SRL Archive - Discussions & Debates

I don't know, what does anyone think about this? It would be a GREAT idea.

If you vote no, and do not give a statement, your vote will NOT count.

They had it before and I never understood why they got rid of it TBH. Besides now there are many more learning scripters and scripts available.

It should be brought back, will help control the masses.

I am not a Junior Member and I did vote yes. My reason, Junior Member are people that have been promoted as a part of this Community, so they do deserve to have their own forum too :-)

Thanks Nemisis,m Still the great guy that I remembered :)

I think it would be great, would help people to aspire to Junior Member.

Yep, good idea. I wasn't around when there was a junior member section (or at-least I don't think I was), but I don't see why such a thing would be removed.

I believe it should be brought back, as well as their own script section. They deserve it just as much as we do. Having exclusives to those that completely leech versus people that have knowledge of SRL is fair, at a Jr. Member level.

When it was around, I believe it controlled a good amount of the leaching.

That it did.

Why was it taken away?

From: XxX Toxin XxX
That it did.

It will control the leeching, I believe people should be ranked depending how their scripting knowledge is, apply for membership, there will be two categories, when they rate your stuff they will decide whether you need more knowledge, but you are still good, they will put you as a junior app.

And btw, I live like 30 mins from waterloo :p

Don't worry I presume it'll come back shortly, due to influx of jr members and the want for the section. And cool, I'm studying there. Pretty boring place if you ask me.

I believe because no more need for it as there were no more active jr. members, only Members and SSRL were around.

Voted yes. I think it's a nice idea

Awesome idea! I could finally release a script or two that I don't want to get leeched hardcore

I think it would benefit the SRL community as a whole to stop leechers or goldfarmers on a new scale

I would love it if there was a junior member script section, it would take care of the leaches some. I grow tired of people with 1-5 post counts complianing a script does not work when they have not taken the time to A. set it up right, or B. read what some of the issues are. It could be nice having a layout on the front page under the quick links section such as: Public scripts, Junior Members Script, Ect…

I think if we left the JR Member reqs as they are now, then added the JR section back, it would help a lot.

so 30/30 nice :)

100% agree, I believe that if a junior members section was added, the SRL-Members rank would not be thought of, by some people, as just something to get in order to obtain new scripts. Rather it would return to being what it was always meant to be, a community rank that displays the persons outstanding scripting ability and their dedication to the SRL community.

Edit: I believe that as far as the requirements for junior members go, it should be 100 (useful) posts, not just one hundred. You'd end up getting leechers that just go round to like every script with posts such as 'Nice Script' or 'I agree'. Possibly even adding a requirement of mediocre knowledge of scripting (possibly at least one working script release..? )

It would stop new members from just applying to get the script. It would restore members rank to a community rank. =D Yay

Approved by Kingarabian!

That means you have to do it Markus!

I voted yes. I was sad to see Jr member section was gone when I came back.

Not count for what? This poll will probably go nowhere so what's the point.

The section got removed as the admins didn't see the point in having it.

I still don't >..>, Just strive to become a Member?

It would help to sort out all the leechers by giving us Jr Members our section back.

Yup, the vote will still count. I voted no.

There is a point to this.

First and foremost, this proposition will give us, the current Junior Members, a sense of unity in forming part of a large group who can come together with new ideas and aim to achieve the rank of SRL-Member.

It would also increase the prestige of SRL Members, who may feel intellectually responsible for instructing their "Juniors." In turn, Members will seek to reach out to us juniors, get to know us better, distinguish us from fellow leechers, and strengthen the frail bond between these two groups, Members and Juniors.

Most importantly, the implementation of a Junior Member's section will rebuild the lost or even non-existent feeling of pride and accomplishment for Junior Members, who would like to see themselves as active and recognized members of this community. It will give Junior Members something to look forward to and in this way motivate non-Juniors to truly become active in this online family and seek to contribute to the community .

And no, the votes will not count if you do not explain why you voted "no" I made time to make this thread, and if you can't even explain why you voted no on the poll, then it should not be counted.

You can't decide that…;) The poll show what people think, and you can't interfere with that, no matter how much you are against us saying "no". If your logic were to work, the world would be a horrible place. And also, then you'd have to remove 30+ of the yes votes due to all the leechers not elaborating why they want the section.

Technically none of the votes count as we've already been discussing this for a while now in staff section.

There are a number of changes coming up that we are trying to coordinate to release at all the same time.

Thank-you

Even if the votes don't matter…. I still think this would be a good idea becasue Then people I feel would have more to work up for and like previously stated it WOULD reduce leeching. Hope someone decides something ;)

The way i see it is Jr. members are people that the higher ranked community has accepted and believes they have the potential to bring out some great things and most importantly develop their skills instead of just leeching. So YES there should be a junior members sections in my opinion.

I agree with you 100%. It helps people like me strive to become more affiliated with the forum.

i also agree there should be a junior members section, for one it can have scripts like members have (not saying the same scripts, but lets say you want to release a script but not for the public, but for the true community, this way you have 1 more than just members or private), second it will make members be interested with their juniors and help them improve, and help them get that member status

since i cam to the community i have been learning, helping with what i know and being a community kinda guy

Note we believe every user has the potential. Junior members are just users who have proven themselves to be a asset to the community by either a certain postcount and longevity or by being voted in by the higher boards.

Precisely, which is why they should formally be accepted and recognized as an active group.

i think the efforts of jr members should be recognized too, it will also prevent leeching

I enjoyed the junior member section back in 2007-08. In my opinion there were a lot less leachers due to the fact that the public scripts at the time were basically made to weed out the leacher's. They all needed work or had terrible antiban. While the junior member scripts were better, they still didn't live up to member scripts. Allowing jr members to strive and work harder to be member's and give the forum an opportunity to weed out leacher's due to having to put effort in to become a Jr. Member. I was dissapointed to have put so much effort and scripting in year's ago, to come back and basically be considered a leacher. This is just my opinion however.

I came back to this forum when I heard about simba as I got excited because I wanted to start scripting again but I was very sad to see they took out our section.. :( Bring it back

It is a good idea, I voted yes. More people would want to be junior member. Junior members use to be people who has contributed to the forums so this would be a good compensation for them :D

I think it's a great idea to bring it back, hopefully Hobbits post means they are :)

Voted yes. Good way to keep out the leeches.

I think it is a very good idea but….

It would greatly reduce the quality of our public scripts. This would give visitors an impression that Simba is crappy and thus reduce the number of people actually joining this forum or staying active.

The last thing we want is people who don't contribute and leech.

From: Yago

This is true, however I assume most people were leeches at one point. Most people usually begin learning to script when they realize how useful it could be to have their own scripts that benefit them. If the public scripts are crappy, wouldn't that just push more people to other sites, and ultimately lose people who would learn to script and contribute eventually?

We will have a free script section we will allow leeching, and a juniormember section, followed by SRL, followed by SSRL, followed by SRL Dev.

Any news or progress on having a Jr. Member Section? Hopefully update is soon

Indeed, if you have one out. We could all have a more enjoyable summer of botting!

I voted yes because it will reduce leechers and it maybe will motivate people (like me) to become more active and to start scripting (i would love to know how to script but i haven't got so much time atm)

I voted yes, it's a good idea for many reasons that have been mentioned.

I actually remember the old days when it was like that when I joined SRL way back in 2007 lol.

Bring it back!!!! :p

Although 'back in the day' it was pretty useless as all you needed was 1 week of activity and I think it was 10 useful posts (a proggy counted as a useful post) then you were in.

~Caotom

I voted for yes, because i think we are getting lots of new people every day. They are a part of our community and deserve their own section.

also

From: Kyle Undefined

If there was a junior members section, do you reckon many of them would come back to the public section to give feedback. I just reckon the public section would be filled of leeches, who don't help out people trying to start off.

Script feedback that is…

I voted yes, junior member should have their own section like before, it was great and control the amount of leecher.

I'm planning to become a Jr Member very soon, so of course there should be a JR members section! :) Have intermediate scripts there, and flawless ones in members+… that way the JRs have lots to look forward to, but the registered users (like me) have something to strive for as well. win win or am I wrong?

What is with this whole 'flawless should be members only' concept. Of course not. A script should be built to be 'flawless', if it can reach 6 hours without a script break (this excludes randoms) then it's 'flawless'. Many of the scripts in the public section meet this criteria, honestly there are a lot of people who view the members section as the holy grail of script, it really just contains mostly gold farming scripts that would crash prices if released to public.

I honestly can't figure out why people believe that the only 'flawless' scripts we have are confined to the members+ section.

EDIT: hi5 for 300th post.

No it doesn't, where did you get that idea from? Are there some money makers in there? Sure, but there is only a handful out of all the scripts.

It must just be common misconception that members plus is the gold at the end of the rainbow :spot: I personally think it would have the better scripts because members don't want leachers, and members are members because they can script = better scripts. I will be with you members soon :garfield:

Members are 1337 :)
Junior Members are leet too :)

What are the requirements for Srl Junior Member?

activity and time.

Although it wouldn't be bad to have them make a power miner or something :)

No, I've never made a RuneScape script and I'm a JR Member.

Junior members really should have there own section. They haveshown they are valuable members of the community, just by attaining the rank, and should be able to see some kind of benefit.

While I agree that JR Members should have their own section, I have to say that the only thing you have to do to become a JR Member is post a few times a day.

Even that may ne a little too much to ask, as many people use library computers or others that are not at home. They wont be posting everyday, or even most days,but they can still be valuable

It motivates everyone to try hard on learning, creating, and helping the community out. as far as i know, it does to me.

Scripters need users, and the active proggy posters are a help and should also benefit ;) you need a script to become a member.not a junior mem:)
