What I noticed back in my verdant days (see the oldest posts in my profile as evidence that I was once green) was that quite a lot of players would put just as much effort into working out where they should post as they absolutely had to.

If they could post everything in RGU, secure in the knowledge that some greenie would come along later and do all the brainwork of deciding where the thread actually belonged, that's what they did.

If it was a new forum user or a reasonable confusion, I'd move the thread and explain why it belonged where I'd put it rather than where it had been put.

But just as often as not, it was someone who decided they'd rather use my brain than their own if I was prepared to let them get away with it. Which I wasn't, tyvm. :P

Unpopular opinion: F Mods and Moderation in general are fine, there's a few small problems here and there but overall its good.

The reason the forums are dead is due to completely different issues.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I've heard somewhere that Jmods are unable to log on to their mod accounts when not at work. This subsequently caused the shift to places like Reddit and Twitter, as they could reply to questions asked there from home as well.

This lead to the exodus of the RSOF, as Jagex apparently chose the easy way out instead of allowing employees to use their mod accounts away from office. However, you'll quickly run into the following dilemma: why spend resources on updating something so little people are making use of at the moment?

So (I think) in order for more Jmod involvement on the forums we need more people here first, and to get more people here we need more Jmod involvement.

Due to this situation they let the Forum Moderators do most of the managing around here, which can be quite the responsibility. If they don't lock something which in Jagex' eyes should be locked they get problems with them. If they do lock they are accused of overmoderation from the community.

Honestly, at the end of the day we are all still human. Unfortunately this is something a lot of people seem to forget when communicating over the internet. Sometimes, less is more.
