Pros:

- Provides many unique features and it would set OSBot apart from other forums

 

Cons:

- May cause spam for points (This can be easily handled although)

 

 

Eh. Im on the fence no.

Eh. Im on the fence no.

Please explain.

Wtf am I even looking at? 

 

Considering 99% of people come on here saying "I botted and I got banned, what did I do wrong" this shit looks way too complicated for the normal user. 

Please explain.

Im going purely off of a "if it aint broke dont fix it" stance. (Hence "on the fence")

 

The "no" part comes from a "begging" vibe revolving around:

 

Numbers Based Lottery system

Point loans

Welfare system

Donations system

Send Item to Other Members
