Found a small bug with a fast fix.

When creating factions, if your faction name is exceedingly long, over 24 characters AFTER trimming, the SQL will silently fail as it is too big for the table's varchar(24).

Servers can patch this by modifying the SQL table from varchar(24) to varchar(255) or greater.

The fix for this is made in https://github.com/NutScript/NutScript/blob/1.2/gamemode/core/libs/sv_database.lua

by changing line 367 from
_faction VARCHAR(24) DEFAULT NULL COLLATE 'utf8mb4_general_ci',

to the following:
_faction VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL COLLATE 'utf8mb4_general_ci',

Huzzah!
