FakeAdmin
FakeAdmin
What is FakeAdmin? FakeAdmin is a plugin that allows administrators to make players asking for admin/OP a "fake administrator". Fake administrators can use commands built into this plugin and custom plugins using this plugin's API and it makes it as realistic as possible. For example, /nick does not really nickname them, but it shows in chat as having a nickname for only fake administrators. Same with coloured chat (if Essentials is enabled). Another example is /kick, which hides the target player from all fake administrators, and then after a random amount of seconds between 5 and 24, it shows them again.
The only downside to this is that a fake administrator's chat is in a different format (still customisable) but does not change any tags such as their faction, etc. This can, however, be done using a custom plugin, hooking into this plugin's easily usable API.

Developers
There is an amazing API that is easily usable. It allows developers to add custom fake administrator commands, and handle chat messages in a different way.

Posted Oct 28, 2015heh I know your whole point of this was to troll-the-trollers, which don't get me wrong, we get these kind of folks too (in this day and age, it just comes with the territory of running a public server). However, I've came up with an alternative purpose for this plugin that I thought I'd share, for others to perhaps utilize as well:
The basic idea is still the same: the player is unaware of their fake rank, unaware of the fact that what they're doing, isn't actually working; thus, the player given Fake Admin goes about doing what they would do with their "newly acquired permissions" (be it with good intentions or nefarious in nature). That is where the similarities end and my idea takes over... Instead of using it to 'counter-troll', you use it to vet players! (In other words, make sure they are who they claim, and have good intentions.)
Say you want to take on volunteer moderators, but despite all the playing and chatting you've monitored them doing, you're still uncertain as to whether they'd make for a reliable, trustworthy, or even competent person to take up that role... What do you do? Usually, you would assign them actual permissions, monitor what they do, hope for the best and pray they don't abuse what they've been given! BUT now you can give them Fake Admin 'rank' and anything they do is now harmless, so if they did have any ill intentions you'd find out still, simply without having to deal with any aftermath. Granted, you wouldn't be giving a moderator any sort of powerful command perms, but they still could give a bunch of players absurd/profane names, or depending on the extent of your server's moderation abilities, kick a bunch of people. All of which would need to be explained and smoothed over afterwards.
So there you have it! Turning what is basically a "Baby Pacifier for Trolls" into a legitimate "Trial Run of Potential-Staff Members" :)

Thanks haha, and the reason I made it is because I think it is unique, not fully sure though as I didn't do any research beforehand.
