorious would get 240 votes. There was an issue with ranks a month ago as well, yet staff reset them and it wasn’t a huge issue. As for the “only Schaum can reset them” issue, you could give all staff rank setting abilities for a few weeks. To keep it organized, make another report thread. If you need more proof, reach out to mcsl. It’s a very solvable issue and it doesn’t seem like enough thought has been given to possible solutions. I understand where you're coming from, I do. There are plenty of staff members that have been in support of restoring vote ranks but in the end, it's up to Schaum and would have to be something taken up with him. As of now, he's said no. This FAQ has served solely as a link between staff and the players - information is updated as it's received. The problem with reaching out to MCSL is, as far as I'm aware, voter information is only stored permanently server-side. It is very odd that a record of permanently banned players exists, but not a record of all of our votes. As Knoot said before me, this is all being input manually, relying on past ban appeals as well as our personal knowledge of who was indeed permanently banned. Finally, on the topic of refunding past donation packages, as far as I'm aware, they were not only removed from the store for purchase but removed entirely from the store's data. This is the biggest reason why they aren't able to be reclaimed. Same for old versions of Epic. I, myself, bought ranks from Bacon through Epic back in January before the rewards were updated. So, believe me, I do understand why everyone is upset about it. For miscellaneous donations such as unlimited sethomes from 1.8, for example, we're still pending a solution on that, hence the [Answer Pending] on the original post. The thread will be updated accordingly as we receive more information but know that we are aware of the situation, aware of the reasons against it, and aware that you all are wanting answers. But as I also said in the original post, we do not have every single answer at this moment. It would've been different had this been a planned issue, then we could've prepared for that, but it wasn't. We're doing what we can with what we're given to work with. Thank you for your understanding.

Another question, will the new world be the same seed or a different one?

Yes, due to corrupt data.

Wait, I'm going to lose Epic since I bought it in May? The FAQ says Epics will be restored, but now that's only Epics who have bought since the last update to donator ranks? I'm confused.

Will the forums be cleaned up by removing or archiving old posts that are only relevant to the old world? I think this is important, as out of date information in posts can mislead players in-game.

Or we could move them all into another section, such as History of Safe Survival, so players can see what happened before and who/what came before

This is what I meant in reference to "archive". Then we still have the history of the server, but it's in a designated location on the forums so players (old and new) are aware that this information does not apply to the new world.

Staff feel free to correct if I'm wrong, but as far as I know everyone who's EVER gotten a rank will get it back. If you bought Epic before the packaged changed you will get the current Epic prizes and not the old Epic kit. Same for all the other ranks. I don't remember what I got as part of the old Epic kit, but you can just go to the SS store and see what Epics get now. When the new world is up you will need to go to the store and claim it again for FREE (and if it's not free talk to staff), and you'll get current prizes. Wait, I'm going to lose Epic since I bought it in May? The FAQ says Epics will be restored, but now that's only Epics who have bought since the last update to donator ranks? I'm confused.

So for those of us with multiple donations over the years (and I know there are many), what exactly are we supposed to do to recoup everything? Including the no longer available packages. I have all my paypal receipts, but they don't state what the payment was for, just the amount. Multiple Epics and other ranks, archer pack, claimblocks, additional unbreakable elytra and tool sets, etc.
Do we need to reclaim ranks in a certain order?

For me, the biggest question is what is being done about backups going forward. I simply can't picture myself investing more time on a server that can potentially lose everything or arbitrarily decide to reset. What has been done to improve reliability and backups?

That is the reason I am playing on another server at the same time. It is a roleplaying server where people can get married and such. I wanted to build a road system for the people without a certain rank to get to some places on there (its not too big since its the border is at 10000 blocks so I wont have any complaints. As long as I am building wedding aisles and shops I should be fine since roads leading to wedding related things would be perfect. I will call it the love Highway on there).

I emailed minecraft-server-list.com to ask if they can provide voting records to the server owner. They said they could provide it as long as they are sure it is the server owner. See the screenshot of my email below. i.imgur.com/TVUbHL5.jpgThey responded very quickly as well. So why can't our votes and the things we earned from our votes be restored now?
