Minecraft Name: stoler202 Suggestion: enable the &k code for signs. (for extcreations of course) Reason: I don't see how &k could harm on signs. The reason it is disabled for nicknames is because of spam. On signs it simply is there and wont affect unless you stare at it. At the same time if you are creative with &k you could make very cool looking computers, like code is running on them. After seeing kalvb talking about lag i thought this thing: if people with extcreations can abuse the thing, i suggest people with extcreations can file staff requests to have staff make the &k signs. Any Other Information: nope Link To This Plugin: already there, essentials
Makes all the random characters. I have an issue with this, If someone decided to make a bunch of signs with "&k" on them, they cause a bit of lag. So I think thats why they are disabled.
The way i find around it is the same way around redstone clocks, simply not allowing too many &k signs in a place. Therefore making &k sign overload a disallowed structure. Do i make sense?
Signs create a lot of server lag, when there are too many in an area the server simply lags out. As Stoler said, they are like redstone clocks, with '&k' enabled, people will use it as an incentive to simply place random signs everywhere with this code, this is the way i see it. '&k' is simply to excessive and i think it should not be enabled.
That is why i suggest allowing only upto for example 5 signs with &k and having people who use them for malicious reasons punished. The signs can at the same time be used very creatively, which is the reason for me to suggest this. I would like to make computers with "code" running in them.
There is no way to limit how many '&k' codes are typed per person, this is too far fetched. The only way for this to work is by limiting signs, and for people who have payed for extcreations that is wrong.
It would be impossible to limit &k signs. As well, enabled &k for signs may enable it for things like nicknames. The lag could easily be immense, too. I find that the simplest things lag the most.
All i really need is SOME way for me to get the &k code for my project. That is why i am suggesting this.
Ok so... There is already some lag generated by Redstone Clocks, so you want to add the &k to signs to generate even more lag. As @MoofinK said, signs make tonnes of lag and I would like to think andrew wont allow this. But Ill give you the benefit of the doubt.
