May 21, 200620 yr So when Tip.It messes up or crosses with JAGeX, it gets a legal action threat or a negative publicity right up front in the home page. But how come other popular fansites (rather not name them) who are promoting illegal trade sites all over the place seemed to go unnoticed by JAGeX? :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
May 21, 200620 yr Jagex doesn't read every fansite. Just the major ones like rsc, tip.it and rune hq. Tip.it being the best of course 8-)
May 21, 200620 yr rune hq promotes a money making guide for $5 real money, thats against the rules... well today at 11:30 am 14 years ago i was born.. wo0t!!!At 11:30 you should start holding your head underwater wo0t!!!Stop acting such a moron.
May 21, 200620 yr sites don't control what ads are put up, but they can ask for them to be taken down, this has been said way to much... Click for mah Blog!- I'm not sure why you would though because i never update it Achieved 99 Thieving 3/10/07-992nd to it
May 21, 200620 yr EDIT: Ok, I was right :) It's not a game item. You are allowed to trade irl items for irl items. If it was rs money for rl money it would be illegal, you could get banned but tis is different. Btw, I have been told the guides suck...
May 21, 200620 yr Author One fansite is actually promoting a cash for GP advertisement right up their banner. And jeez, I didn't put any names on my starting post so that it won't get locked. Please, don't mention the sites. Biabf, are you serious? That's.still.illegal. No matter how hard you try to justify it, a 'guide' isn't an in-game item, so it's a real-life item. Understand? :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::

But the thing is, THEY DON'T CONTROL THE ADS, google does. All they can do is request not to have it. Actually, it isn't illegal because, as bia said, you are giving REAL money for a REAL guide. If you paid for it in rs gp, then it would be illegal, but since you aren't, it's perfectly legal. Those guides are crap anyway... (I didn't buy one, but my friend did)
May 21, 200620 yr im wondering the same thing, they could just go type in "runescape cheating" at google and come up with about 30 big fan sites dedicated to autoing and scamming

(I didn't buy one, but my friend did) My memory isn't the greatest but I sure as hell would know if those ads were ever put in here. Sorry about calling the other ad illegal then. I don't know much about paying money to gain RS cash. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
May 21, 200620 yr Go to the advertising sites breaking Jagex rules and then in a query let Jagex be aware of that site so action may be taken against 'em. Make sure to give them a description of what rule they are breaking and also the direct URL to the site. That's what I do when I want something done :P I do not like it when people cheat in the game. ~Aprzepioski
May 21, 200620 yr Author I haven't played the game in a while and the home page is too confusing for me to use. They got rid of the Message Centre thing :| :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
May 21, 200620 yr They didn't get rid of their message center. To read messages from Jagex go to... RuneScape > Read your messages from Jagex And to send a query, go to... RuneScape > Comment on our service > *Select the appropriate topic type* To send a URL to Jagex, complaint would be the appropriate topic type. Enjoy. ~Aprzepioski
May 21, 200620 yr Author Done - sent the message :) Thanks. Why did they make it more confusing, the one before works much better. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
May 21, 200620 yr Wah, you no mention Runevillage. You suck. But anyway, I've noticed a lot of ads popping up here at tipit too. And at RV. The thing is, google ads sponsor us, and we just have google ads, except google finds ads that have similarity to the words on that page. Runescape is a pretty common one. The only Runescape ad you might find on google is autobots and cheating.
May 21, 200620 yr Tip.it and RuneHQ don't control their ads. Thats why Tip.it has a "Report Ad" forum.

Only once have I seen people talking about runevillage, I see talks of tip.it and runehq daily... Hopefully when tip.it gets the item db it will just become tip.it tip.it tip.it :lol:
May 21, 200620 yr Author No, it's not about the ads that can't be controlled, it's about the ones that can be controlled. The ads I showed in my previous post is the type of ads I'm talking about. The admins of those fansites put those ads on purpose knowing that they are against the game rules. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::

Google generates the ads depending on the content of the site. it mentions runescape a lot so it places a runescape advert there...
May 21, 200620 yr If you buy the book on about how to make RS money,it is not illegal,because its not JaGeX property,i report those ads All Quests completed99 Thieving achieved on January 10th, 200899 Defense achieved on August 3rd, 200885 Slayer achieved on July 31st, 20086 Dragon boot drops, 14 Whip drops

May 21, 200620 yr Author Admins don't put them there. Google does. All they can do is complain and get them removed in a few weeks. If this isn't what you mean, sorry. No. The kind of advertisement I'm talking about aren't put on by google, but by the admins themselves. I even asked one of them if the advertisement was put on there by mistake (hint: loot) and they said no. They explained how the cost of servers are too expensive and they need the money from those kind of advertisements to fund the servers. You're talking about Google Adsense advertisements which isn't what I'm talking about. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
May 21, 200620 yr Jesus, Biabf, you're driving Shadowfax up the wall here! :lol: The two banners he posted are not Adsense adverts, but banners that the admins deliberately and knowingly put on. Kapeesh? :P This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
