1) I have always wanted to see at least a half-decent server at work, and I think this one is more than decent.
2) I have been playing SSP since Minecraft Alpha, but I have always been looking for a server that I can play on comfortably and fits in with my ideals, and this one in particular seems to be the one.
3) I have no problems with the rules at all, they're actually quite fair
4) In my opinion, discrimination is the willful degradation of another person's self-esteem for their differences, or what makes them unique.
5) Press the F2 button, or press the F1 to hide the hotbar, then hit F2

7)
IC2 - Basically enhances the standard Minecraft gameplay by adding ways for the player to take advantage of the resources available in game, and adds a few of it's own in as well.
RedPower2 - A fantastic mod for automation via tubes, improvement of the redstone mechanics via red alloy wire, and the versatility of frames and computers via FORTH. Very well balanced, and the recipes do make sense
Mo' Creatures - A mod for adding creatures to the game long thought to add to the overall experience for those people who enjoy the extra challenge presented by the ogres which can destroy blocks, and the challenge of breeding the horses (I haven't played with Mo' Creatures, so I'm just saying what I remember from it's main post)
Buildcraft - An excellent mod in the automation category alongside RP2 for it's pipes, substantial improvements in the mining system with the mining well and quarry, also an excellent power system with the engines and conductive pipes
Additional Pipes - An excellent Buildcraft addon expanding the already broad horizons of BC with the item, liquid, and power teleport pipes
Backpacks - A mod that allows for the expansion of the player's inventory via backpacks, also allows for the preservation of the player's inventory via magic backpacks.
NEI - A fantastic mod I use a lot for the fantastic recipe mode. Combines Marglyph's TooManyItem with the Recipe book mod, also very expandable with NEI plugins
Chest Shop - A bukkit plugin for enabling a server economy via "currency"
iConomy - A bukkit API allowing for the creation of a server economy
World Guard - Allows the admins to protect certain areas or the entire server
Essentials - A bukkit plugin that gives the admins a wider control over the server with a number of commands, including 'kits' which allows the admin to give players predefined inventories, to commands that allow for mob-spawning.
