Staff rank using gamemode

Question

On my small minecraft server, the MITs (Mod in Training) have access to /gamemode /gm(s or c) when they don't have a permission node for it. I don't want the MIT rank to have access to the game mode changing commands.

Answer 1

Make sure they aren't OPed or have the * permission.

If using PEX, I personally add the permission, but prefix it with a '-' meaning that it prevents the node from coming into use regardless of inheritance.

In your case, if using Essentials, you would do: /pex add -essentials.gamemode.* /pex add -essentials.gamemode And if your not using Essentials, then here is what you'd do: /pex add -bukkit.command.gamemode

Answer 2

you could make a scoreboard clock that automaticly reverts the gamemode change:

/scoreboard objectives add mode dummy

/scoreboard players set [MITsurvival] mode 0

/scoreboard players set [MITcreative] mode 1

on a clock:

/gamemode s @a[m=!s,score_mode=0]

/gamemode c @a[m=!s,score_mode_min=1]

the only problem I see is that someone in the know of how it works could change their scoreboard value, or simply destroy the clock. If you can find a good workaround for both of these, this should be foolproof
