We all have seen that video.
Recently, several people from Planet Minecraft(sarcasm) are joining our server and asking to be OP'd for their PMC Review(again sarcasm). Two days ago I had to tell 3 guests that it doesnt work on us.
I would suggest a major crackdown and maybe make this clear:
Planet Minecraft or not, we're not gonna OP a guest just because he asked.
Place a sign right in front of the spawn saying "Do not ask for Op right now. We saw the video too."
Here's how the conversation went after I told him that:
(G for guest)
G: hey I'm from planet minecraft I need to be op
Me: Dude. You have been on this server for a little over 5 seconds. No. We know of the Planet Minecraft excuse video.
G: ok you passed the test
Me: We're not stupid. Opticraft is a better server, we know you're just avoiding looking like you're stupid and you don't wanna look guilty.
G: no it was test.
Me: WE'RE NOT STUPID. Do I really have to repeat it?
G: I just wanted to review the server for planet minecraft
Me: No. It's an excuse to be op instead of hanging out as guest.
G: I'm not trying to be serious I was just seeing how smart u were
Me: If you weren't serious, you wouldn't have asked.
(others jump in conversation, noob leaves)
Tell me what you think.

We know of this, as we get many daily. We moderators have our way of dealing with this which is effective. A sign would do nothing, cause they won't bother reading it.

Could one of you guys maybe post link with the mentioned video? I've never seen and I'm curious to watch it.

I myself haven't seen it, but basically what they want is get OP, and use World Edit or Creative to grief large areas (of usually spawn etc)

There's two good answers for this.
1) Say, "Hey you want Operator here? Okay sure! *Never gives them rank and wastes their time*
2) "No. We will NOT give you Operator. Build and enjoy Opticraft. Have a nice day."

You have not done that until you've managed to con one of them for over an hour and a half, while siphoning off their money, member and guest rewards, and all their items. That was brilliant <3

We usually just kick them and they never come back, if they are persistent I personally ban them for like an hour, and they still won't come back.
-
I simply ignore it. They'll give up eventually
-
I just ignore them, but make sure to say in the Staff channel their name and that they asked for Op so the other online staff know to ignore them too.

Had the same experience lately. We shut him down pretty quickly. ;D

I banned a person yesterday because he was asking continously for ADMIN rank.
I explained him that he cannot take it.
He said that he is gonna hack the server.
5 Warnings and OUT.
Now, he is banned for a long,...long period.
-
Chat that was the same guy I was talking about!
-
I think people like that deserve all the belittling you can pile on them. Go hog wild, but remember to keep it clean. :P
-
I an so glad you brought that up. I am getting so tired of all of those guests claiming that they are from planet minecraft!
-

I have seen that before..

-
I Think there is a PMC Rep for the server.
-
They need to get it in their fat dumb heads none of our admins are that stupid. I mean come on no ones going to op you because your "reviewing" our server
-
Plus Planet minecraft dont do server reviews i think...

Yes this is true, I had checked their website and they don't do reviews. Although I wish they did.
Anyways, the main point of this topic was to let everybody who doesn't already know, it's not real. Don't fall for their crap. To see the video, the link has been re-posted here:

Plus guys, let's be honest. Even if they are PMC, why do they need operator rank to review a server? You actually CAN'T review the server as op, because you can do anything! It's not even survival.

Server reviewers (I used to be one) don't even announce they're reviewers. We prefer to hop on a server, stay completely anonymous, and get a feel for the server as if we were just a regular player. You can't do a valid review of a server if everyone knows you're reviewing the server. It's the same as hotel, restaurant, etc. reviewers... They stay completely anonymous and you never know they've been there until after the review is done.
Anyone who actually claims to be a reviewer, before the review is done, is a complete fake.

LOL. Best way to troll the person:
1) Make a "planet minecraft" admin rank that looks like a normal admin rank that lets the person with the rank fly and use commands. HOWEVER, no matter what command is used by a player of the "planet minecraft" admin rank, it simply bans the player. So if I was in this rank and I did "//set lava" with world edit, it would actually translate to "/ban !self" (!self of course being replaced with whatever namespace represents applying to myself). The same would go to any other command used while having this rank.
2) make the "planet minecraft" reviewer an "admin" as described above
3) Player flies around and uses a world edit command or some other command.
4) some command is used by the player with the "planet minecraft" admin rank, but the only thing that happens is the kid bans himself because he isn't a real admin, he is a "planet minecraft" admin, and a script replaces all commands done by "planet minecraft" admins with a self ban command.
5) When the player bans himself the ban message that he/she sees could be "Planet Minecraft my ass!".
Idea is clever, No? This could be the best way to troll these "Planet Minecraft" reviewers lolz.

I absolutely LOVE this idea! Bukkit users and scripters, do this NOW!

Huge wall of Text
This would be funny, but also will not happen. (Im 99% sure) This is a useless rank, we could easily just kick them, or ignore them.
-
XD you just quoted huge wall of text...
Anyways, but that wouldn't be fun! Just some stupid command...why not make them that "admin rank"! Then it would be hilarious. In fact, if this is done, we could post this on YouTube! Server and plugin gets fame, huge success, COMPLETELY ends this excuse! We would just have to make a successful plugin
-
Yeah, it's SUPPOSED to be a useless rank. It is there for the comedy of tricking these "Planet Minecraft" people into thinking they are being set as a real admin, but then in the end they do a command and ban themself!
The best part is when they ban themself the chat could display:
"Planet Minecraft idiot <playerName> banned himself!"
