Probably time to repost this again.
Helping new builders

Please don’t give them items to make a tardis as soon as they join ..unless you actually know them. I have noticed for a long time that new players who try begging and scrounging for free materials soon as they join are generally too lazy to do anything themselves and the mostly likely candidates to steal from other players at the first opportunity.
If they are to lazy to get the items they need and refuse to find out for themselves what basic commands are available or what the expected behaviour here is, I don’t want them. Its great to see players being helped out by others, but let the new builders prove themselves first and earn the help they want. So many new builders turn out to be thieves or cheats, letting a brand new builder work with you is not a good idea until they have been around a while to earn a trusted reputation. The worst of the players banned will have everything they have done rolled back, and you really don’t want to lose a lot of your work. Most get caught fairly quickly, although I still find damage and items missing we didn’t know about months after they have been banned, which is why I usually roll back everything they have done, to undo what else we haven’t even discovered yet.
