Crew leaders can now tax their crew members automatically every 24 hours with a maximum of £5 a day fee pp into their crews bank.

• Crews can now set fees! (They can be set and toggled separately)
  • Crew leaders can use /crew fee set 5 To set a tax to automatically be taken from each member of the crew every 24h IRL time into their crew bank.
  • Crew fees are auto taken at noon each day, I assume 12:00 GMT (Will need to be checked and someone tell me)
  • Crews can set a fee and toggle if they want it to auto be taken using /crew toggle fee to check if its enabled/what it is, read the next bullet point:
  • You can check your crews fee by using /crew fee check All users.
  • I cant find a way to check a crews tax fee without being in the crew at present, I have requested it be part of /crew profile
  • Inactive crew members are purged for being inactive for 365 days (I have requested a purge of banned players)
  • A Bulletin board message will be added when a fee is changed, be aware leaders can clear BB messages now (as they did previous with empty blank messages)
  • If you cannot afford your fee, you will automatically be kicked out of the crew.
  • Crew fees are entirely optional to the crew, this will add a new dynamic to the economy and crews bank balances, pick your crew wisely!
• Crew BB messages now updated to show dates
• Gave crew leaders /crew bb clear to clear their Bulletin board messages (Clears for everyone in the crew!) You have to be Sailor+ to unlock this as a crew leader, as I just found out people have been spamming messages to hide their actions like Kicking members, best just have permission to clear it, this will fully wipe your crew BB history, sadly it only keeps the last 6 messages and a full history of crew actions is not kept (I have requested this) if we get that feature then I will remove clearing.
• Pirates are now required to be Sailor before they can /crew verify
• Next reboot (Tomorrow at 10:30am GMT) Crew homes will be shown on the Live map again! This will act as a way to show if they have been misused and will also show where crews main bases are automatically. There will be no added functionality like picking your flag or the message displayed (Yet).
• Admins can now demote crew leaders from any Crew, you can request a leader demotion by using the forums.
• /crew leave now asks for conformation (Yes/No) to be entered in chat.

• Added new missive “Yarr! Pirates be on the loose! Watch out for scammers and bounty hunters!”
• /motd is now Dynamically generated! I wrote a script to automatically pull the latest 4 blog posts & changelogs, and then it also shows Sticked posts in Competitions forum & also shows Super sticky threads around the whole forums:
  • This allows updates & changelogs to auto be shown in game
  • This allows you to read part of an update by hovering over the messages
  • This allows other staff members to post competitions, messages too!
  • It allows a staff member to Sticky or super sticky a post from anyone to have it shown in here too (If we need it to get attention).
  • I’m now forcing all users to run /motd once an hour, so you actually read changes.
• The head drop plugin is continuously breaking, it’s been removed until I can find a suitable replacement.
