RIZZASTERAnti-Cheat Plugin Discussion Notes

The plugin that tracks and prevents cheating on the server was reviewed during last night's meeting. The current setup consists of a simple plugin that uses a whitelist of allowed plugins, and blocks any other plugins that are not listed. This has been effective in identifying and blocking cheaters, but it also means that new plugins may not be tested before being added to the whitelist.
The moderators discussed the need for a more robust system, but felt that implementing a full-fledged anti-cheat system would be too complex and time-consuming. They also noted that the current system allows for some grey areas, where a plugin may be allowed on some servers but not on others. This has led to some inconsistencies and potential security vulnerabilities.
The decision was made to continue using the current plugin setup, but to increase testing and monitoring of new plugins before adding them to the whitelist. The moderators agreed to establish a new process for reviewing and approving plugins, and to schedule regular review sessions to ensure that the system remains effective.
Open questions include the feasibility of implementing a more robust anti-cheat system, and the potential impact on server performance and player experience. It was noted that a more advanced system may require additional server resources, and that testing and validation of new plugins may become more complicated. Further discussion on these points is needed, possibly during the next meeting.
Next steps will involve updating the plugin whitelist and establishing a review process for new plugins. The moderators will also review existing plugins and update the whitelist accordingly.
