As copied from the dev.bukkit.org page:

My understanding of the limit system in PreciousStones (as on the wiki) is that you can create groups that can place certain Pstones (and certain amounts of those Pstones).

But the problem is, when considering the fact that Pstones placed don't deactivate (even the player who placed them lost permission to place them), it is possible for this to occur:

PlayerA is in GroupA which can place 3 God Stones. PlayerA places 3 God Stones, then switches permission groups (I run a permission based class system) to GroupB, which can place 3 Shocker [stones]. PlayerA places 3 Shocker stones, and while he doesn't have permission to place God Stones, he now has 3 active shocker stones and 3 active god stones.

If there was an (optional) per-player limit in the config, (set to 3 in this example) PlayerA would have to destroy some of his God Stones before he could place any Shocker stones. While it's not a completely perfect solution, it's simple and would prevent hoarding of Pstones.

I know this isn't a feature the majority of Pstone users need, but I think it might be a nice optional setting which would add a little more configurability to the plugin.

(Of course, please correct me if I'm wrong and this feature already exists/the same desired effect can be achieved differently)
