Description

What feature do you want to see added?

a -b flag (and possibly a plots.backup.bypass or similar permission node) which will prevent plotsquared from automatically making a backup when you run a command like /plot delete or /plot clear

Are there any alternatives?

To reset a plot without making a backup you can use FAWE, however, for admins deleting laggy plots, this might not be viable.

Anything else?

Research direction

Start by tracing the automatic backup behavior invoked by /plot delete and /plot clear. Determine how the proposed -b flag and optional plots.backup.bypass permission should interact, then verify that the selected commands skip backups while normal behavior remains unchanged.
