Having Jmods spending more time on FMR also doesn't bring more traffic to the RSOF but TBH integrity and order of the forums should be a far bigger focus to Jmods than "traffic".
Obviously, J-Mods spending time in FMR does not bring traffic to the Forums. We all know this. I was referring to bringing in more players to the Forums as we only get 10-20 active users at any given time. Considering that J-Mods do not spend time overall here on the RSOFs, then, of course, that drives down "traffic" and active users...

Right, so it would be ideal and beneficial to your suggestion to clarify this. You first stated that J-Mods were going to review this (per your quotes above) and now, you are saying that it's only for F-Mods and that J-Mods MAY review it if they wished to. It's nice to have a firm stance so that the public does not get confused.

Personally I don't care about the "10-20 active users" label as it is very misleading according to Jmods too.

Anyway, it has completely no bearing to my suggestion.

I 100% believe what I wrote, especially with what I highlighted here is 100% clear already. If you don't think so, shrug and I have nothing else to add. :)

Thus with this i guess we're better off sticking to whats already available as this wont change anything.

Jmods still wont read the forums as they have no reason to.

So just report misleading info if it goes to far to the fmods.

I have found more and more threads where OP put up misinformation and then do not post again. This leads to even more players or potentially their alts use the misinformation to spread even more misinformation.

One solution where Reddit handle this is to have their moderators adding a "misleading" tag to the thread title. I think this is what these RSOF need too.
RuneScape is a project that is 'under construction 24/7 ... 365 days a year continuously throughout time.
The Internet likewise is always under construction 24/7 ... 365 days a year continuously throughout time.
The computer industry ... same story.
The Entertainment industry, which Jagex is part of ... same story.
Altogether what happens today and will possibly happen tomorrow will never be set in stone as it is 'uncertain/unpredictable', even when we speak it could be and might be changing.

So any attempt to make a clear picture out of it or predict what will happen is almost impossible to do, even for Jagex/JMods themselves as things keep shifting all the time.

Even some simple gaming info about ore-boxes having a max of 120/140 ores to put into is 'misleading', according to what is written in The RuneScape Wiki, as you can put 'way more' ores in a box but you have to know what you are talking about and how to do it to maximize this gaming tool.

It all comes down to ... KNOWLEDGE ... and how far knowledge can be shared or not be shared.
It is all about having access to knowledge or have no access at all.

Players always share their experience as far as they have knowledge about certain things, added to that their personal experience and you have a mix of things 'YOU' wanna blackmark as 'misleading information' and let moderators bash that down as 'misbehavior'.

It isn't a matter of me thinking so or not. I'm just trying to clarify your position on this specific suggestion of yours. Firstly, you mentioned that J-Mods would check this out. See below:

Labelling a thread misleading is just flagging it
for Jmod review
while making all the RSOF users aware of the REAL facts.
Then, you said this:
Dilbert2001 said :
The misleading label is for the Fmods to add,
it doesn't involve the Jmods
.
How does that make sense to you or anyone else trying to opine on this idea? It was confusing and this is the main reason I pointed it out to you. I wanted to be 100% sure of what your stance was regarding J-Mods. After having pointed that out to you, you somehow said, "They can check it if they want to."

It's all right to be confused at times. We are all humans. It's just best to make it clear to allow for better discussions.

This will not change. If you believe someone is making a "misleading" statement, as CM Nick has suggested for you to do, you are more than welcome to use Forum Help to alert the F-Mods/CMs. If CMs believe that a J-Mod must interfere, then they will escalate the issue to them. If that does not work for you, then you also have the choice of ignoring such threads/comments.

Best of luck ;) .

I think a simpler solution would just be to report these instances of misinformation to Forum Help, as instituting new features on the RSOF is a time consuming and arduous process, whereas using Forum Help is fairly quick, and if it's indeed damaging misinformation, it'll be cleared up/clarified, or removed.
