Not sure why everyone is like "adding islands devalues (!) current islands!!!!! oh no! BAD!!!" when that is literally the whole point.
Islands are worth wayyy too much because there is a limited supply. If the supply increases, the worth decreases. We need to devalue islands because it's simply...
I believe I provided a solution: become an architect. You'd have to try terraforming by hand to get in, though, just like I assume Purpleturkey had to.
Another would be to ask every arch to take the project, seeing how several were not asked. The request-an-arch application may help.
Another...
There’s a huge problem with giving island owners, or any non-arch, worldedit. It’s simple: the only perk that architects get is access to this command. Literally nothing else except for a tag in chat and a big plot.
Police officers get cool commands and have tons of perks. Realtors, biologists...

In actual towns/cities, there's no "spooky homes" or anything that doesn't fit in. There's even neighborhood groups that prevent this (HOA). You can always build these other-style houses in creative and not have them transferred.
So the island would be completely redesigned in creative? What about player-owned plots? Like, would those have to be rebuilt or something? I don’t see that working
The more plugins there are, the laggier the server will be (generally). There's a bunch of plugins already: brewing/drugs, mythics, slimefun, worldedit, multiverse, fishing, jobs, stocks, etc.

Taxing public islands is a terrible idea. The island owner would have to pay for the whole region space, including the plots that are owned by other people. Why should they have to pay a tax for a region they don’t even own?
The idea of controlling how many plots are regions would backfire...
Charging high taxes per plot would only affect inactive players and make them want to permanently quit the server. And if active rich people were charged a plot tax as high as you’re mentioning, they won’t be active or rich for long.
I’d like to hear someone’s opinion on how tax collecting...
Property taxes wouldn’t really help, either. Property taxes would vary greatly depending on the size/value of the plot. So, someone would have to evaluate all of the plots on the server. Then, the percent would have to be worked out. Irl the US tax rate is between 0.27% and 2.4%, which is a...

Taking turns is't a great idea since other jr admins might not be busy and could help do transfers. This would lessen the workload and make it so the requests don't build up and take hours to complete. The wait times would also go way down, which is always nice.
