Dungeoneering is teh boring :( And I'm working on slayer! I got 75 just now :XD:

Just your post!!!!! :thumbdown: :thumbdown: Kidding :P

Because it makes my blog mean something to me :P I have 184 pages of support and level discussion. Not 184 pages of chatter :P

I pride myself on having a spam-free blog <3:

Hmm I'm not really sure how there are "fake donation requests." By donating you are willingly giving your money away and understand that you're not getting anything in return. Either way I'm locking this as there isn't much discussion value to it and since I'm not seeing it as much of an issue. If you truly consider it to be a scam method then you can post it here: Stay Safe: A Guide to Account Security. However please note that I did edit out the names from the first post. Naming players in a negative light is not permitted. This means you may not accuse people of scamming, etc. The reason is that you could name someone and give them a bad reputation, but in the end perhaps it was just a misunderstanding. Now they have an undeserved reputation of being a scammer or whatever ;)

Looks like you're right :lol: Thanks, I'll change that!

Well. I know that in nearly every case, being hacked is really the fault of the victim. By that I mean they make the mistake of trusting a friend with their password (or their e-mail), their recoveries are not secure, their password is a dictionary word/personal information, they don't read up on common scams and fall for an e-mail scam (as an example), they don't protect against viruses/keyloggers, etc. So there are definitely ways in which you can defend yourself against hackers and if you take all those precautions, there is no reason that your account should be compromised. And if you fail to take those precautions, it is certainly your fault for not being more proactive about your account's security. And if I got hacked, I definitely would think, "Well that was stupid of me." That being said, I do think I always have a paranoid little voice in the back of my mind that is afraid someone will totally randomly and magically guess my password, though it would be exceedingly difficult and nearly impossible to do.

Oh my god :P *doesn't know what else to say*

Well if you don't tell her and continue hooking up with her, then you really are just using her for sex, especially if you KNOW that she wants something more than that (which it sounds like she now does?) :P At least if you tell her then it's sort of a mutual using rather than leading her on. Next time she texts you why don't you say something like, "I'm not looking for a relationship right now but I'd love to hang out/come over/whatever." It's a casual and more subtle way of bringing it up (better than "let's just be [bleep] buddies" or "I don't like you but I love having sex with you") but hopefully it will send the message that you really enjoyed hooking up with her but don't want anything more.

Yeah that's why it depends on the circumstances ;) For instance if you were banned for something other than macroing then you wouldn't have any stats/items rolled back. Or maybe you were only macroing one stat so they'd only reset one stat but leave the rest of your high levels. Totally circumstantial, but it could be one of Jagex's reasons.. who knows :P

Haha you're Established :XD: I have so many people on my friends list whose names I don't recognize anymore. I saw Established log in and thought"Okay now who's this?"

Hiya!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Nice screenshots so far! Keep it up - I look forward to seeing more ;)

I remember you! :mrgreen: Very nice job on those stakes :P

Hey there, glad to have you :) I think the first of the signatures you posted that the potential to be really good but it will depend a lot on the composition and how well you can make the background work. I think the Bandos guy looks great though :) Something does look a little off with the hands though.

Great idea! :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing!

I suppose depending upon the circumstances this could actually cut back on RWTing. If someone's account gets banned, they may be inclined to buy a new high level account because they don't want to go through all that work again. But in this case, rather than doing that, they can buy their original account back from Jagex.

Awesome, I saw this submitted on dA the other day! :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing, as always! More, more more! :P

:thumbdown:

I definitely went "wat" at some of the ones in the OP. Especially because many of those things could be done right now, you wouldn't have to go back and redo things. So why think about "I wish I could go back and do this" when you could go ahead and do it now? I don't think I would do anything differently. Yes I have made some mistakes but those mistakes serve as guides for my future decisions. So in a sense, I need them to be the person I am and aspire to continue to be.

Well this sounds silly.

Om nom nom :lol: Congrats on the set!

I've been doing stuff :P

I always see it as any other holiday. Are you Jewish and don't celebrate Christmas? Just ignore all the Christmas trees and Christmas advertisements. Don't celebrate Easter? Ignore the bunnies and Easter eggs. Don't have a significant other? Ignore the hearts.

I'm sure this will wear off soon. People are excited and they're exercising their freedom. The economy is going a little crazy, which is causing all the ridiculous flipping profits. Give it time and prices will stabilize and people will go back to skilling.

Hey Tip.It'ers :) Especially with the re-release of free trade, the Tip.It Staff has noticed a significant increase in scamming attempts. As such, we'd like to give you all a few reminders and tips to keep your account safe! Scam E-Mails There have been a few scam e-mails being sent out lately. These e-mails will say that they are from Jagex and the content typically reads something like: E-mails such as this are a scam. If you hoover over the URL (which appears to be an official RuneScape URL) and look at the status bar on your browser, you will notice that the URL actually leads elsewhere. If you enter your account details on a website other than www.runescape.com, your account username and password will be stolen. That brings us to our next point... RuneScape URLs Double - or even triple - check URLs that appear to lead to somewhere on RuneScape.com. It is very easy for people to disguise URLs to make them appear to lead to RuneScape.com, but actually lead elsewhere. To check a URL, put your cursor over it (do not click!!), and then look at the bottom of your browser at the Status Bar. The Status Bar will tell you where the URL truly leads. However, in order to stay 100% safe, do not use URLs provided by other users at all. If someone wants to direct you to a RuneScape Official Forum thread, do not click their link. Instead, manually go to the RuneScape Official Forum and input the Quick Find Code for the thread that you are attempting to view. If someone wants to direct you to a RuneScape News Post, manually go to RuneScape.com and view the news post rather than clicking a user link. It is always safest to do your own navigating rather than relying on URLs provided by other users! When logging into RuneScape.com via FireFox, look for the following: Other RuneScape Account Precautions There are several other ways to protect your RuneScape account and prevent yourself from getting scammed. Here are a few tips: Account Security Choose a complicated password. Do not select a dictionary word or any personal information (name, birth date, etc.). Choose a password that contains both letters and numbers (ideally random ones). The longer the better! Never give your password to anyone. Doing so is a violation of the RuneScape rules anyway (account sharing) ;) Make sure your recovery questions are set and that the answers could not be guessed by anyone - not even friends. If you have an e-mail address registered to your account, ensure that your e-mail account is well protected. Choose a complicated password, tough recoveries and use an e-mail that is not shared with anybody. Do not use this e-mail for any other websites (including fan sites). Always set a bank PIN and deposit all of your valuables into your bank each time before logging out. Do not visit any suspicious websites and run virus/malware scans regularly. An important part of keeping your RuneScape account safe is ensuring that your computer is safe and free of keyloggers and other viruses. Protect Against Item Scamming/Luring Now that we have free trade, unbalanced trades are permitted. Ensure that you are always paying the correct value for an item. Check the trade window to see the price guides Jagex has put up. Ensure that you are buying an item for a similar amount of gold pieces than the recommended trade value. If you are paying outside of that range, ensure that you have used multiple reliable sources to confirm that the price you are paying is fair. Know when you are entering the wilderness! Historically, people would lure other players into the wilderness in order to kill them and take their items. There is a wilderness wall that separates the wilderness from the normal world. When you cross this wall, other players will be able to attack you! Armour trimming does not exist. Other users cannot trim your armour for you. When In Doubt, Ask If you are ever unsure about whether something is legitimate or not, always ask. Be sure to ask someone that you trust, or best of all, a Tip.It Staff member or Jagex Moderator. The Tip.It Staff is here to help all of you and we care very much about your safety and account security. If you ever have any questions or doubts, you may send any of us a private message.
