TBH I don't see how this actually qualifies as plagiarism. But I see why everyone else thinks that.
As far as I see, it breaks a rule. But that rule is not the one about plagiarism.
KeepBotting: Goku does something against the rules, you do something felonious. And I don't believe this thread of his is enough information to consider Goku123 a thief. I think he was just trying to modify the script, and possibly learn something about scripting in the process.

when you post the full code on a Open Source Website in a form post especially a Woodcutting Script the most basic form of Bot for runescape when there are thousands of Simba and Java Scripts out there for this skill, and the most common form of Script for people to learn from there is something in Plagiarism called "Fair Use".
Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use.
If the copy is used for teaching at a non-profit institution, distributed without charge, and made by a teacher or students acting individually, then the copy is more likely to be considered as fair use. In addition, an interpretation of fair use is more likely if the copy was made spontaneously, for temporary use, not as part of an "anthology" and not as an institutional requirement or suggestion.

1. This is a Non Profit Institution.
2. The original Script was distributed without charge
3. I am considered a Student asking a Simple Fucking question here to learn
4. This was for Temporary use HOW AM I TO LEARN IF I DON'T POST THE WHOLE MODIFY SCRIPT ESPECIALLY IF I DONT KNOW WHAT OR WHERE THE PROBLEM IS?
Plagiarism is defined in dictionaries as the "wrongful appropriation," "close imitation," or "purloining and publication" of another author's "language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions," and the representation of them as one's own original work. I NEVER CLAIMED THIS SCRIPT WAS ORIGINAL MINE AND I WAS TRYING TO FUCKING LEARN ABOUT SOMETHING. Hopefully i taught you all about Fair Use
non-错. Has made two more 顶 has made two more Ah Ah has made two more Has made two more has made two more has made two more has made two more Ah Ah has made two more has made two more
Is this what that means from Japanese to English Translator?
I am generally a well behaved person on forums and dont strike out against other members but in this case i felt it was necessary especially when he threatened to Murder me in a Previous post before this.

Wow really, that was the most unfair thing ever.
He's learning, is he selling the script? NO. Is he RELEASING the script? NO.
There is no point to that infraction. KeepBotting, he's learning to code, why be a "insert expletive here" over it?

I can see why keepbotting is mad at you, you plagiarised. You probably plagiarised because his script works so nice, but when you modified without permission AND posted on SRL forums- you probably crossed the line. A lot of members have called you out on this, just apologize and get it over with.
+ have the thread removed by a mod.
Yes i modified it. I didn't release it as i was asking a question. So its not plagiarism. Plagiarism is taking his script and posting it in the Woodcutting forum section and claiming it as your own. WHICH I NEVER CLAIMED IT WAS MINE AND STILL DON'T. People were putting words in my mouth claiming that i stole the script when in fact i was trying to learn from it. I never crossed a line as it was a question with no ill intent
I agree with Sin, you guys are overreacting:
- A noob (no offence) join this forum and tries to learn how to script.
- He find an example (aka the script of someone else) and tries to modify it to make it work like he want.
- He can't make it work.
- He ask for help, but post in the wrong forum.
- Sh*tstorm begin.
He's trying to learn. I too did that to learn how things work. Copy paste some function see how they work.. what happen when you remove that line.. or add that instead, change that number, add a variable etc.
Just relax.
My scripts:
Advanced Barb Agility Course(outdated), MonkeyThieverV0.11, MahoganyTableV0.4(outdated)
Questions? I bet that for 98% of those, you'll find answer HERE
Someone should just close this flame-war of a thread tbh.
It was dead, you revived it.
On topic, I believe that people should be allowed to "steal" other peoples scripts and use the functions, BUT they should give people credit. Main way to learn things is to have examples shown for you right? Like sin said, Killing the sapling before it grows.
Use someone else's code, Change it around, but still give them credit.
Bored of playing rs, and bored of botting it, why am i here?
