i got perm muted for saying ss (which stands for swift switch) and also got 1 mark for saying tip.it and another for saying zybez =( jagex sucks!

Its not against the rules.

 

 

 

a mod told me i can say tip it. they even said it.

 

 

 

Now, 'Tip.it/runescape' is probably reportable though

Got nothing to worry about, I'm sure Jagex will understand :? Specially if you have no black marks.

 

Btw what cape is the guy wearing?

 

 

 

Slayer :)

 

 

 

Yeah -- I wouldn't worry, like other people, I agree that even if you get banned you can just appeal and you'll be fine.

Rather than bump the topic, report it so it gets locked, and dont post :roll:

Anyways... Yes, I think you will be safe. if you try to say for example a hacking site, then you are... dead. Not sure, but there are so many people who said Hyt! and tip.it lots of times. I usually try to keep safe, I usually say "twit" not "tip.it". I got it off lightning off the first day of clan chat. She told a jmod that "hyt" stands for "hey you twit" so I kept with it. Some kind of Code word really. I used it afew times and people knew what I meant!

Don't worry about it, i asked a mod about just mentioning a site name, he says that from the official guide on how to mod and when to mute, it says to not report if the name is mentioned

I can't tell you where I got this from, but in the player mod center itself Jagex states that naming a fansite should not be reported. I realize Runescape's knowledge base says not to name ANY urls, but according to the player mod center, Jagex does not heed reports about fansites.

i got reported for saying tip.it many times but nothing every happened..

the rule is there to protect you from malicious websites. it is a good rule and i believe in it. however, yes, as you pointed out with the wannabe mod...some players tend to act like nazis when it comes to the rules and throw all common sense out the window. tipit is a very well used and common fan site. i've had friends ask me for help for training and quests and such...i simply tell them that i'd check tipit. usually i say it in pm tho. to me...that is a world away from spamming in a bank saying "hey everybody! check out tipit fan site for all your runescape needs!" that is advertising. if someone is asking me what i'm drinking and i reply "dr pepper" i'm not advertising for dr pepper.

 

 

 

i had a player the other day at the fishing guild looking for autoers. i'm lvl 109 and fishing next to him. he says "jp" so i say "what?" he replies..."just checking" like if i was looking at something else or didn't respond i must be an autoer. now if i see macros i do report them, but i don't go out of my way to try and police everyone in my vicinity. that's just being a nazi about it. like you pointed out in your thread...the only reasoning i can get from this is some players are just trying to be wannabe mods. when jagex has to sift through all the spam reporting like that it makes me wonder how long it must take to get to real reports.

 

 

 

i do agree with all the jagex rules and do my best to abide by them. if i see someone obviously breaking the rules i do report them. but i try to use common sense on what i feel might need to be looked at and dealt with and what is perfectly innocent. oh, and i don't yell "reported!" after each report...like that's gonna make any difference.

 

 

 

we're here to play a game and have fun. let's use a little bit of common sense with that report abuse button.

Did you say "tipit" or "tip.it", because that nasty litter period can make all the difference, but either way, you should be safe, I really doubt you'll be charged with an offense for saying either of those. I'm also going to agree when my fellow tifers said that he was just joking, I bet he was. Whenever I'm in world 1, after I trade with someone they decline and instantly say reported, it was literally 3 seconds, so I don't think they had much of a chance to report me.

 

 

 

So basically, your safe and nothing will go wrong..

Wow you're cool...

Anyone notice this is from august?

Anyone notice this is from august?

 

 

 

yeah....so?

A player mod told me to use tipit for quests when i was a noob so i assume not lol

I've seen a lot of people muted for stuff like that.

You just now realized that? I've known that for a long time. And yes you should be worried because I know people who have been perm muted because of that.

It is a breach of the rules to post anything promoting a website in the forums or in the game.

 

 

 

Hello, :)

 

 

 

"Zybez" and a few other names I didn't try are censored in game, this must be for a reason. It's a well known fact that some players have been permanently muted for saying "Google" in game before the name was censored...

 

 

 

If you feel your account is worth to be kept playing with, just do not mention web site names in any way and this does include giving out vague clues, or even written words on the minimap by dropping stuff on the ground. :-#

 

 

 

When a player is seeking for help I usually direct him to the Knowledge Base, his Quest Journal or "some fan site of your choice". If I want to direct him specifically to Tip.It, I sometimes go as far as suggesting him to search the Internet for the keywords "runescape first help site", but I never go beyond that point.

 

 

 

Better safe than sorry. ;)

 

 

 

Greetings,

jagex doesn't have a problem with fansites, they post here and there and go on chat lightning too. You should be fine they block RuneHq but no tip.it 8-)

Thank you for the warning. I'm pretty sure of that the most of the tiffers know of this rule, and that you never should say a website's name in the game. But I'm also pretty sure of that this information was new to some of the readers, so thanks for posting :)!
