Vespasian

Hi, Getting into the botting community has been something I've wanted to do for many years, however I've only just decided to do it. I'm an experienced Java programmer with a computer science degree. I was wondering whether anybody could let me know about any things I should know before beginning writing large scripts, i.e. antibans, general rules of thumb, etc. Would it be advisible to begin writing some scripts for people? What are some important discords for the community? Thanks in advance
