i think key to this discussion is understanding utility, availability, built in functionality, community opinion
examples:
ski script - small advantage, widely available, essentially built in, accepted by players
hudbot - large adv, availavle to all, lots of tribe hacking required, accepted
lasthope bypass with net functionality - possiblylarge adv, not available to most, technically some hacking req (altho really just returning to vanilla), was not accepted before as much as it is now
perma iff nofog etc - large adv, not avail, requires some code hacking, not accepted
j9omo5k - fat plays wow neckbeard bad at ctf
