Getting help.

[Temple Priest]

Lately there has been a huge increase in support threads requesting for help due to an item being lost. Really now; Its an item. You don't need it to have fun on the server, and most items (save for a couple things like dungeon drops and the rod of discord) are really easy to get anyway. Moderators can't, and hopefully won't, return these items when you ask for support, and otherwise there is nothing they can do. These threads are not necessary and think before you post: Is it something a moderator can actually solve? Is there any actual proof of what i need support for? Can I solve it myself? Because chances are, unless its a general server problem (Item frames have been reported fairly often, with good reason, and is the reason why I myself try to remove them), or really anything on the actual server rule list, its probably something you can solve without a support thread.

Most of these reports come from things like dropping, item frames, and simply disappearing from their inventory.. So:
Dropping: You can remove your bind-key completely by following these instructions. Alternatively rebind your key to something odd like the "\" key or simply train yourself to avoid pressing that button often.
Item Frames: The grand majority of you have cell phones. Screenshot the item frame and put in the position of the item frame and request in support that it be removed. For those of you that don't have cellphones: Screenshot a large area around it. Most of us moderators have a large portion, if not all of the surface of the world. If you managed to find an item frame somewhere deep underground and accidentally click it with an important item, then item frames are the least of your worries.
Disappearance: Should be pretty obvious that if your items are randomly disappearing then you are dropping it without knowing, which you can fix, or something that is beyond anyone's control and not something that can be solved by a support thread.
Glitches: According to @Pride (thanks btw) you can lose your item while using it when entering a minigame. Solution: Don't do it. 
Anyone's best option if you ever run into something like this is to ask a person who sells stuff. It shouldn't be hard to get things like that because people practically spam the chat with all the items they are selling, which are usually useful, popular items, and probably something that would have been worth reporting otherwise.

Also. Y now people should be smart enough to now item frames will kill your items and also this thread should tell people wot NOT to so and not lose your items so ANYBODY READING THIS THREAD PAY ATTENTION TO HOW YOU CAN LOSE YOUR ITEMS AND TAKE CAUTIONS WHEN DOING THESE THINGS ALSO TO PLAYERS WHO HAVE NOT READ ANY/ALL OF IT PLEASE DO READ IT ALL IT CONTAINS INFORMATION YOU WILL WANT TO NOW! also thank Temple for giving you a warning take precautions in things you do or you will probably resolve for a ban for countless posting in support threads.also do pgup for throwing button/look for the thread here that tells you how to delete your throwing button if it is a problem for you.

In addition to Temple's given problems and solutions, I would like to add that Players should not hold an item if they have joined the lobby of a minigame. It is most likely that their items will be dropped if they continue to hold it in mid air until the minigame commences. That's how I lost two Snowman Cannons,

And yes, thank you very much Temple for bringing a solution for such problems to the Public,

Wubwub!

Just a quick story, everytime I am close to a weapon rack I will get a super healing potion in my hand, just dont get any tool or weapon stuff.

@Kap saves the world in this thread by telling how to completely unbind the throw key. This is something everyone should do to permanently avoid dropping items accidentally ever again.
