The article is over 3 years old now, I think there's not much more than can be discussed, think it's a safe bet to lock this topic to prevent future bumping. Thanks.

Can we please stop all flaming/spam etc. from this point on? Any posts flaming the game/posters in this thread will be removed and further action possibly taken against you. Thank You - DarkDude98 - Tip.It Super Moderator

I've cleared this topic of the inappropriate posts. Thanks - DarkDude98 - Tip.It Super Moderator

Maybe they've been browsing the forums for a long time and finally have something worth posting? It's not fair to single people out, what makes their achievements less worthy than someone with higher post count? Nothing, their achievement is as perfectly good as any. On top of that users may sign up to post an achievement then due to the positive feedback they've gotten it might encourage them to contribute more to the forum as a whole. And I'm fairly sure compfreak was joking about the 18+ thing ;)

It's not needed. There's no Guarantee that a member of staff would be on at the time of the update. If multiple topics do get created then the others will get locked leaving just one topic.

No. 1) Certain Forums don't give post count so that'd be unfair on users who use the said forums. 2) It's not needed anyway, people with 0 post count have just as much right as anyone else to post on these forums.

Getting WoltK tomorrow, currently 2 bars into level 67, couldn't have timed it any better really :P

We've had 2 months without BTS and 2 months with, each of the two sets of months have had roughly the same number of updates. Jagex late last year I believe it was that they'll be cutting down the number of updates and we shouldn't expect them every week, on top of that they've said this year will be an upgrade year. You've stated all the content updates but decide to ignore the other upgrades the game has undergone in that time including a few engine changes. Sure the amount of content so far this year has been disappointing, as has the content itself but it didn't come as a surprise if you'd paid attention to what Jagex have been telling you. Even with BTS we'd still not know why Mobilising Armies has been delayed and it's not the sort of thing that Development Diaries are about, I really think you're missing the reason behind them and are thinking of them as a straight replacement for behind the scenes which they're not intended to be.

This is turning into a discussion of moderator actions which is not allowed - we've answered the original post, admitting to breaking RS rules is against the rules and you will get punished for doing so. What this punishment is varies from case to case and we can not say what punishments have been given out for certain cases in the past.

Yep that is correct. While it's in the Outbox you can edit the message as well as delete it.

I have cleaned this thread of spam. Thanks.

This is pretty much the case, depending on the severity of the glitch and to what extent you abused it, the history on your account and a few other things will depend what action is taken. In most cases you will get a PM sent to you as a warning, or if the glitch is deemed bad enough/you post it a lot then the most likely course of action would be a temporary ban. I can not go into what has happened to past offenders but I can say that more has happened then the post just being removed.

This is pretty much nothing but spam. Locked.

Thank You Howlin for putting a link to this in your signature, means I will never forget to check this topic

Where did I say that? It clearly says in the rules that breaking RS rules (including admitting to bug abusing) can we have action taken - up to and including a permanent ban depending on the offence.

Yes, there will be new charts, I assume some will be significantly different while others will be virtually the same, will have to wait and see.

Please use this topic: viewtopic.php?f=97&t=605046 Thanks.

Oh, so you just mean that actually violating the rules (using language, macroing) in things unrelated to RS are bannable? It clears that up, but I wasn't aware that people could brag about glitches without receiving anything other then a mild slap of the hand and post removal. The way I read it was quite simple and easy to follow: Ban for bragging about\posting screenhots\continuing after a mod has removed posted and posted to stop several times, and I was confused as to why it wasn't happening. I guess TIF has no rules for bragging about bug abusing to gain massive amounts of wealth as well as posting screenshots and detailing methods required. IMO it's a perm ban worthy offense (just like it is on RS), but I guess the mods don't see it that way. Report the posts instead of whining about it. we're not mind readers there's no way we can tell what posts you are talking about.

The only punishment that is visible are locked topics and permanent bans (And temporary bans over a certain length). All other action that is taken against users is private and not allowed to be discussed (be it a warning or whatever). As for clarification, it's hard to do as each situation will be different. The definition of what a bug is doesn't help either, for example safe spots in the sara gwd boss room were technically "bugs" as Jagex didn't intend them to be there but using them doesn't count as bug abuse as it could very well have been a "feature". The best thing to do is if you're unsure on if a post is against the rules is to report it anyway, it doesn't do any harm and the moderator who handles the report will decide if it breaks the rules or not. It's annoying for us as well as you that we can't clarify it more than that but if we had to list ever single individual scenario then the list of rules would be miles long. Just use your common sense when it comes to things you're posting to avoid getting in trouble, if you're unsure if a post you want to make would be against the rules or not, ask a moderator first and they should be able to help you before you post it. Hopefully that helps.
