Of course it was, people were having fun with it.

I guess it's back to the Reddit site .....
Is that where you have disappeared to? I haven't found all that on Reddit - must read more

Although it did develop into fun for some, there were some good points:
Love at first sight can work out
Meeting on RS can lead to successful long-term relationships
Long distance relationships can be incredibly difficult
Internet dating comes with inherent problems and dangers

General rule - be aware and take care.

Lulz I was about to post this

Same with the "What's for Lunch" (duplicate thread) and "Chinese Doge Style" (sensible subject). I posted on both and they got fmod'd

Of course, for good reasons.

... Aaaawww, but they were good threads

Well, we could always live in hope that, providing threads are not irredeemably rule breaking, they will be left to merrily wend their minimally modded way to p50 when they have run their natural course of discussion.

I'd also like this place to be way less ultra conservative politically correct and overly moderated. But at this point I doubt it will ever change

However rs isn't tinder or * harmony. While I have no problem with people finding a partner through a dating service, runescape is the wrong place to go for that Old School

, thanks for supporting my RuneLab idea!

( Bulletin Boards for Open POHs if others are interested in taking a gander)

The edating thread was...interesting. Taught me a lot about human psychology and what people are capable of thinking, or in this case, believing. Reminds me of how gambling is actually an issue in-game, and you'd think, No one would fall for it?? But sadly enough, people do lose millions of gp from gambling, and it's absolutely heart-breaking.

I wish that Jagex and its pmods in general, as well, had a more solid stance against gamblers :\ Especially since nowadays they conduct their seedy business in fc's and there's less evidence to report them off of.

You are probably right, but hope springs eternal.

Meeting someone on RS is a bit different from purposefully accessing a Dating app and 'swiping' someone they like the look of. Given the nature of RS, it isn't surprising that some players do end up becoming friends, as they start off with things in common - playing a game they both enjoy.

.

Edit
Must admit I was forgetting about all the 'looking for a gf' that went on - is that still a thing on RS?

You're welcome - I don't use POH altars myself, but I can see how your idea would be an improvement on what is happening at the moment.

The main problem of course is the anonymity aspect, with some pretending to be what they are not, either to escape from their everyday life or to manipulate others. It is damned hard to get someone with a trusting nature to see the possibility that other people may not be as straightforward as they themselves are. Of course there are lots of players (hopefully the majority) who are online the same as they are in real life – except for all the killing, thieving etc

I agree, and they definitely need a far stronger stance on lurers. There was a point, several years ago, when there was a wideranging thread about whether ‘luring’ was allowed – it almost seemed like most Jmods were generally against it, but nothing happened, as usual (except for a prolific self-declared lurer getting himself a mute). It all fizzled out as the relevant Jmods moved sections or left altogether.

Edit
Oops that is all a bit off-topic for Off Topic.
