I've never played on a server before and have only been playing minecraft for a little bit.
I don't understand where to get a golden shovel so I can make a space. Where is it okay to mine? Where is it okay to chop trees? The video has a /buy command that doesn't seem to exist anymore. I read t he rules, but I am still confused. How do I know if an area has not been claimed?
pretty much what jak said, as for claiming blocks all you need is 1 gold and sticks to make a gold shovel, then the server will tell you to left-click a block with the gold shovel and the select the second block with the right-click, note that the claim must be bigger than 10x10 area, you can also buy more claim blocks if you have used all your claim blocks by using the command /buyclaimblocks, if you need to delete your claim use /abandonclaim or alternatively to delete all your claims use /abandonallclaims.
Thank you. I had left the server last night and when I came back I was killed instantly by suffocating in a wall, so I wondererd if I had been cutting trees in the wrong place. I assume maybe someone took that bit of land and built on it so when I re-entered the server I was in their building.
The depressing part is I lost all the tools, wood I had collected and now have to start back from scratch (not that I had a lot, but still...)

All of the videos are for our old server which is not up at the moment.
If you are not allowed to build/mine somewhere, the server will stop you from doing it saying "You do not have [Insert name]'s permission to build or mine here"
Either that or someone will have put a sign there asking you to not build/mine.
The world is huge though, it shouldn't be hard to find an area for yourself.
As for the chopping trees, it should be ok to do that anywhere that isn't claimed, but make sure that you take all of the wood from the tree so it doesn't leave random floating trees, that is just annoying :P
