Welcome to "Anti-Leech"; The guide to rid yourself of your leeching habits
Please help spread the word by posting this thread on threads where leeching has occurred!
I wrote this thread because of: http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?p=890908
Q/A at bottom of thread.
Please take a few moments to identify yourself.
- Do you often find yourself ONLY checking the "Runescape Scripts section"?
- Do you have less than 5 posts and been here for a month+?
- Do 95% of your posts sound like this "This script is broke"?
- Have you tried to buy SRL members/A script made?
- Have you posted anything of value since you joined (Value as in other members can use it example: posting a guide.) (If yes GOOD, if No continue )
- Have you attempted scripting? (If yes GOOD, if No continue )
Sadly if you answered Yes to any of the first 4 questions and/or No to the last two question, you are unfortunately a leech. A parasite to SRL!
But fear not, with a little motivation you too can become a thriving member of SRL!
First thing is first; Why you want to change.
Being a parasite is not fun, people generally have a distaste towards you and will be hostile if you ask a question that could be answered elsewhere.

Posting
- Try to make all of your posts informative and useful
- One word posts are useless
- Post in the right section, if you want to talk about anything that you think/others will think is "dumb" please post in NOTA.
- If you have a problem, DESCRIBE What script/How you got encountered it/The debug Log
- Vulgar language is frowned upon; so please refrain.
- Grammar and Spelling are nice things to work on, they not only help you get the respect of Grammar Nazis but they also will help you in the real world.
- Nobody likes a "Block" of text, try to spread it apart
- Flaming is bad; so don't do it!
- Rep! If you enjoyed the script, used their script/Liked someones post etc. Rep them, even though it really has no official meaning who doesn't like getting complimented!
Scripting
- Can't Script, Tried and Failed? Don't give up, check out some video tutorials they are made for new comers and make the the daunting scripting task turn into an easier one.
- Learn the basics, EVERYONE can do this and with this knowledge you can solve most of your own problems.
- Tried and Tried but still failed? It is okay, scripting is not meant for everyone you can still be a valuable member to the SRL community. Post great posts, invite new comers, be yourself and enjoy yourself in the forums You will be a face people come to look forward to. (Note: SRL members requires a script, so you will have to learn eventually)
