Did Forum Mods Kill Forums?
Quick find code: 278-279-694-66258551
Forums are dead because:
Too many subforums, too few players. There are more subforums than there are active users, and some subforums are self-contained. Off-topic users will stick to off-topic. Oldschool users, which has more players but less forum users, obviously won't partake in RS3 topics. It's hard to have a discussion when everyone is divided.
No JMod presence. People will go to where they can get their feedback heard. It isn't here.
There's also a few persistent, toxic members of the community that moderation has done little about. While in isolation their comments aren't particularly offensive, new players will leave feedback, get a pedantic troll post that takes their feedback out of context, and be discouraged from ever posting again. Even if the post itself isn't technically against the rules, the damage done to the community cannot be undone, and moderators' hands are tied.
All of these factors mean that there's no new blood flowing into the forums, and they're all leaving for elsewhere. Lack of Jagex support, lack of clear direction for both the game and its forums, lack of communication with FMods, are all bigger issues. FMod power abuse is a rare thing, and FMods acting in bad faith are easily removed by Jagex.
P.S. price check threads are just price manipulation and you can't convince me otherwise
