    Problem

    I know that this is a relatively new feature to our wonderful little server here, but as much as I do enjoy it; it seems to incorporate a lot of chat spam. I hopped online to see the feature for the first time today, and at some points the "[SBLottery] [Player Name] Just bought X number of tickets" covers like 3/4 of the chat page. I know this tentatively only happens at the end of the cycle, but that can be like once a hour.

    Suggestion

    My suggestion is that the announcement is how much grass is in the pot, rather than just spamming who bought how many tickets. Perhaps once every so often it would say "[SBLottery] There is currently X number of grass in the pot." Remember this isn't a suggestion to remove it, just one towards the removal of the spam caused when people purchase tickets, which can become overwhelming toward the end of the lottery cycle.

    Thanks for reading,
    MasterDalek

    Yes please. Support.
    There is a lot of spam, and some times instead of doing /lot but 2 people do the command twice without the two.

    There is just a lot of spam in general. There is hardly a single page of chat where there is not a notification of someone buying a ticket xD. Full Support.

    I like the setup of org's Lotto, it seems a lot more clean than our's, but we also have to think about the fact that; .org has a definitely smaller playerbase than .net has.

    To much spam. Covers up chat and you need to scroll up

    No support from me, I'd rather Cyp use his time to add another feature rather than reducing something that is so minor.

    I can respect that, but you have to think that this also adds some strain to the server, no matter how small; I'm sure we experience enough lag as it is

    You're completely no supporting this suggestion because you believe the "time" spent implementing this change should be spent adding something else? Whether this change is made or not, it will not effect when other changes are made to the server.

    With even disregarding the spam issue, I still think it would be better to just show an update every now and then with how much grass is in the pot rather than showing when people buy tickets. Support.

    Huge support, though to be honest I would be happier if net didn't even have the lottery plugin in the first place.
