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.
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.
