Macro Scripts

Macro Scripts, or Macros are scripts employed in various computer programs to preform automatic tasks without the need for user input, generally controlled by a key-bind.
== General Information ==
Macros are one of the most frequent methods to rapidly create ascii, paragraphs or grief on the YWOT platform. As copy/paste is impossible on Public Access subworlds, this is one of the few ways to bypass it by creating macros to quickly type out the pasted message of choice character by character. Depending on the quality of macro, this can be a slow or quick process. Macros are most commonly used to repair roads or other common structures found in subworlds and Spam central. 
More advanced Macros can be more destructive, such as going to a list of registered YWOT domains / subworlds and repairing or destroying content. This was employed by The Janitor and the Communists who visited in the community's past. 
While Macros are looked down upon as they are a method of bypassing the few restrictions the platform has. Some use the tool for morally correct reasons, such as ascii art. 
== Warning ==
Macros are a powerful tool and should be used responsibly. Using macros to spam or damage other people's work may give you a negative reputation within the community.
