  • MafiaBot (Discord Suggestion)

    Suggestion is to add MafiaBot to the TF discord. Our discord server is basically the centre of our community now and it would be nice if we could do things like mafia games.


    The bot creates an extra channel each time a game is start. 5 players are needed to start a game.


    Here's a page about the bot:

    Edit: The bot also automatically mutes people in the game so we don't need extra people to watch over or anything

    @Shdwo#10205 However, instead of removing the ability for a staff member to abuse.. why aren't we removing the abusing staff member? One ends in a temporary solution until they find another way to abuse.. the other results in permanent restriction

    I'm not saying to remove the feature of being able to edit people's posts. I'm saying for a plugin to keep a track of them being edited. Staff members that will abuse their forum mod permissions may or may not get sanctioned for what they do but it is completely irrelevant to this post, this suggestion is to log changes that can be done secretly (or we thought could be done secretly until Lyicx's post).

  • Post edit history

    @Shdwo#10123


    Yet we have had people in the past who have still used features like this to fake evidence against people in order to frame them

  • Post edit history

    Okay so when I was doing my research it never told me that you can see who last edited posts, so I'm fine if people object now (or this could just be locked too ig)

  • Post edit history

    So from what I've heard forum mods/execs and certain other ranks can edit posts on the forum.


    Now Flarum unfortunately doesn't have an extension for post edits, to look at the history of the edits made in a post. So that means that if anyone wanted to frame someone, it can be very easily done with no trace.


    This suggestion calls for this extension to be added:

  • Infinity slots

    So when you look at TF rn you see:


    5/300


    300 is such a big number, I know we have SMP server as well as FR01 and FR02, but this really needs to come down until we absolutely need more player spots. These numbers currently look very stupid.


    A plugin for doing something like this is:
    https://dev.bukkit.org/projects/infinity-slots


    Although we don't HAVE to use that, we could use a system like it, where we have 10 player slots set and then every time we get over 10 a system like the plugin above kicks in. It builds a feeling for players where they're like 'Oh totalfreedom is active, let me try and get on!' kinda thing. As a kid this is how I felt whenever I tried to get on my favourite MC server and I think many can relate to the days when an admin would join thus you getting kicked out.

    @lyicx#10035 after my A20 gives in, i plan to give iPhones an actual shot as a daily driver since like i barely touched them ever

    Don't. Once you're stuck in the Apple ecosystem it'll be hard to get out imo

  • Make TF cracked again

    Alright so before I start, I know this suggestion isn't gonna get 100% positivity, and even though I know that I am fine with still posting this suggestion.


    TF is dying. We've got a huge admin to OP ratio now, just in the last month we got over 5 reinstated/new admins and we barely hit 8 players on even a US night now. This is the lowest it has ever been, and it is honestly not going to better unless we try and do something major to turn it. No small temporary things like plugins. Major things, one of them which is to make TF cracked again.


    We can't list the server on websites if we're cracked


    At this point does this even matter? The listings have been up for a year now with little effect. The only listing that worked was the one made a month ago on PlanetMinecraft, where the server boomed with players. Then we had an even higher increase as fionn started off the weedhouse, and then after that things dipped.


    It creates a heavier job for admins


    Although going cracked will definitely make a heavier job for admins, the admins in the past managed to handle these situations. Because of the amount of admins we already have, if the player count was to boom, then I'm sure there will be admins available to handle this.


    Plot world is gonna get messed up


    We can give players 1 month (yes, a whole month) or longer to create schematics of their plots. If this isn't possible, we could find other solutions. However, the Plot world is currently not used as much and if it is, it's only by a few players. Giving players a whole month and setting a reminder to go off everyday will make sure that they can save their plots.


    If we are able to keep the plots, that's even better.


    Everything on TF right now is made to support Premium


    This is why in the above point I mentioned 1 month of time for people to save schematics. We could use this whole month of time (or longer) to prepare for the movement of Premium to Cracked once again.


    Conclusion


    Going cracked will help TF a lot, in my opinion. We can open our playerbase up once again to so many more players, who cannot afford Minecraft. For some it's only a 'measly 20 dollars' but for others its expensive. Going cracked again will help us to expand our playerbase. We won't get all those cracked players back instantly.


    Thanks for reading.
