Introduction to the SRL Forums
IntroductionWith 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.
Welcome 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.

Becoming an Asset
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.
Here's Some threads that can help you in becoming a contributing member of the Forums.Synergy - The interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.

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 Members
It 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.
