I prefer no to rise exceptions as long as the code CAN continue to run... ;) But good idea to print a deprecated hint if -dry was used; I forgot this one!
Greetings!

I just made a comment at CR. Removing these options could confuse bot owners or break bot maintenance. You should either implement an option alias or raise a nonimplemented error to prevent it's use without -simulate but with the old one. And print a hint that the old option is deprecated (if you prefer the alias) or removed (if you raise the exception)

Trigon, this is great, thank you! I have just tried it and works fine and helps in testing a lot.
Your wellcome!!
Several scripts use their own mechanism for that with "-dry" or "-test" or something; we should revise these if they are still neccessary or may be removed. (As far as I understand -simulate works with API query. What happens if somebody uses the bot without API?)
Please consider r10354 and r10353. Hope this is what you had in mind (back those days... ;)
Greetings DrTrigon
