  • Show the remaining ban time on a ban

    I'm a bit confused here.

    Quote

    Telling someone "You will be unbanned in 2 hours" vs "You will be unbanned at 12 (LOCAL TIME ZONE)" achieves quite literally the same thing

    If they achieve the same thing, then instead of going for the latter and trying to find out their local timezone through external sources (which is arguably the harder option). Go for the former and work out how long they have left on their ban.

  • Log all forms of punishments

    @redeastwood#14293 I believe the punishment log gets wiped quite often. I remember trying to fetch some old ban messages for a user, and that user had no punishments logged- in fact the entire list was empty.

  • Show the remaining ban time on a ban

    @videogamesm12#14290 It's not, but if we thought like that for every suggestion made.. we'd have fuckall.


    "why is it our responsibility to give them fun plugins, they can just have fun themselves"
    "why is it our responsibility to fix bugs, just dont do them"


    As admins, we're expected to have some kind of OP - Admin relationship, as to where we should be trying to give an OP the best experience they can possibly get. So limiting them in this way, just because it's "not our responsibility" or it's "spoonfeeding them" isn't exactly the best way to go about it.

  • Custom Crates & Keys that Players Can Create

    @Ashaz#14114 That's a good point.


    As a result of that, I say we should encourage the use of saving your toolbar- rather than adding an additional plugin and going through extra effort to configure it. Ultimately, saving your toolbar is quicker than creating a crate.


    Also, refer to this for the second half of your point. (or just trust your friends to not leak the kit/crate key- either way, it can be leaked)

    @Shdwo#14113 You can lock any container already, including shulker boxes.

  • Custom Crates & Keys that Players Can Create

    I appreciate the effort put into this suggestion, however;


    I don't see this being very useful in this particular server gamemode. Kits already exist in which you can do many of the same features suggested here, without the need of an additional plugin. If anything, i'd suggest re-enabling the use of kits. (if it isn't going to affect the server's wellbeing in any way, if anyone could update me on why it's blocked- please do)


    How would this be used initially? One of the most popular forms of distributed-items on TF are OP-kits made by OPs, in shulker boxes. You get the entire kit in one box, so I don't see the use in rolling them randomly.


    If you can come up with a scenario where this particular feature would be quite handy and fun to use, i'd happily vouch.

  • Event Host Application - shdwo

    1. What is your Minecraft IGN?
    shdwo


    2. What date did you register on the forums? (minimum 30 days required)
    Nov. 17 2020


    3. Do you have any experience hosting events?
    I've hosted my fair share of events on other servers, much like TF itself- however unofficially linked to TFM. These managed to boost player retention and spike up our average daily players. I've also contributed ideas and discussions towards prior events and directed them towards event hosts.


    4. What is your timezone?
    GMT + 1 (UK London Time)


    5. Why do you want to be an Event Host?
    Upon acquiring this position, I'd be more than welcome to officially host such events for TF in hopes to bring fun and joy to our player-base and give operators and/or admins the chance to take part in these events. Growing up on TF, we used to have the occasional event or two, but it wasn't enough to really engage people in our community. Following my ideas and contribution to this, I'd want to make TF an enjoyable place where people happily stay to socialise and participate in events hosted by future event hosts and other contributors-
