Player mods, do they even help?
don't forget, mods are normal people. there are no perks for becoming one, and all that is required is to play the game normally. if any propof is needed for people claiming to be mods, just PM them ingame. as it has been said, there'as really no reason you should trust a mod anymore than your friends. DISCLAIMER: Read the warning in my signature before quoting me Hang on, hang on. I'm holding you up on one thing here. TBH, my role on the Crew and the role of a P Mod doesn't have too much difference behind their principles. Both are purely voluntary jobs, and we both have our very own set of roles, and in both cases, we are cherry-picked by our peers. I obviously don't know how Jagex controls its Player Mods or anything like that, but I can tell you for one that I am expected to work for Tip.It at least a couple of hours a week. The point I'm making is that we both accept those roles and those responsibilities when I accept my avatar and you accept your crown. I am expected to work to a satisfactory degree, so I don't think it's too much to ask that P Mods should do their very best to report and take action against rule breakers. If they simply don't see an incidents, that's another thing, but if there are cases where P Mods are just getting the crown, and then doing nothing, that would be like me sending loads of correction reports, and then doing nothing when I got on the Crew. If I'd done that, action would be taken against me and I'd likely lose my status, so I'm just puzzled where you get the impression P Mods aren't expected to act where they see rule-breaking. I believe you understood wrong, ginger, that quote seems for me like something from runescape.com, and its message is correct, every player can report by themselves too, its not like pmods are seeing those things happening and they should come see if theres anything to report, this is the main case this quote referred to, and it is pretty much meant to protect pmods from excessive abuse by players, because it indeed is abuse. also nowhere it says that pmods shouldn't report. i don't really see either what you mean by these lazy pmods who don't report? i don't think theres such a thing, they simply might not see reportable offenses I don't mean to look down on you... I speak as Ginger Warrior not a member of Tip.It's staff. But it comes back to the old point about P Mods really. If they're not expected to go out of their way (something which I don't believe they should anyway), and normal players such as myself can report offences, then what's the point in having them? They just seem to do a job that I can do perfectly well enough by reporting them. At the end of the day, you can mute someone all you want, but their scam will carry on until CS can deal with the official report. That would be the difference between me and a P Mod. I just don't really see player Modship as either useful, or actually needing a prerequirement of skills. At the end of the day, I can report someone just as well as a P Mod can...

Wikipedia?
And yet I can google a random sight on the american revolution and expect a trustworthy site just because its owned independantly? Plus the teachers accept it? I like using Wikipedia. I once had a report where I needed five internet sources. Picked 4 of em off the internet, then decided to be a rebel and use Wikipedia as the 5th. I noticed that not only did Wikipedia have every bit of info the other sites had, but itt had more! Just because its user contribution, doesnt mean its untrustworthy. any site off google can be a fake or have innacurate info. Especially now the Internet is moving to a phase where most information on a website is user-based and not Website Admin based. Take a look at Tip.It for example. OK, information on the main site still needs people like me to authorise it, but the information I use essentially comes from users. Then there's the biggest amount of info on the Tip.It website - the forums, all of which is user-based information. It's just part of the challenge of the Internet in general. Admins have got to work out what information is actually being posted on to the site. Wikpedia have done so by forcing moderators and their anti-vandalism volunteers to hold up and delete any information which hasn't got a clear link connected to it. I should know from the amount of times I've tried submitting info about RS onto the RuneScape entry...

Book of Binding
It is a double post. It appears whoever corrected it just copied the correction across without actually deleting the one that already existed. Also, the Submit Correction form is out of action for the time being. I'm not entirely sure why that is, but it is and we thank you for using the initiative to post here instead. In addition, that's only mine and darkblade's preference (i.e., the Bestiary Crewbies) - we're not responsible for the Items DB and it would be innappropriate if I did take responsibility for their work. The Items DB crewbies may prefer it through that form, so just because I prefer it that way doesn't mean the Crew in general do. On a side-note to whatever Crewbie deals with this, I think it would much more better fi you just gave a link to the Legends' Quest guide for further information about Holy Water. That note field either needs paragraphing with tags, or referencing.

Missing drop
Indeed. I believe they're down for maintenance? I got that message when I tried doing one for the items database anyway...

This is what im talking about... You can lock this now.
Oww! It's you! I know who you are now lol! Good look with all your goals! :P

Mountain Trolls Drop List.
You needn't. It's already listed. If a monster drops one type of herb seed, it ALL types of herb seeds, unless otherwise stated in the Bestiary. Don't beat yourself too much though, you'd be amazed how many reports we receive from people who make the same mistake! Thanks for helping though! :) Locked ~Ginger Warrior EDIT: These are listed as "Herb(#)", just in case you're wondering.

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Tournament - It begins!
I would join, but I'm goin' on holiday from the 11th so I doubt I could take part. :cry: Lol, who uses Manaphy? It's too balanced - Guthix don't exist in Pok̮̩̉̉mon...

Wikipedia?
Your school needs new teachers. Fact. Regurgitating someone elses opinion is not teaching. I agree, except it unfortunetely is modern-day teaching. In other words, *not* education.

Gordon Brown...
Steady on there lad, I wouldn't go that far. I'm sorry, but don't believe the rubbish you hear in the media. Our healthcare never has been better. It's just that the medical profession is constantly facing new challenges and these problems have been focused more than they were in the past. And as many have pointed out, what's the solution? The Tories? Who can't come up with a strong policy ATM if they really tried hard.

Wikipedia?
I don't regard Wikipedia as juch as an encyclopedia as a reference tool. Having said that, most of its information is perfectly accurate. I've often seen it on these forums. An instant dismissal of any information from Wikipedia. The information is only useless if you don't bother to check the sources that are linked to the article, since all information on Wikipedia has to have a source proving it. Having said that, it pleases me there are people who are sceptical of the information they see on the Net. So my advice is when you find a good piece of information on Wikipedia, trace its source, and use that instead.

Gordon Brown...
What? I'll admit that it is a crisis, and it's not exactly something I'd expect from the Labour Party of all politcal parties, but isn't the whole idea that we are supposed to put money into our pension funds anyway? We wouldn't need to have state pension funds if young people weren't so idiotic not to put money in them in the first place. Also. The longest period of sustained growth since the IR, sustained for ten years. Added to that all the other financial help he has provided impoverished or poor families in the UK. I think it's slightly unfair to say he's too idiotic to finance the country...

Missing drop
Actually me and darkblade both agree we'd prefer it to be put on here. Using the Submit Correction form doesn't force the user to provide his/her forum identity; whilst here they are forced into that situation. We'll keep a note of this. I won't lock this thread just in case someone else has gotten this drop, and wants to tell us.

Getting Around Guide: New respawn point (Camelot)
I just got ownt by Fally guards while shouting "Smite me down oh mighty smiter!" and respawned in Fally. So it appears you have to finish the Knights' Waves sub-quest before your respawn is set to Camelot.

Man banned from talking to women
What if it's still possible for this person to have a perfectly normal and loving relationship? Would it be deemed unnacceptable contact then as well? And above all else, no contact with women for five years? It seems a bit... stupid if you ask me. I'm with Zonorhc - define "legitimate".

Mhmm... my userbar's messed up its hyperlink. Here's something to awe over while I sort it out! :P It's the big one... apart from that other big one! Summer pies! 7K a blast on the RSOF. EDIT: And: 49 Herblore. :)

improved archer animation/form
Belongs in Suggestions, but I love that new animation! Much more realistic! :thumbsup:

Man banned from talking to women
Well, I think it is quite relevant. What's the point of giving a punishment that can't be enforced? If it isn't enforced, the man would practically escape without punishment. Lol yeah. Bit of a silly point there insane.

Getting Around Guide: New respawn point (Camelot)
I thought you had to have started the mini-game, not finish it. I haven't finished it, and I think my respawn point is Camelot now... :-k

I'm ownting him... that's what's happened to it! :P idyno, he was actually helping me do Barrows, since it was my first time there. Don't bring your personal issues onto the forums, especially since Mc didn't intend any malice...
