Banless/Blockless Lag and Exploit Fixes for Tekkit Classic

[rcmaehl]

This topic contains ways to fix or at least stop-gap and limit the lag causing builds and items that players have on Tekkit Classic without banning items or blocking block placements. All fixes doable without plugins are italicized. These are only the ones I remember, I will be adding in the other fixes I implemented in my own server after I finish comparing my configuration files to the defaults. If you would like a way to fix an exploit/lag issue on your server, I should be able to supply a couple of ways to do so without banning/blocking that item/block, just post "How do I stop whatever is happening from (lagging/crashing/greifing) my server?" below.
