serveroption : disableRCsetattrs = bool

disableRCsetattrs = true/false

Disables the ability for external RC's(not scripted) to set player attributes. Why? So servers can implement their own custom(or use scripted RC) attribute editors without the worry of someone unknowingly using RC and clipping player's flags with the 255 char limit. Now, a nice solution would be just to not give anyone the right, but sometimes you'll have someone above you, like an owner, who is not a developer and thus may not understand the severity of such a bug.

The problem is external RC is going to be around for a long time, and so will the bug. As long as the bug is there this is a big worry for me, even if we take the proper measures to avoid it, it's just too much of a risk if you store important data in flags. I think the ability to disable external RC's from setting attributes would ease the worry for me, personally.
