Dire_Wolf Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I was thinking of a idea, Jagex has said that they give new chances to players who's done mistakes to prove for the better. So i was wondering, should report posts make the black marks disappear? After all it shows that people notice bad thing in game and report it... Example: and this is a EXAMPLE! For every geniune report post, it should take away 0,010% of your black mark away Where a Blck mark is 1,0% What do you think about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaranth_GTO Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Imo, this would be bad. Just result in a lot of wanna-be mod like behavior, and if anyone says anything that gets censored, even if it's not something bad, they're guaranteed to be reported by someone who wants to get rid of their black marks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_de_Sable Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'd place a billion-dollar wager that the thread starter has at least one black mark. [English translation needed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will H Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Maybe, but I'm worried about turning ex-convicts into vigilantes, it could potentially be dangerous. You might even get into the position where people will try to get other people to break rules to report them. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaerehw14 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 because want to be mods arent bad enough, people with 9.9 blackmarks will make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estonian dude Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It even doesn't have to be anything offendable, make 100 reports on absolutely anything and your free of blackmarks. That is too easy, appealing system is as good as it is. So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends. RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.I strike out every other week.Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.Randox pretty much stays rational.Etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dire_Wolf Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Wouldn't it work if you get less % per report post? 1 black mark is 1.0% 1 report post = will then be around 0.00010? That will maybe not be appealing to everyone but hardworkers I'd place a billion-dollar wager that the thread starter has at least one black mark. If you are here to bet, you can go to race track.

Fairness Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Then what's the point, though? None, but the most stupid wannabe mods would make 10000 reports to get rid of ONE blackmark. You're being watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But words that's shortened to avoid censor is.. Example... I know that, but how many people do you think know that? Besides, I'll bet that a lot of the players who got blackmarks got them for offensive language, so they'd assume that a censored word = offensive language. Besides, it'd mean one player has to give 100 players blackmarks to get rid of their one blackmark, which they got for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elit9 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I don't have any black marks so I don't really know how it works, but what is the point to decreasing black marks? They're meant to deter one from future instances of rule-breaking; if Jagex were to subtract them for reporting people (something that I think is done quite commonly anyway, as there is no shortage of wannabe p-mods in RS), that would just give rule breakers additional leeway to continue breaking the rules! :roll: Just stop doing bad things, and you won't need to worry about ever reaching the magic number of 10 black marks.

Not everyone is doing a bad thing, and get reported. There is people who's innocent... And there'd be a lot more innocent people getting reported if this was implemented. One person gets reported for something small, and gets one blackmark. He goes out and reports 100 people for small things, and they all get one blackmark. So then they all go out and report 100 people each for the silliest little thing just to get rid of their blackmark. That's 10,000 people so far, all reported for something very small. I'm sure most of them would fit in with your definition of innocent, but it doesn't matter, they were reported just so someone could get rid of their blackmarks. All this would do is increase the number of innocent people reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I can see all the people who have gotten blackmarks because of bad things they have done, reporting all those with 0 blackmarks because they said something that isn't even remotely offensive, but the filter makes it go like *******.

Dire_Wolf Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Aha thats true. Well sorry for my post if it wasted your time. I just thought that it would be nice that people who once did scamming, but has changed could remove those marks. But i realized that it will be like the RWT Fight ...where players were affected by it. Thanks for making me realize though. Your oppions has been well =D> I can see all the people who have gotten blackmarks because of bad things they have done, reporting all those with 0 blackmarks because they said something that isn't even remotely offensive, but the filter makes it go like *******.

highlanders Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Well the whole point is to give another chance to players who prove they have changed attitude. Reporting other people, even successfully, doesn't prove that the person's attitude has changed. Not much can prove it, except good behaviour. 2480+ total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Do NOT report censored words, as the filter has already caught them, but Jagex will still likely take action against the account it they're an offensive word. However, if you see someone bypassing the filter, it IS reportable. I doubt Jagex would do this, or at least not make it publicly announced. It just offers more reports than they can handle=more staff=less money. So I can't see this implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxTearGodxX Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 How do you find out how many black marks you have, or if you even have any black marks at all? 1) Go to http://www.runescape.com 2) Scroll over Help and click Appeal Bans & Mutes. 3) Log in & it will be displayed.

Den Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 How do you find out how many black marks you have, or if you even have any black marks at all? On Runescape.com, put your mouse over [Account] then choose [Account Management] out of the 3 options. Go down to where it says "Account Management" and pick the middle icon which says [Appeal Offence]. You then get re-directed to Jagex.com Type in your username and password. You then get taken to a window where all your offences are. If your in the green zone and the text box says "There are no offences on this account", you have 0.0 black marks. If you have an offence, the amount of black marks will be listed on the page.

BloodArgon Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Maybe not a post, but a user ingame. If the report is found true, the user will have a portion removed, maybe .10, intead of .001. Ten GOOD reports would remove a black mark.
