as relates to the gambling commission scrutiny I think you guys need to do a weekend staff development seminar and have two separate but equal informative sessions for all jagex employees.

1. market regulation.

the rsof is home to several bizarre price fixing threads that are screamingly obvious as that which would be fraud for a real stock market. have someone summarize for all jagex employees these things

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_shop_(stock_market)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump_and_dump

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_corruption

2. gambling theory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mentality_of_Apes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reward_system

making note that dopamine is released to the brain at signal to work, not reward, and doubled by the variable of "maybe" if the reward schedule varies.

science hypothesized that chimp brain would get dopamine at banana. they rang a bell. the chimps stacked crates. chimps could reach banana.

the surprise was that dopamine released at ring of bell. not banana.

when the reward schedule was varied... when there was "maybe" a banana this time... the dopamine doubled.

so... you can see what kind of addictive behavior you're going to have combat at signal boosted rsof spaces. those encamped interests are deeply addicted, not correctly limited, and structurally rutted in a somewhat dishonest price fixing pursuit.

take note, too, that if you watch a lot of american movies... it might seem like price fixing is fair game. not in the UK.

and anyone in the UK has always been able to complain directly to the gambling commission.

https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/for-the-public/Your-rights/Complaints.aspx

so good luck having the temp community team immunized to leash yanking where addicted forum frauds are manipulating them for corrupt interests. no snark. honestly wish you guys good luck.

in other words... the more corrupt j or p mods demand every protesting player get censored, and in my case... maybe thats just tuesday, but its going to make other players mad enough to complain right to the gambling commission. I am not the one promoting that news that jagex is under new scrutiny. Its not a veiled threat from me. Its -all- over reddit right now. So make that known to those who can mod rsof.

quarantine policies are not going to work.

it should be common sense, but... apparently thats its own oxymoron.

"censorship" is not "opinion leading."

the whole point of having player moderators is that they lead opinions, right?
so... tuffty posting something like a few words praise or condemnation is worth a LOT more than if tuffty simply stated "you are censored" after hiding some posts.

the whole point of a "community" team is to win hearts and minds, right?
pretend to have heard feedback and been thankful for it. at rsof, twitter, facebook, reddit, etc.

now -if- there is a look from Jagex's legal counsel about the way
CDA 230
works
so that you no longer want to be BOTH the publisher and the newstand
responsible for our content... that'd mean you're about to throw all of rsof away, and honestly... I'm for it. Do it. Burn rsof. Its good for the game. I liked writing here, in HLF, hidden from public view where Jagex wasn't so much publishing my feedback, but I do not like the publically visible or hashed by google rest of rsof, and if we have to just lose both, then so be it.

https://www.eff.org/issues/cda230/legal


^ thats how it works in america, so I imagine the laws for the UK are even more complex. I think jagex needs to review now before you go replacing all the fired community team personnel. Now is not a good time to hire players, interested parties, or UBB experts. Get people who do want to just clock 40 hrs a week of "thank you for your feedback" at 3rd party social media.

that is a valid criticism. I admit that being upset by what I am bringing to light has made it more difficult to relay with employees of jagex half my age. I do know wikipedia is not a formal academic citation, but I also don't expect them to head for a library on this prompt.

I am trying to highlight the diction. Terms like "corruption" are bandied about so often that they lose meaning.

If I might make a suggestion, your threads need two additional features at the start.

A tldr summary and a context point, I've flicked through this thread and I have no idea what it's about.

I admit I didn't see this at first, ironically, but I have no idea what the gambling commission scrutiny is, so I would first need to be told about that, for this contextual point to make sense.

so indeed. I might suggest having a skim of runescape reddit where no less than half the current first page threads reference the new scrutiny.

but it is this government publication they reference in thrust
https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmselect/cmcumeds/1846/184606.htm

I am not entirely sure how it looks in the UK, but when the time comes that gambling enforcement is to take place in texas... it begins with a wall breaching tank, paramilitaries with rifles at low ready, shouting, and lots of us marshalls in blue jeans. its an ugly sight.

thats not something I want to imagine raven and brothers swept by. or osbourne. or mark. or the ladies... and I can only name mohawk, luna, kalaya, and... idk maybe there are a dozen more. sorry ladies. I aint yer stalker. cant name you all.

I've tried in the past to write that I knew dozens of people at Origin when I worked at Waterloo in Austin, Texas and I was there the day they showed up and the doors were locked. I tend to get HLF snipers writing "hunh? what?" like they can't be arsed to ask "what is ultima?"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britannia_Manor

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterloo_Records

This is not my first rodeo. I have seen many weirder things happen.
I aint tryin to brag either... just make it clear this aint my biz and I do not make a cent from any video game ever. I dont have an interest other than paying gamer.

No joke...
the mob
owned this thing called Rocket Gaming in Dallas and they make games for those slot machines at truck stops... you have to have a security clearance like you were Edward Snowden to make those games. They watch you like hawks. Gaming is not exempt from the most painful government actions.

and those guys dont get visits from traffic cops in baby blue short sleeve shirts. its all like... sardaukar. shock troopers. rifles at low ready.

if perhaps you already knew that the Yakuza always owned Konami... and you are some fan of Hideo Kojima...

10 min summary video somewhat game centric about Yakuza and games
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQT0Cw1A448

I published my graduate thesis on the Yakuza owned studios that made films glorifying the Yakuza known as Nikyo-Eiga. It confused my thesis committee so I had to do that thing translating every Japanese name, event, company, historical moment into something else they'd understand like... the turf war in New York City between Irish and Italian gangsters as seen in Martin Scorcese films.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Spillane_(mobster)#Death

https://www.cnn.com/2015/11/17/asia/japan-yakuza-boss-found-dead/index.html

as such I know a lot about what the half of most racketeers look like in most countries.
In Japan its the Bakuto
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakuto

and the most famous you might already know is Zatoichi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zatoichi

which I was able to interview Larry Hama about and source that Daredevil is 100% based on Zatoichi


so yes. I see both differences and similarities, but after parliament's reports... and more specifically the newer proposal to deny loot crates to minors at all games... they are not going to be asking nicely when the time comes.
