Ok so I've been given some replacement files for EE2 which fix a few things including logging and interaction with protected regions for all the DM & RM tools except hoe's and the katar (because it has hoe functionality), but it means we face a difficult decision as enabling right-click would make them far too powerful to risk griefers logging in and getting hold of them within minutes / hours.
I've added a poll so you guys can help me decide but I need to reach a decision by Tuesday night ready for the downtime on Wednesday, so here's a bit more detail on the options;
1) Apply the fix but keep right-click disabled so that players of all ranks can continue to use them.
2) Apply the fix, enable right-click for RM tools only & unban Red Morning Star but restrict RM tools to Member+ rank or above. Keep DM tools as they are now.
3) Apply the fix, enable right-click for DM + RM tools & unban Red Morning Star but restrict DM tools to Member rank or above and RM tools to Member+ rank or above.
If the tools become restricted by rank they will be confiscated unless you store them in chests until you rank up, all confiscations are logged and I will replace any confiscated tools that are accidentally left in inventories etc due to the potentially short notice of the changes.

Scheduled Downtime Next Week
The testing of the new TekkitRestrict is going well, so far everything works as it should apart from a couple of small bugs I found which wont affect any functionality for players, the developer is aiming to fix these in another new version which will be released in the near future.
What fixes / changes I can confirm so far is the following;
Tank Cart glitch / dupe: working as expected, item will be unbanned for all ranks.
Project Table glitch / dupe: working as expected, item will be unbanned for Member+ or above.
There's likely to be some other changes as well, but I won't give any details until we've fully tested them on the live server just in case they don't work as expected.
We'll be updating the server to the new version on Wednesday 24th July, the server will go down at around 10 am (UK) for a full backup and will be whitelisted while we test the changes, we expect the server to reopen by 1 pm if all goes to plan.

Commands Page Updated
The Commands page of the site has been updated, many of the changes were just to tidy it up and include some variants however some commands have been removed and some new ones have been added, here's a brief summary of the changes:
/stack - has been officially added.
/hat - has been added for Member rank or above.
Most /region commands have been removed for VIPs, all the Protection Stones equivalent commands can now be used for your VIP region instead which are far simpler and easier to remember.
There have been significant changes to the flags available for players to set on their regions, these changes affect all ranks.
For more details check out the Commands page!
