News:

• Implemented categories for the config.yml’s configuration punishments.

For more, read the plugin’s configuration section on the overview page.
• Important cache will no longer be cleared when a player exits the server, to maintain long term stability but also prevent false positives in specific reconnect situations. However, as expected cache will be permanently lost if the server is restarted or the plugin fully reloaded, and a new one will be created.
