I kept the names private to avoid biases. My first response will be to ask Frag to tell us how to stop the auto restarts. I've wanted to fuck them anyways for a long time, just been too lazy.

My next response will be to reward the tattler for informing us (via oddyguy) about this chat log. He wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.

Not sure what to do about user, but that's because I know who it is and I'm biased.

Who is the user I say ban thats fucked. :Im total item wipe is more realistic tho, Every house, every chest, everything. Hunt n stalk him to the point we find even his wild hidden shit then wipe it aswell

Now that I know we need to keep this quiet and stalk them n get the hidden chests.

Ok so more digging and persuasion turned up the method. They wait until the server restarts for the save. Then they place the items in the chests.
Then they use whatever methods possible to crash the server, from egg spamming to tnt to lava. The crash reverts the inventory back to the save, but the map stays the same.

Thanks for letting me know, now the odd part is why would they do it when servers shutting down? Is it because they want it to look intentional? Ill write a plugin for you to save player data when they use chests, should fix it

lol atfirst I read that going wait why is my name here, but then I realized we used it for Acc Info. Lold ;D

I don't know who the person abusing it is, but I suggest not a ban but a item swipe/chest wipe and everything. Keep stats, just item swipe.
