    Suggestion: When a players issues /pay, the sent message will have a time next to it.
    Example:
    /pay andrewkm 1000
    on my screen: $1000 has been sent to andrewkm at 12:00 on 11-21-2015. (or whatever date format is possible)
    on his screen: $1000 has been received from Dccciz at 12:00 on 11-21-2015.

    Reason: If someone has screenshots of them paying someone, they often forget to take screenshots with timestamps, allowing users extra time/free money. With this, if they have a screenshot of the payment, they also have a screenshot of the date.

    Any Other Information: Nope

    Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?: Essentials, I think.

    I really believe this would be essential so that time stamps are easy to read and users would not be in a lesser position when they forget to take time stamped screenshots.

    -1, it will make it more confusing... Just timestamp your photos.

    How would it be more confusing?
    1. It will prevent scammers from getting away with loans.
    2. It's not even a full line of text, just an addition of a couple numbers.

    I personally am not one who forgets to time stamp their loans, but I am aware of many people who do forget, time and time again. This would be a great addition to the command. As for those who don't want to see the extra line of text, perhaps something can be done to toggle the time stamp? Make the time stamp appear by default and make the player have to disable the time stamp? I dunno, just my two cents. +505!

    Yes please!! This would make our jobs easier in policing loans, because we can't do anything without timestamps, so this would help loads!

    "I just don't like it" is not an argument. The pros are clearly there and it has literally no cons. What is there not to like about it?

    Very strong reasoning, great job!

    +1 to the suggestion itself, though.

    Uh. Not really.
    Annoying to code, yeah, possibly. But it's messing with something that is core to essentials, and andrew dun likey dat.

    Just add it as a variable for the message, like 2 lines of code or something. how is that annoying?

    Code:
    public static String getCurrentTimeStamp()
    {
        return newSimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").format(new Date());
    }
    
    Put that in DateUtil and just call DateUtil.getCurrentTimeStamp() as a parameter to the tl() function

    I like this idea. Just gotta make it clear that it's server time, but that's helping standardise everything anyway.

    i think this should be able to be toggled, coming from someone who will pays a lot of people in a casino, or after sg splits it will be annoying seeing a timestamp every time. If this can be toggled +1 if not -1

    Sorry for this being off topic.

    But, what do you mean by "Server Time"? I am amusing it is the time the server runs on, but if so, what time zone would it be? (if it does not run on a time zone then nm this.)

    Also, +001 to the suggestion. (again)

    It would be server time-zone, which should be PST, iirc.
