SmartBans

SmartBans v1.0.2

Introduction
This plugin offers a 100% customizable message for banned players, check out the example ban message below!

When you ban or temporarily ban player, it will store their name, who banned them, the ban reason, and how long they're banned. This uses UUIDs for banning so you don' t have to worry about players changing their username to dodge the ban.
