Like stated above, the freebuild plot was actually accessible for everyone who wanted to build their redstone creations. However, due to some admin back-end work, there appeared a bug in the OREutils plugin which did some funny stuff with the rules being applied to the plots. Due to this "derp", new visitors could build everywhere. Not only on freebuild, but also on plots of players who joined the server after this derp. Players that got their plot before this bug weren't affected, so wasn't spawn.
So we had the hard task of deciding to either close freebuild, or hoping that visitors wouldn't notice the bug and keep them strictly to the rules. Yeah, we tried the 2nd solution for about 2 weeks, which really did not work out that well. Visitors we're griefing every day (i think i never banned that many players in a week before), and rolling back all the stuff was a pain in the ass. So, to prevent any further griefing, and to give new students a safe place to work, i removed all the place, drop, interacts etc. permissions from the Visitors.
There is also some good news to this; once OREutils V2 comes out, the problem should be fixed and we will have the good old freebuild plot back how it used to be
That is a very reasonable explanation. I guess I didn't see thw hole story.... Anyway, I guess all I can wait for is for the new version to come out for the benefit of the visitors
