WorldEdit Protection Help

I have a server that has already been published and stuff and it's been going pretty well. On the server, there is a rank sold that includes WorldEdit.. And it's available for anyone to purchase. The problem with this is the spawn and everything.. Free players and lower ranks can't destroy, build, the general spawn stuff. But, I'm prett sure that anybody, they don't have to be an admin or op, can change things in protected areas with their worldedit. What can I do to stop this? I want be to able to worldedit there, but no one that just buys the rank and has no admin nodes to be able to. Help please.. Lead me to a plugin or world guard flag. Or something. Thanks

 

Limit what they can do with WorldEdit. It's dangerous to give that ability to even donors, it's capable of corrupting your map and/or crashing your server when being used by someone who doesn't know what they are doing. I would suggest coming up with an alternate donation perk.

 

People go crazy for WE, that's how you get a good amount of donations, if that's what you're going for. I have it and have tons of protection against it, so there are ways to offer it and know that you are safe from it being abused.

I don't feel like disclosing how I have my server set up even though it's pretty easy to figure out, but I'll make people figure it out instead of telling them

One thing that I wish WorldEdit would allow for is the definition of a maximum selection size, with a permission to bypass the maximum. VoxelSniper has a "litesniper" permission assignment that can be used to limit the amount of damage someone new to the tool can do, but WorldEdit offers no such option.

 

Then you haven't looked at the config very much.. You can set limits for that.

Most donators do not go crazy. With how much I can limit them and protect against it, I do not have a problem. I could give it to defaults and not have a problem with people griefing with it. They also all have limits, so they can't just world edit a massive 1 million blocks.

People want WorldEdit, but no ones willing to figure out a safe way to give it to them. That's cool with me because it makes my server more popular every day.

There isn't a way to protect from worldeditors. Anyone can select a region and set it to whatever they want. The only way I can think of protecting from worldedit is to check if the selected worldedit region is protected via x plugin. Maybe I will code that myself ...

 

You should take a closer look at BukkitDev Also, CoreProtect logs WorldEdit.

 

I haven't paid much attention to the dev. You obviously know more about WorldEdit then me (but I'm still a good worldediter )

 

I know most of my plugins front to back as I've been doing this for about 2 years now

 

Oh? I'll have to have another look then, I ran a quick search of the config for "size" and "select" but neither turned anything up. Must be categorized as something else

 

Damnit ... you beat me by 1/2 a year.

 

Look for limits in the configuration. You can limit how many blocks they can change at one given time.
