The New RSOF!

[Princess Viola]

The RSOF, we all know it. How sometimes you can get a decent conversation, but, once you act like a mod, you're flamed. I have some ideas for improving it.

 

 

 

[hide=Visible Post Count]One thing I hate about the RSOF, it doesn't show a user's post count. I really think that we should be able to see ones post counts and search their posts.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=BBCode]Well, I think that the RSOF should use BBCode, but only the default ones.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Signatures]The RSOF should let people have signatures, maybe a 100 character limit, so the signatures won't fill up a lot of space.[/hide]

 

 

 

[hide=Uploading images]In my opinion, the RSOF should let you post images, this way, you can help people. There would be two ways. 1. A collection of maybe 500 images put together by Jagex. 2. Uploading your own images, but they have to be approved before you can post them.[/hide]

RSOF sucks! go tif :thumbsup:

 

 

 

seriously nobody really likes the rsof. it is full of spamming nooblets. there is nothing one can do to fix it...

[RSBDavid]

go to your profile, it shows your post count

 

 

 

Wow, I have 800 posts there.

 

 

 

OT:

 

 

 

They would need a lot more moderation if pictures were introdcued. Why? imagine if immature kids go on the forums and post porn.

I have... 84 posts? I expected around 20-30...

1. Would cause spamming for post count. So I'd say no.

 

2. Sure, that wouldn't be that bad.

 

3. See above.

 

4. Imagine 100k people wanting to use images. Now imagine the amount of work it would take to approve them. So no.

 

 

 

I'd say just use tif though.

Well, looking at the recent poll "Forum Focus", it looks like JAGeX is looking into revamping and upgrading the Forum along with the rest of the game in Upgrade Year 2009. They've mentioned some of the things you asked for and more like:

 

 

 

[hide=Poll Options]Option to include an image of your in-game character when creating threads

 

Ability to adjust formatting of posts (text style and colour)

 

I do not want anything adding to the forums

 

Automatic addition of a player's signature text to their posts

 

Beginners' Forum - a forum for new players to ask for advice from more experienced adventurers

 

A post and player rating system to vote for popular posts

 

Ability to edit the title of a thread that you have created

 

Other

 

Search by author

 

Search by post content

 

Ability to include quotes from other players' posts

 

Larger character limit for posts

 

Larger character limit for thread titles[/hide]

 

 

 

I listed these in the order of most votes to least, so the ones up top have the highest chance of being implemented first. I look forward to the adjusting of post formats, signatures, editing of thread titles, and quotes. Perhaps it'll attract some more of the RuneScape population to the official forums, with only around 6.2k people visiting and posting occasionally.

QFT

 

 

 

The only thing RSOF is good for is spamming,flaming,arguing and getting permanantly banned for either defending someone or trying to help someone :cry:

 

 

 

If you need a proper forum stick to Tif :thumbsup:

Agreed. Theres no way that jagex will be able to filter pictures etc.

What we need is an IQ test. Get lower than 70 and you're unable to enter.

 

It'll keep most (stupid) persons out.

You aren't serious.. right? If you are serious... you can't simply just measure the IQ of all users.. and lower than 70? That means only people who are heavily [developmentally delayed]ed are kept out. Also there's no direct correlation between IQ and forum behaviour.

 

 

 

Not wanted.

I was joking around, yes. The thing that would really help is just a screen with rules users would have to agree to. Those rules would include not posting in caps, and that every thread must have a discussion value. If you break these rules, your thread will get locked and maybe recieve a short ban. Sounds hard, but people need to learn the rules. Also, simply more moderators would do the job too.

 

 

 

And sorry about that IQ test thingie - I'm just fed up with RSOF, and Jagex lacking to do anything to it.
