Sumpta Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 This may have been suggested before: Jagex should look specifically for player mods that speak languages different from English (of course, they should be fluent in English as well). Yesterday, I was on a Dutch server for a change, and I remembered why I never go to them, even though they should be the fastest for me: people are cussing, arguing and calling each other the worst possible names. I was really shocked by the things people were saying and I'm not that easily shocked. But you can't report them. Jagex is doing so much effort to make sure people don't break the rules, but non-native speakers can just do so at leisure. Of course, it's impossible to have mods from every language zone, but once you install a server or two in a certain zone, I think Jagex should include mods to make safe these areas. Maybe they do so, but I've yet to see them on the Dutch servers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahlwinnie Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 You are totaly right on that one also shy away from the dutch server because of that and it is really hard to report altho I have done it (or tried) for being called , well don't want to get banned here, but where not really nice sexist and rasist remarks. Strangest thing is that the filter will not allow totaly normal dutch words because the slightly look like "dirty" english words, but will allow the most disgusting curses in dutch So language specific mods would end that, all for it Or....is it just us dutchmen being disgusting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumpta Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Or....is it just us dutchmen being disgusting Being Flemish myself, I won't argue with that point :mrgreen: Nah, the English speaking Runescapers would act exactly the same as the Dutch rulebreakers if there wasn't the filter and/or the threat of getting reported. The Dutch Servers (as well as the Norwegian ones I guess) are just sort of lawless. Problem is, nobody cares, save a very small part of the RS community. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyla Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Wow I guess not everyone knows that Jagex covers non-English reports too..and Dutch happens to be one of it. If you see someone cussing in Dutch or in a language you can understand (just be sure it's really offensive :P), report it. And there are a lot of Dutch player mods.

Sumpta Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 And there are a lot of Dutch player mods. Then I guess they don't spend a lot of time on the Dutch servers. I'm sorry, but it's really horrible. I know there are players who are made mod and speak Dutch, but I doubt they are 'language specific' mods, which means that a lot of them don't even use the Dutch servers. (And who could blame them.) Good thing about the reporting though. Had no idea Jagex could look into those reports as well. A lot of players have no idea it's possible though, most are afraid to get black marks themselves for reporting. As a result, there does seem to be a sense of lawlessness on the Dutch servers.

unknowable Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I'm Dutch myself, and spend a lot of time on Dutch servers. I agree, there are sooooo many name-callers (sp?) and they're just rotten apples. If you don't know something what's said on a Dutch server, I mostly know it, so you could pm me on RS.

The_Gabe Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 man. The gavorment or Jegex needs to make the rules made out of steel so it would be hard to brake them :lol: :lol: Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

dahlwinnie Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I don't know if making the rules tougher would stop these (thinking of a good word here) .... verbally colourful people. And I know the reason why I don't report 9 out of 10 times is that I don't want to be marked as an "will report for nothing" player. I only report if it really hurts my feelings, and seeing that I work in a nightclub and am used to drunken dutchmen being...well men i guess :wink: That doesn't happen often, but more often then I would like, so I do tent to not log in on those servers. Thinking about it it's really a sad thing that they can keep me from doing what I want because of the ruined game-play on the dutch severs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
