SinginSally, I notice you just added a whole script to the bottom of the page. Aren't you afraid that the huge wall of text will scare away a newbie? This isn't the scripting lesson after all so they aren't looking for that. I worry that you're discovering the coolness of scripts that newbies might not be ready for. --[[User:Bale|Bale]] 23:04, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Please be careful about removing, and telling others to remove, "notify." The beauty of this command is that it's a "safe" way to send a kmail to the script author (the message is automatically formatted by KoLmafia, so there's no way for a script author to use "notify" to steal your stuff / meat). Many scripts require quite a bit of maintanence to keep them running with changes to KoL & KoLmafia, and the authors aren't likely to put in the work if it seems as though no one is using their script.

tl;dr Feel free to tell users to edit out other kmail functions, but please don't encourage people to remove "notify."

Scary!?
