    I don't even use the scripts here and I feel like not allowing anti-leech is a massive step backwards! I have never written a script, and only really ever skimmed the guides so I don't know much about scripting, but I am sure that I could figure out most anti-leeches.

    But uhm.. What you just said wasn't even accurate. Leeching doesn't give better learning opportunities. Plus if all you're about is ruining the games economy then what's the point of all the work?

    Reading the comments on this topic just makes me miss the original scar and scar-scripts.com

    Good topic overall!

    i have always been sorta layed back on this topic. i think once i made an anti-leech for a script (my blk jack basher one) but after a day, i removed it. i see and understand why people would want to put anti-leeches in their scripts, but the more read these posts, the more i am liking the idea of the newly restructured scripts sections. personally i have always been a big fan of the jr mem section not afraid to bring that up whenever i can XD. anyway, this sounds really interesting, and even though i'm sure a lot of people will be saddened by the removal of anit-leech, i'm sure in the long run it will be better for the community. gj staff taking steps forward.

    With all due respect, Hobbit, that is a very crude representation of the way our members have been acting. As far as I've seen, the only accounts of hostility that have occurred have been sourced from the people complaining about the anti-leech in the first place. Are we really going to give in to the people who have been creating a more negative atmosphere here?
    I do find it quite insulting that you've claimed we've "lashed out" on these threads that have provided more and more negativity on the lower board. Personally, I've only witnessed insightful and encouraging posts, informing newer users of the way things are run around here. At times, we may have got heated in the discussions at hand, but it's only ever been as a tool to stand our ground against these newer users who purely wish to take from the community, and not give.
    However, I do understand I'm not the most active user, so if you can find some examples of where our members have lashed out at these newer members unjustifiably, then I shall concede. But, as it stands, I honestly feel this is all about giving in to the ragers.

    It is actually:

    Forming the Singular Possessive Form of Nouns

    A possessive noun shows that someone (or something) owns an item. In the simplest cases, an apostrophe and the letter 's' are added to the noun to show that ownership. Some examples are baby's, boy's, and army's.
    In this case, the economy belongs to the game, so it is the "game's economy". The quote is from www.spellingcity.com if you want to look there.

    Okay, I just want to get this question answered. Does Ashaman88 have to change anything in his LRC Miner script? Where anti leech is not an anti leech, you can select how you want it to work yourself.

    I don't believe he does because his script functions perfectly fine when you download it. The "anti-leech" is just for banking/superheating options which are completely optional and aren't necessary to run the script.

    My opinion matter because I'm new, but ever since I joined, I enjoy anti-leeches more than just having a script I can download and go. I've seen people saying things like "fix script bitch" to the OP, and I think It's unnecessary to have a community that includes members such as those. I can figure out most antileechs by reading tutorials, and I'm not overly smart. My take on this is to have the highly rated scripts have difficult antileechs (even for the owners of the scripts), and for the newer scripts to have easier ones.

    I believe this was already stated somewhere in the thread, however I can see why people are upset at removing the anti-leeches.

    I can see better why keeping anti-leeches out of the script would promote learning to those serious about it easier. When there is a good clean script released I download it, I read through the entire script seeing how they go about doing things. You don't get the "REMVE THE LEETCH, CNT yOu ReAD the RULES oP!? Fix Ur gaRbage ScrIpt" people and I get to learn how better to do things, so that I can better contribute to the community. By going crazy with anti-leechs you could possibly effectively troll me (i'm confident that I would see that something is wrong though ).

    All in all I feel like though the anti-leeches keep a lot of the internet turds in the toilet rather than on the carpet, however I think that it is easy to spot a leecher and I have confidence in the community that they will treat them like such. (not spoon feed them help)

    I like the idea of a lighter version of scripts if you believe your script would be abused. Such as a power leveling script that only banks if you change the code, ect. (Ex. Ashaman LRC)

    You can't do that. Anything purposely done to negatively affect the scripts performance is an anti leech.

    Banking would actually negatively affect the script's performance xp-wise lol. And banking isn't necessary for a script to run (unless it's a bank standing script of course). So Ashaman's LRC banking would still be allowed as it is.

    Wrong.

    Everything purposely changed in the script so it wouldn't work - anti leech.

    He didn't purposely do anything to negatively affect script's performance. It does more XP when dropping rather than banking.
    And dropping is a default option in the script. If you want to - you can change it. You don't have to fix not 1 mistake purposely done in the script. Because there are none. It's your choice whether you want to bank or drop, you just gotta change to banking option if you want to bank.

    The forum Rules:
    No Leeching
    SRL is for the beginner and the advanced, for the hobbyist and the semi-professional. We are an open and free community that believes in cooperative learning and sharing. This is only possible when we all participate together and do not leech. We encourage all our users to get involved and participate in our community. This does not necessarily mean that you have to be an amazing scripter. There are many other ways that you can still contribute to the community. A zero or spam filled post count and a hard drive stacked with good scripts is not an option here. The SRL Community has worked thousands of hours on this project and we are giving SRL out for free. All we ask in return is that you stay awhile and participate in our community.
    What is our idea of working on this if we entirely remove anti-leech? How do we enforce this otherwise?

    I have 2 srcipts that I've made from scratch myself, and I probably wouldn't have been able to learn all this without antileeches kicking me in the butt..
    Personally, I don't think spam and mass confusion is an acceptable excuse to prohibit antileeches.

    Anyway, I'm not releasing any of my scripts if I'm not allowed to put anti leeches.

    You can get a bit creative to prevent you script from getting abused... My chicken killer, for example, needs to be edited to unlock the feather collecting feature.
    That isn't a reason to not to release scripts. You can also ask for a script to be released in the members' section, and I think you can use its link to view the thread, even if it's in members.

    From my understanding, this would be how our forum (now) works (with anti-leech gone)

    Person(age: young): I wonder if there is a way to automate a task
    -> finds simba+script
    -> not frustrated, manages to get it working
    -> eventually (but probably not initially) gets interested in the how and why; the workings of scripts
    -> *learning* (yay)

    ^that I think would be the process of getting more people into programming with our wonderful community.

    No, that's not true.. There's anti leeches that drop your bank. An anti leech is something that negatively affects the performance purposely.

    I don't call mine anti-leech, I call it "A Challenge" script. You can use the out of the box script or you can fix challenge script for a nice reward.

    I bet if somebody's script would drop player's bank - the script would be long gone from SRL and the creator would be warned/banned. You can select to bank in Ashaman's script, you just need to find where. It's not an anti leech, dropping is an option by default.
