Making All Traps mean't for players not Allowed in the nether

[Ethanlues]

I believe its rude to deliberately make traps so that people can fall & die in them

We know the Nether is a dangerous place at the best of times. But in Single Play when you go to the nether and know that there is that element of danger, you can make a safe passage to where you want to go by building one.
In CV Nether you would expect the same. To make a safe way.
So why is it ok for someone to come and UNSAFE your safe way? Why is it ok to hurt people intentionally? We are not allowed to do this in CV, so why in the nether?
I know this rule has been in the CV rules since before my time, but its has only NOW become an issue where people are intentionally making traps.
In all my years on CV, no one has done this in the mass way it has been done in this past week.
What has become of CV? Why are people (now of all times) becoming so nasty, so hurtful. Is it all this isolation, all this hurt and anxiety we are all trying to fight away, but can't, so we are taking it out on our fellow CV'ians.
I wonder.

You say it has become an issue, but who has been affected by this? Sure you might be able to find a bunch of traps, but can you show me more than a few people who have died, lost all their stuff, and been upset over this because they died and lost their stuff?

Traps aren't good or anything, but I understand why they need to give the option. It gives certain people who are more chaotic an outlet for their griefing/traps. It does not mess with the main world, and as long as players understand the risks involved in the nether, they can fairly easily dodge these problems.

How can you dodge it, when you put up a safe way for people to travel and someone traps it on you and it's next to a lava ocean that you have to cross.
I thought you of all people would understand this Weather. When there is no DM yet.

I agree with Tis , How is it fair when you try to make a solution to a problem ( by making a safe passageway) and then someone comes in just to set traps on it?

Hi guys.
It was stated earlier but I want to make sure it is clear again - regardless of people’s opinions for or against this, you absolutely may not attack people for their opinions. Calling people names or otherwise calling out individual players for their opinion will not be tolerated. Please be respectful.
Thanks.

Look, I don’t like traps in the nether, but they do have a place. It's not like the nether is a necessary place to go anyway.

I haven’t actually voted on the poll because I honestly don’t care. As I said before, they have a place, and the admins were wise enough to make sure that place was in the nether and not the overworld.

It is not necessary to go to the nether. Nobody is forcing anyone to.

Also, the concept of pathways being trapped near lava oceans was brought up, but it is fairly easy to spot them (especially if they are on a bridge going over lava) and then you can just defuse them OR just go around them.

It's not like these traps are common, and people dying to them is even less common.

I DO hope people stop making these traps, HOWEVER I don't think outlawing them will be the right answer. But, I don’t know. It really is for the SAs to decide.

Well I just recently died to a trap that involves quartz ore , basically you mine the quartz ore , and then lava comes up behind and in front of you and kills you

Ok now a lot of people are saying 'yeah but its a could, not many ppl have died in them'. I know at least 3 people who have died in them and one who lost their hard earned stuff. Its not a could anymore, its a reality now, and it is becoming a problem - its not just something we suddenly noticed after Tis fell in Cobble's trap - this is actually becoming a thing now
