Writing Notes - Add [nocopy] and [readonce] option

Hi,

As I'm trying to drive a note-selling and information-based roleplay on my current character I realized that
The currently existing system of notes writing does not support this mechanically.

So I have a suggestion to add two options to writing notes on the game which would add up very nice possibilities for any kind of information/spying based RP.

First:
Add a possibility to mark a note with a [nocopy] tag during its creation Or by using a Quill item on a note you are an owner off.

The tag would block the possibility of making a simple copy of the note by targeting it at an empty piece of paper.

If you use your [nocopy] message on message board, the tag is removed.

Second:
Add a possibility to mark a note with a [readonce] tag.

Making the message auto-destruct after it was read once. The tag would also block copying to an empty paper piece.
Also the same as above if you use such tagged note on a message board the tag is removed.

Those [readonce] and [nocopy] papers could be even set to be generated only by crafting which could further add up to RP and promote crafter-client relationship

Rejected.

Notes should be able to be read by anyone who gets it, people should still be able to make copies. It would be odd that you can stop a copy.

What would be nice is a forgery system on the side.
