Title: Bots - The final word
Post by: optical on December 10, 2010, 10:46:03 pm
After much discussion with operators and admins, we have decided to outright ban bots from normal users. This means that guests, recruits and builders may not operate, nor own a bot.

If you use a bot, it will be banned immediately. If you continue to try use a bot, you will be banned.

Sorry if this inconveniences some of you, but we want people to create their constructions by themselves. It is after all, the whole point of the game.

Is the Fly/Speed Hack considered a bot?

You can ask someone with permission to use a bot to do it for you.

Seriously though, i don't see why people like bots so much. After making something i like the feeling that I created it, not something else.

Apij, you aren't allowed to use bot. i don't see why you need it either.. Here on this server we are mainly against the use of bots.

Ahh ok. I was looking at the People allowed bots page before this.

What i mean is, at this time, almost all ops use bots. It should be limited to a couple of ops again imo.

Well, those who are putting creations into the showcase should be allowed to use bots.

As someone already said: Build your creations with your own bloody sweat :3

I dug a cave without using any hacks, so it should be possible to make a cave with hacks but without bots. If you are lazy, thats your problem. Or do you think sculptor can say "hey buddies, make the block into something, i will do the details." this wont be considered as his own work, but the work of someone else.

I have one program from the mouse i bought and i dont know is it considered bot.
It can modlyfy all buttons on the mouse to make 1 multiplied action(example delete 5 block almost at once). I am posting this because if someone see me doing it it can think it is clicker bot, and i dont want any troubles so... Those are scrshots of the program.

Operators still need permission to use a bot for cuboids, but may freely use them for copy and paste.

So bots are used to build things FOR people? What kind of crap is that... I think the flying and speed hack helped out the creations enough... but a BOT? Really? Lazy!
