Trade plugin explained!

I just installed SpoutTrade (the name is misleading; it doesn't use Spout anymore)! This plugin lets you trade items with another player. This should eliminate scamming. If you don't want to click that link and read the developer's explanation, I'll do my best to simplify how to use the plugin.

The 4 commands available are:

• /trade {player}
• /trade accept
• /trade decline
• /trade ignore - this toggles whether or not you want to see trade requests

You have to be within in 20 blocks from the player to initiate the trade. 

If you initiate a trade by typing "/trade {player}" and they accept using "/trade accept", a virtual chest will pop up on both of your screens. The top half is where you place your items; the bottom half is where they will place their items. If you try to place your item in their slot, it will not let you.

When one player closes the chest screen, the trade will be pending with whatever items were in the chest. A message will be sent to both players describing exactly what items are being traded. You can then type "/trade accept" if the trade looks right. Or decline it with "/trade decline".

This plugin does not facilitate the transfer of money directly but I came up with an easy workaround. I have made Sponges in the shop buy/sell for 1k. So say you want to pay someone 50k for a god sword. You just buy 50 sponges and trade them that for it and they can go and sell it for 50k. I'm a genius.
