I think we should standardize error messages and feedback, like what changed in Pryaxis/TShock@c4cf2d4 with /register in TShock.

I think any error message that gets sent to either the console or a player should have not only a clear message, but a reasonable solution attached too.

Bad:

1. There was a problem with the database. [StackTrace]
2. A user already exists by that name.
3. That group does not exist!

Good:

1. There was a problem with the database. [StackTrace]. To solve: make sure that your database connection information is correct in the config file, and that the database is running. If you're using MySQL, run netstat -tulpn to verify that MySQL is listening on the port you're trying to connect to.
2. That user account already exists. Try re-registering with a different username.
3. The group "adminz" doesn't exist. Did you mean "admins"? If you need to, create a new group with [syntax for new group creation].

In other words, error messages should be both informative and actionable. If the error message is something we can't expect someone to solve, we should make it clear that they need to report the issue on the forums or on Github. Look at what Ruby does if Ruby dies:
