The staff reserve the right to interpret these rules any way they see fit. Staff may lock or remove topics and posts at their own discretion. They may also issue infractions to users as they see necessary for maintaining a positive community. Any disagreement with a staff member's decision is to be resolved through the use of the PM system. Any public disputes are to be avoided and are infractable at the staff's discretion. You have no rights and are entitled to nothing.
No LeechingSRL is for the beginner and the advanced, for the hobbyist and the semi-professional. We are an open and free community that believes in cooperative learning and sharing. This is only possible when we all participate together and do not leech. We encourage all our users to get involved and participate in our community. This does not necessarily mean that you have to be an amazing scripter. There are many other ways that you can still contribute to the community. A zero or spam filled post count and a hard drive stacked with good scripts is not an option here. The SRL Community has worked thousands of hours on this project and we are giving SRL out for free. All we ask in return is that you stay awhile and participate in our community.
BehaveAlthough the main focus of SRL is for scripting, we also like to have fun and debate over the ?Real Questions of Life?. You are free to talk about any other subject; however it must be within moral standards. Always remember that you should debate the topic, not the person. Speaking directly to the adolescent majority: don't do anything your parents wouldn?t want you to do here! Failing to stay within morality will lead to infractions or bans. In short, just behave!
Bannable OffensesThe SRL Staff retains the right to ban any user at any time for any reason and without question. However, you will be automatically permanently banned specifically for the following offences:
The SRL Staff retains the right to issue an infraction or warning to any user at any time for any reason and without question. You will receive an infraction for the following offenses:
Three infractions will result in a suspension. Six infractions will result in a permanent ban.
SRL Source CodeThe SRL-Library is free of charge and distributed under the [url=http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html]GPL v3[/url] license. All SRL Code may be edited, modified and copied as long as you credit properly and include the full source code. This means that you must refer to the original author of the material in the header of your Script and Function.
The above does not apply to any script other than MSI. The copyrights of an individually made script are held by the script author. You MUST get permission from the original script author to publicly edit, modify or post their scripts. Failure to do so is against SRL rules and you will be reprimanded accordingly at the staff's discretion.
Script RestrictionsScripts posted on the SRL forums must not contain any obfuscated code or be of a malicious nature in any way. If caught posting a password stealing script, you will be immediately banned.
Applying for SRL MembershipIn order to become SRL-Member, you will need to apply with a well written Simba script that demonstrates your competency with the SRL Library. The application form will create a polled thread allowing SRL Members to judge your abilities and vote yes or no on your application. You may only submit one application per month (4 Weeks) unless otherwise stated by a staff member. If you apply with a script that is not your own, your application will be immediately closed. You will then be punished as outlined under 'Plagiarism' in the 'Infractable Offences' section.

The SRL Staff has decided it is time that we need to clamp down some regulations. Some of you have already heard about them through hearsay but now they are official and will be upheld accordingly.
The new rules:
* Useful: Online progress reports, status reports, version checker, etc
* Not Useful: Adverstisements, click for cash, etc
* Strictly forbidden: Username, Password. Nicks are allowed.
* If you are unsure of a feature, ask staff.
We understand and if your script violates these regulations that you will need time to make alterations. We have set a deadline for these alterations to be done. If you fail to meet this deadline, you script may be temporarily removed and/or you may be infracted depending on your willingness to cooperate. Please read these rules carefully and post if you do not understand.
CheersWith every new encounter, you are evaluated and yet another person's impression of you is formed. These first impression can be nearly impossible to reverse or undo, making those first encounters extremely important, for they set the tone for all the relationships that follows.
IntroductionWelcome to the SRL forums. Your first steps into our forums are very important and set the mood for the rest of your time with us. In order set you up for success. I have made a list of guides that will help you make a good first impression.
The first step is knowing the rules. "What you can and can't do." Here's the guide wrote by our Leader himself.
The next step is knowing who you are talking to. You can tell a lot about people by their Ranks, Titles, and Cups.
Another helpful piece to know is the History of Runescape Cheating. Here it is written by Benland100.
Fitting InNext thing proper forum usage and etiquette. This is about how to not look stupid and piss a lot of people off. For help with this we have a few tutorials from various Writers.
We don't ask a lot of the New users of our scripts. It is in fact very easy to come in and become a useful and contributing Member of the forums. Making suggestions of things that you see could be improved. Testing out users script and providing Feedback. Meaning that while the script is running your watching to see what is does right and it does wrong. If the script messes up at some point then let the Maker know. If the script runs fine for you then Post a progress report. The more you put the better the scripts and script writers will get. The quote below shows the concept and definition for this process.
Synergy - The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.
Here's Some threads that can help you in becoming a contributing member of the Forums.
So now that you've started yourself right and are going in the right direction. What comes next? Learning to script. There are many resources available for learning to script. Here are a few:
If your having trouble Scripting then ask for help in the "Scripting help" Section. If you ask and still don't understand you can always ask for help on MSN in your Help thread or the School Thread. Remember we are a Worldwide Community we won't always have someone online. Don't get frustrated if it takes a little while to get help. We will help as soon as we are able.
Applying for MembersIt is better to create your script and publish it before applying for members. What will this help with. One is everything we talked about earlier >"FEEDBACK." The fellow Users of our great community will help you learn to script better and telling you places in which you can improve. Most times when they suggest some for you to learn they 'll have and guide that they will point you to. If not them look in the "Tutorial Island" Section. When SRL-Members and higher think your ready most times they will tell you to apply for membership. If this happens then you have a good chance that you'll get members on the first try. If you don't then don't be discouraged you'll get important feedback on how to Improve yourself from it and can apply again. Here are some tutorials that will help on your way to Members.
Closing RemarksAgain I'd like to say Welcome to the SRL forums. I hope you enjoy your time here. If you'd like to introduce yourself the Introduction thread here is the proper place to do it.
This is the rank below Junior Members. They have been registered for less then 3 months and/or posted less than 100 times. However, they have the same forum access privileges as Junior Members.
This is for users that have posted 30 posts or more and have been registered for at least 1 month (31 days). When users reach this milestone, then they can gain access to the Black Market when they have 300 posts and have been registered for at least 6 months.
This is for users that have proven their scripting abilities to be above average and have made a script that other members have voted on saying whether it is worthy of SRL Members. They have greater access to areas of the SRL forums, including their own SRL Member private section. Here, more help and better scripts can be found. If you would like a guide on what you need for an SRL Member worthy script then read this guide by Cazax
SRL members who show exceptional talent and who help out on the forums a lot are invited to be Senior SRL Members. They have their own private boards and are allowed to post suggestions about forum maintenance which the staff will take into consideration.
These are people that are developing SRL all the time to make scripting easier for you and you should also respect these users as you would admins. They have much greater access to the SRL forums, with their own private developers board. Here, SRL updates are discussed, and research is posted.
People who patrol the SRL forums looking for rule breakers. Be wary of these people! They have the ability to take actions against you if you break rules.
These are only for people who run SRL, there is no way to get this rank by making a good script (that I'm aware of). They have full access to the forums and can do pretty much anything with it, so watch out!
There's only 2 people that has this rank, WT-Fakawi and Dankness(retired). They are the ultimate most important people on SRL and they are the glue holding us all together :). They have the most access out of everyone and can do pretty much anything to the forums (so don't annoy them)
These are little symbols that appear under your name once you get them, there are many different ones and show that you are something special.
This is for the administrators of SRL (read above to find out about them)
This is sort of a downgraded admin (see above for more info)
This is for people who have helped SRL become better (read above for more info)
This is for SRL Developers that have also done work on Runescape Randoms, to stop our scripts looking botty
This is for the people who Maintain and Fix the Reflection include. This includes the updating of the Hooks every time Runescape updates. Which gives a lot of people the accuracy they like.
This is for those that contributed to the making, testing, fixing of Simba.
This is for people that have entered one of the SRL scripting competitions and have had some an amazing script that they have won it and have won something else that I am unaware of...
This is for people that have amazing scripting abilities, if you have the Competition cup then you will most likely have this one.
This is a bit like the SRL Master but not as good scripter, still quite impressive to have one though.
This is for people that have noticed people who are having trouble with scripting and have gone and helped them, and they have done this lots of times.
For people that have wrote tutorials for people less skilled than themselves
For those who have wrote Tutorials for SRL Wiki. SRL Wiki is temporarily unable to be added to.
For people that have posted useful comments to help fellow scripters on their way to greatness.
For users that have tested new SRL functions so that the SRL include can become always better
For people who have been registered to SRL for 2 years or more and are an SRL Member
Before people can become SRL members they have to post an application to get into members, and people with this cup/symbol vote on them very fairly and their vote is valued.
This is for people who contribute a lot to the SRL include.
For users that have contributed to the Community script MSI.
For those that have Violated the Black Market Rules bad enough to earn themselves the Cup.
For users that have proved themselves to be a bit on the stupid side, they have been annoying and acted like they want to be banned, but admins decide to give them this symbol to embarrass them instead. They can be given this permanently or have it taken away after a while. It depends on whether they act good enough to get normal membership back, or continue to be like they were.
This is an award for the best new registered user that has proven themselves to be the best new user. Admins vote who this should go to. Note: if you want this rank don't spam
This is the same as the village clown except it is for people that are lower than an SRL Member.
