[ADMN/SEC/WEB] MCBans v3.7 Complete Kick/Ban/Global Ban System [1.2.4+]

Where are you getting the info about the next update being for 1.2 R5?

It's at the very top...

I thought that was a bukkit message as bukkit is currently going through their API and removing depreciated code....

It is, read the whole message..

Then that just contradicts what I was saying before with "where did you hear about the next release for mcbans being for 1.2 and R5"

No it doesn't contradict anything, you're not making sense of what I am saying I am obviously and simply making sure that McBans will be ready for R5 for a earlier release.

The server isnt running!!!! Can you please run the mcbans test server

I would love to make use of this plugin but the server is not running!!

Id recommend switching to Glizer - its just as robust as mcbans (if not more because you dont have to PAY for premium usages), Its updated more often.... as mcbans hasnt been updated in a LONG time, and last but not least it doesnt go down every week....

We will be releasing 3.7 when 1.2 launches, and the release will include a few fixes.

1. Premium pays for servers and development
2. This is not a a thread for Glizer nor is it a thread for Ban plugins, It's for MCBans.

Can I make a request? a perm node for bypassing alt checks locally?
its a bit hard to login invis, and watch new players we are suspicious of, if when I login there is no way for me to stop it from listing i may have the alts of my 2 children.

of course, will add this to the "to do" list

When I go to the download link it keeps saying ''404 Not Found''. Please help! -EnMinecraft

you need to register a server, then go into that servers dashboard, then download the plugin.

Alittle upset now are we? Its true that you guys dont keep up on developement. You say "We will be releasing 3.7 when 1.2 launches" but what about those people experiencing bugs NOW not later. Ive had a ticket in about the same bug for the past 3 months and all you guys did is auto-close the issue because you guys had too many open. You expect people to pay for a service thats broken to begin with, granted its better than a simple locally designed ban listing but now your not the only service out there that does it. Which is why I recommend some of the other plugins rather than yours. No one replys to people on your thread which is why I decided to step in and reply to some people about their issues. Currently Glizer is working WITHOUT ISSUE. It will also be available for 1.2 and R5 unlike mcbans. As you said your next release wont be until 1.2 which might be this week, might be next week might be a month from now. There are no release dates ergo we have no clue when to expect a fix for any of the current bugs and on top of it who knows if the next release will have some of the same type of bugs.

MCBans is so broken 1700+ servers are running it without issue...

And it will be ready for 1.2 R5, as it isn't that much of a change ( In fact the github already has R5 compatible plugin code ), not only that but we just made an update for the premium plugin.

If you doubt the activity of our development you can always take a look at the github page and look at the commits http://github.com/MCBans/

Not all the 1700+ servers are A. running with latest builds, B. running exactly the same stuff as your test server does, and C. have a prioritized connection to your servers (as im sure your test server does, but if not A and B are still very valid)

I dont doubt any activity in developement, what I'm irritiated about is that you dont fix bugs that appear in every new release of bukkit. Instead you wait until YOU feel you want to do them. Which is a waste for premium users. I know for a fact there are issues on R4 with your latest version of mcbans. Like I said your support is also horrible as I had a ticket in for far longer than it should have been about the same issue. Which instead of answering the tickets when you get full of them, you ignore them and reset them with the excuse of "we had too many open tickets". If it was a completely 100% free service I wouldnt be upset but some things you do require a premium account for such as full web control, among other things. Glizer is 100% free, and they dont require premium for any use of their web controls, or for that matter anything you guys provide with your premium service.

Once again to reiterate, I'm not arguing with your development, I'm just pointing out the fact that you don't update as often as you should because you don't feel it needs to be worked on until the next release of MC. As most developer communities do, you should be assigning teams or even prioritizing things but not completely ignoring them until the next release.

Oh and by the way saying something like "MCBans is so broken 1700+ servers are running it without issue...." is like saying. "Communism works for china, It will work for the rest of the world..."
I'm sure the author of the SOPA and PIPA acts were thinking in the same way you are.

1. The 1,700+ are in fact running. Our stats just show only active, and activity in the last 24/hrs

2. "have a prioritized connection to your servers" What?

3. You did argue about our development, which we constantly are updating either the plugin or the site. The site more frequently as that's the thing that requires more work.

4. What does this have to do with SOPA, Communism or PIPA.... This is an open source community, We BOTH spend free time out of our lives to work on these projects. I am sorry that your ticket was ignored, but for a team that does this for free, and come from the community, they do a great job. How many plugins do you see have a dedicated support desk for handling support questions.

5. If you could say what the error that you were getting, I would love to take a look at it, and fix it. If it has to do with the threading, we are already looking at it. If not then I would love to get it fixed.

is it possible to have the kick reasons broadcasted when a player is kicked (like when a player is banned or tempbanned)?

yes, will add this to the to-do as well

awesome, I'm just getting tired of having to write the reason twice (once when the player gets kicked and again when everyone asks why the player was kicked)

We recieve the following error when trying to ban someone from the console.

@Firestar Why aren't you changing the title to the new RB? Or placing a Bukkit Dev? Or Mcbans.com.. So people know that this plugin isn't inactive

Fixed

Is this finally working? I got pretty frustrated with it earlier as it wouldn't unban anyone. No one was responding to my tickets I submitted.

Why is the player support so low ?

When it comes to plugin and site development and bugs we have a github for those issues. If you post a bug on the github we will be able to fix it a lot faster than a support ticket.

Player support isn't actually low, we are able to handle those in timely manners as the team looking at those tickets can handle to those.

Also keep in mind that an exact error is what we need, not that you are experiencing an error.
And make sure that you are running the correct version of bukkit that the plugin says it supports, if in the title it does not have that version, most likely it will not work, as bukkit LOVES to break things.

I posted the support tickets on the site and I've never gotten a response once :| A lot of time its hard to post "errors" when there are no errors popping up on console. Now I know to use github so thank you.

Also another question an old admin on my server registered our ip under his name. How do we go about changing this?

Does this work with 1.2.2 yet?
