Scripts

A script is a program that performs certain functions automatically. Thus scripts could be used to send automated telegrams, etc. To prevent abuse and spamming, SalusaSecondus has declared the following rules to be binding in regard to the use of scripts in NationStates.

1. No script may send unsolicited telegrams. (One reply message is permitted to a received telegram.)
2. No script may post regional messages without permission of the founder (or delegate if no founder exists).
3. No script may access the forums (i.e. any page with a URL starting with http://forums.jolt.co.uk/).
4. No script may kick or ban nations (unless controlled by the region's founder).
5. No script may be used to endorse or unendorse other nations.
6. No script may access the server excessively.¹
7. No script may create a nation.
8. No script may create a region.
9. Any Game Moderator, Admin, or Tech Modling may judge a script to be legal or illegal, separate from the above guidelines.

Notes

1. This will be at the discretion of the Admin, Tech Modling or Game Moderator who reviews the case. Previous draft guidlines suggested a limit of once per 5 minutes.
