I personally find it hilarious when a person makes a lengthy post apologizing for using xray and fly mods, when they were actually banned for something more minor.

So your con is: A good laugh .Thought staff don't like cluttering up the forums with a pointless post.

I'm pretty sure we attempted this before and it didn't work, I doubt it would be a easy task to just make custom messages appear for ban reasons.

I don't care either way, I just don't like all of this stuff about code being "too difficult" or something. This took me all of 5 minutes: (so excuse any small errors)

Code: Select all

	public String banReason(String player) {
		String reason = "";
		if (isBanned(player)) {
			try {
				ResultSet res = statement
						.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM bans WHERE Username = '"
								+ player + "';");
				if (!res.next()) {
					System.out.println("No database entry detected for " + player);
				} else {
					do {
						reason = res.getString("Ban_Reason");

					}
					while (res.next());
					
					return reason;
				}

			} catch (SQLException e) {
				e.printStackTrace();
			}

		} else
			reason = "This player is not banned.";
		return reason;
	}

Then in the player login listener

Code: Select all

	@EventHandler(priority = EventPriority.MONITOR)
	public void onPlayerLogin(PlayerLoginEvent event) {
		if (isBanned(event.getPlayer().getName())) {
			event.setResult(PlayerLoginEvent.Result.KICK_OTHER);
			event.setKickMessage(banReason(event.getPlayer().getName());
		}
	}

You'd likely want to cache the ban data so you don't have SQL queries running all the time, but this was just an example.

The point is it is getting people to admit what they are truly doing, but apparently that is a oversight to you guys.

Plane, I never said if would be difficult to code I meant difficult to implement, we have tried to get it to show custom messages before and the server ignored it and kept throwing the generic ban reason, so go figure.

Right now Nos to not have 30% and I think its about time something happens..

Let's see 35 total votes 26 yes, 9 no, that is 34% no's, if you demand a answer it would be rejected.

:p I don't vote so didn't see those and I just realized I missed clicked in my calculator but that works.

Either way as I said before it won't make a difference if you are expecting appeals to change, they will always be that way claiming they did nothing even if told why they were banned.

As kero pointed out not knowing what they were banned for brings out people who would admit to doing other wrong doings than what they actually did. This will just help them hide more.

This is a very solid point. The players people who tend to regain most respect from others are those who can be honest about what they've done and can face up to their actions and the consequences following.
I should know, I am one of these people.

Looks like this was accepted quietly? Just wondering if this has been implemented yet.

I don't see why it shouldn't be implemented, they tell you what you did when you get kicked, why not when you get banned?
