Was Precision and Stacker fixed to where it can't crash servers?

I'm just wondering because I've noticed a bunch of servers enable it now.
I like to block all the build tools on my server.
Strict RP only!

See, I don't want to do that, I was just wondering if like it can still crash servers or what.
Stacker can always abused as anticipated.
For precision though, I'm not exactly sure.
I haven't personally had any reported crashes caused by it.

This is one of the most stupidest things I have read, I would just join another server.
While I do agree that it's a bit of a money hungry thing to do, people do what they have to do :)
I would have at least made it member only if I ever ran a server.

Given the nature of the Stacker tool, it's difficult trying to eliminate crashes without breaking its basic functionality.
I've rewritten Stacker, which you can find in the link in the post above. It's still possible to crash servers with it, but I've tried to include several methods to at least slow down users with malicious intent. E.g., you can set a delay in seconds between each stack (left-click), a maximum number of props that can be created per stack (left-click), and a maximum number of stacked props overall (full list of cvars [url=https://github.com/Mista-Tea/improved-stacker/blob/af0cff715b22e2553f3e1966864dbf37555a70bb/lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/stacker.lua#L170-L179]here[/url] and [url=https://github.com/Mista-Tea/improved-stacker/blob/af0cff715b22e2553f3e1966864dbf37555a70bb/lua/weapons/gmod_tool/stools/stacker.lua#L40-L49]here[/url]).
It's not perfect, but I'm still in the process of trying other solutions to prevent crashes.
