:'D

I like your style :Y

I'm caerphoto. I don't think I've been on when you have :((

I keep getting stuff I've built screwed about with by someone calling themselves "Assassinmaster00--".

If that's your son, can you suggest he goes and builds his own stuff and stops changing/destroying my constructions.

Yeah, whoever this person is they've been fucking peoples' shit up generally. And I don't see them on the whitelist? Blacklist them maybe?

Or that thing where blocks immediately revert, but only applied to them, so they can't change anything.

:'D

Oh that'd be fun!

They're not on the whitelist in post 1 because I can't edit it but they're on the actual list.

That is definitely possible. I can remove someones building privs.

he was on this morning and says someone is wrecking his stuff

I suspect this to be false.

Maybe Ant should make a message when we log on about leaving other people shit alone?

Worth a pop, fair to give a warning first I guess.

He was on the other day when I was there. He didn't agree with me that hacking obsidian out of someone's roof would probably annoy someone.

Yeah, I've never encountered the person myself but several people have described instances of him/her being a dick in various ways. Probably best to do what pete said. I'd question whether someone who calls themselves assassinmaster has the mental faculties or social consideration to respond to a warning anyway.

Just putting this out there, assassinmaster00 !== assassinmaster00--

Could it be that the whitelist doesn't work correctly and is doing a in string (whatever the strstr equivalent is in Java) comparison?

Or it's tripping over the --. In (My)SQL -- is the start of a comment and if it's not escaped correctly it can cause problems. Someone here searched for 'assassinmaster00--' this morning and Sphinx tripped over it for instance.

I can't setup a message right now but someone could ask Ricard00 about it, or I'll just end up removing the user from the whitelist.

I think he/she should be warned first. Jon said it's a 10 year old kid and I'd feel better with a warning first, but that's just me.

Yeah, that was me looking for mention of them here.

I haven't seen them in game, but the signs they leave use the -- bit; I didn't know if their username did, but the beehive message I replied to didn't have them.

But if patch caught them wrecking my obsidian roof, it's probably is the same person.

btw, not sure how much you care, but in case you do find it useful knowledge...

Java has String.contains("substring") and String.equals("fullstring") along with a whole bunch of others (like indexof/startswith/endswith/etc).

The language itself doesn't do any string parsing for comments/variables - strings are immutable; you have to concatenate every time you want to change/insert anything.

Of course, this doesn't tell us anything about how Bukkit or any plugin does stuff (e.g. whether it uses a compact SQL db or whatever), but I felt like writing it so meh.
