Automatic Whitelisting. [When denied entry, the second time grants you access]

    When someone tries to join your server, they see (and the console says):
    2012-06-24 20:21:55 [INFO] Disconnecting LegendCookie [/173.24.201.27:52349]: You are not white-listed on this server!

    When this happens, have a script that automatically adds them to the whitelist.

    This can be possibly beneficial for two reasons:
    1. If they try again, they can play on your server. (It's possible he wasn't going to apply, so this is a plus)
    2. If they apply to the whitelist after trying, they immediately get in and think "Wow, that was fast!".

    Just an idea.

    So... why even have a whitelist?

    Probably the reason many servers use whitelists. To get replies in their MC forum threads so more people see their server.

    That's the only reason I've ever used it for. My servers are protected against griefing. Whitelist applicants are the only thing keeping my thread from seeing the bottom of the abyss.
