Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

About an hour ago I started in to my friend Doodle's world, "The Greatest News". About half an hour ago, the room was suddenly killed for no apparent reason. This has happened multiple times. However, this time, the room was also set by whoever killed it to "Not Visible", so no one can get into it anymore. And I know it wasn't Doodle, as he hasn't been on for several hours.
In short, killing and setting a room to "not visible" so no one can enter, for no good reason, is clearly mod abuse. This should not be tolerated. Allowing this will allow mods to completely kill off any rooms they don't like as long as the owner hasn't been on the game recently.

The EE Terms and Conditions states that the TaC "are rules and guidelines in place that everyone must follow." This includes the game staff.
However, one of the moderators has clearly violated the clause of "discriminates other people based on their religion, race, sex, political beliefs, age, sexuality, or anything else."
Yesterday, I reported the user 'TheLizardFace5151' for harassment due to my religion. The result? He was banned for five hours:
Today, I opened up a level called "The Only Way", and was banned for "advertising religious content'. The result? A seven-day ban.
I think we can all agree that this is clear discrimination of me due to my religious beliefs. A 7-day ban for simply sharing my beliefs vs a 5-hour ban for harassment is totally and completely lopsided. I demand that the moderator who so clearly broke the TaC be punished for this immediately, and that my ban be reduced to no more than five hours.
Thanks,

The New Testament has lasted over 1900 years and still stands as one of the most well-known and respected books in the world. Put it in science fiction or fantasy and every single book written before the 1800s would have to go there as well. No other book has as much evidence for its historiocity as the New Testament. No matter how much whining, mocking, lying, or Wikipedia quotes you throw at it, the fact remains that no acknowledged classics/history department at any university in the world would argue that the New Testament is historically inaccurate, and in fact you can visit any university and ask them yourselves, and you would get the same answer - the New Testament is historically reliable without question.
In all honesty, what did you expect? It's the most popular book in the world, with the most care taken in its translation and transcription. Critics everywhere have been trying to prove it wrong for hundreds of years, and yet it still is here today.
Now, you may be wondering why I'm talking about the New Testament as opposed to the Old Testament. The reason is that they are separate for a reason. The Old Testament cannot be proven true or false because the only witnesses to everything that happened would be God himself. All other witnesses (writing or person) have been lost.
I've been banned by Zoey for running my Rainbow Road bot. Yeah, seriously. Apparently telling people their times via PM is "spam/harassment + advertising"...
It seemed that another "executive decision" has been made by Xenonetix that free speech is no longer allowed in Everybody Edits.
Early Sunday morning I was banned by Zoey2070 for "Advertising": https://imgur.com/SOngqYh
The level in question is the one Kira posted about here: https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewt … 31965&p=60. Despite the fact that the level had only two quotes from the Bible (1 Peter 2:7-8; Romans 3:4), neither of which have any hate speech whatsoever, apparently any Bible verses at all are now seen as "advertising" and will get you banned.
I attempted to discuss this with Xenonetix, and this is the response: https://imgur.com/T2akjNn
As you can see, we are no longer allowed to post anything we believe on any signs, nor are we allowed to say anything we believe to anyone, even in our own levels, or we will be banned for "advertising". According to him, we are "able" to answer questions if they are addressed specifically to us, and ONLY in the chat, but then again...: https://imgur.com/RUvtp6x
Of course, if they don't like your answers, or if too many questions are asked at once, then the room will be killed and you'll be banned for "not keeping a nice atmosphere": https://imgur.com/nt6NG44
And, if you try to give evidence to support any unjustified ban, they'll just ignore you, because only seeing it from their side matters: https://imgur.com/pReCQGo
So, in conclusion:
1) Putting a sign on any level that states your belief is a bannable offense for "advertising".
2) Saying what you believe to anyone in any level is a bannable offense for "advertising".
3) Answering direct questions about what you believe will only be allowed if you didn't start the conversation, it isn't considered "debating", they like the answers you give, and if too many people don't ask questions at once; otherwise, it's a bannable offense for "not keeping a nice atmosphere".
4) Any attempt to give proof that you were wrongfully banned will be ignored.
5) These choices were made solely by the owner of Everybody Edits with no discussion among the staff or community, and without any clear acknowledgement in the Terms and Conditions.
People have been stating that I am a bigot and homophobe for printing a sign that said, "The Bible clearly states that homosexuality is a sin (1 Corinthians)". And they're even comparing me to people who mass-murdered homosexuals.
Nowhere did I say I hate homosexuals.
So let me make my view on this very clear, because it seems no one has actually read or understood any of the levels I made.
1. I believe the Bible is true. Therefore, my levels contain a ton of Scripture. I did this to show not my own opinions, but what the Bible actually says. But at the same time, I can use my own words to summarize what multiple verses say together. This is called "summarizing", and it is done with many, many books by every student in the world sometime in their life.
2. The Bible states the following: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Matthew 5:9); "You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." (Matthew 5:38-39); "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:43-44). These are direct commands by Christ, who Christians believe is God himself. So anyone not doing these things isn't actually a follower of Christ, as he says himself, "So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples"" (John 8:31), and again, "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21). So hating homosexuals is against Christ's teaching, as is murder; and I haven't done either or condoned either. So stop attempting to say I do so.
In short, I only share what the Bible teaches, and the Bible teaches to love your enemies (God himself teaches it). That is exactly what I've been doing; I do not hate homosexuals, I love them. And nowhere has anyone proven otherwise.
I forgive you all for the wrongs you have done me.
Thanks,
AK712
How dare you twist the facts and play the victim card and yet call yourself a Christian? Pseudo-christians like you are what disgusts me the most. People that are trying to look like they're living the righteous life but on the inside they're just pieces of ****
Wow, nice hate speech. I am not twisting any facts; in fact, you, Atilla, Xenonetix, and others are the ones twisting a single sign in a single level and making me "a bigot and homophobe" for stating that "The Bible states that homosexuality is a sin". Pathetic.
AK712 wrote:There was no hate speech ever. You're playing the vicitm here, as well as making a strawman argument.
One of the signs in my levels stated the following: "The Bible clearly states that homosexuality is a sin (1 Corinthians)".
Nowhere in that is hate speech.
the victims are untold millions who have been slaughtered for being homosexual by Christian zealots, as the Bible clearly states they should.
Wow. Look who is twisting the facts.
Where are these supposed "millions of victims"? And how have you come to the conclusion that I'm the same? Pathetic.
You were banned for hate speech for your homophobia, which isn't allowed in the game. Try harder with the victim complex though, there's plenty of Christians in the game, and they're welcomed, and thankfully they aren't espousing homophobia.
There was no hate speech ever. You're playing the vicitm here, as well as making a strawman argument.
One of the signs in my levels stated the following: "The Bible clearly states that homosexuality is a sin (1 Corinthians)".
Nowhere in that is hate speech.
It is official: I have been banned for three days. The cause: "Please keep Everybody Edits a nice, respectful place for everyone".
In other words: no cause.
In other words, I've been banned by abusive moderators/owners who refuse to allow me to tell people what I believe. I have been banned simply for being a Christian.
Thanks,
AK712
You should be very happy you haven't gotten banned for hate speech. In the end, as always, bigotry loses.
"Bigotry loses"
Says the guy who got access into the game servers and banned moderators simply because they disagreed with you.
Says the guy who hacked admin accounts in 2012 because they disagreed with you.
Sad.
Xenonetix has made an "executive decision".
Wow.
All I can say is, good luck with this "leader".
Thanks,

Honestly... I have no clue what the heck is going on now.
You aren't merely discussing religion, you're creating a world to debate and instigate, and in doing so you play up a victim card whilst kicking people who have opposing opinions. You kicked me for stating Mother Theresa wasn't a good person, and several other people who claimed there isn't such thing as "objective morality". It isn't a respectful debate or even an attempt at maintaining one when you kick people for opposing opinions. It is that which is why having debate worlds is a bad idea, and should probably be against the rules.
If someone is just discussing religion in a random world, that's different than advertising COME DEBATE ME GUYS and kicking them for an opposing opinion.
You're stating that I kicked people for having an opposing opinion and that's it. We all know that's not true. I already stated the reasons for kicking you, and John (Emalton) also stated it.
But it seems all you're trying to do is a strawman argument.
It would also seem that our owner refuses to admit when he lies, and apparently believes in "treating others how we treat him." Real nice guy for a game owner.
Want to know a real hypocrite?
Honestly... I have no clue what the heck is going on now.
Straight from the owner himself: It is not against the rules to discuss religion.
When you hear it, you either get it or you don’t.
You can explain it and explain it and explain it and people will still not get it.
Sometimes after years of not getting it, something happens in your life that makes you say, “Oh, now I get it.” We call this feeling an epiphany.
You can tell by the quality of their laughter whether or not people get it. Some laugh along because they think they’re supposed to. Some assume that to be good, the joke must be at someone’s expense…
…but the best jokes are not told at anyone else’s expense. The best presentations of the Gospel contain no malice or contempt.
Sometimes you hear it so often you stop laughing. But maybe one day it sneaks up on you and you get it again, and you start laughing and can’t stop.
Sometimes you laugh so hard it hurts. Sometimes you laugh through your tears.
Sometimes you hear it and it’s not funny. Sometimes it’s the delivery. Other times it’s your attitude.
Something about being with other people who get it makes you laugh that much harder. Sometimes a group of you start laughing and you can’t stop, because you keep each other going. These moments of joy are when you feel most strongly that life is good, that this is a slice of heaven, and you want it to never end.
Sometimes when you try to tell it, it’s not funny. Usually it is because you are trying too hard. The best humor and the best Gospel emerges from being authentically human.
When you tell a really good joke, nobody stops you by saying, “Yeah, I’ve heard that before,” because it’s worth hearing again.
Sometimes you don’t laugh, but you smile inside.
"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!' But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, 'Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?' So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." - Romans 10:14-17
If you think I'm going to stop spreading the Gospel because the owner, some of the admins, and much of the community doesn't want me to... watch me.

Why did you do this on a children's sandbox smiley game
I'm sorry. I didn't know that you thought that children didn't deserve to know the truth, or that you thought they were incapable of understanding basic facts about the Bible. My apologies.
I believe that there is no wrong place to spread the Gospel. It's called "the good news" for a reason. Why would you want to stop the spread of good news?
Thanks,

This is absurd.
My level was cleared, apparently because I was "debating religion". I was not. Everyone else was. Apparently no one read the signs that stated that it was a sign Q&A, not an active debate.
The entire purpose of the level was to show my stance on what the Bible said and what Christianity was about. It was not for everyone to shout out their opinions about what I thought. If you want to make a level about what YOU think, YOU should make a level about it.
And the REAL absurdity is that Xenonetix apparently made an executive decision about what the Bible says, which is most DEFINITELY "discussing religion". He states that he's only "stating the facts", and then proceeds to say what the Bible means. It would seem the game owner isn't even capable of keeping his own rules:
xenonetix[4/14/2018 4:59:12 PM UTC] I don't believe it necessary to voice my opinion here, but I will state the facts
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:00:11 PM UTC] Firstly, Everybody Edits really shouldn't be a place for political debate
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:00:20 PM UTC] Or religious debate
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:00:27 PM UTC] Or sexual debate
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:00:50 PM UTC] JET: I said "shouldn't" - It's not against the rules
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:01:22 PM UTC] Secondly, the sign is correct, to an extent, although the passage is taken out of context
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:02:32 PM UTC] So, the context of the bible is that the act of intercourse is purely for reproduction and not for pleasure
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:03:05 PM UTC] As such, any such acts of pleasure are basis for sin, according to the bible
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:03:11 PM UTC] And are acts of temptation
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:03:15 PM UTC] And TEMPTATION is the sin
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:03:38 PM UTC] So if you give in to the TEMPTATION to be homosexual, that is defined as a sin
xenonetix[4/14/2018 5:04:23 PM UTC] Anyway, I just thought I'd state the facts of the matter
In short, Xenonetix tells us we can't discuss religion, then apparently gets to decide what the Bible says and states it as "facts". And he's not even a Christian.
Wow.
Let me explain what happened just a half-hour ago.
A very large amount of people went into my level, and without reading the signs, they started asking questions and expecting immediate answers.
Had any of them read the signs explaining the purpose of the level, they would have noticed they said it was a Q&A level about Christianity, where they would ask a question, and I would record their question on a sign, research the question, and then respond in signs.
Instead, everyone started asking questions that had absolutely nothing to do with Christianity, and then expected that I would have the answers on hand with no research done.
Well, that's stupid.
I also kicked a large amount of people for harassment and offensive language, but apparently everyone got angry that I did so and immediately started accusing me of being a bigot.
That is also stupid.
Therefore, I am releasing two things.
Firstly, I am releasing a full chat log of all of the activity on all of my Christian-based levels since December. This will make it very clear who is in the wrong.
Secondly, I am releasing a compiled list of screenshots of the worst and weirdest responses to these levels, to show just what I have to deal with on a daily basis from your so-called "great community".
I made this Q&A level for the sole purpose of explaining what I believe the Bible says about certain things, but not only do you not accept any of my answers, you refuse to respect me for my beliefs, and even condemn me as a bigot for daring to believe something different than some of you.
It seems that the only thing a lot of this community is good at is hate.

I've been waiting for a long time for this game to get good ownership and a good team together.
Too long. It hasn't happened.
Therefore, as a programmer myself, I've decided to strike out on mine own, and to develop my own multiplayer level editor. In short, I'm going to make a game that has everything EE should have had, but never did, due to lazy and/or incompetent team members.
It is now March 2nd. Your time table says that your so-called "revamp" of Everybody Edits will be in Beta early 2019, but I'm going to try and get my own game's Beta version out by December 2018. This will force you to either work harder than ever to make this game better for its community (which, really, you should have been doing these past few months), or get destroyed by the competition.
The clock is ticking. The race is now on.

Hello Everybody Edits,
Many of you remember that about a year or so ago, JaWapa was removed as a game administrator for allegedly "selling gems on the black market". Nou stated that, "by generating gem coupons with huge amounts of gems and selling these gems in smaller portions to people directly, he has been stealing money from the game".
However, his so-called "evidence" was a whopping three screenshots, which make practically no mention of JaWapa and easily could have been faked. A lack of witnesses to these "crimes" and a general surpsise by the staff members at that time made it even more suspicious.
Since then, Nou has been proven to be a liar, a joke, and a considerably terrible game owner. Any character he supposedly had has been shot down. Therefore, for the sake of law and justice, and because JaWapa is still taking a considerable amount of verbal abuse due to these verbal allegations, I'm finally taking this stand.
According to justice, a person is innocent until proven guilty; therefore, JaWapa is innocent of all charges. Not a single person has been able to prove any amount of guilt in this subject. Therefore, I say it's time to end the verbal abuse against him, and start treating him like a human being who deserves respect and care.
Thanks,
AK712

A puzzle level by me. Can you solve the puzzle and reach the end before you lose your mind?
I'm really afraid that this is exactly what I've been saying for years, although no one has listened to me, and now look where we are.
In all reality, a game isn't about the progress it makes. It's about the people. There are many games out there that have had no progress for a very long time, but they still have quite an active community. Why? Because the people stick together. They rarely fight, but when they do, they settle it with help from others inside the community.
This game just hasn't had a stable enough community. Everyone has been fighting. Relations between staff and players has gone basically nowhere, and has even grown worse. Ideas from the community are rarely taken.
Even if games WERE about progress, we have to admit that EE just isn't "new" or "creative" anymore. There are more and more level editor games that have made vast improvements on EE. It doesn't help that we've had very little happen, although I do thank the developers, artists, etc. for what they've been able to accomplish.
Sad to say, there is a time when a game must give up the fight, for the sake of its players. It's been fun, but I think all of us would do better to find new, exciting games with more inviting communities. It's time to say goodbye to EE.
I follow date guidelines: content should be available for the same amount of time before and after the holiday. For example, Halloween items available from a week before to a week after, or Christmas items two weeks before to two weeks after. This can also be done with themed events (different loadscreens, etc.)
The point of every video game is to get better. Why not fix the little inconsistencies while you have the time to? It'll make the game better. They're not even that difficult to fix.
Let's not even START on the inconsistencies in the level data (rotations being different numbers for different tiles, same thing for colors)
Let me set one thing straight here for all of you.
Ignorance of the rules does NOT mean you can break them. When you're pulled over for speeding and you tell the officer "I didn't know what the speed limit was", what are you going to get? A ticket. For speeding.
So when you evade the chat censors, you're going to get banned. For evading the chat censors. Maybe you should have read the rules before doing something like that. The mods aren't "over-modding", they're simply doing their jobs.
