Please stop making stupid scripts that no one wants
like
Auto Hey or auto Sup or auto bla because
when you download Answering machine Plus
and you can do aaalll of that stuff in 1 script
i use it to shutdown my PC or MSN remotely or lock it and stuff from another PC
like receive: /Lock3522
answer: /Lock
3522 is a password so other people can't anoy me by locking my msn
but those are not the only people that make stupid stuff
there is worse
scripts thats totally useless and that don't work
no offense guys but we want scripts wa can USE or that are funny or something you have some use of
and like... blocking prank thingy
people will thing you are made at them because you always block them and they get angry and you 2 have a fight...
its been a long time sins i downloaded another script
please make useful scripts like:
SendTo,Convo Notifier,Enchanter,GroupBlocking,Key Flasher,Now Playing,Mute,Reminder+,Screenshot sender,ReadThis,ReduceMEM,Sign Backin,CountDown live,Uneed script, and more...
to all those people
thanks! because they made my WLM MUCH better
tho the other people
please try to make scripts that not is already been made or something that you can already do in another script
thx

I know what you are trying to say, but I think what you should be saying is that people should only submit quality scripts to the scripts database and tougher restrictions on those going in.  I still feel there should be scripts of a lower quality submitted to the forums for others to look at and give feedback so the people who make it can improve their skills.  We all have to start somewhere but there should be limits to what they are allowed.

yeah your right

Erm, I agree and disagree on different levels. What you seem to be suggesting is that everyone who isn't making a high quality script shouldn't script at all, when in fact people might like to re-create a script to learn stuff; the goal of writing a script isn't necessarily to make an amazing script everyone will want. However, I agree with the fact only the scripts that seem to be popular or a wanted script should be submitted to the database. The problem arrises i trying to define a quality script, or a script that performs a new feature. For example, taking a simple script idea and someone uses lots of text files with messy coding and ultimately it just works, then this script would be submitted because it performs a new function. However, then another person comes along and re-scripts this idea to a higher standard, is it fair to just discard the original script and effort the original scripter worked so hard on? It's a vague topic and frankly, I don't see a problem with the current system: just don't download the scripts you don't want, problem solved.

yeah ok your all right
you know what
NM
lock this

I think people should be free to release their works, as long as they don't cause damage to the user's computer (like a virus or something). But also, I think if you want your script in the Scripting Database, you should at least have spent time improving your script and fixing known bugs, so the quality of the script is assured.

In my opinion, releasing scripts is a bit like selling lemonade: if you want to sell lemonade, you can look up the receipt, make some and sell it in your street. But if you want to sell your lemonade to the big public, you better first check if the taste's good and isn't poisoned or something.
Whoa, in fact these things have a lot in common!

its good practice for people trying to learn to code. they're only showing others what they can do, even if they are crap =p other forum members can show them better ways/improving scripts that they make.

if you dont want it dont get it. simple as. but dont put down the peopl that are trying to learn how to do them.
you never know they come up with a really good script....

Blame the public, they should be voting for/against scripts properly and then you'll be able to tell which scripts are worth downloading and which are not. Also, the 'Coolpicks' category already exists for promoting unique or special scripts.

I disagree, people should be able to create what ever scripts they want. You don't start out by creating awesome scripts the first time. The people who are creating these "useless" script you speak of, might end up creating an awesome script that you can't live without. So don't download them if you don't want them, simple.

ppl can download whichever script they want... wide choice of selection..


people are different, they want different scripts....
everybody cannot be the same...

Heh... back in the days of Messenger Plus 2.6

they had like a few commands which sent text and once someone with msgplus recieved it, it would play a sound ("Heyaa...", "Mwahahahha" etc) and they had no purpose at all (they have now evolved into the popular soundclips), but they were the reason I got plus in the first place.


Not everyone is looking for good useful features.

Some people are just looking for a bit of entertainment while using messenger

Sometimes simple is better than complex.

(...)

the original script developer should have been advised to put it on the forum and ask for some guidance in how to improve it rather than instant submission because of it's uniqueness.
