You know, It even says when installing a script "Do not install scripts from untrusted sources" and "Malicious scripts can violate your privacy" or something along the lines of that, Its the users fault for installing a script that could harm you, And you cant say you didn't get warned.

I always check the source code before i install anything as well, I might not be good with javascript but i can spot dodgy coding...

Even if they have to be reviewed first, who's stopping them from posting it here first, anyways? Even if they get banned, who knows how many people might have installed that Script before the User was banned.

I give you the greatest idea in the history of mankind!
-Once a Scipt has been submitted, reviewed, and posted onto this Thread, a Moderator or Employee should approve the Script by editing the post.

Example: I approve of this Script.

If a Script does not say "I approve of this Script", then DO NOT download it, and just wait for the Script to be approved. It's the best thing I could think of the keep the Forums safer.

A simple disclaimer at the start of the thread would should be enough. It's not like these scripts can compromise your computer or anything (unless I misunderstand what the script did). Something along the lines of
The scripts provided in this thread have been made by members of the Bungie.net community and as such are prone to lunacy. Additionally, personal information such as login names, passwords, credit card details, and other identity information are not required for any script to work, indicating that any script that does ask for these kinds of details is a deliberate phishing attempt. Report the user who provided the script to a moderator and delete it immediately.
And so forth.

Extra care should also be taken that these scripts only have http://*bungie.net/* and similar addresses in their @include lines.

Thing is, It says pretty much that when you load the script. Maybe not the password required for the script to work. So not all of it would be required...

Also, http://*bungie.net/* Isnt really gonna do anything bad, Like steal your password considering that the login page is https://logon.live.com

I wholeheartedly disagree.

Here's some things that have the possibility of being sent off to some remote location:

- Private Messages
- Private Group contents
- The email address linked to your account
- The Gamertag you have linked to your account which you wanted to hide from being displayed to everyone
- The name of your operating system
- The name, version, and build of your browser
- The size (in pixels) of your screen, believe it or not
- The keys and values for all of your cookies for Bungie.net


Combine that with the probability that the script running on the other end that interfaces with your installed userscript, collects more data about you (IP address, for instance), someone could build up a nice little profile about you and try their luck at hijacking your account(s).


Then there's always the real malware-type stuff:

- Some tool making a server-side script that communicates with your userscript that will execute anything that's sent to it. Including crashing your browser.

- Automation: The potential that a script will execute functions on your behalf; the possibility that it performs mass spamming of PM inboxes, spams the forums, changes your posts, automates moderation tools, uses your render minutes, changes group settings, abuses the reporting function, etc...

The list is, for all intents and purposes, endless. And it's essentially a list comprised of everything you do manually, just automated, in the background, possibly executing without your knowledge.

Hey, sounds like a virus...

Maybe i underestimated the power of scripts >_>

I was unaware that you could do that many bad things with javascript.

Hmmm, Lets see, I currently have 3 http://*bugnie.net* scripts running XD

this isn't just the coup Death, its all the scripts.
I consider scripts as part of Coup, so I refer to them as one in the same.

I do kind of like Daz's idea of a peer review system.

Posted by: dazarobboRest easy, amigos, I wouldn't even know where to begin to enact such shenanigans.

The review system, I suppose, is a pretty good idea.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I just don't download scripts unless it's someone I know I can trust or if it has gotten a lot of positive feedback.

@ Recon, no. You have a fondness for rules it seems.
There doesn't need to be a 'submission' system. No need at all. Waste of a moderators time, waste of everyones time.
Hell, when Yax asked you why, you didn't even provide an answer, because there isn't one. You earn a name in scripting, apoc, iggy, etc. I trust them, I'll download stuff they link me to.

If you made a script, I'd probably hesitate, because I don't know what it does (unless I look at your code, lul), and I don't like downloading things.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, mateys. So, after seeing this image, I've been wanting to emulate the Active-o-meter. 'Events' are out of the question, but the remaining three categories are feasible. I was hoping I could receive some community input on this, if you are even interested in this. This is the design I'm thinking. It's not as sexy as the Pimps, but I thought it was more efficient to make do with the images already available. So, there are 7 bars. More? Less? And, the parameters for the subcategories are as follows:

News:

Total of 1 article = 1 bar
Total of 2 articles = 3 bars
Total of 3 articles = 4 bars
Total of 4 articles = 5 bars
Total of 5 articles = 7 bars

Since that really doesn't convey a group's activity very well, my hope is to include date difference as well. Opinions?

Membership:

> 1 < 50 members = 1 bar
> 51 < 100 members = 2 bars
> 101 < 200 members = 3 bars
> 201 < 400 members = 4 bars
> 401 < 600 members = 5 bars
> 601 < 999 members = 6 bars
> 1000 members = 7 bars

Since articles really do not reflect a group's activity, I'm not really sure how to approach it. Anyways, thoughts? Comments? This idea is dumd?

The idea isn't a bad one. There wouldn't be a away to actually check activity though would there? Like a little script that scans how often say the forums page is refreshed and it calculates how active the group is?

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

It's possible, but it would probably be a pain to do.
