Mayor's have access to logs of their town claims. Back

EXPLANATION
It can be very hard to track the exact amount of resources in your town, especially when it's big. And if you have nation and/or ally perms on in ur town, hundreds of people have access to alot of the chests in ur town.

EXAMPLE
When I was the mayor of my fort (Nishinohoshi), I had to call the mods on a multiple times a week basis to my town to check that the correct people took the supplies that are in chests (it was common for newbies to nick sets and xp as well as items suck as gunpowder,diamonds and steel). And half of the time it was the person who I allowed who took it and the other half it wasn't, but it still took up a large amount of the mods time.

CONCLUSION
If you implemented this, a mayor would be able to keep track of his items easier as well as prevent stealing and not waste a mods time.

REPLY TO THE ARGUMENTS YOU MIGHT SAY

Locking the chests:
I can't /lock the chests because many people may need access to them suddenly (for a siege), and I may not be able to come online and unlock the chests. It will also mean lots of people will need access to my locked chests which means they will also have access to chests of my personal items as well as areas with restricted access. Also most of the chests are nation resources (nation members can take them if they ask me and have a fair reason) meaning I'm OK with most people taking it, but sometimes they don't ask and take it for a dumb reason and I don't wanna remove everyone's access cause of them.

Pls consider it thanks for reading.

It sounds like a good idea from a player perspective, and superficially it may even seem it would reduce work for staff. But let me explain some issues with this that you might not have foreseen:

1. If players have access to storage and block logs, we will receive a lot more tickets about items being "stolen" which in reality are trifling offenses and a waste of time to deal with. Does it really matter if creeperfan2013 took 14 iron ingots from a chest? Most people will say no, but you can bet that's the kind of complaints we would receive.

2. The logs can be confusing and difficult to interpret. For example:

- When a craft is piloted and released, its blocks are shown as "broken" and "placed" by the pilot respectively, and likewise the items on the craft's chests are shown as "taken" and "added".

- Slimefun blocks and items are recorded as their vanilla items (e.g., an Electric Gold Pan is shown as Brown Terracotta)

The majority of people will struggle to understand this even if it is explained.

In addition to what Zaify mentioned, logs can be political. Some parts of the game that are supposed to be vague and opaque can be revealed through logs thus undermining a players ability to deceive and use subterfuge in their gameplay.
