Livio and I were talking, and we thought it would be cool to link our interguild accounts with our Minecraft accounts. We could use this for automatic promotions, linked suspensions/banning, or a whole assortment of things. Any opinions on this?
Also, I'd like you to post what kind of things you want as custom plugins on the server.

No. The Interguild and Interguild server are completely separate. If you grief on the server that doesn't mean you've done anything wrong according to the Interguild's rules.

Automatic promotions probably won't happen, because it's too easy to abuse any automatic system. At least having a staff member promote you is an extra layer of security against griefers.
I think it might be cool to be able to tell if someone's online on the server from the forums, but I don't know if that'd actually be useful or just creepy.
As for auto-suspensions and auto-bans (like if you get banned on the forums, you also get banned from the server at the same time), it's not that big of a deal.
I can't think of much else we can do with such a feature. Maybe a special chatbox in the forums for communicating with the minecraft players? But that's already built into the dynamic map.
Also, it's worth mentioning that depending on how you manage the linking of the two accounts, we need to worry about security. We don't want people's passwords accidentally becoming vulnerable just from using that mod. It might just be more secure to generate a secret code on the forums and then ask them to type that into a minecraft command to connect the two accounts. | | Jorster |

I can do that

Also, It's pretty hard to spam 750 posts before any mod comes on.

Anyways, I need suggestions as to what to add to the custom plugins.
