demonfirzen Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Last night was a pretty normal night for me, training range at Fire Giants (I was getting close to 70 range). I logged out to get a snack, when I tried to log back in I got the disabled account message. I thought: Well it cant be too serious, I have no black marks. Oh no..oh god. PERM BANNED. For what?! advertising websites!?! All I did was tell a guy to go to Tip.it for quest help. Of corse I appeal the ban. DENIED. This is a new low for Jagex. Now for the warning! Jagex auto-perm bans anyone that types in a url in a private message. This is also a goodbye to the friends and foes I made here. No more Runescape, no more addiction. Sayonara! EDIT!!!: I apealed it a few times and I got it down to a 3 day ban! Thanks for the support everyone!! If you need help in-game pm me. Jagex realised this is my first ban, unlike before.

All_Bogs Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Did they give the Tip.It part as snapshot evidence, too? If so, that's ridicilous, since it's mentioned as a "safe site" to Pmods.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagatag Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Wtf is jagex on? Oh well, this is why I don't public chat on rs unless I'm buying/selling stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripzone Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 omfg thats pretty low from jagex.. I started playing World of Warcraft last week, AWESOME game dude, try it and see if you like it. At least there, you can say [cabbage], [bleep], url's, and they don't block it. You have an option where you can block it or not, it's our choice. EDIT: cabbage? rofl, you understand what i meant :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peronix Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Thanks a million for the warning, man. I might have lost my account (horrified look). I tell people about this site whenever I tire of their constant questions. Fortunatly it's been awhile. And, sorry about your account man. I never though Jagex would sink to the grumpy level as Disney did long ago. About that, my sister told me a story about how her friend on VMK (virtual magic kingdom) got permanantly banned for attempting to bypass the word filer, which stupidly enough filters out numbers. Another one of her friends got permanantly banned for jokingly saying she was staff. Then the 200-250 friends she had (she was well known apparantly) protested ingame. Then a staff member appeared and threatened to permanatnly ban all of them if they didn't stop. Every part of this story is true, or at least is as accurate as what she told me. Okay, mabye Jagex isn't this bad, but this is definatly a step in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValaraZ Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 * is jagex on? Oh well, this is why I don't public chat on rs unless I'm buying/selling stuff. It was on private msg... That's really low of them. Sorry to hear your loss :( Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant: "If I live, I will kill you, If I Die, you are forgiven." Such is the Rule of Honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iglw Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 They should designate official fansites. It's not like Tip.it and the rest of them are big secrets anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValaraZ Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 They should designate official fansites. It's not like Tip.it and the rest of them are big secrets anyways. They are thinking about it. read that on some FAQ at mainsite. Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.

Suliman101 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 i was concerned about this seeing how tip.it listed homeworlds on the main page. i thought, isnt that advertising websites violation of the rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaScape Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I hope Andrew's attention gets drawn to this topic. I'd like to hear what Jagex has to say as well Zorro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1_dark_jedi Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 that sucks. thanks for the warning though. i always tell people about tip.it. ill have to stop now i guess =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkieman Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 that is harsh, especially for the guy you PMed to report you. I'd say find a contact address and snail mail andrew telling him how much his employees suck. I never say the .it on the end anymore, i always just mention tip and hope they know what I mean. I've seen pmods say websites themselves though, its just not clear where the boundaries are on the issue :(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
