HoratioCaine Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Today a new post regarding rule 7 and 12 I copied a small piece of text. This brings us to the last point. HOW YOU CAN HELP! You can help us by: Using the in-game 'report abuse' facility to tell us about players you see breaking rule 7. Of course we're not going to ban anyone just on the basis of a player report and will always thoroughly check them ourselves, too - but such reports still help us know who we should be checking up on. Boycott any corrupt 'fansites' which advertise RuneScape gold for sale. There are plenty of genuine fansites out there who don't support cheating in this way, and we fully support those sites. Use those ones instead. Also, don't advertise, link to, or talk about any of these corrupt fansites. Obviously, if they stop supporting cheating, you can start using them again. Under absolutely no circumstances buy RuneScape gold/items for real money! Doing so causes this whole problem, and we'll ban you if we catch you doing it. * (source: http://www.runescape.com ) As you can we are asked to boycott any sites that advertise RuneScape Money, so that includes Tip.it. Remove your advertisement for Runscape gold so you will be a genuine site again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spling Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Tip.it does a very decent job of removing any RS gold-buying ads from their rotation. I've been refreshing a bit since that news post and haven't seen any yet. Zybez, RuneHQ, RuneHead, RuneVillage, and nearly every google result has mass amounts of RuneScape gold ads. Jagex might as well have just come out and said "tip.it is the only fansite that's legit", cause it seems like tip.it is the only one that isn't covered with them. Check out RuneScript and RuneTracker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoratioCaine Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ok that's very good, but I click on tip it now and the first advertisement is about runescape gold, so what ur saying it's not totally true. I just mean it would be very sad, because it's a good site with good information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragontotem Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Already send an email about that advertisement, but thanks for the tip tho ;) You can always send e-mail, but the correct place for reporting bad ads is the sticky found in Website Discussion forum Link to the sticky [/url]">[4Th in Finland to achieve 99 mining. 3Rd of June 2007]Pixels make me horny.

Mercifull Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 A whitelist is better than a blacklist however, this is something that Google lacks.

Gin_and_Tonic Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Yeah, i just read it and came on to see if anyone had already suggested it. As far as i know, JAGeX and Tip.It work closely together. Lets hope theres an alternative. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripsis Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Tip.it has chosen Google as our advertisement provider. So basically, Tip.it decides, "Okay, we'll have advertisements in this spot here." Then Google searches for other sites that relate to our website and advertise them for us. So we do not exactly pick what advertisements you see. Up front, we cannot instantaneously block any and all advertisements that are advertising sites selling Runescape gold - that's not how it works. But we have staff members who spend a lot of time blocking 'bad advertisements' including the ones that are for websites that sell Runescape-gold. Once you report the bad ads here, they can be blocked if you fill out the information we need. There's a big difference between a fansite who who says this on their homepage: "Thanks for coming to our website! I would also recommend that you visit and buy some gold!" ..and a website that has Google advertisements that select those advertisements for them. But we strive to stop it by having staff members who block those advertisements for us. So yes, we are certainly taking action against this :) - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adbrite is a good alternative. Stat Progress | Stat Averages | Stat Records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adbrite is a good alternative. There's only so much tip it can do. Creating more staff positions just to stop rs-gp-selling sites is completely superfluous. They're quick enough to remove them within a reasonable time. You don't really need to be "concerned" about anything - maybe the way google handles the ads they use, but come on. If something like this concerns you, you have a pretty narrow perspective on the world. It's OK. Tip it does the best they can. Ads will slip through, and staff will remove them when they get the chance. No reason to get all worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StGerolf Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Today another one of RS gold, this time the cheapest one :D Can't you demand to Google to stop it. Or can't you only allow ads about RS that are allowed. It is annoying to see that a fansite is advertising to gamespoilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google does not allow pre approval of advertisements and works purely on a blacklist basis. Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

stratotanker Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 PLEASE! Make a link to it on the forum header, like where the links for |Search|, |Memberlist|, etc. are. It would be easier to find it then, and speed up the reporting process. My MOD Queue and MODs - StarTrekGuide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they saw someone here trying to buy runescape gold they wouldn't immediately ban him/her, because they couldn't be sure the forum name and runescape name were of the same person or a frame.

rodl Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Not sure, but someone posted this topic which is breaking the rules. How is this topic breaking the rules? :-s It's discussing a problem, not advertising it. :? Don't worry about it, runescape599 advertises forums which impersonate official forums, they have users like "Mod Zack", "Mod Ian" and others registered there, they act like Jagex mods as well, I mean if you write a topic asking them why they imitate official forums they will edit you post, write "The contents of this message has been hidden" and then reply with something like : "We will have to ban your account and take legal action." Err... Those people make my blood boil. So if I was him, I wouldn't bother pointing at things such as inappropriate ads and rule breaking. Oh, he is about 11-12 years old as well, that may sum it up.

Runescape599 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hey what are you talking about! Mod Zack is a Game-Tech Moderator. It's a company NOT in-contact with Jagex. Don't make comments about them. If you would have read the rules Jagex bans people who buy runescape gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
