Locked as requested. - Ard

Been here, done this. It was annoying the first thousand times. Redundancy ftl! - Ard

While most who should read them do not, we'd have people complaining if they weren't there. - Ard

Thanks! - Ard

Announcing The TET Slave Auction 2007 Since the days of scapeboard the Slave Auction has existed. All profits raised go towards the TET's year of parties to provide drops and awards. However mainly they go towards one massive party. Last year over 160M+ was raised and the Christmas party had a huge drop party. They have all been very successful, and money raised grows each year with the inflation. So this year we want more! ... <<< Read the full thread here. >>> Have fun! - Ard

Yeah, what he said. - Ard

Redundant, locked. - Ard

Thanks! I've got more new ones up. - Ard

Whoo hooo! I managed to coordinate getting the other two melee's leveled with my partners in crime. In doing so, I got 99 combat and 1800 total level. ^^^ Yep, Swamp thought it was the big 100 combat. Not just yet though.

Bah, accidentally leveled a Defense because I forgot to turn off auto-retaliate. Of course, I missed the screenshot too. 113 Tears Collected

RuneScape Bugs & Suggestions is the forum you are looking for. - Ard

Posting an opinion is one thing, flaming and spamming, quite another. The original post of the thread is related to how users are "being holed up in boxes as if we do not post in the correct sticky, topic or thread we will be shot hung and quartered." We try different ways of enforcing the rules because not all users resist flaming and spamming. It is a vicious cycle, for sure. I'm glad you read the whole reply. I hope you can understand how it might be frustrating to have it labeled as pointless. - Ard

Gee, we reply and get complaints as to how we do it? I recognize the issue. I stated that it is the responsibility of ALL USERS, regardless of rank. If you'd fully read my post (since you've clearly stated that you didn't) you'd see that. :wall: - Ard

Please clarify whether you are talking about in-game censors, RSOF censors or Tip.It censors. None of our word censors insert asterisks as the replacement. If you are seeing asterisks, the user is keying them deliberately. If a word/caption is censored a word or phrase will appear [in brackets]. - Ard

Thanks! Yep. Some of these are works with new scripts and variations and many of us (Apophysis users) come up with similar images to start. Eventually I work up to making them completely unique. - Ard

I've been pondering a reply to this thread for a few days. To begin, I do want to say that I wasn't here for the old Scapeboard days so references to the good old days are lost on me. With that said, here' goes. In the time I've been here, our userbase has increased therefore removing some of the "small town" feel (if you will) that many of you mention. In a small town, you can have a single town square where people come to get help, sit around the park and chat about anything. People on the whole know each other and are easygoing about helping each other out about anything, even if the topics jump around. As the town grows, people start getting annoyed and use things like rudeness and sarcasm to tell people they are in the wrong place or asking the same question for the nth time. As a community, we are all responsible for keeping the small town feel. If someone asks a redundant question...it won't hurt to just answer it and let the thread die a natural death. Instead, people tend to blast the thread with spam about how it's been asked and answered before and how spammy it is to ask. Or, someone will report the thread and people will post just to ask why the thread was reported. Unfortunately this requires that the moderating team come and scrub the "this is spam", "search next time", "ur a noob for posting this", "+1", etc. graffiti from the forum. Is this how we want to spend our free time? Heck no! We want to spend our energy posting, attending events, coordinating contests and having fun, not running around with locks and chains and ban sticks. Regarding Stickies Sticky "post your this or that here" threads are really a result of what's actually posted. If a certain topic gets overposted, we'll consider giving you all a single location to find the topic and reply accordingly. Do all stickies need to stay around forever, no. Our Forum Updates & Suggestions forum is there for just this sort of constructive feedback. If a sticky simply isn't merited anymore, tell us specifically. So, what's the staff doing? Since I've been on staff, we've really busted our tails trying to come up with ways to improve Tip.It. We do what we can to update the forums with the suggestions you have. We've simplified almost every instructional post on the forums. We've installed the Report Post function. We've increased signature size. We've simplified the Index. We've added subforums by request and then removed them. We've reduced the number of censored words...and the list goes on. We recognize that the "mood" needs to change but we need all members of the Tip.It Community to help, not hinder. If users want to help by reporting rule violations, then users need to refrain from replying with rudeness/spam and furthering the problem. If users want fewer sticky threads, TELL us which ones are no longer needed instead of making blanket statements that give us nothing constructive to work with. If we remove stickies and topics get redundant, we need users to not spam them up with how spammy and redundant they are. If someone asks a question that's been asked a thousand times, we need users to simply answer the question instead of posting to flame the inquiring mind. Above all, give us constructive ideas by posting them on the Forum Updates & Suggestions forum. We are all part of the Tip.It Community and we are all responsible (regardless of rank) for improving the quality of our forums. - Ard

It is imperative that all applicants check for private messages. We have a number of responses sitting in our outboxes. We'll do our part and move your responses to a safe place but you need to check your Inbox or you may not ever know the result of your application when the Nov 1 Message purge hits. - Ard

Is this going to hinder the application process? Not much. The only thing I can see us doing to prepare is perhaps not send any application responses for the five days leading up to the purge. The trick is for all of you to keep up with your inboxes for our messages. We'll be sure to move yours to a safe place. - Ard

Thanks so much! I just swapped out all my signature images. I hope you like! - Ard EDIT: Just ran a level three clue... #-o

Love the blues. Font on the right is difficult to read. 7/10 *** I just uploaded all new images to my rotating signature. Please describe the image you are looking at since it rotates. - Ard
