Hi all!
In a bid to save our server I have created several posts on multiplayer Minecraft forums to essentially advertise the Minecraft server.
I was hoping by posting this here I would be able to get some people to review these posts and see if there is anything I should add/remove from them.
Here is one example posted to Minecraftforums.net:

Thanks.
While I appreciate the time you have put in to advertise the community on other forums (I was going to ask either you or Paddy to do something like this), it would have been polite to have posted here first so, that myself (as senior minecraft admin) and the hierarchy (Tealeaf, Pen. etc) could have checked the info and gave guidance on what to post.
Your post in wrong in several places,
1) It is a 2 month trial, not a 2 week
2) Whitelisting is not activated at this time
3) Usually under 16 year old players have a parent who is a member so that if there are any issues then we can sort it at the parental level.
4) Wouldn't have mentioned the banning bit, if we can get people to look at the forums, then read the rules here, they may look into other games we offer as well, where as they may not even come here if we talk about banning. Maybe a "there are rules in place governing griefing and wilful destruction that can be found on the DMW forums"
If there are no objections from the seniors then would you change the posts...give it till tomorrow night though, to give them a chance to air their thoughts

ah okay Sorry for not posting here first and ill change the information now... I put the part about banning as the minecraftforums are notorious for grief teams. (people who genuinely look for any server and go to any lengths to grief a server. So putting the banning notice is really for 'legality' of our server [what I mean by that is that they have been warned])
However, thank you for the response and again sorry for the confusion on where to post first. =D
