    • Suggestion:
      • Allow investigators to see [Trade] signs' history with ice, just as they can see chests and dispensers' history. I have no idea why this was never suggested before, I thoroughly searched but found nothing.
    • Reason:
      • I can't see why not?
      • [Trade] signs store stuff, chests store stuff: if I can see stuff gone into and out of chests, why not for [Trade] signs as well?
      • I might be interested to know who bought all my <insert some good> so that, when I have more, I can just alert them instead of hoping they will come again by chance.
      • I might have set up a payment sign and I want to be sure that the payments were made by the actual debtor and not someone else by mistake.
      • Someone might have bought something from my sign by mistake while I was offline/elsewhere, and they might (kindly) ask me to undo it. Now: I know that I'm not compelled to comply, but what if I just want to be reasonable and undo the harmless mistake, regardless? I might want to make sure that they actually interacted with my sign and are not trying to scam using a sign of mine where someone else purchased stuff from earlier.
      • You get the idea, there's plenty of reasons why someone might want to investigate [Trade] signs.
    • Any Other Information:
      • But priiiiiivacyyyy!!
        • Chests can be investigated as well?
        • Ok, protected chests can't be investigated by anyone, but only by the owner. Then just give this possibility only to the owner of the [Trade] sign?
    • Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?:
      • I honestly don't know whether another plugin might be needed or if we could just tweak the one we already have.

    Trade sign history as in when the sign updates?

    Sadly that's not possible as logblock goes off of a SignUpdateEvent, (or SignChangeEvent, i forget which it is) - and when essentials updates the text on the sign, it simply sets the text on the sign, not sending out the event.

    In a perfect world, yes, we could, but it's a waste of time as for any trade sign interactions, as they are logged elsewhere. ServerAdmins can request the trade log for info/checkups from me.

    Not something we'd be interested in doing, sorry.
