i went to report a guy for advertising a website. so i typed in his name then accidently reported him for offensive language, then shortly after i reported him for website advertising. my question is will i get a blackmark/ban for doing this? it was an honest mistake. please tell me what will happen to me.

Really I don't know, never happened to me or anyone I know, all I can do is speculate. Truly, I don't think Jagex would do anything. They only get after people who use the Report Abuse for the wrong thing repeatedly. Like people saying people macro when they annoy them.

yeah, i had a feeling not a lot of people would know the answer. You answer has comforted me, and now i realise that they will know that it was just an accident.

You shouldnt get anything against you, I mean you did report him for something against the rules so they should just realise it was a mistake.

Jagex is more concerned with the rule breaker than the person who reported them.

 

 

 

You made an honest mistake, I've done it a few times and I've yet to recieve any black marks against me.

 

 

 

:o

Well I was gonna report someone for multilogging/droptrading but I did it for macroing by accident. I sent a query in and they said not to worry, you won't get in trouble. I can screeny the message if you want.

2 things...

 

 

 

1) This is not a "must read" topic

 

2) You're fine, don't worry about it.

 

It takes a lot more than 1 inaccurate report to get your character in trouble...

Like Goobore said it isn't a "must read" topic :roll:.

 

 

 

OT: You reported him for breaking the rules and they'll see that.

Theyll let you off. It was a mistake, and they will realise that.

technically you could report him for offensive language, since what he was saying was spam, AND you found it offensive.

Don't worry, you'll be fine. Jagex knows it was an accident, and they'll see he was breaking the rules anyway. As long as you don't do it multiple times just to annoy someone. You'll be fine. It happens to me sometimes, too.
