Dear DarkstaR, moderators and XenoBot community,
1) Recently we at SolidScripts and more people have noticed our scripts being shared amongs users and even * on XenoBot. Some people considered 'trusted' or that somewhat have a more responsible state have even proven to share our scripts and even taunt us with it since we can do nothing about it. This has become a huge problem for us, especially as we have a quite big rework ready to be released, but we can't do it because we know what will happen.
We thank our loyal customers that do buy their own scripts instead of sharing them, and we do not thank moderators/higher standard users that do share our scripts (some even on their own website) and taunt us with it.
2) We have been asking @DarkstaR for a long time for method to within XenoBot user-lock our scripts without any response. What do you other * think (except from those who are already sharing our works), is it reasonable only one script team should have access to such method? Would it be reasonable that other script services could also use this method in order to maintain the developing of XenoBot scripts and the inspiration to push this bot further? As mentioned before we have a pretty big update almost ready, but we feel very de-motivated releasing it in this state of XenoBot.
We will not and can not keep on developing good quality when we know that sharing is a big problem, especially when we know how easy it is to fix it. One could argue we should fix our own user-lock method, we believe that the only real protection could be through XenoBot. We've been offering to write the algorithm ourself for DarkstaR just to add it, but yet again we have not recieved any message back.
3) We now ask the community's input on this matter, both users' and moderators' and of course DarkstaR's input. If we got access to such lock-system we would be able to push this release, improving the scripts quality and pushing the bot further. We would even be willing (for the community) to lower the prices of each script so more would have the ability to bot properly with XenoBot.
WindBot 3.0 is on the horizon and XenoBot has lately been lacking improvements or listening to the voice of the community or the scripters who actually push this bot forward. This is no offense to you DarkstaR, we know you have a lot going on outside XenoBot, but we simply care about XenoBot. What's going to happen if all scripters get de-motivated due to people and even * sharing their scripts? There is an alternative platform where all script services are equal and there will soon be a 3.0 version of that bot. Listening to the scripters suggestions in how to make better scripts for the users is of our point essential.
Yet again this is merely a friendly suggestion for us to keep motivated, for the users to have reliable scripts to use with the bot, and for XenoBot to be developing further. We know there are more scripting services out there, and we really want to make the scripting service market equal in order to push the bot further. Fair competition is good for the developing.
Community, moderators, users: What is your input? Would you want to see user-lock as a motivation for scripters to make more advanced and stable scripts? Do you think this should be available only for DarkstaR's own scripting service or for all scripting services that applies for it? Do you think an equal competition amongs scripters are good for the bot, or do you rather want the polarized option where one have monopoly, de-motivating the others?
This petition was written and applied by:
Sincerely,
SolidScripts.
