    Matt and I have discussed the issue and have had Kevin implement a command for GMs which shows how long a merchant has been open for. In the case of jump glitch use, a report to a GM can be made at which point the GM will see which merchant has been open longer. The one opened more recently is guilty of glitch abusing, and will be banned for glitch abuse.

    In the case of when both merchants uptimes are nearly identical, the GM will click on the merchant and close whichever one does not open when both are clicked.

    This policy has been communicated to the staff and will be how cases are handled from this point forward.

    It's very stupid that you can't setup store above it, losing all that space for no reason, okey in tight places but with the limited space in fm
    and how people setup their stores losing this much space is very wasteful.

    I haven't seen any clear rules on this except GM's closing the store, so I don't blame him or anyone else who used it since all that has been done is closing the store and nothing about this being a glitch abuse and in those threads where it has been reported it has only been a closed store for both parties.
    Micheal did clear up some things for me, at least now I know it's a glitch abuse and it's bannable.

    I'm not gna lie, this whole situation kind of pissed me off yesterday. Tim told me in private messages that A) I was not able to refresh my store, and B) He couldn't tell what store was first. Then 1-2 hours later John mentions on the forum there's a foolproof way to tell what shop is first, and now even tells us there was a command to see that.. Why are not all GM's up to date with this method?

    The command hasn't been implemented yet. And the nobody was aware of the 100% way to detect which store was opened first until today.

    Yay finally, it always bothered me how the second store would just be closed down and just have another chance to mess with another store.

    Does this explain my confusion around this whole subject a bit more? It really sounded to me as if it was implented at the time of mentioning it.

    No it doesn't explain. Matt and I have discussed the issue (as in because of this thread we had a discussion) and following the discussion we asked Kevin to implement a command. Commands can't be implemented on the fly and can only take effect when new code is uploaded to the server, so the earliest the command could take effect is upon the next server restart. As a matter of fact, the command isn't available for use right now as there hasn't been a restart since Kevin implemented the command.

    I think it's safe to close this thread now as the solution has been posted and there really is no need for further discussion.
