This was a half-baked fix to a broken forum system.

 

Rather than getting a decent forum package that could sustain their activity and help]. them enforce a minimum quality in posts by enforcing their own rules, they split up the community so they don't have to worry about so many people.

 

I'm more than a little upset. I suppose if this is the first step they have to take to fixing their systems, it's all well and good...but if this is any indication on how they intend to solve these issues...Well, RIP RSOF.

 

The 50+ page monster still exists, spam is still abundant, trolling is a given, there's no effective way to report rule breaking posts, and so on. This fixes almost nothing.

 

 

I still think the main problem is the last thing you touched upon. They have no effective way of reporting spam. When i last went there, there was just a thread you would post in and copy/paste the Qfc of the thread with spam. That is hugely insufficient and many probably do not even know of that and think there is just no way of reporting.

 

I think it would benefit Jagex to have a full forum conversion to another software, or to upgrade their own which they use, just to at least to create a report function. A mass forum clean out is what is needed and to then keep it clean.

It's frustrating as hell that I have to search the forums for my suggestion thread because it doesn't show up under my profile...

 

Also, I am not getting any feedback at all for my Construction Improvements thread.... Nice going, Jagex...

 

Now there's zero chance in hell that any of my suggestions will ever be noticed by them. :roll:

SWAG

 

Mayn U wanna be like me but U can't be me cuz U ain't got ma swagga on.

On the plus side, most of the people who used the forums before we're the sort of people you wanted to strangle through the internet with your hands while kicking them in the nuts (with your feet). With some misplaced optimism we can hope all the [wagon]'s leave and the people who come to replace them are less whiny.

I think before this they REALLY need to introduce things such as "report for spam" and "quote" systems. And take a REALLY hard line on persistent spammers, 6 month bans things like that.

 

They claim the forums are some of the busiest in the world, yet they're practically in the dark ages in terms of technology and the ability for a poster to customise their posts, signatures profiles etc. They made a slight headway with the in-game chat head but since then nothing.

Talking to Mod Poppy on the F-Mod forums, apparently the Future Updates forum is "on the top of her list" to pass on to the forum devs, but that it will take "a huge show of support" for it to come back.

 

I have to say, I'm pissed. Future Updates was one of the few good RSOFsections and now they want us to just post in General?

No direct affect on me since I only use RSOF for Canada's penguin threads. I can see how this will for one, confuse a lot of people, and two, frustrate and put a lot of people off from using them again.

 

Long live TIF!

 

I also pretty much just use it for her threads. (Being called a troll elsewhere for daring to like something Jagex did has kinda put me off wanting to do anything with the rest of the forums. <_< )

If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.

My thread ranting about gop was deleted... it had 40+ supporters.

I'm guessing this makes it easier for Jagex to sort through and ignore F2P. Good fight, jagex.

 

Nothing wrong with that. Better then ignoring P2P.[sarcasm]

 

A lot of threads got deleted. Deal with it. They aren't picking on you.

They changed that to teamwork, judging the stickies it has. However they forgot to add the ability to create topics in there, so every one seems to be using tactics as the old pvm forum right now.

High-alching that REALLY expensive item in my inventory looks more and more tempting with every beer I drink.

What I wanna know is how Smellysocks missed out on posting the Dungeoneering update.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also so this post won't be deleted, I personally think this forum idea is awful. I think they need to find a better way so as they said topics aren't lost however, this wasn't it.

I'm pretty surprised they did this, actually, they were talking about some big forum update coming this year and I was expecting the ability to post pictures, bold, underline, etc.

 

All this update is doing is breaking up the RuneScape community into different groups based on your skills, which I thought Jagex were trying to get away from. Also, I'm very surprised off-topic isn't one of the global forums, seems a little silly in my opinion.

 

Doesn't affect me though as I prefer TIF :grin:

RIP Michaelangelopolous

u can control my tip it account, but youll never control how fine i am!
