    Runescape botting. Back when RSBot worked, omg b4 bot ban. The game was infested with tons, and tons of bots. Draynor willows had like 20-30 bots there ALL THE TIME. I just don't want Simba to become a new RSBOT. That would be terrible. Then Runescape would target Simba, look at scripts more, and try to bring them down more maybe.

    Its totally up to the script maker where the script goes. If the scripter doesn't want his script to be public because he feels it might be abused that's his choice. The scripter might also feel that since hes a scripter he doesn't want freebies to get the script, just people that script, help simba, and are on the forums. Its a preference thing. Anti-leeching, since its that persons script IT IS TOTALLY THEIR CHOICE PERIOD, you didn't make it you don't have a choice, if they feel they want to put this awesome script in public scripts section but throw in a wrench they can.

    Possible Reasons:

    If someone actually plays Runescape eventually gets bored, or wants to bot it. Its just a game. They don't have to play/bot it. Unless they really want to. If they do really want to, they can learn how. They have to learn how so, this forum stays a little active, scripters get support, and etc.

    A true leecher is someone who just gets Simba working, then uses scripts. No forum input, etc. Since Simba has to be setup, scripts sometimes have problems, and nothing is totally straight forward ( ex: PowerBot download button ). This makes it so leeching is a bit harder. So a regular game player, can't just get on here hit download then immediately start botting. They have to learn HOW.

    This makes it so the people who want to bot runescape stay here longer. Which is probably what scripters/programmers want since they put (x) amount of time into making stuff in order to do this. I typed too much owell. </rant>

    EDIT: ALSO just looked at runescape script section says 80 viewing. Just goes to show why some put anti-leeching things in their scripts.

    Simba Code:
    const
    LEECH = True;

    begin
    if(LEECH) TerminateScript;
    end;

    Simple as that. Also I believe it should be up to scripter

    I'm new to the community and I think that people are milking out the people that are putting effort in something. People that want to learn should get permission and people that use the scripts and don't even leave a thanks should not even have permission to those scripts. But hey, that's just my opinion.

However, if all that anyone who first joins has access to are scripts that are outdated/dont work, they will just move on, and very few (if any) will see the full potential that simba offers for RS and other stuff.
    Underlined is what I was trying to point out. As for the second part of that, they don't need to be outdated just be very simple scripts to see the inner workings or something like what RiD has for free like a power miner that works so they can read the code and see how it all goes together.

    That's the biggest problems, people won't even sign up now to use the bot since they don't have to. Putting a 50-100 post count in place to keep leechers out would make new members become active in the forum and see how things run, plus perhaps make some new friends. Could easily make them more likely to stick with Simba and stay active.

    Me and him have the same join date month, if new members notice to have the potential to be abused and take advantage of the work the script makers do put into these scripts,why do the members see it as no big deal? These Guests do nothing to help out here and if they haven't by the time they have started using it, chances are they never will. Even with registration was required the SAME thing would happen except they have a username instead of a Guest title. Requiring a post count would be perfect. Plus this is just asking for goldfarming to begin to take hold again. I don't know about everyone else, but I wasn't a fan of having 40 bald level 3 people standing beside a tree or other training spots stealing the experience. I do bot, but only one account not 10+ at a time. A lot of unwanted things could come from the leechers.

    I think that every bot MUST have a anti-leech ..
    Simba is infested of leecher that don't care about the community and do nothing for us, i think that the scripter must put some anti-leech for the work they did.
    Some people just take the script and don't thanks the scripter for his good work
    BTW, I HATE LEECHER, DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE =D
    YOU JUST CRASH THE FUCKING PRICE
    I think that just remove a word like ''function'' can stop so many leecher

    I don't think it is really required, but I suppose it's up to the scripter.



    The best way to contact me is by email, which you can find on my website: http://wizzup.org
    I also get email notifications of private messages, though.

    I agree, I feel that scripts that will be over leeched I just don't release.... but it is always up to the scripter and that is that. Its their code and whos to say they have to change it. Thats my opinion of this anyways

    tbh anti leech will only stop the truly lazy, 5 mins at looking up on Coh3n's tutorial and you can sort it out.

    gotta admit that Coh3n has helped me learn pretty much everything

    A leecher will never do this, he just will think that the script is broken. A leecher don't care, he just don't know how to use the search button so ..

    I personally do not like anti-leeches,I think they are a waste of time, it usually takes me 10 minutes to an hour to solve them, and yet I still can't write a good script. Even though I feel that way i'm not the person who is writing the scripts and allowing everyone to use it so just leave it up to the script writer to do what he/she wants

    I am not sure if anti-leech will do anything good. It makes simba community look a bit unfriendly. But i get the point and i agree totally with it. Many leechers only want to goldfarm or get the 99's and don't want to do anything to help the community. I want to learn how to script aswell(because it is awesome :P).
    I'd say that scripts that can possibly be harmfull for runescape('s economy) should be moved to members+. Isn't that a solution?(Probably the most strangest thing you guys ever heard a leecher say xD)

    I think it depends on the script, the scripter, and how much time the scripter put into it. if they spent a long time in the script and its a script that isnt out much (say a script that makes huge amount of money or huge amounts of xp) then i dont even think it should be released to us registered users, only the bots that are slow xp or money and are just basic autos should be released to us registered users, and if not then it should have big anti-leech's so that we cant use them, unless we look up tuts and start participating (and i am being a hypocrite because i cant script will probably try again though it would be a cool thing to do)

    I say no, but I would be considered a leecher as all I do is grab a public and run it. I don't post on the forums with any info on how it runs unless it's an issue I think can be simplified [(i.e one scripts has you go from X {start} to Y back to X and if you start at Y you run to X run to Y and back to X) my suggestion was just have Y as the start not X].

    I don't have the time nor do I want to learn to script, it's like another language and I had hard enough time learning German (English speaker here) and I'm botting to save me time remaking an account I've already had just tweaking the quest or prayer level.

    My biggest issue is I see more help for the simple fix shit than I do for the anti Leeches. You guys, as a community, are more willing to help some one who could fix their issues on their own with a google search and 30 seconds of time, than you are willing to help someone trying to get past the anti leaches.

    I should note the simple things I'm talking about are covered in the "Setting up simba & SRL" or are in the "SRL frequently asked questions." I only know this because I've run into all the simple issues and fixed them instantly because I took the time to read the starting thread vs the kids who just download the program and expect it to be explained to them in the scripts thread.

    I'd focus on making those kids learn the absolute basics, because they seem like a greater issue to "leaching" than I see myself.

    People should be taught the basics which is VERY VERY available, and that should be anti-leech other than that if they want to continue learning is up to them.

    I have yet to see an anti-leech that isn't basic, besides for about 3 but they were for scripts that could possibly crash the economy so it is understandable.

    I think its mostly up to the scripter. I may be new but all of the anti-leach I've seen has been super easy. If possible, maybe just make the script section private so guests can't see that section, but they can see others. That way they have to register to use a script.

    First question, can people still download scripts on the site even if they are not registered?

    Anti-leeches should be left up to the scripter to decide if they want to add one to their script.

    This is a pointless thread because as long as scripts are not being paid for, scripters will always want to have the satisfaction of knowing that people are paying somehow to use the script whether it be anti-leech or one of those build-it-yourselfs.
