‘How can I get my YT rank / How tO YoutUbE rANk’

Firstly, the requirements are you need;
At least one video on Brlns
1,000+ Subs

Secondly, there are two ways to Aquire your rank/prefix

1. Go to the server then type /youtube [Your channel name] [Your Email adress] (Without the []’s)
(You may have too many warning points in which case do #2

2. Go to the forums (Where you are now) And go to the ‘Support section’
Then you create a thread with the following info;
Your YT channel’s name
Your IGN (In game name)
And a screenshot to prove you own it. (Example below)
View attachment
The reason a photo like this proves you own the channel is simple; you can’t subscribe to yourself.
Tag staff that are Moderators Global Moderators or Admins (Don't tag vertx)
And then you wait. (BE PATIENT, The staff have the whole forums to help, they’ll get to you eventually)


‘How do I become staff’

Simple, really.

Be responsible,
Kind,
Smart (Staff need intuition and to know HOW TO NOT GET HOODWINKED)
Report hackers, Invis skinners, swearers, etc.
Help people on the server and forums.

Once you do this, apply here https://apply.brlns.net/

Simple.

Good luck.


‘How to get GOLD/DIAMOND/EMERALD (VIP Ranks)'

First, you need a PayPal account, debit or credit card.

Then, go to the brlns shop, add GOLD rank, DIAMOND rank or EMERALD rank to your cart, then proceed to checkout, buy one (ONLY BUY ONE) enter your Minecraft username and bam.

(GOLD is 5$ And lasts for one month)
(DIAMOND is 10$ and lasts for three months)
(EMERALD is 25$ and lasts forever)



Why do I want a VIP rank?’


Well, being a VIP gives you access to cool items and commands normal players cant get!
Like VIP walk trails, Pets, Magic staff effects and more!

The commands are;

/tag [Turn on and off the visibility of your VIP tag]

/color [Change the color of your Name and Chat]
(Use: say just /Color and a list of colors come up (Color of the word is the color of the text), lets say "Sky" is this color (It is) Use /color chat sky and everything you say is this color, same with your name, but instead of chat you put nick.

/fly [This lets you soar around the lobby like a majestic parrot on steroids!]
(Note: /tag MUST be enabled for this command to work so you don’t get reported for hacking)
(Note 2. If you see a VIP flying while playing in a game then they are hacking, so please report them.)

/stats [This allows you to see another player's stats]
(Let's say you wanted to see Hazard_dutchAD’s stats, you would say /stats Hazard_DutchAD
And it would come up with this;)
View attachment
(Yes @HazardTheDutchAD I just leaked your stats)

/pet [This allows you to change the name of your pet]
/pet [What you want the name to be] [Color Code]


/friend alerts [This tells you when a friend leaves or joins any server]
Example: Let's say my friend is Hazard_TheDutchAD (Yes @HazardTheDutchAD I am always going to use you for examples get used to it XD)
If Hazard joined the server I’m in, it would say

Alert Hazard_DutchAD is now online
If he joined a server that isn’t mine (Let's say he joined MurderMystery and I was playing BlockParty) it would say ((No idea why anyone would ever want to join a server that I'm not in, though)
Alert Hazard_DutchAD is now playing MM
If he left the server altogether it would say
Alert Hazard_DutchAD is now offline
If he joined another server (From the orange dye in your inventory or /friend join) it would say
Alert Hazard_DutchAD is no longer online



/bold [Changes the users tag from bold text]

Plus, you get cool boosts like x2 coins and can create crews no matter your level.


‘How to create a private conversation/Why would I want to create a private conversation’
(Suggested by @LucasTheDutchAD)

Private conversations are a great place to have out with friends, although you can only have five people invited.

Creating a private conversation is like making a thread, but it's in another place, although you do have to invite people.
Name the conversation, add someone by their forums name, add text and create the convo!

https://brokenlens.xyz/forums/conversations/add <————— click here to make a convo!


‘My Xbox name isn’t the same as my server name’

Thankfully with the brilliance of vertx, this is easily fixed.
There used to be a /switch command, but that was removed, now all you need to do is say /logout, it will kick you from the server. Join again and do /login and it will bring up a screen where you can put the username and password, put in the correct info and you’re in!

‘I didn’t buy the game and now I cant play brokenlens’

Honestly, that is really your own fault.
They added that so people like you stop Stealing their game, how do you expect them to make Minecraft better with more updates if they have no money?
Spend the 11-20 dollars and buy the game.

‘I was an invisible skinner and now I'm banned/What happens to Invisible skinners?’

Being invisible is a BIG advantage over other players, and is not allowed on our server, it's not fair on others who need to kill you if they can’t see you.
This also goes for partial skins, like little dogs or children, and Both will be asked to change their skins and if they refuse they will be banned for 24 hours.
The size needed for a partial skin is at least one block tall and visible from ALL SIDES.
(Skin packs count, too.)

‘The forums say my image/screenshot is too large for the server to process’

This is very annoying and happens to me a lot for reports, but just upload it here
https://imgur.com/upload and send a link in the thread, easy!
(Note: Uploading images to the site is the same process as the forums)

'I'm not sure what the rules are'

I'm adding this because the more places these are on the forums, the more people will see it and I don't like it when people are banned for something they didn't know was against the rules.

Offence > Punishment > Description (If needed)

Abusing/Bullying > 2-day ban (longer if the offense is repeated) > Excessive abuse/bullying of another player

Advertising (Channel) > 10-day ban > Advertising a channel with no BrokenLens content

Advertising (Server) > Permanent ban > Advertising the IP address of another server

Bypassing (Ban) > Permanent ban > Using another account to access the server while one of their accounts is banned

Bypassing (Mute) > Ban for the same amount of time as mute > Using another account to chat while one of their accounts is muted

Chargeback > Permanent ban > A chargeback is basically when you buy a rank or something else from the shop and then claim you didn't buy it and someone else did, and get the money back in your account.
Excessive Bans > Permanent ban > Five or more bans of a legitimate reason

Glitch Exploiting > 7-day ban > Abusing any server or Minecraft glitch to benefit themselves

Hacking > Permanent ban > Hacks of any kind

Impersonating Staff > 3-day ban + 6 day mute > Pretending to be a staff member

Inappropriate Language > 1-3 day mute (Chat) / 1 day ban (Trm/Crm) > Crude language towards other in chat or messages

Inappropriate Links > 5 day ban > Links containing porn, racial/ religious content, Ect.

Inappropriate Roleplay* > 2 day mute > Roleplay that does not follow our roleplay guidelines

Inappropriate Skin > 1-day ban > Skins containing genitalia or anything else a staff member deems inappropriate

Invisible Skin** > 1-day ban > Skins that do not fit our guidelines for skin size

Offensive Username > Permanent ban > Having a username directly offending another user or staff

Racial/Religious Disputes*** > 3 day ban > Arguments involving race, religion, lgbtq+, Ect.

Spamming > 1 day mute (Chat) / 1 day ban (Trm/Crm) > Spamming messages


'I just joined the forums and people are using terms I don't understand'

I get it, it's like we use a whole different language, but I'll make a list of a few terms here.
Name - Description

Tryhard - Someone who helps the server (Mostly to become staff) But some people help because they like the server.

Hackusate - Accuse someone of hacking

Brlns - BrokenLens

Ldb - Leaderboard

(More may be added when i think of them, I use the forums so much terms dont really stick out to me anymore!)

For the getting ranks (Gold/Diamond/Emerald), Doesn’t the ranks each cost that much in USD, right? (Just suggesting, maybe you should add that to clear confusion for those who are in different countries. If I’m wrong, ehhh... *disappears* xD) To be specific.

And nice, This seems helpful :laugh:
