Spartan AntiCheat & AntiExploit v4.0.8.8

Corrected a critical issue with the Cloud feature. Updating is incredibly recommended.

News:

• This update contains many improvements, corrections & optimisations, like all other regular updates. It was released prior to what I had originally planned due to the requirement to comply with a few SpigotMC rules/terms. More specifically, some off-platform content Spartan offers still exists but is no longer made known to a SpigotMC user in any way.

News:

• Spartan is very stable currently, with only 1 or 2 bypasses recently being discovered, which will be corrected in a future update.
