While I like the LWC-plugin mechanics, I find that one of the drawbacks for LWC is that it is not very noob friendly. You need to learn / remember a non-intuitive command; /cprotect I was going to say, but after having to look it up it's /cprivate for the common sort of lock.

You see, that's the problem right there, I see myself as technically savy, and have used commands ever since DOS was the thing you used on computers. But even I seem to forget the basic command to lock a chest.

It also doesn't follow the servers other plugins in terms of how you use them. For example "/money show", "/money log". If /money was the LWC plugin, those commands would be something as obscure as "/klog" and "/kshow". Yeah, I added that random letter of K because really, what's with the C in all those commands anyway?

So I propose that the LWC commands is altered to make them more streamlined with the servers other commands, and probably a bit easier to remember:

/lwc
/lwc help | h
/lwc private
... etc


----------------------


An alternate solution to make LWC easier to use would be to use signs like we're used to. It would work as with deadbolts, when you use a sign on a chest it gives you the basic /cprivate protection, HOWEVER, the sign is not physically put on the chest and it could even be consumed in the process. This second solution would make it more noob-friendly and less non-RP, which I find writing commands to be.

The big problem with the second solution though is accidentally clicking on a chest with a sign, making you lose 10 regals by accident, that's something that's much less likely to happen when having to write commands before clicking.

You can use /lock instead of /cprivate, and you use /cprivate instead of /lwc create private. It is not hard to remember really, wouldn't you use /lwc create private/public/password, right? It just longer to type, than /cprivate. You can always do /lwc for the list of the commands.
 
I didn't know that, it doesn't mention those commands on the plugin-page: http://www.massivecraft.com/lwc

If the commands I proposed pretty much already exists, then I simply suggest they are added to the documentation. :)
