Hi everyone! I have played on here for awhile, and one big conflict that I have ran into is trying to figure out if people are scamming me. I often try to help out players in chat, as I know how hard it can be to be new and surrounded by all of these players and plugins, and because of that I often have players messaging me days or weeks later because they know I am nice, asking me for something or just saying hello. Because I help so many people, I (sadly) do not remember everyone, and I just assume that I helped someone when they randomly message me. Still, though, in the back of my mind it still occurs to me that they could quite possibly be scamming me, or doing something else bad. So, I thought, why can’t we get a plugin that warns players of just that?
The /rep plugin is amazing, as it can easily show players what others are like, but many players do things without being caught. So what if there was a way to anonymously comment on a player so other players could look into them before talking? I.e., lets say I am talking to Jim and he seems pretty nice, but I haven’t seen much of him before. I type in this command, and I can see a list of anonymous ratings for him, and a short (maybe sentence long) description. I.e. “Jim is really nice and helpful ingame. Five stars.” Or, “Jim is a total jerk and a scammer. Stay away from him!” These comments can easily alert players about what others are like.
Now, I know that the anonymous thing will cause a lot of trolls, as it is anonymous, so I was thinking that an element of this plugin is that all staff can see the actual names (maybe except for on their own- or maybe only high level staff can), so if they see repeated trolls they can warn the player, and have a punishment.
In conclusion, this simple yet effective plugin could provide useful to players (especially new ones) who want to figure out who they should ask for help, and who they can trust.
