I've heard talks of resetting the server because of too much cuboiding, random houses, etc. This is one way that make this more organized.
Someone (preferably Jordan or Nick) would assign a theme, so everyone on the server would build about this theme. Watch these videos for an example (Western Town)- http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2011/03/western-town-minecraft-build-challenge/
This would make less cuboid, since only little would be needed, maybe a little for things like maybe making a land area out of some type of block, but that should be it.
Most materials should have to have been gotten fairly, but if people needed materials that are hard to get (like dyes for wool, since sometimes items like flowers are impossible to find) could be traded for by mods (but not all items, just hard ones). Similarly, maybe if a project needed mass amounts of hard materials to get, you could trade a simple block for a better block.
Also, maybe there could be a section on the forum for projects, and if anyone has a massive individual project related to the big project (maybe like recreating something [Example- Video 6 of the previously posted link]), they could get approved so that they could not need to gather AS MUCH materials, maybe work out a deal to get just some of it.
In times that there are trades of blocks (like simple for better block) maybe you could use a Support member to run a shop for people (give him maybe access to PARTIAL /give, but not entirety)
This would make Cuboid more organized, and less needed, and make a fun thing for the members of the server to build, and show of their creativity!
(I would be happy to organize a build project, if you are busy moderating or anything)
