About WatchDog

From SpigotMC

Implements a simple watchlist for Bukkit/Spigot servers

What is WatchDog?

WatchDog is a simple tool to allow server staff to add players to a flexible watchlist. It is designed to allow players who are questionable to be easily tracked across timezones by any staff who are online when the player logs in. Once a player has been added to the watchlist, the next time they login all players who have the watchdog.statusupdates permission will be notified that a player on the watchlist has logged in.

Installation:

Just drag and drop into your plugins folder then restart your server! Simple!

Permissions:

WatchDog uses permissions to allow selective users or groups to access specific commands. The permissions are compatible with any permissions plugin that implements Bukkit's SuperPerms such as PermissionsEx or bPermissions. Below you will find a list of all available permissions.
