    okay how about just like town warps or any of that stuff you fill an app and a admin will make this sign for you. you denied it too fast for me to come up with a alternative solution, id pay 10-20k for a sign like this!

    The main problem was exploits. If I remember correctly there is a major sign issue with 1.9, I am not sure if 1.10 fixed it, hence the denial

    Yes, there have been exploits which allowed users to OP themselves on servers. It's not safe.

    Exploits can be fixed. (not to mention I can only find sign exploits in 1.8, this being fixed in 1.8.7 already)

    But according to OP, if the sign was only do-able by staffs? Wouldn't that be exploitable? Unless if they do it themselves or abused by staffs.

    This would be awesome to implement. Sorry for the necro, but I think this should be looked into.
