Do you really make debugging harder instead if working on the site?

I've been trying to help the improvement of this site by finding bugs and problems along with their source for a while. But along with this, I also wrote a script that actually improves the site for my private use and speed's up some things here.

Yesterday, I've shared the script for others. What a mistake.

I can't figure other explanation for what happened slightly afterwards. Riot developpers have added a token for requests used to mark your post as read, preventing me from doing this any time.
Tokens are keys you can't figure out - you receive them and then use then in order to have your data accepted. They're often used against spam bots.

This time, token was added to this request I'm using. Just a few hours after posting the script.

So I wonder... Are Riot developpers so bored that they need to interfere with my hard efforts to make the site better? I think there's a lot of work to do guys. Or is there any other reason this was added? Am I just being paranoid?

######I actually had suspition this might happen, but I had a better expectations of Riot team.

PS.: I have figured it out anyway and the script works.

This is project is in Beta, and we will be continuously making adjustments to our forms and submission validations. Any scripts built off of the current system will likely continue to experience difficulties as the site continues to change.

My only concern was, whether this happened on purpose or not. I understand things might change, I'm ready for it.
However, if there were changes directed against my effort, that would indeed upset me.

If this was not the case, please accept my appologies. Also thank you for the reply - I didn't even expect a Red post on such negative thread actually.

No worries, we wouldn't make changes simply for the sake of breaking someone's bookmarklet or add-on. Personally, I'm a fan of the open source community and mindset.

We will, however, make changes as we see needs for improvements in security and experience.

Well, I'm now ashamed of being so rude in the OP.

Since you said that you like open-source attitude, I'll dare to ask: Is the framework you're using documented anywhere, or is it your own work?

I believe it's their own work, like most of the site, but could be wrong.
