#Name field is the person who is banned. Case insensitive.

#Date/time field is in the following format: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss Z",
# or the literal "Unknown". Any values it doesn't recognize will be "Unknown".

#Banned by field is the operator who banned the player. Empty values will be
# treated as "Unknown".

#Until field is the same format as date/time. If this isn't "Forever" then the
# player will be unbanned at (roughly) the specified time. Unknown values are
# treated as "Forever".

#For field is the reason the player was banned. It will be displayed when the
# client tries to join. May contain format codes. Empty defaults to
# "Banned by an operator."

@SamP20 Yes! There should be some system to disable bukkit components in the config and at runtime, and then have enough events to implement it on our own. (Ex. player login events for bans) -Zonedabone

For example if we wanted to store the banned playerlist in a database then we would write a plugin with the appropriate component, and get it to override the default implementation. Ofc it could be done with events too, although imo this is far more efficient. --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://gist.github.com/2422512

Wait, so if the ban message contains commas, it won't screw it up? It just looks a bit confusing, though.

@Surfjamaica Nah, the line is split into 5 parts. The ban message is always the last part so no matter how many commas the ban message contains it will be fine. Read this javadoc http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html#split%28java.lang.CharSequence,%20int%29 It is the very piece that is being used.
