The Bug Reports & Suggestions area has been used for a while now and I thought it was time to replace the initial sticky topic.
This topic is here to explain what this area is for and how you can use it.

What is the Bug Reports & Suggestions area?
It is an area where users can report bugs and make suggestions regarding the minecraft server.
If you have a suggestion for the clan or forums, you can post that here (http://forums.slapgaming.com/forumdisplay.php?118-Suggestions).

How do I use this area?
If you have a suggestion or want to report a bug, click Post New Thread like you usually do to make a new topic. Add a title that describes your suggestion (So not "Please add this", instead use something like "McMMO").
Before you can post it you need to assign it a prefix. You can do this by clicking the drop down menu called "Prefix" above the Title bar, you can choose between Bug and Suggestion.
Any changes to the prefix after the topic has been posted will be made by me (changing it to In Progress etc.).
You may only post one suggestion/bug report per topic. This rule was already in place before I made this new topic, but it hasn't been followed all that well. I will be more strict with this rule from now on.

What do the prefixes mean?
In Progress means the bug/suggestion has been confirmed/accepted and I'm working on it.
Solved/Accepted means the bug/suggestion has been fixed/made and is live on the server (or will be with the next server restart).

What should I put in my suggestion/bug report?
You need to clearly explain the bug/suggestion. Suggesting how this should be implemented on the server is not required (nor is it forbidden), we will always decide how we implement it ourselves.
If your suggestion/bug report is only vaguely described then we will not be able to do anything with it.
When making a plugin suggestion please also add a link to the BukkitDev page :)

Can I see your code?
I've been adding more complex and original things lately and some people were really interested in getting the code for it. I don't mind if people look at my code to learn and use bits, but stealing parts of it isn't really what I want, so the full source code is no longer available. If you are interested in seeing parts of it to learn then you can always contact me :)
