What is optimized about it?

- "fetchAndDisplayData" 
function runs every 10 seconds in yours where as the original runs only after conditions are met at most every 60 seconds. We don't need to make this site lag any harder than it already does.

- Scalable and customizable features in Adobi's script reduced to a more minimalist approach, which is what it is but it's not more "optimized"

- Comments basically non-existent in yours

- No error handling in yours
Ph-N-Tm [2186323]
Didn't need error handling for functioning code, the updates don't cause any lag, mimimalism is scaled for optimization.

The audacity to claim I stole his idea when I've already seen screenshots showing I was requested by multiple users to fix his script up a bit.

Aren't API responses cached for 30 seconds? So 2/3 of his requests are useless.

Brilliant optimization.

Only for requests using: timestamp or from or to, but the point stands that there is no real point in requesting every 10 seconds and there was no point in creating a script that functions exactly like an existing one

I don't think you understand what AGPL does and doesn't do. AGPL still allows users to modify the code, distribute modified code (as long as it remains licensed with AGPL), etc. but requires users to include the license, state changes to the software, make the source available with AGPL, etc. What you're claiming is against the paradigm of open source software (see the OSI's definition).

Also I'd like to note that you're theoretically not in compliance with AGPL by not having the license text in the script (see GNU's FAQ).
Ph-N-Tm [2186323]
No, the issue was using the code maliciously. By remaking the script to purposely target the script creator maliciously, they broke the terms in place with said script and license.
seintz [2460991]
there's no malicious code in his version.

and this is the confirmation that you don't know what your license allows to do and what not.
Ph-N-Tm [2186323]
Rewriting my script that's for helping others into a script for mugging users when that's not it's design isn't malicious? It's designed to help new players get used to timings of in-game mechanics, not mugging. I have scripts for mugging, this wasn't one of them.
tiksan [2383326]
These last two posts don't even agree with each other. Once again, what you described isn't covered by the license (nor is it even malicious). There's also the limitation of liability in YOUR license, so that might actually protect pagey (IANAL so who tf knows).
Ph-N-Tm [2186323]
A reminder that my licensing type requires attribution in all forked code, a fact that isn't maintained in his modified portion.
Ph-N-Tm [2186323]
Not only that, but the usage agreements for the script have been updated, and as such, the forked content is, by right of the license, required to now follow updated usage rights as well, which he and you can find in the updated content.
