It really is. Here's the relevant excerpt:
Bolded parts are the 'gotcha' clauses.What constitutes long-term scripting? The following is a general guide to help you avoid being warned by a GM for long term scripting. It's not an absolute and the GM's judgment will vary from instance to instance. Each instance of long term scripting will be judged independently. However, any scripting activity that lasts over 10 minutes will be considered long-term scripting. Also, spending 25% or more of your time online scripting will be considered excessive. In any case, AFK scripting is entirely against GemStone IV policy and is immediately a warnable offense (If you need to go grab a sandwich or leave your keyboard, you should stop any experience scripting to avoid being warned. The excuse that you left your keyboard only for a few minutes will not prevent you from gaining a warning since the GM will have no way of verifying that fact).
Exception: In general, if you are running a script that does not gain you experience, it does not fall under this policy. However, any script that's deemed by a GM to be disruptive or not in the best interest of GemStone IV or its players will be warned when discovered. IE, if you script moving in and out of a room, it may garner a warning because it causes undue screen scroll.
Warned for not being in the best interest of GS or its players.

You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

Obsessing over the policy is really waste of time. If they change policy and banned someone for said new policy without warning, yes obviously go nuts that's some bullshit. Otherwise, policy is "whatever the fuck simu doesn't want you to do today"
If the policy doesn't reflect that, they'll just change it. (which is why that dumbass policy is all shitily written in the first place, as they already rewrote it once to stop table bots)
Mithrilschlong, 2015-03-10 to slightly later on 2015-03-10. You will not be forgotten!
usable Meteor Swarm, late 2020-12-30 to early 2020-12-31. You will also not be forgotten!
I cannot, for the life of me, believe some of you people still play that game AND pay them $15 a month to let them treat you like shit.
Amazing.
