"Skripts" Should be banned from the Plugins thread and here's why...

[Ingots]

Hi, so I've recently been seeing an increase in so called "Skripts" coming into this thread. People claim that they're plugins when they're really not. They simply create a piece of code that hooks and depends on Skript otherwise it won't work. The worst part is for this simple form of coding, they're charging upwards of $30! into a existing plugin and requires it to work. A Plugin works for it's self and can hook into other plugins to enhance it's self.

Skripting in the end requires less effort and is less versatile than a plugin made in Java.
The thread is called Plugins and in my eyes, Skripts are just a "add-on" to an existing plugin that generally offer less than a plugin. Back to my starting point... I've seen may people be scammed as they think they're getting a plugin when they actually end up being disappointed and get a Skript. To combat this ban Skripts from the plugins thread or just create an independent Skripts part of the forum.

(If I've offended any "Skripters" in any way, I don't care... It's an opinion, deal with it everyone has one.)

I feel that it should be allowed as long as they make it clear that it is a skript and not a plugin

Skripts? Isn't it spelled like Scripts?

I agree, I feel as though a Skript portion would really stop people being scammed or mislead.[DOUBLEPOST=1446483656,1446483594][/DOUBLEPOST]

Sadly not in this case. Skript is a noobs way of coding. It requires little effort generally and produces a lesser quality than a plugin. It always requires a dependent on the main plugin meaning it's less versatile than a normal plugin too.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

Don't see why this is such a big problem? Just leave it in the plugin section and make them specify if its a plugin or skript..

Because more and more people it seems are claiming that their Skripts are plugins. This is causing the buyer to be mislead. So a new thread for Skripts would more than solve this Eh, Mick

Here's an ideal example:

This is one of the threads that actually drove me to write this thread After seeing people's reactions to it as well just made it even easier to write about it.

I don't believe they should be banned, But I do think there should be a separate section for "Skripts". Because it is NOT a plugin.
