In order:
no, if you build laggy stuff that spill items you will get warned and if it happens to often you will be banned
protection isn't needed or wanted, we believe in trust and if something happens we log everything with prism
we dont want easy teleporting theres plenty of modded items to connect with other players or just meet at spawn
mining world exists in form usually the deep dark or in this pack aroma's mining dim, again why add a plugin when a modded alternative exists
spawn isnt protected so everyone can build there, same as above for general protection applies
if you wanna trade use chat or use one of the various modded blocks to do so
votelists are pointless and attract people we aren't interested in, the server is full enough as it is, we arent working for a profit nor do we want kits or ranks
being afk doesnt hurt anyone, since we allow chunkloading anyway
In general all the points you listed don't really apply to the way this server is run and our philosophy. We are a community server and wanna let people play as they want as long as it doesn't harm the server stability too much. Most of the things you listed are maybe good for public servers, just not for us 😉 For further reading look at the links im my signature, mainly the server history link.
edit: I added a bunch of your questions to the FAQ!
