Hello! I recently started a server, and tried to unlist it many times. I went to the forums for help, and they said to whitelist it. I tried using the /whitelist on command, but it said something along the lines of 'you are not allowed to use this command' it's a simple minecraft survival server with two of my friends, and we don't really know much about the commands. I created the server, does that mean I’m opped? thanks
