Point of clarity here. The only "Telegram Scripts" that can automatically send telegrams use the API, not the HTML site — which, last I checked, mods/admin weren't planning on banning the usage of any time soon. Addressing a few other things though...

Yup... but if nobody in your region has one of those, I'd be shocked. And if you don't have that for financial reasons, I doubt you have the financial resources to be buying stamps.

The response to this is "keep your computer turned on, then."

Then they're overbuying their capacity needs, or they use them for non-NS things in addition to whatever tools they run for NS.

Yes. Model 3B.

If you're only coming into this thread to advocate banning scripts for GCRs, I don't know what to tell you other than the potential banning of all HTML scripts doesn't only affect GCRs, it massively effects UCRs. Most likely on a much larger level than GCRs. Not to mention the metagame impacts, and the technological losses.
