    Suggestion:
    Enforce lottery team scamming.
    Reason:
    It is just like any other in-game agreement yet for some reason the server doesn't enforce it. After personally being scammed a few times and having a lot of people i know get scammed it seems like a logical rule to add. It would be easy to enforce just like any loan or buying of goods if someone provides a screen shot of the initial agreement with the player then them buying tickets and then the other person winning then it would be easy to enforce.

    Other Information:
    Nope
    Link to this plugin:

    Won't happen. Just like PvP, there are too many complications, along with the fact there would be many instances of bending this rule.

    Gotta agree, don't get why it wouldn't be enforced already honestly.

    How would it be hard at all? Simply take screenshot with time stamp, then if/when they win do it again. Easy.

    What happens if winnings aren't covered because of taxes? What happens if the user goes offline? What happens if the user has too many lottery teams? ectectect

    There is a reason this has not been enforced, and will not be enforced in the foreseeable future.

    Regardless of winnings they still should split profits as agreed.

    They pay when they can, or get in trouble.

    Make a rule to only have one team at a time, if they find some one is teaming with more than one group not teamed together they get punished.

    Not hard to do really.

    No, just no. Because I win $500k, I don't have to give it to my "team". Morally yes, I should. In the long run, hella no. I'm taking that money and running and there ain't nothing wrong with that.

    Lottery teams cannot be enforced because it's a deal based on chance, not based on an agreement for an item/object that can never change.

    I'm a bit curious is that the reason why the rule for lotto teams is the way it is?

    There are numerous reasons. This is a main one.

    +1 Well if 2 people make a contract to split the winnings on a lotto if they both play, then they should have to follow that.

    I have shown that your points are easy to enforce though.
    Chance or not, it is easy to enforce. It's not chance whether you have an agreement or not, an agreement to split winnings IF they win is easy to enforce and is an agreement.

    Also enforcing lotto teaming will be nearly impossible as there is no definition of a lotto team.

    I would also note that lottoteaming is a terrible idea.
