A James Franco meme (first time) got me banned from a platform once as the mods interpreted it as a suicide threat (meme posted in reply to something had had virtually nothing to do with any debatable issue, I think it was a car problem or something).

That "First time?" meme, standing on the gallows?

Kings, I believe that meme stems from the Maurice Ogden poem "The Hangman" Don't ever think the reason I am peaceful is because I do not know how to be violent.

Yes, that one.

It may not be from a movie, that's just an assumption as the guy looks like James Franco lol. I don't know the origin of the image. Only that it's a popular meme, I used it in response to a friend's complaint, and got banned for threatening to unalive myself xD Submission for review took weeks and was denied.

As a person who loves conspiracy theories allow me to provide one.

Imagine all online games start killing forums and they ALL make a switch to reddit/discord. This will force all people to use these platforms. But why? Why join a place that is known to be a place for hateful incels to lurk around and thrives off negativity? This is something only a follower of
Zamorak
would want!

(I am saying this as an ex incel myself, so I can speak on these issues.)

Picture this, you come home from a long hard days of work to play your favorite game, you encounter a problem or something that leads you to go on reddit/discord. Now one thing about these breeding grounds for negativity is, someone will always be offended by something even if its not meant to offend anyone. And BOOM now suddenly your already hard day just got harder cause you just got banned for no reason. There's a reason why discord mods and reddit mods have one of the worst reputations online. Its cause most of them are on a power trip worse than a racist cop targeting a marginalized group of people. They get bullied in school or in life and they come home and take their frustrations out on innocent players because that's the only place where they have any power or any say.

This one move is the true beginning of RuneScape's demise.

I got curious enough that I searched it up, and it is indeed James Franco, in the movie The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

1337 - As someone who was bullied all through middle and highschool I agree lmao. That's what infused troll DNA into my own blood, though my power trip phase was moderation on Urban Dictionary and the guild I led on WoW LOL. But yes I know some exceptionally disgusting things about a few folks with authority in the RS3 Discord which is why I refuse to join it. I never used Reddit much; actually I think I only logged into it once or twice when I published my first book lol. I've heard plenty of moderation abuse stories from there, though.

Kings - ahhh okay. I used to want to watch it because...James Franco. Now I don't want to because... James Franco. <.<

The OSRS subreddit was what had me delete my main Reddit account. I went from what I'd like to think was pretty civil discourse, to a negative, angry troll all because of that subreddit, realized it, and deleted my account to I guess cover-up that behavior. And every time I came back to Reddit (10+ accounts), that behavior came back. It was addicting, and Reddit seemingly made it all too easy before they started shadowbanning me. Now I just carry a little of that behavior to other platforms, but I'm working on improving that. The RS forums rants section was kind of nice to blow-off steam and also not have it visible to people not logged-in.

Reddit turned my online personality into something I now despise, and I want to see it and X disappear to not continue funneling this behavior. I can totally see myself like a cartoon villain that tries to wipe-out all social media, and I'd have the righteous cause to back it up too :p 2007scape would be at the top of the reasoning list, along with Jagex, the host of my favorite video game, buckling to cater to those cesspits.

Heh, vote for me for a return to old-school Xfire, TeamSpeak, Ventrilo, phpBB/IPB forum software, and decentralized ActivityPub social networks :p

Yes! Reddit is like a disease that takes all your negative emotions and makes it 100x worse in turn, turning one into a troll that becomes limitless in the art of trolling, one that knows no bounds. This eventually changes the person who is doing the trolling's personality in a disgusting way. You will become more hateful of your fellow humans and jump at every opportunity to put someone who you don't even know or who hasn't done anything to you, down. It is a dark deep hole of self loathing, self pitying, self hating, and hating everything around you, not taking any accountability of your own actions and self victimizing mindset of a true loser. I will never be that person again.
My lowest point was blowing up at a 13 year old little girl for not believing me when i told her im not the imposter. I was all like "You stu*** fu***** bit** I f*ck**g told you it was the other guy whos the killer you du*b f**kin*, how can you be so *uck*** d*mb?"

Well, there's always the GameFAQs message boards.
Yeah, *that* forum. It has been abandoned, but if y'all move there, you can have the long-form conversations you want. I don't even know if it's modded anymore.

If all else fails, just move to 4chan lmao.

Reddit has its problems, but as a direct response to the original post of the thread I found it pretty funny. Your internalized view of Reddit moderators of gaming subreddits is how I and thousands of others saw most of the green crowns here.

I've been playing since 2001 but they somehow all seem way older than me. And they happily plod along for decades enforcing Jagex's draconian forum policies. Whether it's the fault of the Fmods or they were "just following orders", they directly contributed to the death of the forums.

The reason /r/RuneScape and /r/2007scape originally exploded in popularity is in large part due to the moderation here . Gaming discussion in general on Reddit started to get really popular in 2011 from Skyrim hype after Skyrim was announced in December 2010.

That's kind of the era I stopped using the RSOF as much. When Old School RuneScape released that was it for the forums. There was a small forum resurgence, but it utterly died after the Grand Exchange released on OSRS.
