Hi!

A major issue with protected items is that they tend to build up on larger servers... even with an up front cost, eventually there are hundreds of old chests owned by players that no longer play on the server. On servers with hundreds to thousands of users, there's no way for admins to manually maintain them.

If there were an option to charge an ongoing fee for each protection used, eventually old players that haven't been on the server would run out of funding, and the protection would be removed. This would then allow other players to remove the chest, reclaim the land, and participate in some fun treasure hunting as they come across them, while providing a means to automatically prune the server of old protections.

A configurable fee, collected regularly at a configurable time, where if the player hasn't enough funds their protections are removed, would go a long way toward helping server owners keep their servers clean!

Thanks for considering!
