MCME PlotSquared is an extension to the publicly available PlotSquared plugin.
I'm simply looking for any form of ideas, or issues with the MCME PlotSquared extension. I understand in its current state and or without looking at some of the announcements released about it you might not fully understand what it is meant to do. Hence here is a brief overview of the current version of the plugin and the plans for the updated version.
The goals of this extension are:
1. Allow new builders building on MCME receive some form of feedback/input without too much hassle.
2. Allow experienced builders to have some sort of recognition/goals.
3. Ensure a higher quality level of plots on the PlotSquared server
Current version
The current plugin (disregarding bugs) allows users to submit 1 plot at a time for review. During this period the owner can not build on it. Builders can go into reviewparties to review plots, alone or together. They need to give both feedback and a rating. Once a plot receives 5 (or more) reviews it will be accepted if the total rating is above 50, denied otherwise.
If the plot is accepted the plot will remain locked and the owner can claim a new one. Alternatively if the plot is denied the plot will once again become accessible to allow the owner to resubmit it once improved.
My primary issues with the current system are:
1. Unintiuitive to use for new players.
2. It may take a long time for a plot to get reviewed 5 times
3. Unintuitive for builders.
Upcoming version
A user can now choose to submit their plot for either a normal or a short review. A normal review will consist of 2 review stages. The first stage is the feedback stage, after which they can change the plot and submit again for the second stage. The second stage is the rating stage, this will determine whether the plot gets accepted or not. A short review will simply bypass the feedback stage and go straight to ratings.
Furthermore there will be messages sent in chat to the plot owner informing them of when the review process is done. Similarly the builders will get messages if there are plots available for them to review.
The keen eye might have noted that the second point of the goals of the extension is also not yet fullfilled. (Although the times team does do their best already!) for this there will be a leaderboard, simply comparing ratings.
To adress the time constraint a bit further the time to review a plot will be limited to 3 days, after which it will simply get accepted with a score of 50. Hopefully with the more intuitive design more builders will use the review process though.
Thank you in advance.
