In a way I agree with you. Most of my post count is to do with moderation. These days though and over tha last few years my post count has been going ok posting normal none moderator posts. Which I like and I hope the Community like too. Now the rules are much better it's more fun on these forums to post basicly anything you want to post. Very little gets action taken against it. Yet 10-14 years ago you got a mute for even saying Microsoft or Google... Yes it was that bad and now we can all post links to safe sites etc.

I really do hope the forums can become bigger and better then ever and more people using them. Sadly due to Social Media I can't see it. So we have to make do with the Community we have and keep everyone happy. You did say that in a thread about the 'General Forums'. I do fail to see me being 'inaccurate', but I know you didn't say that.
I too would like to see a more vividly RSOF but as long as Jagex/JMods aren't allowed to spend time in The RSOF, due to them being too much distracted/pestered/bullied and whatever more what was claimed a decade ago, we see less activity in here.

Yes, I can vividly remember that. I totally forgot how many forumers I had to mute for saying the words facebook, youtube, twitter, reddit - it was part of the policy of keeping people here in RSOF, limiting their chance of being redirected to other websites. Heck, even mere mention of a Runescape fansite earns a thread lock a decade ago. I hope you do realize how ridiculous something like that in reality was/is and I hope you both do understand how ridiculously vague

'make good quality threads and posts'

is, right now, and how that discourage people from posting.
How many times in The RSOF are players pestered/bullied/blackmarked for being trolls because they just say how they feel about a topic/problem they have bumped into?
The atmosphere isn't really welcoming.

Tidied up a little. While I disagree with the thread itself, I don't believe it deserved to be locked as it was. As always, please keep discussions civil. If you disagree, I welcome you to give your opinion.

You totally misquoted me and Tuffty, the context of our conversation was the RSOF policies more than a decade ago. Where as a decade ago there were unwritten rules that obstructed players when posting we now face the same principal of unwritten rules obstructing players to write things down the way they are used to do in real life.
This thread is a perfect example of such situation.
