My cousin and I just started a Minecraft server that we call XMDCraft.  It is a laid back(-ish) server.  We do have rules like no griefing and stuff, but yeah.
To play on XMDCraft you first need to sign up at our website http://xmdcraft.com/ .  This will automatically whitelist your Minecraft username (you must put it in when you sign up).
Then when you log on you must take a quiz to change from Guest status to Builder status.
The Ranks (from high to low):
Admin (two brianmaurer42 (XVicarious) and jewfrogarrett148)
Mod
Trusted Builder
Builder
Guest

We have the following plugins installed (permissions are still being set up though):
WorldEdit
VoxelSniper
Essentials
GroupManager
MCBans
Craftbook (Mech)
BorderGuard
WorldGuard
iConomy
PhysicalShop
godPowers
LWC
Multiverse (full, all plugins)
StartersQuiz
