New rules concerning assigns

WoM staff has seen how users reserve areas (with their borders) and ask for assigns constantly. We will deal with this in the following ways: You will not be allowed an assign or allowed to put up your borders for your build for the first 3 days that maps are put up. This is to give others who do not use reservation borders or assigns a chance to build somewhere. Secondly, you will not get an assign for your build if it isn't at least half done.

Don't ask for people to buy you Minecraft.

If you post or PM someone about them buying you Minecraft, we will ban you. No warnings, just bans. No one here will buy you Minecraft unless they make a topic saying "I'm going to buy Minecraft for someone". I will repeat this one last time: Do not ask for someone to buy Minecraft for you.
