    Hello Skyblockers!

    It is jcrza here with an amazing idea.

    Everyone has witnessed the usual "/visit 1234jeff for banner shop" spammed about 100,000 times a day. With a new command like (/chatmode donor) that would stop. The command will "mute" all greenies! The command would be simple to use, and Mod+ would be allowed to use it. Here are some suggestions for the command: If you do not want to completely restrict the overall chat function of a green bean, there could be a timer per message (like 30-60 seconds). This command may also generate the server more revenue because there could be an item to buy like "Remove Chat Filter" for $2.00. By default, all donors would be exempt to this filter.

    Possible syntax:
    /chatmode normal -> Lets everyone chat like normal
    /chatmode enable admin -> Lets only staff/admins talk
    /chatmode enable donor -> Lets only Donors/Exempt/Staff talk
    /chatmode clear -> optional clear function
    /chatmode add ne <player> -> Adds player to normal exempt list (Add manually IN-Game)
    /chatmode add ae <player> -> Adds player to Admin Exempt List (Add Manually In-Game)
    /chatmode timer <time> -> Creates timed chat for non-exempt players*

    *Note that timer mode can be turned on and off maybe through a config.yml

    Possible Permissions Nodes:
    Chatmode.* (All Chat mode commands)
    Chatmode.nexempt (Everyone with this node will be on the normal exempt list automatically)
    chatmode.aexempt (Everyone with this node will be on the admin exempt list automatically)
    chatmode.enable.admin (Mutes chat and lets only admin exempt people speak)
    chatmode.enable.donor (Enabled Donor-Only)
    chatmode.timer (Change non-exempt player's timer || Optional)
    chatmode.add.ne (manually add in game normal exempt)
    chatmode.add.ae (Manually add In Game Admin Exempt)
    chatmode.clear (clears chat)

    Possible Config File:

    enableTimer: [True/False] (Enabled non-exmept chat timer)
    Normal Exempted Players: { All Donor Ranks/Exempt IGN's
    }
    Admin Exempted PLayers: { Staff/Admins IGN
    }


    I know I am going to get hate for this, but if you support, please tell ADMINS!

    @Cypriotmerkz TannerLittle @LemoNade_ larrythebird101 Krissy_ Zambiana --> PLEASE LOOK!

    so, is this a donor/mod command?


    seems like, (if your talking donor chat type of command)
    youd still be in main chat, but all greens messages are hidden, just showing donor and mod messages.



    but, sounds more like a mod command where they could mute all greens at once, letting only donors talk... if thats the case, nah. theres no reason or use.

    Sorry, no support. Punishing all greenbeans just because a few happen to spam a lot is not the right thing to do. Donors spam as well. Restricting chat so only staff can talk is pointless because we have our own system anyway. Mutes work just as well.

    No support.

    Reasons:
    • It would cause an even bigger divide between greenbeans and donors
    • Greenbeans would sell less, because less people would see their ads (this effects the "economy")
    • If a greenbean needs help, the donors would not be able to see it
    It would only hurt the server.

    If I'm a greenbean and I ask in chat "Does anyone have a sapling?" then nobody would see it. So without a sapling, I would quit.
    The server would lose potential donations from greenbeans being ignored.

    I'm actually a bit offended by this thread. Donors cause spam too.

    /p chat (player1) (player2) etc making a private chat between more than in a mag would be good too.

    The amount of spam from banner shops etc is too excessive, part of me wants this new chat system and for all the people who disagree wouldn't have to join it, If you're not interested in banner shops or skin competitions then there should be a /chat filter where you can filter certain words and they don't appear in your chat eg; /chat filter banner or /chat filter visit etc.

    For the people who argue with this how many of you actually go out of your way to bring a greenie a sapling or to enter their skin competition which requires entrance fees? This will effect them slightly as they will lose 'potential' donor customers but If you didn't want to filter the chat you don't need too no one is forcing you too it's just available to be used.

    If not a filter something needs to be done as my /ignore list is only increasing.



    Extra
    If you type /buy then select any of the purchases it turns your chat off and you only receive server messages and /msgs.
    I play on this most of the time.

    As megadorkvikki said

    I don't really like that greenies would be separated because its just not fair just because they don't have a rank.
    Also if they need help and try to get some a mod won't know because they can't message them if they're ignored.
    It would be so unfair because they need help too.

    Just because some Greenbeans spam, doesn't mean they all do. Moderators would have to moderate even more chat pages and be constantly switching between pages. If you want to stop spam on your chat screen try doing /ignore to the couple spammers that take up chat.

    Yeah there's actually a lot. I see a lot of people spamming but there's always one or two who I always see whenever I'm online.

    No support. Reasons stated above. But what I will support, is group Messages. As in maybe

    /msg [Player1] [Pkayer2] [Player3] Guys, who has the bucket?

    Is an example. Almost the same

    No support for this one. Just look up there for the reasons ^. Personally I want LESS separation between greenies (i.e. me) and staff/donors, not more.

    The only thing worse than a non-donor being a butt is a donor being a butt the donors (most of them) think the rules are just for the "green beans"

    People stereotype greenies into this category of "all greenies are little, annoying pests." That's simply not the case. Yes, some may cause spam and use over excessive caps, as well as being annoying, but that doesn't mean they're all annoying. I can list a bunch of greenies that I'm pretty good friends with that aren't annoying. By having this donor chat, it will not benefit the server in any way. And since when are donors special people that have special treatment just because they donated to the server and the others didn't?

    I do not support this idea at all. Causes more separation that shouldn't even have been there in the first place.

    Add a command so you can make a group chat kind of thing. Instead of all donors you can add just your friends or something
