So my kid was banned!

[I_am_Not]

>OP claims their kid was banned

>OP also claims said kid is female

 

yeah this is going places

[ixfd64]

For the record, Dirtydevil has been playing RS since 2011. I don't think such a seasoned veteran would be going around making up lies.

[Sir_Squab]

I wouldn't want my kids playing RS, that's for sure.

Why not?

 

Its kinda like introducing your kids to crack. Except without the ability to OD and no v&

 

This is by far the best thing this thread has come up with. Siggied.

 

@ Above: How could you possibly know when he started playing? Judging by his stats (assuming they are legit) he's been playing for like 5+ years in all likelyhood.

DD was probably a kid (roughly) when he started playing, hence wanting to share it with his kids. I understand the feeling

That's not near enough time to have started playing when he was only a kid, unless his kid is like 3 years old and playing RS.

Problem is, that Jagex doesn't ban bots.

Yes it does.

What an irresponsible parent to allow your 10 year old on the interwebs. #-o

 

This is the most ignorant reaction I've seen in a long time. My little brother has been gaming since he was 6 and all I can say he's a normal teenager who speaks English better than I do, thx to the internet.

I don't know why you pour oil on the fire this man started but it's childish and doesn't show any empathy at all. Sad...

 

Ontopic: I think the reactions are rather negative towards this concerned father. It seems his whole family plays and he did take measures (like the kids not being able to run/install [Caution: Executable File]'s) to protect his

kids (and their accounts). I don't understand why people keep saying his daughter might have botted anyway since you obviously need external software for it, and since it's impossible to install it

unless you're admin, I feel it's wrong to keep repeating the same rubbish. I feel for this father and hope the problem can be solved. Can't help much more than just saying: all the best!

[Bxpprod]

More trolls ITT than in Trollheim.

 

Jus' sayin'

Kid is relative I suppose. I didn't mean <10

[das]

for what it's worth

 

I've known Dirtydevil since I Started way back in 2001 . He's not a troll and one of the few guys in the game that i've known who has always been a class act. I've got a lot of respect for him. I could realistically see him telling his kid to not talk to people, for fear they may be like fook a ji! And I don't really blame him :P

 

If I remember, I asked fook a ji for advice in mining in 2001, and he told me to google something that came back with explicit pornography - He had a point, it was more interesting than mining.

I don't even have to assume to know you troll in every single topic on Tip.It forums. Have been paying attention to what you post lately and it's always the same.

You react in a scepting, negative way towards people no matter what their opinion/post content is. You have no intention at all to add something decent and you seem to be happy to always be on the opposite side of what people complain about. This concerned parent complains about something and you say he's responsible because his kid probably did something wrong. You judge without having any reason and tbh I think you enjoy annoying people... People who enjoy other people's sadness are called sadists. Which makes me wonder...

 

Besides: you think every person on here is American since you post a national US law? LOL

[Helm_Lardar]

All I have to say is consider this:

 

Would you rather your child got turned off of online gaming because of this incident,

 

OR

 

Becomes one of those people that does nothing with their lives but play games (like me)

 

 

 

Believe me, I may know very little about parenting but I know plenty about throwing your life a way to gaming, she is much better off without Runescape.

 

Just my opinion though.

 

 

No, that's simply not true. The safest way to assure that B doesn't happen is to introduce them to it yourselves, let them enjoy it, and let them see it as a reward. If they start in secret and enjoy it guiltily they are much more likely to abuse it or get addicted.

 

What's my case in point? Alcohol. Most adults I know would agree that the safest way to avoid someone abusing alcohol is to introduce it in a social, healthy context such that they learn to enjoy it responsibly, not to ban it and avoid ever talking about it or introducing it to the child. That means they'll get introduced to it by their friends, get drunk, possibly get seriously ill and potentially have real difficulty that they need not have experienced.

 

Then think of botting as smoking. Again, enjoyable but this time it's destructive and will get you banned if, as you certainly will be at one point, you are not careful. Not introducing a child to botting is fine, so long as you let them know their account will be banned.

 

Now to those of you calling troll: WTF? Almost every time I go on a forum about something slightly more emotional than usual, I see people say it must be a troll. Firstly, I don't see why you can't just trust people, and secondly, the troll would have nothing to gain if you all just responded in a normal, nice manner. There'd be no harm done. However, you do make yourself look like a complete [bleep] if you call troll. You assume people wouldn't open up on a forum just because you won't.

 

As for the poster: Wow. I'm sorry. I don't really have any advice to offer you, since I don't know how to contact Jagex. However, there is a section on the Jagex website which is aimed at parents, I think, so you might want to look at that.

Sceptic, thanks for correcting my spelling while English is my third language. I'd love to see how you write a decent, well phrased comment in a foreign language without the space to make a small error once in a while.

Arrogance? Yes indeed...

So because he didn't know that it is your third language, he's arrogant and deserves to be flamed?

[Stev]

Also rules do say no afking just an fyi

Funny, I recall when they upped the auto-log out timer, they said there was nothing wrong with AFKing. I can click a tree and go make dinner. I did the one action that was needed to cut that tree. I don't need to sit and watch.

Except it's not a misspelling. You didn't spell it "sceptic" or "skeptik," you said "scepticing," you used an adjective as a verb, which would be like me myself referring to someone as "blancing" because he was being a showoff at the gym. As for arrogance, the only arrogant person here is you because you apparently acknowledge that you don't speak three languages 100% fluently (and who would? I speak English, ASL sign language, and a mixture of Russian/Croatian and mess up on those), yet your attitude on improvement is apparently "[bleep] that." That's arrogance, and incredibly rude, and the fact that you immediately jumped down my throat and used the "third language" bit as some kind of race card would be like someone accusing me of criticizing them over the internet because they were black, a factor I'd also not be able to see.

 

Also I didn't know English was your third language, given you know terms like troll, sadist, how to effectively use English abbreviations like tbh, the correct use of the "theres," and correct use of possession and suffix placement. You sure do know how to assault someone like you know fluent English, let's see you make a constructive post in the same manner now.

[Nomrombom]

Hey Omali how are you being?

 

:wink:

[Ember]

[muuuuuuuuuu]

That sucks, Dirtydevil, but there's not much we can do to help.

As said, email is probably the best way to go about resolving the issue.

 

btw she can't bot because she has no permissions on her pc to even run an executable unless I allow it.

Bots are not EXE files. Lol. They are JAR files. Thus, your permission is not needed.

Just FYI, botting software could be written in Java and distributed in JAR archives, written in any of a number of languages and distributed as an executable binary, or written in any number of languages and distributed in source form for later compilation or to be run through an interpreter... just like software for most other purposes. Maybe the one's you've come to know and love fit the first description, but there's no reason they all should.

Sounds like we have a pro botter here!

</sarcasm>

[cabbage]... Mu blew my cover...

 

;P.

[Crocefisso]

Ok this is [cabbage] my kids account was banned yesterday for botting. Thing is I told her to never talk to anyone in this game for any reason because I don't want perverts hitting on her! btw she can't bot because she has no permissions on her pc to even run an executable unless I allow it. Anyone else having this problem? I'm seriously thinking of canceling my membership and all my kids including my wifes this is [cabbage]. I mean I get there is a botting problem but these mods have gone to far. But they seem to ignore the gambling and sexual crap that's going on in the game on a daily basis.

 

:lol:

 

Top class comedy.

 

"Thing is I told her to never talk to anyone in this game for any reason because I don't want perverts hitting on her! " - granted this happens on the internet, but on RS? Seriously? The place where you can change the gender of your player at the click of a button and personal information is only given out by the player if they want to. Sorry, but unless your daughter is totally lacking in basic common sense, I don't think you need to worry. Sounds to me more like a middle class paranoia than a concern grounded in logic.

 

"But they seem to ignore the gambling and sexual crap that's going on in the game on a daily basis." - Once again, I think you're being hypersensitive. Sexual crap? Really? I wouldn't call some little kid typing "(.)" or whatever as 'sexual'.

 

If you want to cancel your membership, go ahead, but I wouldn't be so overbearing as to cancel everyone in your family's memberships. The fact is, if your daughter was banned because a J-Mod believed her to be a Bot - because she is under orders from yourself to stay quiet because the Mod might be a pervert - then you shouldn't be surprised. It's like a smoker being surprised that they've got emphysema.

 

Just chill and let your kid have a little bit of freedom. That includes letting her talk on RS; for all but a moronic few, talking on RS does not end in rape or any other such atrocity.

OP is seriously the best troll, LOL.
