What lego and I did was actually quite smart. We build a river around a base, and built a boat in it, while they were online and being sieged by someone. From the boat, in the unclaimed area, we made a crane, which fit in front of the iron door, which was facing inwards (there was a ledge). On the end of said crane was a wooden button; as many people as we could fit sat on the ledge, the boat moved into the claim, or nearer to it, and the button was shot, hence gaining us access to the claim.
Now, this method had been used in the past, and there were tutorials on the forums regarding how to do it. I’m not disputing the warning, due to rule 3 (I think that’s the one, about not arguing with staff) but the method had been used before, with no staff objections, and it was really quite annoying to see lego banned over such a trivial matter, let alone the fact we were unaware of the rule’s existence.
My personal opinion is that if someone takes the time to build a contraption that can worm it’s way around your base, so that access can be gained to it, they are not at fault; it is a siege weapon, much like a catapult. It’s always the duty of the defender to protect the base; a simple double iron door would prevent this from happening, as would flint and steel.
Idk, just my two pennies.
