Hello everybody!
Recently there have been some changes to how ranks work around here, and some discussion with what belongs on the SDN, so here are my recommendations of how it all should work:
Official Script Writer:
- There will be an official monthly poll in the contest section where 5 official script writers can be voted in.
- Only 5 users can have the rank at any given time. If you're not voted in again, you lose your rank.
- To apply to the contest, you will be judged by your name and your best script. For example, I could be judged for SuperScript Factory, or @XavierM could be judged for ATMercher.
- You need to be an official script writer to submit a paid script. If you lose your rank, your paid scripts will remain on the SDN, but you won't be able to submit any more.
SDN Scripts:
- To submit a script to the SDN, you must submit a programming resume as if it were a job. You need to show that you are an experienced programmer, and not just a beginner.
- The script must not only do one small task, it must do a large task, or various small tasks. This means that you can not submit an Edgeville yew chopper, but you will be able to submit an AIO Woodcutter.
- The script must be shown to run for over 72 hours straight. The SDN is for the best, and only the best.
- All SDN scripts must have a video demonstrating how the script works, along with a minimum of 5 screenshots.
- You must prove that there is a demand for the script if it's not already obvious. If there is already an AIO woodcutter that functions correctly, there is no need for your script. Please take a few minutes to innovate, OSBot really needs this.
Paid SDN Scripts:
- These scripts must follow all of the rules stated in the SDN Scripts section.
- As stated in the Official Script Writer section, you must be an Official Script Writer to submit any paid scripts.
- Paid scripts must be truly exceptional, please do not submit an AIO Tanner for $7.99/month.
- Paid scripts must have some sort of intelligent anti ban system.
- All paid scripts will get their own section, along with a support subsection, similar to SuperScript Factory's section. This will reduce frustration among paying script users.
Local Scripts:
- Local scripts are an important part of our community, so please don't spam our sections.
- All local scripts should be screened by moderators before the topic is posted. This will stop useless scripts from being posted.
- All local script writers must prove that their script has ran for a minimum of 24 hours straight.
- All local scripts must have a video demonstrating how their script works, along with a minimum of 3 screenshots.
- Official Script Writers should have the ability to remove broken scripts from the local scripts section as if they were moderators. Too often users are confused when their under updated scripts stop working.
Please share your opinion on what you think of my recommendations, I truly hope for an increase of quality scripts on OSBot.
