/Player <username> command

Hi guys.

I thought it would be useful if there was a command, when you typed /player <username> it would show there stats.

Here's what it would look like after I typed /player mitchman04: (just using my name for example)

Username: mitchman04
Realms owned: 1
Credits: 158.646.2
Status: Not banned
Online: mitchman04 is online (survival)

The stats would update once a day, so people can see what the player accomplished. I thought if it would update every second, it would get too laggy so I thought once a day would be good.

Thanks

EDIT: This is my first poll, and I voted yes, is that ok even though I am the author of this poll?

Wonderful idea, I support it.

As it is a poll for everybody, I see no problems in you voting ;)

Instead of praising it, let me list the cons,...

Hmm. Couldn't think of anything bad with this. Great idea, +1.

(Other idea: What if it listed realms under 300 blocks away as "spawn realms"?)

I like the idea BUT I can't really edit the poll part to have another option for spawn realms to be included.

Still, thanks for the support. ;)

I voted yes. However, I don't think the credits should be there. Realms owned, sure. Credits, however, is your own business. I've had reasons not to want people to know how many credits I have, this would defeat that purpose.

I really like this idea. In particular, knowing whether a player is banned or not would be nice.

This seems problematic. Since this proposed command would give information about whether the player is banned and when the player was last online, this could then be used to camp spawn realms until they disband. This isn't as much of a problem with simply listing the number of realms owned, because (A) realms farther out aren't in such high demand, and (B) it wouldn't give information about where the realms are located, whereas listing spawn realms would narrow it down to a 600x600 area.

Hmm, you have a good point. But some people do want to show off how many credits they had. Instead of having credits it would show the date you joined MineRealm. Also I think I will add in Jack's idea too, PLUS I added the all new user reputation!

Now this is what it would look like:

Username: mitchman04
Realms owned: 1
Spawn realms owned: 0
Joined date: (right now I honestly don't know what day I joined)
Status: Not banned
Online: mitchman04 is online (survival)
User reputation: 9/10

EDIT: I decided to add in yoho's idea too.

I'm just saying that for a more accurate representation of wealth, it should be there. After all, Intelli's going to change the system anyways. Plus, people will find it regardless. Depending on how Intelli changes the system, it may not be problematic whatsoever. Good try though.

/user

or

/profile

could be other options too.

Ok, I see what you mean, I guess. NOW this is the official thing, and it will not be changed ONLY if I find a really, really, good idea:

Username: mitchman04
Realms owned: 1
Spawn realms owned: 0
Credits:158.646.2
Joined date: (right now I honestly don't know what day I joined
Status: Not banned
Online: mitchman04 is online (survival)
User reputation: 9/10
