Allow moderators access to /Vanish ?

On Mineverse, there is pretty much a 1:8 hacker:legit ratio, and the mods are trying to catch them. However, once a moderator approaches or logs on into a server, client hackers immediately turn off their hacks until the moderator leaves. This is a problem because most people don't have a recording software to capture hacks and usually rely on mods to catch them.

If moderators had permission to use the vanish command, it would be a lot easier to catch hackers because they wouldn't know if a mod was online or not.

 

I think they should just invis. potion or gm 3.... Then they would be able to recieve messages about hackers on at the same time + hidden, its a win-win.

I think /gm 3 would be better.

 

This has already been suggested but what Eva .-.

 

I vote for either /vanish or gm3. Honestly, just anything that would make us invisible would be soooo helpful!

 

(No support)
/gm 3 would be less abuse friendly ;)
Auzzi, could you confirm if gm 3 would serve the same purpose or would it have some issues?

 

I'm going with Neutral

I already attempted to suggest this.

/gm 3 would be a little better

 

Support for /v, gamemode 3 shows your head and hackers can concentrate on that so it wouldn't work too well.

 

No support. I believe some Staff members may abuse it.

 

Support but only for head mods or sr mods.

 

Spectator mod not/v mods will abuse or use it to ignore players

 

Wow, you guys really trust our staff.
If all of the mods are truly responsible, respectable people, then giving them /v should be no issue.
Support

 

/v would be perfectly fine, and as Smiley said. Gamemode 3 shows players your head, which really doesn't make you invisible that much.
Support.

 

Support

 

How would /v be bad though

 

It can be easily abused.

 

But if the staff are of high quality, then it shouldn't be a problem

 

Neutral, This can be good and bad. It could be abused but also good to catch people doing bad things. I would prefer /gm 3 over /vanish.

 

I believe there is a plug-in that crew can purchase. Maybe the developers can make a customized plug-in?

 

GM3 opens up more opportunity to abuse, so I don't see any of these points having validity. In GM3 you can phase through blocks, which can be highly abused.

A perfect idea that @Pile told me about is a /spectate command, without mods having vanish. It'd put a moderator into /god /fly and /vanish, though when they do /spectate again it takes them out of all those modes and teleport them to spawn.
