Did Forum Mods Kill Forums?
Quick find code: 278-279-694-66258551
To put in my 2 cents, it seemed as though Mods took action on situations that brought controversy towards the unsuccessful path that RS3 has had the last 10 years or so. Reasoning for this could be many, for example they could be enjoying RS3 and with that, trying to over protect it as it is indeed falling apart, RS3 numbers literally get dwarfed compared to OSRS.
Seeing as though forums are as dead as it is, and mods are targeting players who potentially bring down RS3, little threat is brought upon them especially with the thread that allows players to report this abuse is not active.
WITH THAT BEING SAID
This makes Jagex look INCREDIBLY bad, the fact that they can't simply keep an eye out for complaints towards their forum mods, that work for free is literally insane and again shines light on how unsuccessful they have been with RS3, a literal disgrace that players can be abused by forum mods and no action will be taken unless it's insanely drastic, even then who knows.
ALSO
Not all forum mods are bad, I do apologize that this has to be brought up and talked about but I'm sure you can understand how it is necessary.
I never have seen mods take wrong doing action towards players in a large way, but again this can easily be hidden, and I never really looked out for it, but I for sure have seen it. It could have been unintentional, but this does not mean that players are not being taken advantage of, and this is the main importance here.
Player mods are great for the game, Jagex is obviously missing a lot of beats with this fine tuned game that it once was and cannot correctly manage a community.
-
Nothing will be done about this, Jagex literally runs their game manipulating their players for $, spending time/money to monitor mods protecting this method would just not happen.
I'd say I'm a fair level headed person but I would never get hired, I love this game for what it once was and the community but Jagex would hire someone unfit but positive

I agree with TranQ, but I do really think EOC killed the forums if anything. It created a very large separation within the community and most likely caused a lot of harm, which we can see from the rise of OSRS itself.
To carry on Jagex themselves stopped caring about the community aspect of the game, and cared more about making profitable content instead of inspirational community content that creates growth in people. Which is why I consider this game toxicscape nowadays.
But to add on, I also do believe that some forum mods have negatively affected the small growth if any that may have occurred in these dying years, they seem overly aggressive for example, towards players who might visit while getting bored of the game, especially vets who returned and were confused on why RS3 was so dead content community wise.

As I said before, I am confident that I can create another RS forums on my own site and my version would be more popular just solely because the moderation team is different. Not sure what other evidence people need, a strawpoll?
Put your money where your mouth is, and do it then.
RS forums would not be RS forums without my good self and a few other names i won't mention
So idk, you might be able to create "a forum" but i can guarantee you won't be creating another "RS forums"
Best of luck with your glorified Discord
Much love
Scouse - Yes you read it right, i actually did refer to me as "My good self" hahaha [qfc id=]whatever[/qfc]

1st. Was the grand exchange - Prior to the GE the trade forums were bustling as it was the only place to buy in bulk. After the GE was established the trading forums quieted down, that was alot of forum traffic. Since setting up trades wasn't as necessary any longer. Active trading went by the way side along with those that would peruse the forums while waiting for responses for their wares.
That's one that hadn't occurred to me and yes, it's probably a big factor.
Unfortunately that may get worse if the "max cash" cap gets increased... if that happens the price check threads in Item Discussion won't be needed, and they're a busy part of the forums.

I don't believe so
. I'd imagine social media was the biggest indicator.
