Spartan AntiCheat & AntiExploit v4.0.8.8

News:

• A new command has been added to help customers use Spartan's reporting system in all cases, since it now greatly benefits the Search-Engine and most of the plugin's features. This command unlike others is dynamic, meaning it's not registered in the plugin's plugin.yml file, therefore preventing any kind of concurrent bugs from occurring, and will need to be enabled via the settings.yml configuration. Permissions apply per usual.

Logs:

• Implemented a new settings.yml option. (Punishments.enable_raw_report_command)
• Implemented a new dynamic command. (/report)
• Slightly improved the Command event-handler.
• Implemented a new very requested moderation feature.
• Removed the unused Patreon alternative licensing system.
• Updated the plugin's online documentation.
• Corrected an UltimateStatistics cps-counter null-pointer console error.

Logs:

• Corrected the Spartan menu description of the Legitimate-Players feature.
• Corrected the Spartan menu description of the Reports-Menu feature.
• Corrected a bug where you could take items of the Reports-Menu feature inventory menu.
• Corrected an old server-version Spartan inventory-menu no-such-field console error.
• Corrected an old server-version Syn inventory-menu no-such-field console error.

News:

• Under customer request, a new API method was presented and thought of being added. Eventually, it and a few others were created and are documented below. Old API versions will still work as expected.

Logs:

Pastebin.com is currently down and my services heavily depend on it. I corrected the Piracy protection and prevented it from malfunctioning, ultimately causing the plugin to disable.
