Just a quick note that we have a new policy on using scripts to do speedruns:

Don’t do it.

Okay, now that that’s been said, from now on if we catch you doing it, your account will be flagged as a cheater. This is the same as if you purchase cheats from us for BP, your account will be expelled from all competitive aspects of gameplay.

What if you want to use a script to pwn a forum but don’t have speeding in mind?

they get an epeen, bug gets fixed

Congratulations. You’ve just given people a reason to NOT want to report bugs/exploits.

What happened to rewarding those who willing helped make the game better?

Well, he said that “from now on” it’s verboted. What’s your idea of a good policy? Should anyone who reports a bug be allowed to use it in the future while other people can’t? Should bugs not be fixed, but those who first found them congratulated? I really don’t see what you could be looking for.

I’m not sure what such a script would do, but as long as it is cheating right now I guess that would be fine?

Like I don’t care if you use a script to make your toolbar bigger or something.

I’m pretty sure people generally know when they’re cheating. If you suspect you are, send me the script to evaluate.

Well he got the coveted Haxx E-Peen™, and we talked about it via Tubmail and I gave him geek cred.

I don’t know what else I could have done? Let him keep cheating forever, spread the script and ruin the leaderboards for everyone?

I mean, what if you wrote a script that auto-pwned forums, but didn’t want it to go fast, you just wanted it to pwn?

It would still be illegal but chances are you’d be unlikely to get caught using it.

The answer should logically be no, otherwise we might as well just have a ‘win forum’ bumon.

OK – here’s my Wiccapedia run as a Troll:

My question is, what’s wrong with scripting that? All it saves is me getting carpal tunnel syndrome – can’t see how that is cheating… whine, ****, mumble, grumble,

If they take anything other than a hard line, at any level, on automated scripting of ingame functions, they’d be making a mistake. I don’t want to play against bots, no matter what intentional flaws are designed into them, because someone will come along and remove those flaws.

The solution to that is not scripting, but making the forum pwning a more varied and interesting process. Like straight highways where drivers fall asleep, crash and kill themselves, vs bendy highways where they don’t (as much)
