Final_Cross Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 oh my god!!!! i thought i knew the rules front to back and vice versa, i even stoped using swiftswitch the day andew found out about it fearing the banned hand of jagex! but i have been breaking the rules and you might be doing the same. A STRANGER CAN GET YOU BANNED EASY FOR THIS! just ask a player where they live and if they know the rules (the rule being you cant ask for personal information) you could get banned!!! :shock: do jagex want us to turn players in this way?

blakdragon39 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 You couldn't have known the rules that well if you didn't know that asking for personal info was illegal... I thought that was almost a kind of common sense thing :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysam202 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 wait, i remember when the update came out... it said that it was ok to ask like ages and stuff. but it is asking for specific personal details off people you dont really know. such as you can ask like the country and possibly which city. not like asking road names etc. atleast that's what i remember...

ogloc219 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I already knew that you couldn't ask someone where they live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysam202 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 besides i never tend to ask, because i dont like to pressurise people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narakia_1 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think the rule is for very specific things like last name or town. Often players can guess where you live by what server you frequently visit or the times you play. I don't mind if a friend asks the country I live in, but when random strangers start asking for info, it's really annoying and I report them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysam202 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 yeah i have no problem with people asking me where i live along as it isnt road or something like. but yeah i report if i dont know em like they just added me out of the blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazyck Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 i believe this is to stop people from guessing password recoveries.... or who knows, perhaps they just dont want people getting together so they can build a giant robot to build a giant magnifying glass that said giant robot can use to "magnify" the sun's rays in order to create a beam of light and heat to cook a pot roast. 1543 Skill total, 100% F2P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shexy_Dave Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Harsh to be banned for asking where someone lives or their age. Surely by definition that's how you get to know anyone. You work out who they are, where they are from and gradually bit by bit you know who they are and what they are about. Surely its more important that someone doesn't feel pressurised into giving away personal information. Eg, if I was asked where I lived and I didn't want to say, then if I said No, then that's when they should not ask further. If they asked again and again then I think it pushes further into breaking the rules. Protect people but allow a community to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shade_bandyt Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 what you can get banned for "hi, where r u frm?" "do you go to school?" "today's your birthday? how old are you today? "what job do you do?" "what time is it?" "are u m or f?" friends dont let friends be friendly Are you a member with a full bank and cancelling your subscription?

Giordano Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I've almost never asked anyone about spiccfic details. I know my friends lives, the states not specific streets. You'll only get banned if you ask like their phone number or address. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

axel_phx Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think is the most stupid rule How you can start a community without knowing something about the other? Hey.. you always can lie.. Whats your name? Andrew! , Where are you from? Tangamaldapio.. How old are you? 500 years.. Are you male or female? I dont sure.. :roll: What is the problem with this kind of questions? If the asked doesnÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôt want to respond, well.. simple ingore the question.. or lie.. Whatever.. The rules are rules.. and are maked to break it.. :twisted: But well.. here, at Tip.IT , some admin edited my signature and tells me is not allowed to put a real photo of me.. I cant imagine why.. IÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôm not so ugly!! Well.. just follow the rules.. or change to other game.. or forum.. simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think you're more likely to get banned for harrying for a phone number, direction to someone's house etc rather than say, for example: "Were u frm?" "Tx" "O rly?" "Ya rly. Upstate" "lol kool." This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergoten23 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think this rule is more directed at people asking for exact locations and phone numbers, someone that I know of was banned for selling peoples phone numbers lol (and he got what he should have)... but i have been reported for some really stupid things, someone asks me how old I am, I tell them 17, then I ask the same thing in return and get reported lol, im not banned for that yet, only for "advertising websites", which for some reason I don't recall doing :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblin11 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Rule 13 Asking for personal details For our players' privacy and safety, you must not ask for personal contact details such as full name, home address or telephone number from another player. Our player's privacy and safety are extremely important to us and something we take very seriously. Of course we are not going to ban players if you ask, for example someone's first name and the country they live in. We fully understand this happens quite a lot in RuneScape and is part of making friends in the game. This rule instead refers to not asking players for details sufficient to locate them in real-life. Understandably some people can be upset or feel threatened by this sort of questioning, so please don't do it. We would also recommend to all of our players to that you read the Play Safely guide in the Rules and Security section of the website. There is very little cause for concern. 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peche Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I knew a player moderator and he sayed one time to me that ye only can get banned if ye were multiple reported. So one time of one person is not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverchipmunk Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 There is one problem with this rule. Often, when I am talking with friends I know irl, it might sound like I'm breaking this rule. And if I actually am, the rule is flawed. But I do suppose I wouldn't be reported by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarfie76 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Why would you be asking where someone was from anyway? It's not like it's any of your business and I fail to see why you would even care. It's more inane than asking people what their mining level is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peche Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Well we dutch (like myself) sometimes like to know were other dutch ppl live (Netherlands or Belgium). When they are from Belgium the Netherlands sometimes don't understand wat they say because they speak dialect. And if we know where they'r from Belgians just speak like they do every day and otherwyse they don't. And also some Belgians hate Netherlands and vice versa too.:? Its strange but it is so.:( They even have jokes off each others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
