Bukkit

For months now I have been really annoyed by plugins such as mcmmo/factions that insist on giving permissions out to every player in the plugin.yml

while this is good for the average idiot with a 10 slot server and only one map its quite a pain in my ass. When I have several maps where things like mcmmo and factions should be disabled. It means i then need to go around and undo all their handy work.. or just edit the plugin.yml every time i download an update. neither of which is ideal and is more of a band-aid than a fix.

What I am looking for is a Config setting to completely Ignore the permissions coming from plugin.yml

I know that will knock out some Op permissions as well but i don't use that at all I have no op's for security reasons.

The simple fact is I'm sick of plugin developers thinking they know whats best for MY server and at the end of the day I am running it and I know whats best iv been doing it longer than bukkit plugins have been around.

I don't know if this is even possible but I really hope it is :(

I'm not completely sure if this will work, but maybe give the negative permissions a try, in case of mcmmo

groups:
  default:
    permissions:
    - ^mcmmo.defaults
    - ...

(note the ^ in front of the permission!) I'm not sure which takes precedence here, just randomly guessing

wow just wow the stupidity of people never ceases to surprise me.

I clearly know how to use negative permissions the Point of a Global disable is to prevent me having to spend my time undoing what plugin devs did. it also would keep my permissions file smaller and that can only be good.
