Funnily enough it was said (by one of the efficientists) in the pasted logs that the bans were by the rules. [1:51:45 AM] The Ancient: is that fundamentally the admins, or at least mods, need to actually be active [1:51:47 AM] The Ancient: in forums and in game [1:51:55 AM] The Ancient: in forums because then they can make relevant judgments [1:52:03 AM] The Ancient: instead of appearing to come out of nowhere [1:52:09 AM] The Ancient: cause that's how you generate trustworthiness [1:52:15 AM] The Ancient: and street cred L0L [1:52:23 AM] The Ancient: for example [1:52:26 AM] The Ancient: jimmy jim's bans [1:52:28 AM] The Ancient: came out of nowhere [1:52:32 AM] The Ancient: i mean they were by the rule [1:52:33 AM] The Ancient: fine [1:52:39 AM] The Ancient: but i just have no idea who this guy is Yet all this cabbage was storming about unfair bans. I think that the pasted log was an interesting read, and it confirmed that less time should have been wasted on kittyfooting around. :unsure:

Ridiculously enough; yes.

I will be bold and assume here, but normally the staff contact Jagex if there is doubt about rules. That's what we have done in the past, at least. So the "according to whom" is probably "according to someone from Jagex". Unless of course the practice has changed recently. :)

In example; clans have been able to ask for private forums for them to use for clan matters. This has been especially useful for smaller clans who haven't had the man power to create and maintain a forum on their own, or clans who have appreciated the extra security we have compared to other free forums. There are also private planning forums for events such as the CLan Tournament, in addition to various staff and site/forum content planning forums. None of these have strict moderation, as the usergroups who have access are very small and they can keep things on topic and as clean as necessary. Administrators have access to all forums, including private ones. This does not mean they are invited or welcomed to post in them, but they can check if there are reports or there are suspicious posting patterns. In my time, I have never had to butt in on a forum I didn't have posting priviledges on, so it's not a power that gets abused.

A correction: It's not placed in lvl 74 Wilderness, as several different levels have been shown in that exact spot - ranging from -70ish to 150ish on my main and newbie accounts. Jmods have tested it, and as it is in an instanced area they have chosen not to correct it. Which leaves us with a funny little glitch to screenie and laugh about. Could call it an easter egg... /horrible pun

Just reread that PM discussion, and I have to correct you: Two admins (the ones who had stated an interest in the forum) actively participated and posted properly, and another replied aswell - in a positive manner. Using this to justify breaking the rules wouldn't hold up in court, that's all I'm saying. :)

Earth Talismans (noted) are also from the RoW drop table.

While I always welcome new ideas and forums, I am disappointed to see the way it arrived. Throwing tantrums and making ultimatums should not be the way to get things through; suggesting and negotiating is the way to go about it. I know for sure I am not the only user who thinks this. I hope that the forum will be reviewed often, to see if the goals set when creating it have been reached. :)

So if I wanted my Clan Chronicle articles and all the Clan rules and info posts removed, that should be done? It would not take too much time. What about all my posts? It requires very few clicks. And no, I don't want this, but I think that those pushing for removing said guide are doing it for all the wrong reasons. There is a difference between wanting to be associated with a clan highscore list that others set up, and taking responsibility for something you posted by simply doing nothing and leaving it up.

If people want to leave the forums, why can't they just do so silently and quickly instead of making such a deal about it? :unsure: Either make the point and move on or stay, adapt and try to influence positively.

Both Ginger_Warrior and myself asked a question direkted to those who believes that it's ethically wrong for Tip.It to have the IP of content that forum members have written. Would you also be okay with it if former Crew members or other members of Tip.It staff or similar didn't want their work used by Tip.It anymore? After all, they've most likely spent more time and have more content (all kinds of guides, databases, Tip.It Times or Clan Chronicle articles, forum rules etc) on the site and forums than others. In the end this would mean a huge extra workload for the existing staff, and less time to spend on seemingly more important and up to date projects.

Would those of you who are against Tip.It owning your forum content also be okay with it if former Crew members or other members of Tip.It staff or similar didn't want their work used by Tip.It anymore? After all, they've most likely spent more time and have more content (all kinds of guides, databases, Tip.It Times or Clan Chronicle articles, forum rules etc) on the site and forums than others. Just would like to know if there are any limits to it, in your eyes.

Awesome!! :thumbsup: Needed something like this to cheer us up.

I can't really relate to the accusations of horrible sexist comments in game, as I don't experience that. Maybe we just frequent different places or hang around different people? Or maybe it has something to do with a difference in sensitivity to the issue, as I don't get offended very easily - which means I don't take joking comments from people in a game as seriously. If someone says something seriously offensive I just simply ignore and report, and go on with my life. As I have mentioned in another topic, I have a favourite comment that I like to use in PvP: "I'm a girl. What's your excuse for fighting like one?" Goes both ways, laugh and use it to your advantage. :)

Anything to make the clan forums (and other forums) more accessible IMO. :)

I actually think that a good way to remove accusations of unwarranted bans could be to make the reasons that led to a ban public. If it leads to less turmoil and arguing, then it could be beneficial. The versions from users and staff can be very different, and this (including records) could clear up any misunderstandings. It's a little radical, I know - but it could work. Pan: Please stop spewing negative stuff and throwing insults, you are better than that. :) There are lots of good points in this topic, and I am glad that people are still engaged in the community. Old and new staff care more than you think, but maybe more openness is required. Monthly or more frequent "update" topics is a good idea, and I also think that the clan officials do have a big role in this.

I doubt he was added to "change" anything for a few of you, but as Killerred pointed out; to replace some inactive spots. Some of us have stepped down for different reasons, mostly Real Life. Welcome and best of luck, Jack. :)

Farewell to a respected team that showed that it's possible to have fun, be respectful, be respected and at the same time be viciously strong. Hope to see you back someday, and if not; good luck to all of you.

I like that suggestion. New perspectives and ideas like this one are good. :thumbup:

It's not random if you have 50+, it's by join date. :)

Shows by join date. :)

Huge congratulations to all! :) Happy to see the awards were nicely spread, and that you stuck with the positive awards and that there were no "Worst clan", "Most annoying poster" etc. :thumbsup:

Maybe a different voting system should be considered next time, both to increase the popularity and make the results more representative and accurate. :) More people would in example vote in a poll than would send a PM, regardless of activity. Not to say a pure poll is the best solution, just comparing to last year's system.

Huge congratulations to you both, well deserved indeed. <3: Looking forward to more fun!

Just out of curiousity... How many voted?
