Hello,

 

We would like to inform you about a small change to our policies here on the forums with regards to the Runescape Cache. Previously we have disallowed all discussion and images posted from the Runescape cache, although were often lenient on enforcing this rule.

 

We have decided to allow images from the Runescape Cache on our forums, this means you're free to post them without any action being taken against you. However, you may NOT discuss how to obtain these images from the cache and any images must not contain any of the programs used to achieve this. Asking for or providing instructions on how to obtain images from the cache is strictly prohibited and will be taken seriously if you're found doing so.

 

These new rules will be enforced immediately.

 

• 
   
  
• Images from the Runescape Cache will be allowed as long as they do not contain any information regarding how to obtain these (program names etc.).
  
• You can NOT discuss how these were obtained and asking for or providing instructions on this is strictly prohibited.
  

 

Thank you,

The Tip.It Administrative team.

One thing: AWESOME

 

I was a bit tired of someone finding something sneaky in the cache (like Dungeoneering batch 2 bosses and items) and then removing them minutes/hours later. :thumbup:

Thats a +1 tif, you actually listen unlike jagex.

Ummm I don't know what the cache is, and I'm not asking how to get stuff (since I don't really care) but why is it illegal? Do you like "hack" the game or something? Lol.

It's hacking the Runescape cache which is on your computer, famous for containing images of unreleased content, namely 3D models.

 

 

 

Just make sure you follow the rules and everything will be k.

Oh lmao. I thought like google cached runescape which is why I was confused so much. That makes a lot more sense.

Sounds good.

Thumbs up.

Cool Cache

I don't see how its going to make a difference to people doing it, if I wanted to try and find out how to access the cache I would type the search terms 'how to find the cache on runescape'.

Glad to see this. The timing made me smile a bit too.

You could search "how to make a bomb" on Google too, but do you think its going to be allowed here? Try to think before you type.

I like it. :)

 

Never wanted/gone into the cache, but like seing pictures of stuff from it.

It's having something retrieve publicly available content from the Runescape cache.

Fixed that for you. It's not hacking. Not even close. ;). It's not like decompiling, reverse engineering, bypassing security, memory editing. :P.

 

Think about it this way: If I have a program on my PC which stores it's resource images in a temporary folder.. If I go and open that folder to see the images and files, it aint hackin'. ;).

I don't understand why you'd get punished for asking how to get into the cache if posting what's inside the cache is allowed.

Probably because it would do more harm than good. Some users could get tricked into downloading malicious software disguised as the real program, and there's really no quick way to monitor it (staffies are already pretty busy) so probably the safest way would be to avoid it altogether. If they were truly interested, Google would probably offer a plethora of information available at their perusal.

 

Great to see a change in this rule though, always though it was odd.. guess you could say the updated policy...

 

 

is pretty CACHE.

Did you decide to change the rules from people discussing it in the thread about tip.it being rated as a platinum fansite?

Precisely. :)

Goodness no, this was being discussed for at least a week (and most likely more prior to that!) before your topic was even posted. :)

Isn't the real reason because it's against the terms & conditions? -.-

No, it's not.

 

This change wouldn't have been made if it violated Jagex's ToC or rules.

jagex confirmed to us that it's not a banable offense nor is it reverse engineering.
