Rednik Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I just went to check the rules when I saw this Rule 15. I've never seen it before and its about that you shouldn't block the ads over the runescape window on F2P worlds. Here's the page All I can say is OOPS! :-w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohto Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 1 word: P2p :P Jagex has always stated that they don't like ad blockers. Only thing that surprises me is that they introduced this rule this late. I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednik Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 Well, They can't really detect if I see the ad or not. And yea, I got a little suprised that there was a new rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Yes, this rule is really pretty late... Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednik Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 But you can't get banned for blocking the ads... They can't even detect it. It's such a weird rule that you can break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rienkrules Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I always do right-mouse click. => Low quality. And then I zoom in and in and in and in. That way it doesent couse lag. And it doesent kill the add. It just makes it smaller and doesent couse lag. My sig was for 6kb too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umega Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 The only way you can really get banned for this, is if you admit to blocking them in-game. No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast647 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 The only way you can really get banned for this, is if you admit to blocking them in-game. exactly what i was gonna say :wink: Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak722 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 That's not enough evidence. But that hasn't stopped them from banning people for stupid reasons in hte past. :-k The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warned Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Saying it ingame wouldn't get you banned, nobody can report you for it. (check the report window, no rule 15 there) The secret of creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaaps1 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Saying it ingame wouldn't get you banned, nobody can report you for it. (check the report window, no rule 15 there) They can report yo for someething else and when Jagex looks at the report they'll see that you amitted to blocking ads. ~It's Super Effective!

hohto Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 They can ban you (or give a warning) you for admitting ad blocking in game. It's the same thing if you admit char sharing, say like with your family member or so. Of course ad blocking isn't as bad "crime" as that, but same thing. They really don't need to detect anything if they got your word about it. I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_D_G_E_1039 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 This rule is not new. Has been around for months. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeroh Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 i never check the rules. an i thought there were only 13 rules :-k oh well, the ads don't really do anything, it doesn't make me lag or anything like that so i don't really care Retired from runescape. I will be on every now and then though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randox Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Its mroe of a request than a rule if you read it. /the reason is that those banner ads pay for f2p, companies pay to have there ads appear there. If the companies find out that everyone blocks those banner ads, bye bye f2p runescape. And I am NOT joking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no_username4 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 It depends on your ad blocking method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznmidget448 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I think Jagex did this just to satisfy the companies who have their ads on the page. I doubt they actually care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 It makes them money, they dont want potentiol money making oppertunities taken away by people "blocking adverts" De_Pk - Level 117 - Banned September 30th '06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaquierming Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 All I can say is OOPS! :-w LOL! It's an old rule, though. And it is there for the reasons already stated.

D. V. Devnull Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 ATTENTION ALL: Check "Rule 15" versus the lower parts of the "Terms+Conditions" Page. Due to the fact that Adverts can cause (and in a number of cases have done) damage to a PC, "Rule 15" can't take effect because of Jagex's statement of being "Not Liable" for damages to Your Computer and/or Your Data, else Jagex must be "Liable" because they are trying to force you to do something harmful to Your Computer and/or Your Data. Also, in the situation of kids playing at home who have parents that have a "No Adverts Allowed" Rule, "Rule 15" also has no effect here due to the fact that the person playing RuneScape is not on a PC where they can prevent the Adverts from being blocked. Put simply, "Rule 15" is a "Catch-22" that can't be obeyed by everyone out there. Worse, how they have done it is not legal. You can't "Illegally Entrap" a person who is playing. :shame: Oh, and for those who would argue "Don't play then!", keep in mind, it is those playing on F2P who are even maintaining any entry point for new potential P2P'ers. :wink: ~Mr. D. V. Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
