So far, so good. One week later, it seems the world is thriving just fine under these new policies.
One clarification on this one because of questions turtle and I have gotten in-game:

"No OP status" really means "no OP status". You can't on one hand complain about OP's abusing their powers for themselves while on the other hand asking for OP favors when it benefits you. Turtle and I will
not be granting requests for OP "magic", and we will only use the console in dire situations. "I need some X block" or "help I'm stuck in a cave" do not count as dire situations. Rather, "the server is down" or "we've been griefed" are the kind of cases that warrant using administrative privileges to investigate and resolve problems.
