It has been over a year, and I am not sure how common posts here will be. I wanted to make note of something because it is troubling.
Today, 120 attribute points and just under 12000 ranks were removed from characters for repeated scripting warnings. That is just TODAY. Those are only the ones I did myself or had done by my orders.
If your scripts loop, change them. If you think you have a foolproof system and will not get caught, you are wrong. Change it. If you already have a warning in the last year, change them now, you have already used your warning, the next will be penalties.
This is a wake-up call.

Nice to know things are still enforced, the way some folks act its easy to get the impression that AFK scripting is largely ignored these days. I highly recommend more frequent posts pointing out such stats!

<<Public shame and social stigma can motivate people who brag on the boards about getting to 80 in a month without afk-scripting to epic rage-quit when they complain on the boards a week later about being caught afk-scripting as a result of said bragging.>>

I still get a chuckle over that whole situation. It made my year.

Public shame and social stigma become difficult to enforce when they are not present in public to receive said shame or actively part of the society in which their characters script ;).
