I believe it allows you to report an exact post automatically (fills in the QFC, thread title, page number, post number) but requires manual input of a reason.

And yeah, you need to refresh the QFC. Though it doesn't seem like Forum Help gets refreshed every week anymore.

Thats basically what my quick report feature does, except it pulls the QFC and page number from the URL, instead of page scraping. Then its just a matter of selecting the offence from a combo box, and optionally adding any other fields (user, post number, etc) and adding any needed comments.

There shouldn't be any issues, as the rules state:
----------------------------
It must not automatically make repeated page/content requests from our website or otherwise make excessively bandwidth-intensive requests from our servers (each page/content request should only be in direct response to a user request each time).
----------------------------
Since the page request is done in direct response to you clicking your report button, it is not an automated request.

So what do you think of the new 'Welcome to the Forums' forum then? It's buzzing already, but mainly from experienced forumers so far. It's early days I know, but I do hope we'll see some posts and questions from those newer to the forums soon too. Mind you, a lot of the info there is likely to be useful to read without newer players feeling they need to post there I guess. AKA: Arbr**** Vie
Please also remove the filter from our siggies Jagex! :)

RE: Welcome to the forums

I've always had the idea that most people who come to the forums for the first time have a very specific purpose for coming. Stuff like selling an item, ranting about an update, to read patch notes, to give a suggestion.

Aren't they still going to go straight to the section they think is best, do what they came to do and then leave?

I know if I was coming to the forums for the first time I wouldn't want to read through a load of guides and welcome section. I'd guess at how it all works and throw myself straight in there to do what I wanted to do.

The only people I see going to a Welcome section are people who have no purpose for visiting the forums other than just visiting for the sake of it or because they're bored.

Well, it can still help them, and maybe turn them into avid forumers, by catching their attention and intrigueing them whilst they would otherwise be bored.


Also, the people who come on once, to sell, or complain, may check it out after, especially if they get their first attempt locked/moved because of unapropriate content/misplacement. In whichcase it may really help, and prevent some such people turning away.

It may catch the eye of somone, who may come back to check it out more, once they have spare time.

They may only be small quantities of people, but anything is better than nothing. These forums are great for RuneScape-related things, and not many people seem to realise. :(
