pureprayer Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Very simple suggestion. Update this thread: viewtopic.php?f=66&t=764352 Its only about replies (unlike title) and there is no sticky about what/what not to post in the Rants forum. The non runescape related rants can get annoying. Bluelancer is taking a "break" so someone would have to edit his post (i dont know how that works though) Be sure to fix the title to say "Updated" or something. Pureprayer, you're awesome.

Jimmyw3000 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I think i understand what you're saying. You want to update the rants blacklist to include Improper titles What & what not to post in the Rants forum he non runescape related rants ? I dont see it beyond the scope of the mods, and they're valid points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripsis Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 How does this sound? Rants Forum Rules and Posting Guidelines Creating Your Own Topic The Rants forum is a place for you vent your RuneScape frustrations, but that does not mean that you can post incoherent one-sentence rants. Similar to how General Discussion topics need to supply a platform for discussion and RuneScape Bugs & Suggestions topics need well thought out ideas, your rants also need to be worthy of discussion. Rather than saying, "I don't like this, it sucks," you need to present a valid argument for your rant and back it up. When creating your topic, imagine how people would respond. Would they have something to say at all? If you can think of valid responses and discussions, the chances are that you have a valid topic/argument. As an example, if you want to rant about an aspect of the RuneScape game, first describe that aspect. Then explain what you think about it, why it negatively affects the game and/or community, and maybe even provide a solution to the problem or describe what Jagex should do to fix it. Similarly, please make sure that your topic title directly relates to your rant. Here are a few examples of improper titles: [*:w7n8eqlw] "OMG LOOK HERE!" [*:w7n8eqlw] "This is so annoying..." [*:w7n8eqlw] "I'm so mad right now." If your topic is a rant about RuneCrafting, make sure that your title somehow relates to RuneCrafting. Do not post your title in all caps or use excessive punctuation. Remember that the Rants forum is for RuneScape-related rants only. If you have a rant regarding the Tip.it forum or its users, you may create a thread in Forum Updates & Suggestions. All rants related to the Tip.it website belong in Website Discussion. If you have a rant about something not related to RuneScape or Tip.it, you may post it in Off-Topic. But remember, the Tip.it Forum Rules still apply so that means no flaming or naming names. Your rant must have a purpose, be thoughtfully written and constructive. Any topics that are too undetailed, spammy or are about anything other than RuneScape will be locked or removed accordingly. How To Reply To Topics Replying to topics is just as important as creating them. Many replies in the Rants forum have violated section 1.2 - Irritating Posting Styles/Spamming of the Tip.it Forum Rules. Responses that are pointless, spammy, rude and/or only a few words long are not permitted and will be removed as seen fit by the Tip.it Moderators. Here are a few examples of inappropriate comments: [*:w7n8eqlw] "Suck it up pal." [*:w7n8eqlw] "Who cares?" [*:w7n8eqlw] "Just ignore it/him" [*:w7n8eqlw] "Whiner." If you have nothing constructive to say or do not add to the discussion, do not post at all. Not only are the comments listed above annoying, rude and pointless, but they also violate the rules. They will be removed and further action may be taken against the user(s) if necessary. Remember The Rules Although the Tip.it Moderators sometimes exercise leniency when dealing with posts in the Rants forum, all of the Tip.it Forum Rules still apply. If you have any questions regarding these rules or a thread that you want to post, please do not hesitate to contact a Tip.it Moderator or Administrator. - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compfreak847 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Looks great, tripsis Oh, and I found a perfect example of this. http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=783639 I know the poster, he wouldn't post worthless junk like that. It's a thread with zero discussion value that's probably going to start a flame war, created for stupid and unnecessary reasons like "not hitting enough". He is parodying threads very, very, similar to that created NOT as a joke. The sad part? It's completely within the rules. He hasn't broken any of the (3 lines or so) rules of the rants forum, so unless his thread gets locked for flaming he's perfectly safe but burying all of the real, valuable threads on the form -.- Drops: 1x Draconic Visage, 56x Abyssal Whip, 5x Demon Head, D Drops: 37, Barrows Drops: 43, DK Drops: 29GWD drops: 14,000x Bars, 1x Armadyl Hilt, 2x Armadyl Skirt, 4x Sara Sword, 1x Saradomin Hilt, 8x Bandos Hilt, 8x Bandos Platebody, 9x Bandos Tassets, 4x Bandos Boots, 43x Godsword Shard, 82x Dragon BootsDry streak records: Saradomin 412 kills Bandos 988 kills Spirit Mages 633 kills - Slayer Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyw3000 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Only problem is: How To Reply To Topics Replying to topics is just as important as creating them.

Your eye is drawn to the title which says How TO reply to topics, and then to the list with [*:bocopeqv] "Suck it up pal." [*:bocopeqv] "Who cares?" [*:bocopeqv] "Just ignore it/him" [*:bocopeqv] "Whiner." I know you have to be pretty stupid to think you should reply like that, but nonetheless, it's still..[cant think of a good word...disorientating?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLancer Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 The new content tripsis wrote is pretty good, included that in the topic & due credit. The topic is currently in the recycle bin though (deleted items) but it's been updated in case it's necessary in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
