I'm not against helping people. I'm against spoonfeeding them.

I am not your fucking library. I am not the only person who knows how to run this game.

You're not telling me anything I don't already know.
I've been a server admin for Minit for well over a year, and seeing the same shit over and over again really really drags your morale down. I actually ragequit adminning in protest a short while before 1.0's release. Unfortunately, this wasn't going to do anything, because Jagex are a bunch of incompetent fuckwits when it comes to running servers, and having a complete lack of server moderation is OK in their book, so my protest didn't even fucking work.
But yeah, it really feels like every aimbot I see is the same person over and over again who is incapable of learning. This of course is not true, but it really, REALLY feels that way. If it were the same person over and over again, they'd eventually cave in. But it's not. It's worse.
Shit like that REALLY,
REALLY drags you down.
Now back to the point about spoonfeeding.
The docs exist for a reason. They are to be read. I should not have to recite the same thing over and over and over and over again. If people don't spot them, it is MUCH more useful to point them in the right direction, rather than to just throw the answer at them.
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll sit in a boat and dr... I mean, feed him for a lifetime.
Otherwise, we end up with an infestation of THESE GUYS:
