I rememeber a few years ago (maybe the first year I was on Subeta, and this is year 3 now), people were using Reload Every to do something during one of the events.

I was wondering if it's ok to use it now to get all the 'bits and pieces' at the crash site.

I've never seen an official rule against it. But, for me, I just refreshed the page quickly for about 5-minutes (didn't wait for it to fully reload) in order to get all the pieces I needed.

It's allowed, just frowned upon.

I actually made a ticket to get an answer from the staff on this matter, since I saw a lot of conflicting info. here's what said, quoted directly:

"Auto-refreshers aren't against the rules, no, so they can be used as long as all they do is refresh the page. If they can be set up to do things for you on the site, then they wouldn't be allowed."

So there you go ^_^

I was literally just about to ask this question.

YAY :D
