Add an -s flag to /ro

vouch, it spams chat a lot and is very annoying, its only a few lines of code, so it shouldn't be too hard to implement

Vouch. When cleaning up large areas we often need to do /ro multiple times which sends 3 lines of chat each time.

Object. Use //replacenear instead - it gets logged in CoreProtect too.

I do support the idea of making /ro run //replacenear, but that is a whole other suggestion.

Even if WE is slow, it's better to use it instead of using /ro because it will actually log in CoreProtect.

↩  man /ro is meant to be fast, and not logging to coreprotect isn't honestly that bad of an idea whether intentional or not. Its an admin only command that, at least my personal experience, has been generally used to get rid of tile entities or disruptive blocks that are causing a mess.

When I'm clearing a plot that has 100,000 chests on it, I'd like the chests to be removed as soon as possible so my computer doesn't explode, and there's also no point in logging an extra 100,000 entries to the already huge coreprotect logs for something which doesn't need to be logged.

I'd object for similar reason why silent purge commands have been denied.

However, it could only print the first line of output for all and the rest only to admins / command sender.

↩  man In circumstances where speed is crucial, WorldEdit cannot be relied upon. /ro has been consistently proven to be extremely fast and reliable. It is perfect for these occasions.

/ro logging to CoreProtect has already been approved in https://forum.totalfreedom.me/…ake-ro-log-in-coreprotect and is on the backlog. A silent flag is completely independent of logging.

Is there any actually good reason for the silent flags? I personally have disliked the fact we have them at all, it feels like it's hiding for no good reason?

↩ @'Ryan' with a maximum radius of 50, /ro often needs to be sent more than once. It sends 3 lines of chat to every single player online every time it is activated which can get very spammy.

↩  erin I just don't see why we should be hiding it...? Given /ro by default destroys those blocks around every online player, and if you didn't want to do that then it would make a lot more sense to use WorldEdit...?

↩ @'Ryan' it's mostly used to destroy blocks near a particular player, the all players feature isn't really used at least from what I've seen. (I forgot it was the main feature until your reply)

I would rather not have a -s tag usable for anything but removing blocks near the person typing the command

Any further input?

While I still don't personally see silent flags as a good thing especially when we want to encourage transparency, I can see the benefits in this case. Approved, FS-439 raised.
