Need for more mods on both servers

[ultimateironman]

We all know that there is a need for more ACTIVE mods on the build and PVP server. We were looking for a mod for several hours on teh build and PVP server today for no avail. And we know you know this, and that you are working on recruiting more. but in the mean time, id like to ask "what can i/we do to help?"

are there any known server plug-ins that would allow VIPs to vote in game for a temp ban/kick of obvious and repeated language rule breakers?

what are YOU looking for in a potential mod(even just a TP/kick/ban) mod, that some of us can reach for and try to apply?

Anything else that we can do? because i know that Sgt cant be at his computer 24/7, and that there are going to be times when a mod wont be online for a while.



EDIT: i just read several good threads in teh VIP section concerning this. it answered some of my questions, but since i cant delete this thread ill just leave it here

I'm working on recruiting more mods. Nothing that you can really do right now, except take plenty of screenshots and warn people. I'm not aware of any votekick plugins, but we would have to seriously consider implementing one anyhow - it could be easily abused.

Not aware of any votekick plugins??
Do you ever check Hey0?

Ok, let me rephrase: I'm not aware of any votekick plugins because I haven't looked at any, due to the potential for abuse.

More mods is the better way to go, and we're working on that.

And normally I am online during any free time I have, it's just the last few weeks have been crazy. Ill be back to my near 12 hour a day playtime soon, promise.

How about a plugin that dishes out a diamond for every kick/ban a moderator performs?

It's a small thing, but small things go much farther than nothing.

 

[SgtSpike]

Haha. Even better, what about an online tally of the number of players kicked/banned by each mod? That should be possible after I get my plugin programmed tonight. Might encourage abuse though, as in, not being objective enough about the possible innocence of a particular player.

I'd prefer not to give away goods though - remember, it's a "legit-build" server. Everything you see was found somewhere on the map, and all that good stuff.

not everything.... *cough cough* /creplace grass Diamonds

Here, let me help you out.

Server s = etc.getServer();

public boolean onCommand(Player player, String []split)
{
    String cmd = split[0].toLowerCase();

   if(cmd.equals("/ban")&&player.canUseCommand())
   {
      //Perform relevent class call here
      
      return true;
   }
   return false;
}

Wouldn't it be better time spent on the server rather than just kicks and bans, there is more to being a mod than just kicks and bans

 

[Socrates271]

Ya, but what about afk mods

 

[Kiwinz]

AFK kicker.

Lol, thanks Soc. Was thinking about using the javascript plugin with the api.onBan listener, but I suppose I could write a .jar as well. I haven't written straight-up Java in a few years though...

 

[Socrates271]

Meh javascript may be better to use in the long run.
