I honestly don't agree with this. There would be way too many appeals, and players would start to quit, as said by MrPronounce.
Luckily we have mods who stated in their mod app how hard working they are and such, so the spam of appeals shouldn't be an issue.
Just because someone is banned on one mode for hacking, or excessive disrespect, or anything like that, doesn't mean that will stop them from doing it on other gamemodes either. I think for scammers instead of a lobby ban they should be banned (/ban) on the gamemode, the appeal will be taken out as normally, but the player Must pay back/give back what he scammed in order to be fully unbanned. Just my opinion.
I think this is a very good idea, however it would be very hard to implement. It would take having both players online in order to get the money back to the player that was scammed. Unfortunately all the times I've been scammed, it is usually a newer player that does the scamming. Most of them do not have a forums account and wouldn't make an appeal for the ban if it were a lobby ban. They would just move on to another server, which in turn, would lose players for Mineverse. This is honestly a tough one. I love the idea, but like others have posted, it would lose players for Mineverse. I think I'm going to have to change to neutral on it.
Support, but maybe, if this doesn't take up too much time, the moderators will ban accordingly based on the severity of said scam. Say if you were scammed 500k in Skyblock, which is a massive wad of money, the player would receive a lobby ban until the appeal is carried out, and the money is payed back in full. Doing this would give scammers the punishment they deserve and it also means victims, who get affected daily, will be given back the money they lost.
Maybe instead of the player giving the money/items back the mods should have perms to do it themselves, live @Dyna_Mighty said it is usually a new player or someone who doesnt care about the server. It would make it harder to arrange both the players getting on at the same time.
In order to do that we'd have to have gamemode 1, or /give, or something like that. Cypriot wouldn't give us either of those. For money we'd have to have admin permissions for the economy plugin. He also would not give us permissions for that.
I can see too many ways to trick mods and admins to get free stuff making a false scam report(alts). Agree on a perm ban only in the game mode they scammed. But I can't see anyway people could get back their stuff. :/
It's a nice idea, and would reduce scammers, but a lot of people would be ticked off (Yes, I mean those short-tempered and impatient) and leave. There's a lot of scammers, but this idea might not work out
Aight Support, but please be sure to record while trading people . This prevents lots of these incidents from happening
Something needs to be implemented to be a further deterent because I could just go online get a cracked acount, transfer t to my main and no one would be the wiser. However without giving mods operator commands to reset balances this just isn't really possible. Something does need to be done though but 30 day lobby bans are probably not the way
Mods will never have the power to give money, it's too dangerous all it takes is one mod to secretly start paying someone and the economy of that server goes to hell.
