ElyssiaMC - A New Kind of Minecraft.

Even if we used Lockette, we would not allow mayors to use /plot clear on the scale you are suggesting. This is due to abuse of the mechanic being open allowing for Town mayors being able to scam players.

Example of the process in your scenario:
Mayor sets up town with purpose of scamming -> Mayor invites players -> Players arrive and use chests -> Mayor kicks player out and uses ./plot clear and has full access to players items now.

In this scenario, it does not matter what lock system we are using, if they are able to gain access to or destroy the chests, the mayor is capable of scamming / trolling on a large scale without regard for our rules.

Towny has some flaws in its mechanics (mayors abusing jails, mayors being able to setup scammy tax rates, mayors being able to steal from their citizens), therefore we disable or limit many of these mechanics in order to ensure fair gameplay within our server.

Our Staff work every day deciding whether or not a Chest Unlock is appropriate to minimize scamming and unfair usage of chest unlocks. Our server features a ticket system that allow players to leave requests for staff. Most chest unlocks occur within 24 hours after a ticket request is made.

We hope you understand our reasoning for our decisions and wish you luck in finding your ideal server.
