Zoa Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 ----- NOTE ----- We have been using Group Manager for quite a while now, and its also been unsupported (meaning that the developer doesn't update it anymore) for quite a while. so I've been thinking that its time to move on to a more supported plugin ( Permissions). Permissions does the exact same thing, however its not as user-friendly to the admins. So expect some permissions/groups to not work right away, but i will be working on it! MESSAGE TO ADMINS!: to promote people, literally just do "/promote (name)" there is also "/demote (name)" ----- NOTE -----[/b] Ive updated the main server software, as well as added a few plugins and (soon!) im gonna update some plugins that could use updating So far, this is what has been done - Updated to Bukkit version 766 - Added plugins: - Backup ( http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/admn-b ... -766.9871/ ) - Display-name Changer ( http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/chat-f ... 740.13253/) - Honeypot ( http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/sec-ho ... -677.9153/ ) - Reporter ( http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/admn-g ... 766.17179/ ) - Seasons ( http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-m ... 766.15183/ ) - Messagechanger ( http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/admn-m ... ost-220359 ) Backup - Admin only What this does, is just takes our entire server root folder (all of the world folder + plugins ) and puts it in a zip file with a date format as its name. Backups occur every 4 hours, and it will store up to 84 backups (thats 2 weeks worth of backups) Displayname Changer - Donators + This is a plugin that lets you change your display name using /rename (name) (new name) EX. /rename zoathewind Paul. <--- new name IS case sensitive Honeypot - Admins only Lets admins set a "honeypot" (something that could be worth griefing) that sets off an alarm to admins that someone tried to break the honeypot Reporter - Everyone This is probably my favorite out of all of the new plugins i added. it lets you submit a report to admins using /report (name) (details) (name) = the offender, or person in question (details) a brief description of what happened (you can use spaces in this!) Seasons - Misc This just lets me set artificial "seasons". i can make a 'rainy' season that has a set percentage of rain, or a 'dry' season, that has a lower percentage of rain <-- added as an experiment Message Changer - Owners This just lets me change some of the server messages you can receive while NOT ingame, such as the kick/banned message SOON i will be updating permissions to give some more control to admins + more donator perks. may also add more commands for normal members, who knows.

Zoa Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 The Do's and Do Nots of Reporting DO: - report people griefing - report people breaking rules - report people wanting to join if an admin isn't on, and you need to leave DO NOT: - send a report because you have something stupid to say - send a report because you don't like someone - send a million reports because apparently one "just isn't enough", one is plenty SOMETIMES - send a report if a permission is broken - send a report if there are any semi-major problems NOTE: with the new update, there are bound to be commands you cant use due to whatever reason, you CAN report that just do "/reoprt (YOUR USERNAME) and then a small sentance on whats wrong EX: /report zoathewind i cant use /spawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabuf Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I believe we should begin requiring forum membership to be an in-game member. That way, it is implied that they read (or at least briefly skimmed) these important, fundamental topics and don't ask too many questions in-game. We may be able to use this new 'Permissions' plugin switch as a segue to getting everyone registered on here. Is it too much to ask for people to spend 40 seconds to register on here, post a small bio in a welcome thread and go on their merry way!? I think we'd be a much tighter community if we all frequented this forum. As far as people like Sarge well, they just won't be getting a membership if they refuse this simple task. This would also cut out a TON of grief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would also cut out a TON of grief! i agree, but i can just see it now "can i be a member?" "go register on the forums with your username, and ill promote you" ".... really? ive been here for X amount of time, do i REALLY need to do that? "yes" "fuck that *log out*" i do think it would help form a better community though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
