Support for this plugin has been discontinued. If you wish to take over, please contact me. AuthorGreeter AuthorGreeter simply greets authors when they join your server. This can be practical when you're having problems with a plugin and you want to be sure that the person joining is actually the author (the nickname is checked against the author-name from the plugin.yml-file, no config required). Oh, and you boost the ego of plugin authors (yes, sarcasm) joining your server, thus motivating them to develop more features for existing plugins and churn out new ones Downloads Jar (Github) Jar (Dropbox) (wget-friendly!)

If you have certain plugin authors frequently on your server, then you may add them to an ignore-list so that the message isn't displayed!

very cool, too bad my server isn't cool enough to have plugin authors come in :/ you should make an API, im sure there are some other plugins you could base off this
How so? What should said API do? My plugin will detect authors of any plugin (which has the author's name in the plugin.yml-file).
you could use it to make a custom greeting for each member, use it to compare the person's name again a database to accomplish something, greet certain members with a specific announcement that applies only to them, greet Mojang developers, etc
I was thinking of hooking my plugin into iConomy etc. or give the authors certain items upon joining the first time (configurable, not preset obviously)
All I'm saying is that I'd be more likely to join a server to help out with plugin problems if this is installed. Because yes, I do have an ego.
Well, then fun thing is that when I added "(yes, sarcasm)", then that might actually imply multiple levels of sarcasm!
