    Thumbs down Reason why we Dont like leechers/Powerbot People

    http://www.powerbot.org/community/to...th-anti-leech/

    I Don't even think i need to say much, that sums it up. I mean seriously...Cant find the antileech in a 20 line script.

    This guy needs some SERIOUS help. And not with the antileech


    Lack of common sense kills me to see lol

    Well I get the point and all that, but you should also keep in mind that most powerbot users is very young, i've been a Moderator there twice and I can tell you this, I felt way too old for that community sometimes.

    He's right

    Its like teaching a community of old dogs, a new trick; those that came here from there will refuse to read/understand and instead demand

    Yeah true, I love to help people, and when people actually ask to for something help learning im more then glad to help them. But im not going to spoon feed them.

    Common sense> knowledge in my mind, If you apply common sense to most things in scripting once you learn the basicis, you are very well off.

    I've been a member since 09 on there and the trouble with pb is it had the potential to be a great community (i quite liked the buddy community because bullshit posted was at a minimum) but instead it just turned into one massive spam forum with no real control of what users post. If they started to infract/ban users more then maybe it'd be better but its probably to far gone now.

    personally i just buy what bot need and post to say thanks to the script writer and that's about it

    Which is pretty sad considering the amount of active users that forum has

    Not just that. Loop procedure was commented out trololol. IDGI why does he asks there instead of here? Our community is WAAAAY more helpful & friendly. I don't even check PB forums anymore. :P

    Because we wouldn't have straight up given it to him/her, we would have encouraged them to learn, and given them pointers in the right direction. Unfortunately, I doubt he/she would have ever taken the effort find out.

    When did it become that case that botters were leechers rather than programmers?

    I actually find it interesting when new users join. Of course, many users from our competitors are not interested in becoming a programmer. Maybe we should be more open to them, and just remove the anti leech from most scripts? We can't really expect everyone to become amazing at scripting. How odd would it be if other software introduced anti leech? Like, yeah you can use windows, but first you have to fix these obvious problems in the kernel! <- that would kinda suck.

    I think we shouldn't just look at what they are doing wrong. It might be beneficial for both if we can find a way more between us, instead of just drawing it on our side.

    The issue is accessibility, back when there was the 7 day/10 post limit, you didn't get many leechers, because they'd realise they had to wait and move on. Adding anti-leech is just the individual scripters way of preventing this. I'm sure if the user asked the scripter nicely how to fix the script, they'd happily give them a bit of advice as to what to look for.

    But do you expect them to fix these errors? It is of course the choice of the scripter. Maybe we should add the option for the scripter to set a minimum amount of posts for the download? Where spammers just get their post count reset.

    What you guys talking about? No1 in pb is helping him solve the anti-leech. Who cares anyways PB is going to be making a API for the 07 scape. These scripts arent gold-farming scripts I dont understand why so much greed is used with them... its rather a shame

    I believe for most people it's out of respect for the 07 game, they don't want to see bot's everywhere


    Programming is like trying keep a wall of shifting sand up, you fix one thing but somewhere else starts crumbling

    Those who can't program will find themselves woefully behind in the 21st century. Programming is a way of thinking, and those who aren't willing to persevere will suffer in the long-term.

    I'm a new member here, and I'm honestly glad for the Anti-Leech. I program in my spare time and at school, but I'm not familiar with SRL/Simba/Pascal (Not sure about the proper name) 's syntax.

    Looking through the code, everything is INCREDIBLY simply. For example, here's a snippet of code:

    if(P07_InvFull) then
    begin
    GoToBank;
    OpenBank1;
    BankLogs;
    GoToTrees;
    end;

    This shows what's happening in plain English. Solving the anti-leech in this code only requires you to a) Know the syntax and/or b) be able to follow the logic.

    The benefit of this is that would-be leechers are now equipped with the skills and knowledge to build and write their own scripts, in turn creating more productive members.

    It's a phenomenal system.

    Problem is when people add stupid anti leeches such as removes procedures and making user make their own DTM's. New users need to learn the difference between releasing a script with anti-leech and releasing a plain bad half written script

    RJJ, this isn't an attack at you, this is plain truth.

    You have had memory leaks etc in your scripts. I know it's annoying but to be fair making users make their own DTMs when you cause leaks etc isn't fair.
    Also with your comment

    New users need to learn the difference between releasing a script with anti-leech and releasing a plain bad half written script
    With regards to this, you haven't produced the best scripts and the anti-leech has been pretty bad, so on both accounts you've not done great for both your arguments.

    Just saying.

    Never said I released the best script? And no, making the users make their own DTM's is just stupid.
