"I work for PlanetMinecraft" has the same exact energy as "My dad works at Microsoft".

The fact that he typed it out each time instead of copy-paste lmao

Alternative title: roleplaying 12 year olds on planet Minecraft

Never ask: A woman her weight. A man his salary. A minecraft server owner for op.

Poor people, so happy someone is joining their server and then it's just a youtuber that asks for admin and leaves half a minute later 😢

Instead of "Can I have OP I'm reviewing this server" man slaps down "I WORK FOR PLANET MINECRAFT" XD

Those poor server owners... You know they're gonna be swamped in a requests for OP now

Back when I ran a MC server, we had a chat filtering plugin setup that would change chats similar to “op me” or “can I have admin please” Into a variation of “ban me” or “can i be banned please” It was hilarious watching them backpedal, and try again, only to say another variation of please ban me.

And the moral of the story: Lying might work someimes but if you just tell the real story you have a pretty good chance of getting what you're asking for.

damn this brought back memories. back in like 2013, i remember that my brother would try to do this and was always oddly successful with it. just going onto random little servers and asking for op. i remember watching him just messing around with his privilages. building shit with world edit and what not. a couple of times he mammaged to convince some owners to do the same with me, and then we would both get to fuck around.

If he had done this on the Minehut Network he probs could had convinced more Admins/Owners to OP him. As those server owners aren't the brightest lol

The guy who gave you OP sounds absolutely lovely and I'm glad he got his server promoted in return for his good deed. You're a good guy Sal :)

Thanks for joining our server! It was fun making you think you got OP for a brief second :) - Josh

The thing is: SalC1 is by far the person who seams the much trust-worthy on 2b2t.

Even as an ex-minecraft admin of 18 months I have no idea why people think asking for op is a perm ban offence lmao. Its harmless fun, if u aren't buying it just laugh it off

I remember I was a long-time player on a server that I played on since I was 12. I was a hella annoying player and I'm pretty sure the owner refusing to ban me played a part in the server dying (yes I was that obnoxious). I asked to be admin but was denied, but 4 years later when the server was virtually dead I was given admin privileges on a whim. Of course, I was older then and didn't care nearly as much, but it felt like such a flex. I wonder how the old players would've reacted.

Man, these in development servers give me major nostalgia for the good ole days of Minecraft.

I remember back in the day, I used to troll admins by saying "The server is a bit laggy, can you run '/stop lag' to halt some intensive features, it's a WorldGuard feature". Googling would show the real "/stoplag" command, and people just blindly type the command I suggested, translating to running "/stop" with the kick reason of "lag"

The 2nd to last server seems like a wholesome place. Please don't wreck it if you join! The owner seems super nice and let's not take advantage of that.

This is what persistence and charisma gets you

Sal trying to bring the Banned% speedrun category into Minecraft, I like it.

Sal you've just inspired an entire wave of chat spammers. Congrats

Dominick was such a nice guy

Hey, I'm in this video! I was the person named "Bee" at the beginning. NGL you gave us quite a scare just showing up like that. Just so you know, you had us really paranoid that you got hacked :P After you got banned we basically scanned all your media to see if you were legit. Good video!

I cannot understate the impact this video had on Union SMP. Due to this video and at the end of its life Union had 2,500 unique players join. Unfortunate the server owner deleted the server after eight months even though it still had an active community. However, the community that got built was so strong that today there is a sequel, Reunion SMP! In our community we are celebrating one year of your video getting posted as this brought us to together. Thanks so much Salc1!

I'm really feeling the second-hand embarrassment watching this video lmao every time he sends out the message my whole brain just goes "oh nooooooo"

Well hello there, I'm a developer on the first server you joined (texture artist, spawn builder, outreachy person). Pretty much all of us have been playing for 8+ years, and used to watch icanhasgrief back then. Some of us even watch you! You didn't get banned for asking for OP, you got banned because you were flyhacking earlier. We write out own plugins, and can tell when people use flyhacks through enough packet sniffing. Had you just used freecam, we wouldn't have given a shit. If you want to get unbanned or just talk to the owner Accell, I can get you in contact with him.

Wow I was surprised how quick these servers were to ban him. I'd think that asking for op would get a mute or something softer than a ban.

am impressed at how ruthless everyone is at ban hammering

shoulda done an alt lol, you sorta have a "reputation"

Thanks for visiting our server over at Mistylands. Hope you had fun. ❤

I tried something like this years ago during the pocket edition days and surprisingly, the admin actually gave me OP. But then he took it away 5 min later cos the other admins were yelling at him.

Sal forces himself to try and get someone with the "is your refrigerator running" joke for 12 years

Now you should pick a single server and use all of your alts to take over a random minecraft server

lmaooo this was so ridiculous and wholesome it genuinely made me smile hard at the end, thank you

Last time satan tried It he was kicked from the server

this turned out so much more wholesome than i expected, thank god. cute vid. 10/10

Banned - Reason: Scam “You have become the very thing you swore to destroy.”

ah yes a good work day at planet minecraft

Hey, I was one of the admins who said LMAO and my compatriot banned you right away. In my defence I wanted to mess with you a bit first, but glad to know this made for good content, this is a very fun idea. Fair play! Thanks for visiting

I actually did this once, but straight up just asked for op, no reasons for me to obtain it. I was just joining random minecraft servers, and I got op on a few servers. I mostly explained to them that it was a bad idea to op random people, and did a LITTLE trolling every now and then... it was fun!

Hello I work for KZfaq, may I please get Channel Moderator permissions to review the comment section.

Watching this one year later i am so sad that the server have been offline for more than half a year :(

Lmao so it was the real SalC1 It was so absurd that you joined that we all thought it was a hacked account, now I kinda feel bad for doubting you were the real deal but it just seemed so out there, sorry you didn't get to see too much lol

I once joined a server where the owner gave staff to almost all the players he knew

Another amazing video SalC1, hopefully there's a part two to this

This brings back so many memories of trying this when I was 11-12 years old. 2013-2014 minecraft will still be the best times I’ve ever had in all my years of gaming. I remember one time an admin gave me world edit privileges, but I didn’t know how to use the world edit wand at the time and got banned immediately.

Now this is what I call "top tier content". Good job SalC1! Even tho you didnt get op on most servers, still you tried lol

"I'll promote your server on my KZfaq" got them loose REAL quick lmao. Went from all caps denial to "here's op and what else can I do for you?"

Why asking for op is instantly banned is beyond me

Nice to see that admins are not stupid.

The one thing you will never hear again from sal, is “ Yes, theirs admins online!”

For some reason I feel it's totally on brand for Homestar Runner to let you take ownership of his server.

"trust" is the most value thing to earn. Congrants bro that was op sure ! Epic video

This was a very funny and wholesome video, thank you Sal^c1!

I always respected Sal, but to do this, and do it to promote smaller server owners I love every second of. This is such a tasteful change of content from the more scripted videos and it was the perfect change. Thank you, Sal.

2 guys are absolute legends ngl lol

Wholesome, the owners in the end seemed like nice people. I hope you make more content like this.

First server - banned - i burst into laughing

Pretty sure that first guy who gave him /op was the "dedodated WAM" kid that grew up.

Its cool that gamers dom has such a cool owner that he just gave salc1 op. Such a cool server

Blud said I’ll promote your sever, and magically he was OP. Business is business 😂

This is genuinely so wholesome. Just a harmless social experiment to see how far we’ve come. In many ways, we’ve gotten better (no longer believing common lies, being more skeptical), and in other ways we’ve gotten better (not a typo) (trusting people, or at least allowing a conversation of the topic). I’m not sure I agree with instant banning of a player for so much as saying “OP”. Or asking. A simple “no, stop asking” followed by a “keep asking and we will [mod action] you” if they continue would probably suffice. It just comes off as petty. That would be like getting your internet shut down by your ISP just because you sent a bad tweet or few. (The minecraft world would be equal to the internet, while chat is akin to a social network). Perhaps ban them from chat, not the server. At least at first. They haven’t broken rules past that, and I sure don’t believe in guilty until proven innocent. I get “my server, my rules”. I am stating opinions. But, it comes off as callous and petty to me. Even if it’s for saying you’re a mod from PM, I still don’t think the instant ban is justified. You could at least ask for proof, do a warning, kick, or mute. Just because someone is lying doesn’t mean they have bad intentions.

Imagine banning someone for literally just asking to be an admin in a server.

the gamersdorm guy was so wholesome

4:10 Oh man. I used to play on that server relatively frequently a couple years ago. I was a donator and everything. I ran a record store/pawn shop, and was sorta well-known for being the only shop that actually bought things from other players. It's wild. The names I recognize from back then all made mod/helper. I might have to swing by and say hi some time.

I fully expected Sal to do /deleteall to the poor man who just wanted to promote the server he loved lol

Someone once did this on a server of mine, so I started using the sudo command to make him type in all sorts of malicious commands and blamed him for them and then banned them for it. Swearing up and down like "I swear on my other's grave that I didn't do that"

The last 2 were kinda wholesome in a basement dwelling way

what seems to be a troll video turned out to being wholesome at the end lmao

Damn what nice two guys in the end. If I was still actively playing minecraft and was in search of a new server, I would totally give those a try.

8:15 casually just leaks someones ip

How to get banned speedrun be like:

I love this so much. Also, Sal mostly certainly is from Planet Minecraft

this video been in my recomendations for a while so i ended up clicking and i dont regret it

i respect that first server for banning clownery on sight

When Sal joins a minecraft server expect 2 things. Destroying economies or asking for OP

this hit video gave me nostalgia wow. i used to do this with my buddies years ago when we were younger just for fun

i just sat here and did a build for the last 17 hours. Thank you for helping me through that.

This was nostalgic

Holy crap, hearing “I work at planet Minecraft” unlocked so many repressed memories for me. I can’t believe we actually thought that would work back in the day.

I remember one of the random really obscure minecraft servers, after few minutes I tryed typing /op for my nickname. Somehow it worked, but that was at least 7 years ago.

ngl the dude saying "alright guys you know the drill" then you getting banned a couple seconds later goes hard. like they swatted you away.

If I had java I would join that kids server. I hope he gets more traffic. Seems a nice guy

This just feels like a "speedrunning getting banned on Minecraft servers" lol

this has ended up to be quite wholesome

Every time Salc1 uploads it's like Christmas

When SalC1 uploads you know it's a good day

I just released my server to the public today. If only I did it a few days earlier.

"Hello, I'm making a KZfaq video, may I have op?" This would get you so much OP

I used to do this back in 2016, I have gotten op 60% of the time. It was super fun especially on new servers that are desperate for staff.

In like 2013-14 when I was young I would always ask for op or moderation tag on small servers lol

When I was admin on a survival server, hacks like freecam weren't disabled but they pinged the anticheat so I could go look at the player to confirm and then handle them. In future if you want op its probs best to not use a hacked client as chances are a few of the servers you tried knew you were on Meteor so were never gonna buy it. Even with client spoofers some anticheats can detect hacked clients on login too. If u want op and they give it to you then you don't need to hack, if they don't give you it then you just leave and you don't need to hack. Using a client seems like unnecessary risk in this sort of video

1:31 - Fun fact, in Czech Minecraft community it´s a rule #1 on most, if not all, of the servers. Asking for OP might lead to a ban, at least it often used to back in the day (some years ago). I feel like today's admins are more chill though, so you will most likely only get muted - but as I mentioned, in the past people were getting banned on regular basis just for asking for OP - maybe that had something to do with the fact that a large amount of players were actually warez (offline/cracked game) and admins had to deal with 50 kids asking for OP every day so they just ended up making it a banable offense.

Truly a classic

yeah I remember when I was 13 or around that age I went on a server and asked for op. didn't say I worked for planet minecraft though. and I just did it to annoy people because it was against the server rules. they kept banning me for a couple minutes up to an hour before finally perma banning me

the oldest planet minecraft server on minecraft

Look at all those power hungry admins. He was just asking for op and they instantly ban someone for that? He didn't do any harm.

"My dad finally bought milk" has the same power as "I work for PlanetMinecraft"

The admin sounds exactly what I expect a minecraft mod to sound like
