I usually play games to escape from the real world, and with good reason these days so you may be able to see why I was shocked to see RS using the political "Stay at Home" policy of dictators on the welcome window. Many will understand and many will have no clue what I'm on about.

My partner works for the NHS and even they cringed when they read it.

Because of this I will be cancelling my membership in favour of offline games, even DXP has lost all of its appeal and I expect others will react in the same way. Thanks but no thanks!

I would be interested in seeing who else is not happy with that welcome banner but if RS follows the same censoring policy as FB and YouT, I don't expect this post to last on here for 5 minutes. Hopefully I am incorrect.

where does it say stay at home? not that im against it. its good advice considering the pandemic.

but rs is still a great place to escape from life, if it does say stay at home somewhere. (even though i cant see it) thats literally the only place its referenced. and imo is a good thing.

Facebook recently banned Australian journalists from posting news articles on Facebook.

Facebook suggested it generates $450m worth of 3rd party advertising revenue by hosting journalists. Australian customers literally spend $1b a year let alone generate idk how much direct advertising revenue for Facebook.

Facebooks policy for australia is;
- gives with somebody else's one hand and,
- takes with both hands. Dear God, please send the competition, feels like there ain't any.
I long lost count of the victories, there were just far too many.

Not everything is about politics.

Indeed, on this forum, nothing should be about politics.

Please remember the rules about politics within the forums. Can't be done as the New Rule has been out a while.

Also I can't say I've seen any banner so can't comment.

If you wish to Rant then please use the Rants section.

Also please remember Off Topic is for threads not related to RuneScape.
