I used to care about threads being left in general to the detriment of the other sections but it was a waste of time, for instance

I recall a few years ago a thread about grammar on the forums that was posted there by a former fmod and which within about 2 hours had had 10 different fmods post on it some of whom hadn't posted for 6month +

Now being a regular of the Off Topic section I thought that might be a nice thread for the off topic section a thread about how we are influenced by a posts grammar because grammar on the forums isn't really about the game of runescape is it I would have been happy for it to be moved here either.


Ultimately I was told by one fmod that the thread had been deemed an exception to the rules another said they couldn't do anything due to the other mods posting and I eventually received an inbox message from Mod Balance then head of CM issuing me with me a cease and desist regarding me posting about the thread. It didn't work in actuality all it did was reinforce my view that they just don't care or even read reports fully as in the message he referred to the thread as being mine and that it had been correctly moved to the right section.

So ye all these years and still no change perhaps as Arch said if Mod Kari is more proactive than the previous cm mods then we might get to see something happen, but more than likely she'll move on to pastures new before anything happens and we return to the status quo.

In reality I posted about it for sheer devilment and I also care very much so not that I really go into the place

Thanks Wilf, as this is a perfect example of a thread's topic that doesn't have a specific home at all and could be placed anywhere in The RSOF.
Grammar is about our communication skills and that includes all communications in many directions and forms.

I assume this is because of people posting threads in General knowing that it's the incorrect section, just to get more views over one of the more dead subforums, or am I understanding this incorrectly? Good point Loki but I can prove all those players thinking the way you did as being wrong.

I have been here in

Websites & Forums

when it still was

Website Forums

and

Forum Feedback Forums

, where players of other forums said this was the most dead forum of The RSOF, being a graveyard where you wouldn't get an answer in a million years.

This

Websites & Forums

forum is almost as occupied as

General

at some moments but it all comes down to how it is Moderated and how well players prepare their threads/content that makes it worth posting in. To be honest, Website & Forums is the only forum that actually gets JMod responses (from the Web Team) haha! True, very true ... lol. Still makes me laugh when they told us it sometimes looks like a wasps nest in here, in some threads.

Here's an issue with moving the thread though even if there is a better place it belongs. The damage is already done from a thread standpoint it exists pushing a thread into chewie's open mouth. We can't reverse that at least at the f-mod level. Hey, Tranq. I agree with your points. I do want to share that if a thread is already in page 50th and is about to disappear, I am sure that it has already served its purpose. I know that it is still considered a "lost" thread due to the fact that a new one has been created, but if a thread is about to be devoured by Chewie, I am sure it's for a good reason. A grave-bumped thread is something that we do not want, anyway. And, if that specific thread were relevant, we can all agree that it wouldn't be about to fall off .
