DontUseThat

Disallow color and styling usage, block illegal usernames, filter chat messages, and stop spam, all in one!

The idea

What if... what if there was a simple, compatible and flexible spam fighter?
DontUseThat is aimed at providing a simple way to fight spam, but also to fight chat exploits, add username rules, add a more extensive color and styling permissions system, and all of that in one single plugin.

Features

• Instant log-in and log-out prevention!
  • Configurable rules!
  • Automatic IP banning (configurable)!
• Color and styling permissions
• /plugins and /about permissions
• Chat timeout (both message and command)
• IP blocking! (block IPs in chat)
• Username rules
• Operator and permission-based warnings (let users with the node know an user attempted to do something he couldn't)

When?

This plugin is still experimental. I am working on it every day to make it better.
DontUseThat is a complex plugin to code. I am administrator on CreenCraft which is currently running the plugin, and the whole community is helping me test everyday. Thanks to them!
I expect to release a first alpha version soon, featuring most of the things I mentioned here.

To-do list

• Word blacklist
  • Allow wildcards
• Username blacklist (like work blacklist but only applies to usernames)
• Login logs
• Command blacklist (run only from console)?
• URL blocking
• Command warning (when player uses commands which are considered "dangerous" (configurable))
• Emergency command - de-op all players leaving the player who ran the command the only op, this command would be customizable (such as /emergency [password] or /[customcommand] [custom arguments], where customcommand would only be known by the actual physical server operators)
• Economy transaction watcher (Vault dependency), warnings if big amounts get tranfered (configurable)
• Any suggestions?
