Like my thread. I like them likes. Post a pic/gif that makes me laugh. Every one that makes me laugh, I'll like the post. After I give 5 likes, I'll send each a $2 voucher (one person can win multiple times). Once I give 5 likes, contest will be over. May the odds be ever in your favour. Let the games begin! Edit: I can give gp also instead.

Rofl? Look at the top 5 feed backed users, look at Pink Clay, look at Arctic who would have it if he had VIP+. The list of users who are verified and have not scammed outnumbers your little list by a long shot. You need to learn how to grow up and have a discussion without attempting to provoke an argument through pitiful insults. It gets quite annoying after awhile.

Abuse.

There should be some sort of application process for people to apply for to even get the Scripter rank, which allows them to put scripts on the SDN. From there I do agree scripts do need to be regulated heavier, as once great methods have now been destroyed due to free scripts. I do have a fix for that though, it's called INSTANCING.

User obviously can't read the rules, I made him very aware of them now.

No this isn't happening. It is for user groups who have power, scholar has 0 power, and is just like a regular member.

Done.

Mac users are usually ignorant. My dad, for example, complains that his 64gb HDD 512MB Ram netbook he bought over 10 years ago that it's slow (after it's been dropped, had water spilt on it and hasn't been turned off in the past 3 years). He says if he had a Mac that it would be fine, but he's only having this problem with his windows. He also has 'free super anti virus' and says it's the best thing possible and every other anti virus puts viruses on your laptop. He said he can't wait until he gets a Mac because then he will never get a virus and his laptop will never freeze. I every time he tells me this. He even sold my mom on that and now my mom wants a Mac...

Agreed! Bond trades are a max of $10 trades. Most of my fb is gold and I'm proud of it. Its pretty bs how some guy comes along selling $2-3 worth of bonds at a time and gets a shitload of feedback.

In this thread: OP just insults everyone who he doesn't agree with, using phrases like "go rethink what you just said" as his arguments.

We all know how a free market attracts only the best scriptwriters. Like the competency level of some writers is through the roof. Like here's a prime example: Like who has time to study low-level languages when Java is already "very complex"?

If the free script is made first, then why would you remove it if a premium script is made just like it? I agree on some points, but strongly disagree with others. Maybe make premium scripts have a minimum standard that you must be able to meet around the clock, but to flat out say "only some people should make scripts durrhurr". A community will never grow in a place where people are only considerate of themselves and of people at their skill level. I plan to release premium scripts in the future once I get better and learn more. The fact that I'm new shouldn't prevent me or others from being able to make scripts. tl;dr. Penalizing people due to them not being on the same skill level as you is stupid, especially if they're trying to learn.

Yea but a free market also sometime causes good scripts to be undersold by pieces of crap just due to price. Most consumers don't know even know how scripts are built, or what it takes to get one uploaded on the site, and perosnally think most consumers feel that the scripts on the SDN are safe; becasue "hey their on the "SDN", they must be good!". But what they don't know is that almost anyone can get a script on the SDN, and the money they are about to spend could be a big waste. I feel if someone is going to purchase something on the SDN I feel there should a be a sense of security, instead of blindly picking a script based on price alone which seems to be happening. I feel the scripts on the SDN should be regulated with some type of quality control check, to prevent writers from trying to make a quick buck and just skip learning how to actually program before trying to write a script, and profit off of it. tldr: Support.

Support. I think only a few select scripters' should be allowed to release premiums, i.e. those who have shown to contribute to the community for a certain time period etc. There is way too many premiums for nearly the same thing.

What the fuck?

No reason to insult anyone. It's in the rules 12 member list, took 5 minutes to dig up. All 100-199 FB that haven't scammed. Double your list. - 173 @Pink Clay - 142 @Timekeeper - 124 @Kaii - 100 @Justin (supremeleader) - 135 - 158 @Dan - 116 @Somic - 155 @Olaf (requested self ban) - 160 - 131 @Ricky - 177 @Mikasa - 103

says someone with ''trade with caution'' touché

yer i lift m8 look@that definition tl;dr: lid op nerf pls

I will definitely be open to someone making me a bad ass avatar with my current avatar implemented in it. ;) I would definitely need a new sig though.

Summoning: Maldesto, the OSBot God! ^ That's how title should be...

Can't quote on my phone but I'm up for this.

Smart idea man, I think players should get together and form bot teams. I want my testers running in a team with myself so you could show me how to improve the bot WHILE we're botting it as a team

pm me your skype bro, we can set something up ;) i'ma have a few bots here for it and shit too and what not, we could probably get our own world going or throw them into w358 xD

I didn't have an issue with this but the way your defending it makes me want to rethink everything. First off, verified is a pointless title given to people who do trades worth 2 to 3 dollars. It's pretty easy to sell bonds and get 25+ feedback in a day, I've seen it happen before. Scams are going to occur whether they're verified or not and I don't think raising the feedback to 200 will help. I wouldn't say 500 would help either. I think it would be a select few people who have really displayed a great attitude, and also great services on their time in osbot. Here I say, no person who sold bonds for majority of there feedback should be verified unless they have a lot high valued feedback also. Hypothetically, I would give BawsZ, Divica, and Probemas verified. Debate users like Cinnamon and Roomscape. An easy way we whole bond seller guy feedback farm is add another option to the feedback plugin. Add an option to put "Worth" in for the trade. It is a mandatory option, it will show how much gp was risked etc. I know there could be issues with it but I think it'd be better than a lot of other options.

I fully agree with NotoriousPP, Getting your script premium (Paid) is way too easy. Premium should be a place for high-quality work A simple vote system could solve a lot

The verified rank is for those 100+ You can't just make up a scenario and restrict it within 100-199 feedback. That's irrelevant and defeats the purpose of the rank; and yes, you're right. I am a moderator, but I'm not going to baby you and make you feel like you're the only user here. I'd rather criticize you here on an online forum then see you get in trouble by speaking to a person of higher authority such as your boss or parents in such a derogatory way. Anyways, let's stay on topic from here on I guess. :c

I tried to click the sound, I am disappointed now. ; ___ ;

Having used both types of monitors, the difference is noticeable, but I'd argue the difference in play is negligible for the vast majority.

Good luck

Didn't read the whole thing, because you are just crying like usual, but if you leave for two weeks send the admins a pm and let them know. Maybe respond on your thread more than once a month, you are selling your product to users and have no desire to help anyone who buys your script. No one should buy scripts from users that don't help anyone. Maldesto thought it was okay to take action because this is the 2nd time you went over 8+ days without logging in the forums once or even checking on your thread within 2 weeks. Sorry you want to bank all this money, yet not help one damn person.

Just making my presence known on @Ricky's thread again. That is all.
