Nhataley:
I have experiance with this plug-in before aswell. But I think it is not necassry because you can do it with redstone.

And also, staff don't want players making shops right outside spawn, but, as far as I know from other servers with this plugin, that rarely ever happens. The one problem I do know with this is that there is a way to scam players

Here is the way you put in the chestshop words (on a sign above a chest)


--- Code: ---(your username)
(number of items)
B/S(B=Buy/S=Sell)(item cost)
item name

--- End code ---


so it might look like:


--- Code: ---goalieguy60
1
S 500
diamond

--- End code ---
this means that a person can sell one diamond to the chest for and in return get $500.

The problem is, people can do

--- Code: ---goalieguy60
500
S 1
diamond

--- End code ---
this means the person will sell 500 diamonds to the chest for one dollar. Most people will view this still as $500 for one diamond, because they see the 500 and the 1, and by common sense people will assume it is $500 for one diamond. This could be counted as scamming but other than this just read the sign carefully before a huge payment and we could be fine with this plugin. I personally give it ***** stars.

(click to show/hide)I knew you'd return! I knew it!

I see your point about scamming but I honestly think it should come down to the player to notice these things themselves.

I've posted a thread about chest shops before and I definitely pledge my support for this idea.

The main reason this was denied the first time was because the staff were afraid that these shops would be spammed all over the world...

Pretty much this. We visited many servers over the course of how long it took us to put up the original 1.0 server and found servers with this plugin had chest shopped damn near everywhere. So we decided to not add it to this server.

When you say everywhere, do you mean as in people put chest shops in their bases or they literally set them up wherever they could so people could see them?

It's a shame there aren't ways to limit where you can place them. Obviously you could have a rule, but that would require moderators to work more which is a bit unfair on them really.
