Liquid block monitoring...?

During a case of repeated nether portal lava griefing incidents, I heard from a staff member that there is no monitoring on liquid blocks...?

If this is the case, I highly suggest adding monitoring to liquids, or at least lava. However, I'm not sure how the monitoring system is implemented, so I don't know if there would be a big issue trying to add this feature to the existing system or not.

Edit: S2 mentioned that he can "sort of" monitor liquids...I'm assuming this means only the source blocks can be monitored? If this is the case, a function could be added to the source and flowing blocks which, when a new flowing block is created, transfers the player's name to it. As usual, I don't know how difficult this would be to add to the existing system, as I don't have access to it.

It's a good idea, but I don't know if Intelli would want to dig that deep into the code. His strengths seem to be more as a server op than a coder.

Don't know if this is necessary. Fluids flow in a pretty intuitive way, so if flowing lava or water is causing a problem it should be easy to trace it back to one or a handful of possible locations for the source block.

All those times you've "fooled around" with your girlfriend behind spawn? Yeah, the admins will be able to see that now.

Only if there are fluids with a volume of at least one cubic meter.
