Ghost-Knigth Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I must say it is pathetic that Jagex changes their mind just like this. Does not say a lot for them. Large masses of idiotic "protestors" spamming and evading the censor should not justify "constructive criticism". Very disappointed with Jagex's choice today. I think it is great that Jagex did listen to the scapers. 99 ranged | 99 magic | 99 defence | 99 hitpointsRemember, it's just a gameFeel free to add me on RS. :) Always ready for a chat.

Doughnut Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Large masses of idiotic "protestors" spamming and evading the censor should not justify "constructive criticism". Finally found another decent sig quote. ------ Listening to the masses of players that were protesting isn't anywhere close to constructive. What happened to the days of old, when Rule 7 was enforced so strictly that more than half of the players were banned for that particular rule...? When those people started spamming and swearing immediately temporary bans should have been placed on anyone who talked recently. then they should have weeded through everything banning all of those people who broke the rules. If you were there and did not do anything, I DON'T CARE. Ever heard one of Aesop's fables? No? let me tell you a particular one: There was a farmer whose crops were being eaten and destroyed. So one day he set up a trap and catches a bunch of ravens, in the bunch there was also a stork. The stork pleaded for his life saying he had a family and friends, and that he didn't do anything. The farmer responded with "You were in there company, so you will receive the same fate as they do". Now that isn't perfect, word for word copy of the fable, but I hope you get the gist of it. If you were stupid enough to go down there with those people then you should have at least been temp punished.

I'll make this plain and simple for all to understand: SS was NOT illegal before the rules were modified. Jagex changed there mind, it is still illegal currently Strider is working on an update for the program (due out this weekend) which will be legal. Jagex would not deal out bans to people for protesting and ranting. They have a rants board for a reason. I'm glad that Jagex listened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Exkarotis Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 So..this strider is gonna change ss so that it will be legal? Has jagex confirmed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kewl_Sabre Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Wow, I can't believe they changed it. I guess that the mass protests on 27 and 81, as well as the massive amount of anger on every RS forum (especially the official one) probably had something to do with it. Kudos to Strider, who I think negotiated the changes that had to be made to SS to make it legal again. Who knew that massive, roudy rioting in the streets of RuneScape actually worked. :? I'm not sure if that bodes good or bad for the future of the game. Interesting implications anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuff1 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Rule 7 and Rule 9 Updated (again!) Following yesterday's update to Rule 7 and Rule 9 , we have tweaked them both a bit more - to take into account some constructive feedback and thoughts we've had on the matter. Thanks to the people who have been helping us get these right rather than just ranting at us! Particularly our thanks to Strider. We believe the latest revision is still just as good at protecting our users, which is very important to us, but is also less restrictive (which is also important to us!). Please take the time to re-read both rules and make sure you fully understand them. Thanks. Of course, having said all that we should remind everyone that downloading third party RuneScape programs is potentially extremely dangerous and still not at all recommended. Please be aware that there are programs out there which claim to be a cool RuneScape add-on, but actually install a keylogger on your computer and steal your password! You should also be aware that there are such programs around that won't necessarily be spotted by your anti-virus software. Scanning downloads is, of course, a very good idea but it still doesn't 100% eliminate the risk. Is it legal or illegal? Hard to tell from this.
