You don't have to be blunt/cynical/sarcastic/rude to get a point across. If you have to resort to that type of posting style, then you're probably not as intelligent as you claim to be (or want to be seen as). If you get punished for posting like that, it's your own fault for your lack of self-control IMO. It's not that you don't have to be blunt to get a point across, but when it is done that way, it gets an idea across a lot clearer than skating around the issue, and acting like it's just a minor detail, that they should eventually work on. And I question your idea of self-control. Just because not everyone posts like a nice little unicorn, they don't have self-control? For posting something that gets an idea across?

I think many others, myself included, would agree. Edit: Also, for the record, I've never EVER seen Blade post a personal attack at anyone.

Speaking of Farming 99s, I just got mine, and was about 13,650th, or so. That was yesterday, today the lowest 99 Farming is ranked 13,767th. It seems Farming is getting quite popular.

Two 99 Farming posts in one page, go us! Edit: And two different Sneaks :thumbsup:

It depends on the circumstances, IMO. If you're nearly out of prayer, there is no altar on the map, suicide. If you're low on hp, and nobody has food, suicide. Dungeoneering for a few of us is more about having fun and doing dungeons, not about XP rates. I know along with myself...Jimi, Michael, and possibly Tui (she dies enough) feel the same way. I'm at the point where I do dungeons to teach people, get my floor times down, and just being challenged by the floors. Gaining XP and levels are on the back burner right now. This goes to everyone in general: Keyers: If one of your teammates has more than 4 food, they should leave food on the GGS if you're running low. DPSers: You should never need more than 4 food at any one point in time. I'm not saying leave food laying on the ground, by all means, take it (losslessly, ofcourse). But you should NEVER have a full inventory of food unless keying, or if the keyer has a full inventory of food. Even keying, you shouldn't have a full inventory of food, there's plenty of [cabbage] to run through.

So if he were to take your approach, and contact an Admin/Mod through PM, where does that leave the rest of us asking the same questions? I'm sure plenty of others, myself included, have been asking the same questions as Cheeze. And from what I understand, you think anyone that doesn't reply "Yay, good job guys, this is exactly what we need! A Forum board with no excitement, debating, or heated discussion!" is acting like a small child? If you haven't noticed, and it looks like you haven't, but a lot of these "heated discussions" lead to genuine topics, questions, and eventually, answers. I've seen you post many times, and a lot of the time, you don't look past the arguing to see the discussion that is going on. I'll give an example. A while back, there was a discussion of the Chaotic Rapier vs the Chaotic Longsword, and which was better, and for what. One of the topics that came up was using the Chaotic Longsword for Slaying, and a few of the more-efficient class of people on Tip.It were quite straightforward and blunt about the topic. "The CLS is [cabbage] for slaying." Some people took offense to this, and deemed it as whatever. But others looked at the post, and eventually figured out, Chaotic Rapier is much better for Slaying. Now you have to be a complete troll to say "CLS is better for Slaying herpderp." We've come to the conclusion that a Chaotic Rapier is better for Slaying, THROUGH HEATED ARGUMENT. By tightening the rules, you guys are limiting discussion, as anyone that tries to get a decent argument going gets reported for flaming, trolling, and whatever else. There are two sides to every argument. If people disagree, you can't ban them for giving their views. That's NOT how a discussion board is meant to work. BUT, this idea is already in progress. A friend of mine, who gets his point across through heated discussion, was recently giving a perm ban. I guarantee even though people didn't like his posting style, he got his points across, and people eventually learned he was right. But now that we're not allowing two-sided debates, he's gotten a banhammer, because people are too ignorant to look past his posting style, and take in the genuine information he has provided us. One of the BEST people on Tip.It to debate with is gone, R.I.P. Bladewing. (As for Rule 2.2, I'm not posting on behalf of Blade, this is my own opinion.) So in my eyes, heated debates are dying out, as people mistake a post of an opinion as "a flame for no other purpose than to incite a negative reaction." THIS is what you guys are doing by tightening the rules. I hope this gets my point across. I know a lot of people feel the same way.

Sub-20 min material if Ali T hadn't DCed for half the floor <_< Pretty good for a mostly inexperienced team, imo. Edit: I say inexperienced, meaning under 90 DG.

Not a bad day.

Ily Jimi, just stopping in to say.... you missed a key :-w

So, for the record...We may or may not get a ban/warning for making a post that might be considered a troll, depending on who the Mod is?

Is it just me, or do these statements seem to conflict each other? I was told from an Admin that some trolling is acceptable when it's appropriate, and now I'm being told from a Mod that no trolling is allowed. Just my opinion, but I think you guys should discuss it between yourselves, before telling the public multiple different things.

Look on the bright side, at least there wasn't a Ramokee followed by back-to-back Merc Leaders. That happened to me when I was with Nint a couple days ago. Actually, that floor was 2 Ghost Gds, 2 Ramo, 1 mono, 1 merc. At least 5 pot doors. Not to mention, being 1 wayed about half the dungeon. Troll floor to say the least. Edit: I just noticed, on top of all that crap, I ran out of laws. :wall:

A few days ago, keying the worst occult I've ever seen. Nothing to do with the teammates, just rape rooms every room. Ended up with 13 deaths, actually.

So now you can kill Soulgazers without 99 slayer. Dat blood neck <3:

Poppycock. People have been warned/banned before for admitting to breaking Jagex rules. Your scenario is based on a flawed assumption. I've seen plenty of people post pictures of scams, lures, etc. And yeah, they're still here. Flawed assumption, yup. :rolleyes:

First floor keyed under 26 in Occult for me. Yeah, I'm last cause my game crashed with 3 rooms left -.-

At first I thought my net was broken, because I hit next page, and all I saw was the same stuff. Oh wait :rolleyes:

Sorry Jimi, but...ZING.

From what I've seen on this thread alone, it's all older players, most of which are Retired. It seems their say has more influence over some of the longtime RuneScape players that still play. No offense intended, ofcourse.

I agree with this, but it seems some other Admins think otherwise. I'm speaking of a situation earlier today, when a friend of mine, Cheeesy (Cheezedude on Tip.It), posted a joke reply to someone, and was removed, and resulted in a 3-day ban from Tip.It. Cheese is NOT a troll by any means, he's is one of those people described in my earlier post, as well as Obtaurian's. Even as you described, DarkDude, he's someone "who occasionally post a "troll" post every now and then." This is what I was referring to, as going too far. I hope you understand.

No wai, me too! We must be beasts.

A few days ago, 99 within a week.

Gulega* :cool: Anyway, going to try Wingmanning a bit more. Internet isn't quite good enough to key good consistently, but I like being wingman.

Immaturity truely is the essence of Runescape. I kind of think it's petty of hit to quit over such a stupid reason. Sure, 100 new Spirit Shield entered the game within a few minutes of the update and made his divine crash under a Bil for a few hours. From what i've seen/heard its already headed back up to what it was. I think he's just pissed of that he missed it and couldn't take advantage of it himself. Yeah, if he had been a part of it, he'd be like "Oh, no worries, all good."
