Something I used to think about a bit while putting up my last resource was the ability to do user blacklisting for resources. I remembered this point from a post that Ivian made ( http://www.mc-market.org/threads/265459/#post-2504187 ) about wishing that was a feature. Anyways, let's get into the suggestion:

If you're not already aware on what Blacklisting would do, it would enable you to give some users on the forums no access to purchase your resource(s). For instance, with my TagsGUI resource:

User 1 scammed me a while ago by charging back or doing whateveh and tries purchasing it
I type his name down in a section during the resource creation where I'd disable him from purchasing or downloading the resource in general.

The resource would still be visible to the user, just non-purchasable along with it saying to that user "The author of this resource has Blacklisted you from purchasing a license", or something like that.

I realize some of you would be thinking why this is necessary, but there's actually a couple reasons this could be extremely useful. For instance, people you do not want to purchase a license, due to you knowing their previous history in leaking products, them scamming you in the past, etc. you could blacklist them disabling them from doing their various things.

If you disagree with my point for resource user blacklisting, please comment below. I'd love to hear answers ^_^

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Give them a license and disable it.

They won't be able to purchase or download your resource, ever. Blacklisted. Boom.

(Though perhaps we can make a button for doing this all at the same time, so users don't have to worry about the 4 seconds between giving the license and disabling it, that the user will somehow discover they have a licence and download the product.)

I was just about to make this suggestion....
Well, good to know it already exists, though there's a trick to it. Wiki post time, I guess.[DOUBLEPOST=1510684571][/DOUBLEPOST]Added this trick to the resource wiki page FAQ.

That seems good enough to me. If no custom development is necessary, then lets not do custom development.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
