ST | Leaderboards v1.0.7

This update fixes a major issue where leaderboard holograms could duplicate themselves repeatedly, causing excessive entity buildup and server lag over time. The hologram handling system has now been improved to properly prevent duplicated leaderboard displays from spawning.

Servers running ST Leaderboards should now experience much better stability and performance, especially on reloads or repeated leaderboard updates.

Thank you for the reports and feedback, the issue should now be fully resolved in this version.
