SomeWelshGuy Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 http://forum.[Please Use QuickFind Code].ws?27,28,478,57459752 Hi, As the Rants forum will be changed to Game Feedback and the majority of threads will be deleted, we have decided to create this sticky for you to nominate threads which you would like to be saved. When selecting a thread, please use the following template: Quick Find Code: Thread's title: Reason for choice: Update! I will be locking this thread at midnight (BST) tonight, so please make sure you get your votes in before then! The Game Feedback forum will be going live tomorrow afternoon/evening, so this forum will be removed at the same time! Please do not expect your threads to be transferred over immediately, as the process will take time to complete. See you in the new forum!To me they simply want to get rid of almost all the rants to make it look like they have more compliments, note they are not doing this with the compliments forum. Sure, rants is more popular, but still #-o Retired Tip.It Crew Mapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmyx50 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 i think its because of the large number of spam rants that come up each day. if you ask me, its a good idea because all of the GOOD rants get pushed back to page 25 because of the spamers and newb ranters. Thx AquaMare for the amazing sig![hide=Clicky!]Points2Shopit's ligit, ive used it. hey, its a great way to kill time. :)[/hide][hide=drops and stuff.]Bandos drops: 2X Shard 3, 5X Bandos Plate, X1 Bandos TassetPROUD owner of the fire cape since October 9th, 20086X Black Mask Drops[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danqazmlp Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Rants forum is pointless anyway to be honest, i wouldn't complain if they removed it completely, its just a cesspool (sp?) for all the bad things in the rs community, whiners beggers immature tards, they all congregate n that one forum and come up with lame ideas to whine more (riots and the type). Now we'l have peace of mind they arent together. Want to be my friend?

SomeWelshGuy Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Sure, I agree that 85% of the rants forum is "Z0MG W3 WAnT T3H W1LDY BACKKKK!!!!!1111", but I don't see the point in the whole merging the two forums thing. Think of it, surely all the rants will just simply push all the compliments out of the way, and into the page 51 monster? I don't see how deleting all rants will solve the problem, more will just replace them. Retired Tip.It Crew Mapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danqazmlp Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yeah but in all seriousness, what role does the compliments forum serve? It does nothing to be honest, ok its a nice place to be cheerful to jagex, but it doesent achieve anything towards the game. The minescule purpose of the rants forum combined with the non existant purpose of the compliments forum will maybe make a half purposeful forum :thumbsup: Want to be my friend?

Omali Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 To me they simply want to get rid of almost all the rants to make it look like they have more compliments, note they are not doing this with the compliments forum. Sure, rants is more popular, but still #-o That's part of being wrong. They're changing the name because a huge amount of the rants get locked because they're spam or in the wrong forum. Changing the name to game feedback and starting new will help that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 This can both have negative and positive effects. Bad threads can be bumped back up, however, they would get locked faster. Good threads would also get bumped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avid43 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Never use the RSOF so I don't care... If I did then I would be happy they got rid of the rants section anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervinator_9 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Fewer rants= better community. No i think it just means a quieter community, ive never had a thread on the RSOF rants nor do i browse them regularly, but i think players need a place and have a right to vent and rant somwhere, If anything this just means more rants will come to TIF and by that logic will decrease the quality of the community here, Theres a fine line between not listening and not caring,I like to think I walk this line every day. Pinning blame on Jagex is like trying to put pants on an old man. You both know he needs them, but he'll just keep dancing around, avoiding them at all costs.

Tim Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 or perhaps with the new PvP zones to be installed later this year their killing off all the spam etc about "Bring the Wildy back!" which IS quite a large amount of threads.

Pawn Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I could'nt care less. Fewer rants= better community. Hate idiots like you. Without rants we wouldn't have had: No auto scrolling bank pages, Many glitches fixed, THE NEW PVP, and much much more. More rants = better game and community. Rants is not for spam threads like : @@ omgs I GOTS HACKED!!, it's for ranting about in game problems which need to be improved. STHU and GTFO.

Madmanpur3 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 rant verb (used without object) 1. to speak or declaim extravagantly or violently; talk in a wild or vehement way; rave: The demagogue ranted for hours. verb (used with object) 2. to utter or declaim in a ranting manner. noun 3. ranting, extravagant, or violent declamation. 4. a ranting utterance. Would someone care to explain how doing any of the above for the sake of venting their frustration is beneficial and/or productive? (of you who are saying it is) Sure some changes have been made that have sprung from the rants forum, but that doesn't mean they were rants...they just had nowhere else to put it. With the new forum there will be more constructive criticism and less rants, which is in fact better for them at JaGex and better for the community as a whole. Oh, and Danqazmlp - the compliments forum does serve a purpose, it helps JaGex understand what sort of content the players like and would like to see more of, or if their risks paid off, stuff like that. Without the compliments forum they would not be able to distinguish between the content that people are satisfied with and the content people really like, and there is a big difference between the two.

sohkmj1 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 From my own experiences Jagex never (or hardly) gave a damn about rants anyway... Hope this changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
