Chest Protection Revamped

[Crashlander04]

So I'm thinking how we protect chests needs a look at for Revamped.

I don't know how many of us really like protecting our chests by placing blocks on them, or how many thieves think it's unfair to have instantaneous protection as previously stated.

Whether or not we are going to make chests better, more efficiently protected, or more realistically, less protected is up to the admins in the end, but I still think we should discuss what would be best.

I have personally seen on other servers certain /commands that lock and unlock chests, and other systems such as magical protection, and custom-entrance protection (set which players you want to be able to enter the chest).

I believe that even though these systems would be convenient they wouldn't be realistic of many of the RP players on the server; not every character is going to know basic chest enchanting spells right off the bat. Do you think minor RP aspects such as this should be forsaken for better protection?

However, I found the lock/unlock commands (on a now forgotten server) to be helpful and more realistic - a player would be just as like to forget to lock the chest as they are to forget to place another block back on them, yet only the player who made the chest would have the ability to lock it (establishing that they have a hidden key or something of the sort).

That's just my 2 cents; I just saw the little discussion on the Guilds Revamped thread and thought I'd make a full thread on it.
