Bukkit

Any news on the re-write? No rush, just curious. Awesome plugin by the looks of it! Is this on Github?

Also, it'd be cool if you could have like some way to see previous punishments and maybe notes from admins like "may have griefed" etc.

I dunno.

Edit: just saw the "Todo" section, ignore my suggestion.

temp muting and banning also custom ban message? Please???

You should put a MySQL database in it... I run a network and that would be really cool :)

Nice! i really look forward to see that! :)

Hi, i really like this plugin :)
It would be great if you could add number of warnings in the /puncheck command.
And if possible, add a note to bans. Not necessarily for the player to see. But rather as admin trying to keep track of why a player was banned.

Thanks for creating and sharing this plugin. This is something very close to what I'm looking for in a moderation system.

Why is there not a [reason] option for bans? It would be handy to include a reason so when they try to re-connect, they not only see they are banned but why.

I'm really interested in the ability to mute for a specific and variable amount of time (temp mute) as well as ban for a specific and variable amount of time (temp ban)

The strike system seems like a superb idea. My rules typically require going through a certain range of motions, 1 offense = warning, 2nd - 4th offense = temp mute or temp ban, 5th offense = permanent ban. A strike system would simplify this greatly allowing the mod/admin to simply issue a strike with a reason and the system determines the correct level of punishment based on history. However, it probably would be a good idea to have some way to reduce the strike level over time...such as a strike being removed once it is a month old for example.

I have a player note system right now but having it integrated directly with a punishment system (strike/warn/mute/ban) where the [reason] for the punishment is attached to the player and remains there unless manually deleted so history can be viewed on players. Please make sure to record the person performing the action (moderator) and the datestamp as well as the ability to remove 1 specific note/warning in case it was found to be in error.

The ability to ban the IP would also be nice (but not mandatory). If writing info to a MySQL or SQLite database, it could be handy to keep a list of all unique IP addresses associated to a user (and last used datestamp) with the ability to cross-reference them to find potential alt accounts. The ability to purge old information would also be necessary since many people have dynamic IP addresses and could keep increase the database size.

If you do implement a MySQL backend, please provide a way to convert back-n-forth between MySQL and SQLite. This will allow production data to be exported to test servers which should not have access to the MySQL production data or may not have access to a MySQL database at all.

It would also be nice to have the system files updated with all appropriate fields. "banned-ips.txt" and "banned-players.txt" so that each entry shows the Name/IP, action date, name of the mod, length of action and reason.

Question: If a player is banned (with a reason msg), would the "/seen" command in Essentials be able to display the ban reason? If it could, that would reduce a lot of chatter about "if" or "why" a player was banned unless there was a built-in player info command....hmm.

With all the various possible punishments and warning, could you add a player info summary command? Example (showing all possible options):

/playerinfo beastxgamer

IP Address: 1.2.3.4
Loc: x:123 y:64 z:321 world:battlelands
Exempt from: Mute / Kick / Ban
Status: Muted on 2013-10-25 by adminJoe for Breaking rule #2
Status: Kicked on 2013-10-25 by adminJoe for Breaking rule #4
Status: Banned on 2013-10-25 by adminJoe for Breaking rule #3

or with a strike system:

/playerinfo beastxgamer

IP Address: 1.2.3.4
Loc: x:-123 y:64 z:321 world:battlelands
Exempt from: Mute / Kick / Ban / Strike
Strike #1 on 2013-10-24 by adminJane for Breaking rule #2
Strike #2 on 2013-10-25 by adminJoe for Breaking rule #2
Strike #3 on 2013-10-25 by adminJohn for Breaking rule #4
Strike #4 on 2013-10-25 by adminJill for Breaking rule #5
Strike #5 on 2013-10-25 by adminJack for Breaking rule #3
Status: Banned on 2013-10-25 for Breaking rule #3

It would only show what is set...such as not even showing "Exempt from" unless the player was exempt from something.

On your permission page, you left out the "kick" and "warn" permissions. I'd recommend listing each and every permission node on that page such as the following:

Permission			Description
-------------------------	---------------------------------------
punishment.*			Gives access to all punishment commands.
punishment.mute.*		Gives access to all mute commands.
punishment.mute			Gives access to the mute command.
punishment.mute.unmute		Gives access to the unmute command.

punishment.freeze.unfreeze	Gives access to the unfreeze command.
punishment.kick			Gives access to the kick command.
punishment.ban.*		Gives access to all ban commands.
punishment.ban			Gives access to the ban command.
punishment.ban.unban		Gives access to the unban command.
punishment.ban.list		Gives access to the banlist command.
punishment.ban.check		Gives access to the bancheck command.

Oops, you said "short" feedback. Sorry. { exits stage right }

Thanks,

Well done DeeKay! I do have a small question. I have multiple chat channels, not all default. Anyway to add in the config to mute the player from ALL the channels, not just the default?

Nice plugin!

Could you maybe at a function that add a function that tells us if new players have been banned multiple times using this tool? http://whitelist.mcf.li/
