This report ACTUALLY went through...?

[Zierro]

What's next? Banning people whenever they use the words "make" and "babies" together in one sentence?

 

 

 

What's next? Not banning people who say, "I'll pay you 5k for a good time,"? As stated, law systems intend to be consistent and black and white on purpose.

[compfreak847]

 

 

 

 

Well, I don't think it'll go as far as the gf/bf thing, although it's kinda sad anyway.

 

What? You do know they already banned discussion of gf\bfs long ago, and are handing out heavy punishments for such?

 

 

 

As it happens I do not remember that. Is this on RSOF? I really don't bother with RSOF much at all so I wouldn't know the slightest thing about their rules.

 

It was in an update on the main page a very long time ago. I really don't feel like hunting for it, so take my word for it. If you want to be stubborn and insist I find it, I will, but it IS there. I don't say something without having proof to back it up -.-

Yay. Another thread we agreed on. I was primed and ready for a long debate when I saw you had responded :lol:

I did state it was a fact, that was my opinion. And yes, I'll take your word for it.

Now I feel bad that I didn't back up my post with the fact like I usually did. I quickly found it in the rules. I don't have a link to the newspost, but it's currently in the rules at

3. Is it okay to ask for a boyfriend or girlfriend in the games?

 

 

 

No, that is solicitation and is not allowed at all. This is to ensure the safety of all our players.

 

 

 

Yeah, pretty cut and dried. Thanks for taking my word for it, though - at least it means I have a reputation :)

Okay, BUT I WASN'T ASKING FOR A BOYFRIEND...

Okay, BUT I WASN'T ASKING FOR A BOYFRIEND...

 

Hello, you were going a step beyond that. Read my posts.

[Deathmath]

Err, I don't think it's that bad but then again rules are rules. It probably won't be that bad black-mark wise. Generally I just sit down and shut up when conversation goes in that direction..

 

 

 

HOwever I do feel your frustration at losing an account. :wall:

[Sir_Kurity]

And you lost sense of context. Sorry, but these are real people your talking to, not an animated computer avatar. Try walking up to a female co-worker or student that you've never before seen in your life, and ask them loudly if they want to make babies. See what happens.

 

 

 

Yes, but hes not "randomly" asking to make babies, considering the text of the person he is talking to, ( Confident message, wth? ) Its not out of context.

Notice that it said boyfriend/girlfriend, it's not only one of them. Also, making any sort of sexual reference is against the rules, Rule 1 to be exact. So don't say you don't know what you got in trouble for, it's pretty straight forward.

[NoobelPrize]

God, this thread just sucks now...

 

It was only funny because you can clearly see how much he was breaking the rules, yet I got a mute and 1.5 BM....

 

CHEERS. [bleep].

[SnWRifleman]

Hey you're lucky. This guy asked me what my yahoo I.D was for IM(If you don't know, your Yahoo I.M. ID is your e-mail), and I told him. I got reported by someone and I went from 0-6 blackmarks. Jagex needs to seriously mind their own freakin' business. If I want to tell my e-mail to someone, it's my effin choice, and they aren't responsible for anything. E-mail, back when I got reported for this offense, had nothing to do with the game. They didn't ask for it when you were registering and they didn't care for it. It had nothing to do with the game, yet I got muted for a week and 6 blackmarks, from 0 to straight into the red zone.

 

 

 

How rubbish.

I'm not sure it's sarcasm, but I'm sure as heck hoping it is. You agreed to read the rules, don't be a moron and ignore them.

 

 

 

To protect players' safety and privacy, you must not ask for or give out personal details.

 

Yeah, I'm REALLY hoping that was sarcasm. It was, right?

[Sir_Kurity]

Rules are made to be broken.

[Ravenkana]

Rules are made to be broken.

Except Rules One and Seventeen. You NEVER want to break those. The consequences are... painful.

[Sir_Kurity]

Personally, i think punishments should be appropriate to the rule broken.

 

 

 

Getting 3 blackmarks for asking for an email isnt that bad, i mean so what if you want to contact someone on MSN or something.

 

 

 

You can hardly blame jagex if you end up molested, and if you don't well then its all good.

[warrior5024]

You can hardly blame jagex is you end up molested, and if you don't well then its all good.

 

Ah, but the parents of today are so quick to blame their child's problems on the companies of entertainment and not their own parenting, so Jagex has to keep some rules in place to avoid dealing with these people inside of a Court.

[Sir_Kurity]

Parents are idiots.

 

 

 

Society has to realize this.

[Randox]

Iam going to go off what compfreak said because your evidence is not there. If you asked for a GF, be glad the wrath of Jagex did not come crashing down upon you. Ever beein in f2p lumby, with all the people asking for gfs? Ever seen them all fall silent?

 

 

 

Sometimes you'll see pmods chatting at the same tome, sometimes not. But it seems to me they all take action against this sort of thing, and if Jagex has empowered them to mute it, you can bet that they DO NOT take solicitation lightly. I would expect the Fmods are under a similar mandate.

[Madmanpur3]

Yeah, you're absolutely right. But do you honestly want to give someone a blackmark for this? Explaining this as "sexual harassment" is just pathetic and extremely farfetched. The rules are there to prevent abuse. Not to nail every player possible to more blackmarks.

 

 

 

This just isn't reasonable anymore.

 

 

 

While I agree with your point, stuff like this is inevitable in the legal system. It's important to be consistent, because if they let this guy slide, then they'd have to let the next guy slide who said something just a little worse.

 

 

 

For example, if you are someone who is 47.5 inches tall, you try to go on a ride with a 48 inch requirement, and the employee let's you on because "half an inch is nothing" then the person behind you who is 47 inches tall can use the same argument and be allowed to ride... and the person behind them who is 46.5 can say the same... and so on.

 

 

 

It's a slippery slope so lines must be drawn and enforced.

You do realize that the whole precedence thing doesn't apply to Runescape rules right? Nor does it even apply to all laws in the real world (I'm looking at you traffic laws).

 

 

 

When it comes to offensive language, judgement should be made. Obviously it's not though because they don't have the resources to read through every single report, but still - he is justified in ranting about the mute/blackmark being bs.

[Omali]

What rule did I break?

 

 

 

Rule 1: Offensive Language.

 

 

 

And generally being a pervert over the internet. :shame:

 

 

 

Oh. Thanks...

 

 

 

Nothing personal, but asking people to make "ghost babies". If the shoe fits, try not to get kicked in the shins with it.

I suggest you take a look at the rules and the EULA. Nothing you do on Runescape is "your business", considering you don't even own your own account. Considering you agreed that Jagex could permaban you if any of the rules are broken (read the Terms of Service), you should be glad they just gave you six blackmarks.

[Madmanpur3]

That's like saying you should be glad you aren't permanently banned for no reason...because Jagex could do that according to the ToS.

 

 

 

The Terms of Service aren't there as a guideline, they're there as a catch-all net so that they can just fall back on it if they need to.
