Browser Extension/Userscript Policy

PackersRuleGoPack

Okay A bunch of people have been commenting whats the big deal and stuff, the big deal is that we can't advertise the extensions anymore..

But anyways, since I'm one of the people who make extensions I thought maybe I'll give my thoughts:

Back to the policy, this means we cannot advertise extensions anymore, but I am pretty sure we can still use them… Hopefully this doesn't become something that people use like “secret code” to advertise with..

Since the ST is in charge, they can do whatever they want, and we have to accept it. I don't think we should create studios asking for this to be brought back or anything, that just causes more drama (and no one wants another “Discuss Button” protest)

Also, I don't think the ST is taking suggestions, but if they do happen to pass this comment maybe there can be some sort of “review” method for an extension. I'm not sure that would work since if a hacker wanted to make an extension he could make it okay at first, get the review then add code to hack users…

Thank you. I agree. So many people disagree, and I really don't want it to turn into another Discuss Button protest.

No, please no. I actually helped that get better, with @DiscussButton

if <not <(World_Languages) = [Awesome]>> then
set [World_Languages v] to [Awesome ]

    
end

Is it our faults for downloading the Isonlines? I kind of feel guilty after using isonline.

We can still use extensions but to not put links to get them.

Did you really need to put an unrelated link to battleforthenet?

Please stop you can still have as may extensions as you want but you can't say you have them and how to get them or advertise them in general.

There goes my isonline crown

This, my friend, is a signature. A signature owned by a failure (TrueFBK).

#BringItBackAgainAgain is going to become a thing, isn't it…

And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

Not to be mean or anything, but while I sorta get the advertising thing, I think it was just plain mean to delete the ScratchMoji and IsOnline accounts

Yeah, I agree. I was going to go to the ScratchMoji account, but I found out it was deleted.

They're not removing extensions and userscripts, you just can't advertise them. They will still work.

I understand these changes.

It isn't like I even wanted the isOnline crown anyways

However, when I saw the admin message, I had two of them. And they were the same message. Why did the ST give me two messages?

You don't have to delete iO, just don't advertise it.

proud2BAnerd is extremely AWSOME!
