Why is loading credsticks forbidden for staff?

luciensadi commented 7 years ago

Several questions here:

What is the rationale for banning? Possibly makes it harder to cheat by loading and giving credsticks with X nuyen on them?
Should certain staff be able to load credsticks?
How does this account for buying and manually financing a credstick as an imm?

As part of answering this question, I'm revisiting the logging around perform_give to ensure that it logs the value of things being given rather than just the name/item number. This is important for credsticks, parts, chips, and many other things that I'm probably forgetting, and is likely why giving credsticks was banned in the first place (no logging for how much was on the stick means 'oh, I gave that credstick as a 1k quest reward' was a valid avenue for giving your favorite mort billions of untraceable nuyen).

Added skeleton of logging in 6a2e8a9b20e322b1bb39b8234ff5029c24299c36.

Disabled credstick-load blocking in ddcde80f667fdc0ffee3535f0387a1af64da18ca. Reinstate this by uncommenting.
