Permissions

Notes

To make RankBot more efficient the ranking isn't done the moment the time requirement is met, this would require a timed event that would check all player times vs. all the RankBot Times. Instead, a player isn't ranked until the next logon.

The playertime.db file in the RankBot Folder contains the playtime of players (in minutes) since the file was written to disk, this file is only written from memory to the disk file on server stops or plugin reloads.
