1. Overmoderation by bored FMods with nothing useful to do. Certain FMods seem to spend all day just clicking on thread after thread looking for something to do, whether justified or not.

2. Outmoded forum layout. Ten replies per page with huge amounts of empty space is just annoying. I much prefer reddit's layout where I can quickly skim a thread from beginning to end looking for interesting replies instead of click... scroll to bottom... click next page... scroll to bottom... repeat.

3. Slow website response times (for me, at least) due to all the crap that loads.

4. Post-count farmers who reply to everything with no substance to their response (exacerbating issue #2 above).

5. No ability to ignore certain people whose garbage I don't want to read who just shitpost and troll repeatedly... and these people are *never* moderated. It would not surprise me if Jagex provided a list of whales to the FMods and told them to let those people do and say whatever they please.

6. Nearly impossible to find JMod replies in large threads unless someone makes a list on Page 1. Again, the reddit subs do this right with the JMod response icon.

7. Way too many forum categories. I don't like navigating 30+ different forums sections looking for activity, only to find the last thread created was 2 months ago.

8. Along with #7, there is no way to go to a different forum section directly from a thread. First I have to click to go back to the forums list or the thread list, then select my new forum section. This is just bad design.

9. Too many stickied posts in some forum sections. If the top 20 posts are stickied (sometimes for years), that leaves less room for new and interesting threads to appear on Page 1.

10. Poor sig design. I often see sigs which have the bottom line of text cut off vertically.

Runescape used to have lots of different playstyles, pkers, skillers, pures, pvm'ers, lvl 3 skillers, fashionscapers. you name it. Now everyone are just following jagex content and playing the story, rising numbers in the silence.

2017 Everyone in the game are maxed. I find it rare to see anyone without a max cape or even 120's. Answere is simple, this is just a small part of the forum avaible to everyone but a few, why close out a few?

Yep. It is the obsession to be maxed. Plus everybody feels they have a right to have comp even though they are a mediocre player.
