Should Fortune be a thing on this server?

So what does fortune do:
Increases block dropsFor coal, diamond, emerald, nether quartz, and lapis lazuli, level I gives a 33% chance to multiply drops by 2 (averaging 33% increase), level II gives a chance to multiply drops by 2 or 3 (25% chance each, averaging 75% increase), and level III gives a chance to multiply drops by 2, 3, or 4 (20% chance each, averaging 120% increase). 1 drop has a weight of 2, and each number of extra drops has a weight of 1.
For redstone, carrots, glowstone, sea lanterns, melons, nether wart,potatoes, and wheat (seeds only), each level increases the drop maximum by +1 (maximum 4 for glowstone, 5 for sea lanterns, and 9 for melons). Fortall grass, each level increases the drop maximum by +2.
Fortune increases the probability of flint dropping from gravel, and saplingsdropping from leaves, and apples dropping from oak and dark oak leaves.

Nope. Scarcity makes things interesting.

Voted that it should stay banned.

Definitely not. Fortune makes things way less interesting.

I am strongly against allowing fortune on our server, it will make raiding and combat less meaningful in my opinion.

More diamond tools would make the game less of a grind. The admins, however, could abate that issue through plugins instead.

With an enchanted pick you gain enough XP from mining to repair it plus a surplus of diamonds.

How dare you even suggest using a diamond pick to branch mine.20 stone picks and one iron for life. I refuse to use anything else unless I'm digging a pit.

PSA: Fortune picks are now legal, as decided by your head of moderation

I'm confused the thread title reads: Should Fortune be a thing on this server?
Yet the pool question is: Should Fortune be banned?

And the result was "yes it should"...

Should what? Be banned or allowed? oO
