Panther's Terraria Server

I have been playing on this server for quite a few months now, and I have seen every perspective. A new player that wants a area to build, a progressing player creating huge baces and farms to attempt to make more soul shards, to a newer moderator trying to weed out the hackers so that legit players can play in peace. I feel that I understand all sides of the argument.
SSC has always made this server unique. The added differculty of beginning a new world that is already in hardmode, while fighting alongside or against your friends, has always appealed to me. I see why newer players find issue with SSC, as it is hard to start out in hardmode and the items you work to get in single player become useless, but removing SSC would break a lot more than it fixes.
Without SSC the server would attract even more hackers, and make it even harder to weed hacking players out of the server. Hackers can hack in endgame and over powered items in their single player then bring them to the server, and moderators would not be able to determine if they where telling the truth easially. Unfortunately, that one bad apple can ruin the bunch. One hacker left unattended can distribute those endgame items, destroy the econimy of the server, and destroy the meaning of the accomplishments achieved by legit players.
The fact that you have to actually work for your items allows this server to hold interest. Other servers become boring after a day because you have no goal, nothing to work toward. The fact that this server keeps the two overall goals of terraria, to receive rewards for the work you put into the game as well as the overall progression of the game, makes this server fun.
If you hack, you bacically finish the game with the press of a few buttons, but if you actually put hard work into getting your items should give you a feeling of accomplishment. The feeling that you get when you realize did not take the easy way (hacking) to get your items, would be gone along with SSC.
I personally vote that this server should keep SSC. I hope that if you stand in opposition to ssc, you realize the points I have written and begin to see the issue from another point of view.
P.s. I know I wrote a lot. I get carried away with writing about videogames. I once wrote ten pages on the mechanics of final fantasy 14: a realm reborn. =)
P.s.s. don't bother correcting my grammar and or spelling mistakes. I bet there is a ton of them.
