Statistics & Logging

InviteMe records all invitation activity and provides statistics commands to monitor server health.

Action Log

The action log records every invitation event with timestamps and reasons.

View Recent Actions

/im log list

Permission: invite.log (default: op)

Shows the last 20 entries by default. Maximum per request: 200 (requests above this are capped automatically).

Output:

══════ Invite Action Log ══════
  [INVITE] Alice → Bob (2024-01-20 16:45)
  [UNINVITE] Admin → Charlie (2024-01-20 15:30) — rule violation
  [SYNC_ADD] Console → Eve (2024-01-17 20:30)
════════════════════

Custom Entry Count

/im log list 50
/im log list 100

Log Event Types

Type	When it Appears
INVITE	/invite add PlayerName executed
UNINVITE	/invite remove PlayerName executed
EXPIRED	Temporary invite timed out automatically
SYNC_ADD	Player added via /im sync

Reasons in the Log

When an admin removes a player with a reason:

/invite remove Bob Rule violation - griefing

The log shows:

  [UNINVITE] Admin → Bob (2024-01-20 16:45) — Rule violation - griefing

Always provide a reason when removing players — it makes moderation audits much easier.
