Advertise Event Option (Solutions for Competitions, Roleplays, and Other Spam) Hello! So I recently have some problems with spam because I have a skin competition and I like to do these competitions, but I've seen a lot of people having spam mute (Like me) only for wanting people to come to their competition, shop, roleplay or even to their plot to help. So I want to think in an alternative solution to this problem so like these people do not have to spam in local chat and staff stop putting spam mutes or warnings (Only in creative in this case). o--------------------------------------o I think in a special option in chat, that is the "Advertise Option". This option let you send a pre-written message from staff to the chat, for advertising your competition, roleplay, shop, etc.... So like that people can come, and instead of TPA, the message can tp other players only clicking your message. I think to put it like a menu option (Like the friend list, or the "Buy a rank" message. So I will put an example of the menu I talk about. (Colors are only for decoration) (Italic text is the text the user have to write for getting to the result) (Parenthesis text next to user write text is the explanation) (Bold text is the selected button (In case of titles and some texts (I mean the last one of Advertise Menu), they are just decoration)) /advertisemenu (This is like a crazy command, but like an imaginative command that activate the menu) ---------- Advertise Menu ---------- What are you promoting? [Roleplay] [Shop] [Competition] [Other] ------------------------------------------ ---------- Advertise Menu ---------- How many places available? [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [∞] ------------------------------------------ ---------- Advertise Menu ---------- Time: [1 minute] [2 minutes] [3 minutes] ------------------------------------------ ---------- Advertise Menu ---------- Color? (Only for some ranks) [No] [Red] [Blue] [Light Blue] [Orange] [Purple] [Yellow] [Green] [Pink] [Rainbow] ------------------------------------------ ---------- Advertise Menu ---------- Bold? (Only for some ranks) [Yes] [No] ------------------------------------------ ---------- Advertise Menu ---------- Special Message? (Max. 300 characters) (Type /advertisemessage for one) [No] ------------------------------------------ /advertisemessage This is an incredible Skin competition, the winner gets a prize! ---------- Advertise Menu ---------- Your message has been uploaded correctly to the advertise list ------------------------------------------ o--------------------------------------o Now the complement will be the advertize list, this will help users for searching faster the advertizes published, now an example of this: (Bold and colors are for decoration) (Italic text is the text the user have to write for getting to the result) (Parenthesis text next to user write text is the explanation) /advertiselist (For seeing all the advertizes the server in creative have) ---------- Advertise List (Page 1 of 2) ---------- [Competition] iiCocoe: Hello! Come to my competition! You will have fun! (0/9) (This is an incredible Skin competition, the winner gets a prize!) [Roleplay] Dragonzite102: Are you searching for a roleplay? Come to my plot for a cool roleplay! (It's an HS roleplay, come and see it!) [Other] FreezyIce: Hey! Come to my plot for spending a good day! It'll be fun! (Come for enjoying a cool maze!) [Shop] CocoHawaii360: Hello! I'm here for letting you know about my amazing shop! See you there :D (It's a cool head shop! you can find more than 1000 heads here!) ------------------------------------------------------------ /advertizelist 2 (For seeing the next page of the advertize list) ---------- Advertise List (Page 2 of 2) ---------- [Other] CoolGuy765: Hey! Come to my plot for spending a good day! It'll be fun! (I need help for building my plot, I'm building a bar, can someone help me please?) ------------------------------------------------------------ /advertizelist Other (For seeing all the advertize of [Other]) ---------- Advertise List (Page 1 of 2) ---------- [Other] FreezyIce: Hey! Come to my plot for spending a good day! It'll be fun! (Come for enjoying a cool maze!) [Other] CoolGuy765: Hey! Come to my plot for spending a good day! It'll be fun! (I need help for building my plot, I'm building a bar, can someone help me please?) ------------------------------------------------------------ o--------------------------------------o I am thinking advertizes to look in normal chat when uploaded, and also be in Advertise list, like for example (Italic text is text written by the users) (Other things are just decoration) [Rockie] iiCocoe: So it was fun [Rockie] CoolGuy765: Yeah, a lot [Rockie] FreezyIce: Hello! What are you talking about? ---------- Advertise ---------- [Roleplay] Dragonzite102: Are you searching for a roleplay? Come to my plot for a cool roleplay! (It's an HS roleplay, come and see it!) ------------------------------------ [Rockie] iiCocoe: Nothing interesting. [Rockie] CoolGuy765: Just telling jokes here o--------------------------------------o And these can be some commands for the advertizes on chat: (Italic text will be command and the text next to it will be the explanation) /advertisemenu (This is a command that activates the advertize menu) /advertisemessage (This is for putting a personalized menu to your advertize) (If you don't activate the /advertizemenu command it would not work.) /advertiselist [Category] [Number] (For seeing all the advertizes the server in creative have) /advertiseoff (For blocking all advertizes to appear in local chat) /advertiseon (For unblocking all advertizes to appear in local chat) /reportadvertise [User] [Reason] (For reporting an inappropriate advertise extra message to the staff) /advertisetime (Check the time your advertize still available in advertize list) /deleteadvertise (For deleting the advertize you made) o--------------------------------------o Now some details from the advertize: 1. When you click on the username that appears in an advertisement, I am thinking you can teleport to the user that is advertising the product, and when you click the username, this square can appear in the chat) -------- Accept Teleport -------- Are you sure you want to teleport this user? [Yes] [No] --------------------------------------- 2. If you publish an advertisement, you can't publish another one at that time. 3. When the time of your advertisement ends, the advertisement will disappear from the advertise list. 4. When the time of your advertisement ends or when you delete your advertisement (This mean your advertisement disappears from the advertise list), you can't publish another advertise until you let pass 5 minutes (This will be called advertise time). 5. Some reasons for punishments for inappropriate advertising can be: Excessive Use of CAPS/Unicode, Character Spam, Abuse of Another User/Disrespect, Fake Messages, Discussing Unapproved Deals, Unrelated Links, Staff Trolling, Impersonating Staff Members, Excessive Inappropriate Language, Bypassing Chat Filter, Encouraging Spam, Inappropriate Links, Racial/Religious/Political Disputes, Racial Slurs/Discrimination, Explicit Conversation, Death Threats / Encouraging Suicide / Encouraging Self-Harm, Advertising (The other type, the advertize of other links and games not in MC Central), Phishing, Leaking Personal Information. 6. This idea tries to end the common situations of spam that are advertizing your event in MC Central (Another event out MC Central is incorrect, remember that) like roleplays, competitions, shops, parkours, mazes, help messages, etc... Also for doing more comfortable to read messages in local chat, because seeing advertises in local chat, in my opinion, is so bothering, but I comprehend now why they do that. Also for getting clear the term "Spam", because, with this option, users don't need to spam again, they just put in the advertize list their "Event" and that's all :D. Now spamming in local chat is incorrect. 7. Some error messages can be the following ones: For /advertisemenu 1. When your advertise still in advertise list or you haven't wait the advertise time --------- Advertise Error --------- Sorry, you have to wait to publish another advertise in advertise list ---------------------------------------- /advertisemessage 2. When you use it when you haven't still use the command /advertisemenu --------- Advertise Error --------- You can't use this command because you aren't creating an advertise ---------------------------------------- /advertiselist [Category] [Number] 3. When you put an invalid category --------- Advertise Error --------- Sorry, the category you are searching doesn't exist ---------------------------------------- 4. When you put an invalid number page --------- Advertise Error --------- Sorry, the page you look for doesn't exist ---------------------------------------- /advertiseoff 5. When you had already disabled advertise in local chat --------- Advertise Error --------- You had already disabled advertise ---------------------------------------- /advertiseon 6. When you have enabled advertise in local chat --------- Advertise Error --------- You had already enabled advertise ---------------------------------------- /reportadvertise 7. When they report a user that isn't connected or isn't in creative mode or haven't use advertise menu --------- Advertise Error --------- This user never use advertise menu ---------------------------------------- /advertisetime 8. When you don't have an advertise in advertise list --------- Advertise Error --------- Sorry, you don't have any advertise in advertise list ---------------------------------------- /deleteadvertise 9. When you don't have an advertise in advertise list --------- Advertise Error --------- Sorry, you don't have any advertise in advertise list ---------------------------------------- 8. Here all the chatbox dialogue for each command /advertisemenu ---------- Advertise Menu ---------- What are you promoting?

[Shop] CocoHawaii360: Hello! I'm here for letting you know about my amazing shop! See you there :D (It's a cool head shop! you can find more than 1000 heads here!) ------------------------------------------------------------ /advertizelist 2 ---------- Advertise List (Page 2 of 2) ---------- [Other] CoolGuy765: Hey! Come to my plot for spending a good day! It'll be fun! (I need help for building my plot, I'm building a bar, can someone help me please?) ------------------------------------------------------------ /advertizelist Other ---------- Advertise List (Page 1 of 2) ---------- [Other] FreezyIce: Hey!

(I need help for building my plot, I'm building a bar, can someone help me please?) ------------------------------------------------------------ (If you select the username of some of them (In this case if you select CoolGuy765 in the advertise) -------- Accept Teleport -------- Are you sure you want to teleport this user? [Yes] [No] --------------------------------------- (If you select [Yes]) Teleporting to this user... /advertiseoff -------- Advertise Options -------- You successfully disable advertise in local chat -------------------------------------------- /advertiseon -------- Advertise Options -------- You successfully enable advertise in local chat -------------------------------------------- /reportadvertise FreezyIce [Reason] -------- Advertise Report -------- You successfully reported FreezyIce ThIt was successfully saved the recent advertise of this user -------------------------------------------- /advertisetime -------- Advertise Options -------- Your advertise will show in advertise list for: Minutes: 1 Seconds: 30 -------------------------------------------- /deleteadvertise -------- Advertise Options -------- Are you sure to delete your advertise from advertise list? [Yes] [No] -------------------------------------------- (If you select [Yes]) -------- Advertise Options -------- Your advertise has been successfully deleted from advertise list -------------------------------------------- 9. The pre-written message will be without () and the extra message will be in () 10 The player fill option (The one that looks like this: (0/9)) Will be filled automatically counting all the players that teleport to the place by pressing the username, so like for example, I have this Advertise: /advertiselist ---------- Advertise List (Page 1 of 2) ---------- [Competition] iiCocoe: Hello! Come to my competition! You will have fun! (0/9) (This is an incredible Skin competition, the winner gets a prize!) [Roleplay] Dragonzite102: Are you searching for a roleplay? Come to my plot for a cool roleplay! (It's an HS roleplay, come and see it!) [Other] FreezyIce: Hey! Come to my plot for spending a good day! It'll be fun! (Come for enjoying a cool maze!) [Shop] CocoHawaii360: Hello! I'm here for letting you know about my amazing shop! See you there :D (It's a cool head shop! you can find more than 1000 heads here!) ------------------------------------------------------------ (Then I click on iiCocoe Username on Advertise list) -------- Accept Teleport -------- Are you sure you want to teleport this user? [Yes] [No] --------------------------------------- (If you select [Yes]) Teleporting to this user... Then like for curiosity I put again the Advertise List: /advertiselist ---------- Advertise List (Page 1 of 2) ---------- [Competition] iiCocoe: Hello! Come to my competition! You will have fun! (1/9) (This is an incredible Skin competition, the winner gets a prize!) [Roleplay] Dragonzite102: Are you searching for a roleplay? Come to my plot for a cool roleplay! (It's an HS roleplay, come and see it!) [Other] FreezyIce: Hey! Come to my plot for spending a good day! It'll be fun! (Come for enjoying a cool maze!) [Shop] CocoHawaii360: Hello! I'm here for letting you know about my amazing shop! See you there :D (It's a cool head shop! you can find more than 1000 heads here!) ------------------------------------------------------------ The idea is that the player fill option, fill the number of players teleported to the user advertising automatically. 11. When player fill option get the maximum amount of player (Or get to (1/1) (2/2) (3/3) (4/4) (5/5) (6/6) (7/7) (8/8) (9/9), it automatically disappears from Advertise List. 12. When a player teleport to the user advertising by clicking his/her username in the advertise, they can't teleport again to the user by clicking the user in the advertise. Only you can advertize once per advertize o--------------------------------------o Well, I know it's a little large, but I like the idea and I want to share it with you guys for creative servers. Hope you enjoy my idea if you have any other solution for the competitions, shops and roleplay spam in local chat, let me know by replying in this post your idea (Please specify all details).
