Minecraft Name: Vortlex Suggestion: Staff members put due dates fully written out like "6th may 2017" not like "5/6/2017" Reason: This is confusing to users that dont live in America and may get dayes wrong, so this will be more understandable by everyone. Any Other Information: N/A Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?: N/A
2+ years on staff and this was never an issue, 5+ years as a server and not big enough of an issue to ever change, what happened?
I think a little common sense does apply here if you're looking at the date the money is due, is the time-frame reasonable? Then it's probably the correct date. If the way you read it makes the money due in the past... that's probably not the proper way it was meant to be read. You also always PM the staff member who handled your appeal to clarify if you're honestly confused about the due-date. There is no shame in that. I'm not sure this is really an issue?
Generally people not understanding and not asking don't tend to make it very far on the server in the first place
I feel as though you are both just posting something just to post on a thread that should of been locked already lol
-1, I know a while back (probably the day this suggestion was created) you had pm'd me about this. Honestly, as clar said, just use common sense. If I write something in m/d/y like 10/15/16, obviously I'm not using d/m/y. Also, in appeals we will usually say "You have x amount of days or weeks to pay off this loan). So yeah, common sense people.
After years it hasn't really been an issue big enough that I feel we need to require the staff to write dates a certain way. I would say it is the players responsibility to understand when the due-date is and if they do not they should contact Staff for clarification.
