This. The reason you dev doesn't have to be exactly that, but the badge really means nothing, so just dev because you want to, not because of some shiny badge you get for doing it.
Oh wow, I really enjoyed reading this thread. I will certainly watch this thread for more future entertainment. I dont care this was started by a troll, the patient and understanding responses of all you guys make this well worth.
Just throwing out my opinion after reading a few threads: It does annoy me, as a standard admin, to see all these people who release a MOTD plugin or whatever just for the Plugin Developer tag. The tag means nothing, except the fact that you have created a plugin. The people spamming the boards with their pointless copy plugins does just make it harder to find original plugins. Granted though, the original posters plugin, I've not seen anywhere else and it does seem like a simple but useful idea for tempory block changing. If he were to add an "auto undo" timer I'd use it on my server as a race power. That doesn't change the fact he only seemed to make it for the plugin developer tag though. I actually just submitted my first plugin too. Its quite simple, and I made it because I wanted to be able to make plugins, not because I wanted a tag. Of course it'd be nice to have that tag, but if I didn't get it I wouldn't rage and refuse to make more plugins, I'm working on another plugin already either way. As I read on another thread, we just need some sort of voting system... if a plugin gets 5 votes on DevBukkit then the author will get the "Plugin Developer" tag, that way the community can decide whether it is worthy or not. Frankly I doubt mine will get it currently and I doubt I really deserve the plate but my idea is still original and created for the right reasons, and thats the important part. EDIT: Also, the OP's signature says "BLOCK CHANGER WILL BE OUT SOON" <-- if its not out yet he definately won't be getting that tag anytime soon. Whats happening with the PD status since DevBukkit? I know over there they now have a counter of how many you have.. are they even still adding new PD statuses over here?
