continued from previous page...

The question is where do we go from here? Should we not provide any feedback because we may feel that the feedback is being brushed off or our concerns are not valid enough for consideration because we are posting them on RSOF, on one thread among 50 pages of threads in the W&F section, on a thread that doesn't have a lot of public comments posted to it?

It shouldn't matter how much public support a topic gets in order for that feedback to be considered valid or noteworthy. Nor should that be a qualifier to admit that maybe that the awarding the title to RSW first wasn't such a good idea.

The topic of awarding an in game title for RSOF has been around for years. Off hand, I recall this being suggested on The Forum Improvements Thread by Treemaid that was pinned to the top of this forum for years, (this thread has been eaten by Chewie a long time ago). However, we do still have a reference point to it on the OP on the W&F Discussion and Chat thread, Qfc 278-279-715-65175740. The creation date of that W&F chat thread is 2013 & it is also worthwhile to note that the thread is a 2nd version. So the idea of a RSOF in game title has been floating around for a long time.

I also recall that this has also been suggested on a few other threads recently too, I will have to go back & review a few threads to see if I can find those posts though.

One of the reason a in game title was suggested was so that the title could be used as a visible means to drive the in game community to use the RSOF. That is exactly what the Wikian title will do too, it will drive the in game community to use RSW in order to get the title. This has been mentioned within the content of their threads.

On post 10.10 Mod Balance says, 'We've done research which tracks the number of posts by JMods against the number of posts by players, and there's very little evidence to suggest the decrease in player activity is attributable for a reduced JMod presence. Frankly, it's a visibility issue (as with all forums), we could have JMods posting on suggestion and feedback threads twice as much but it'd still be less visible than a few replies to r/runescape's Hot section.'

I agree that visibility of Jmods posts within the forum is an issue, however, there are viable solutions to that. It is not like a solution can not be found that is viable for RSOF as there has been a variety of suggests made over the years on how to address this.

One suggest that has been made is to tag the thread title, top of a thread, or the side of the thread where the poster identification is with something like what Reddit now uses, it is not like that can not be done here. It is worthwhile to note that even Reddit didn't use that feature to tag Jmod posts on a thread in the past.

But to use lack of visibility as the underlying confirming point to draw a conclusion that there is very little evidence to suggest that the decrease in usage on RSOF can not be attributed to the reduction of Jmods presence on RSOF is nonsensical. I don't know who did this research but no one that I know of who does research for a living would of suggested that there was very little evidence to support there was not a direct correlation between reduced usage & reduced presence.

Thanks for the kind words about my 1st attempt at a forum signature!

Reddit - What ever happened to filters. submitted 12 hours - all 6 comments

OP: I remember a couple of weeks ago Mod Shauny /u/Shaunyowns was showing on stream filters and skybox like things. Is this still coming in game and when can we expect it? I would love to play in night mode. I tried looking in the TL :D W part of that stream and nowhere in it did it say anything about the filters.

--

A: Mod Shauny 4 points 12 hours ago: The project itself is finished however with the 19th we have Endgame and Christmas Part 2 coming out so there's already loads of new content to play with.
Looking to get it out for January :)

Comment: He tweeted on Nov 18 that no release date was planned yet. I'd imagine its still being worked on. Just abandoning all those filters would be such a waste. =P

A: Mod Shauny 1 point 12 hours ago: Quotes Question: 'Will we be able to disable all filters?' - If you enable one you can interact with anyone and it'll reset it :)

A: Mod Ramen [score hidden] an hour ago: At work atm, job in for it. I'll switch my work stream to bugfixes in a bit and fix it.

A: Mod Ramen 14 points 5 hours ago: I remember when my cash stack turned green for the first time. Enjoy and congratulations! Once you start PvMing the green will start rolling in.

The 'Pet' Epidemic. (self.runescape) submitted 3 hours ago by Mod Shauny - 63 comments

Hey all, As I'm sure you've seen here on Reddit or on RSOF there's been a rather large influx of "pets" in areas in-game, which in turn has been disrupting your gameplay experience.

I'm unable to post this on RSOF also as I can't access it without my trusty Laptop which isn't here with me.
I can tell you I've passed on whatever I can and I'm monitoring it to see what we can do.

I wanted to create this post to try and stem the tide somewhat and to give you the reassurance that we're aware.
Hope this helps. :)

EDIT 1: We've fixed players being able to spawn multiple spiders, but are investigating the already spawned "wandering" spiders.

EDIT 2: Don't like the spam of pets? Right click and examine them if they don't have an owner, they'll delete!

---

Comment: Well it doesn't really effect the integrity of the game, so just put it on the backlog i reckon.

A: Mod Shauny 7 points 3 hours ago: Sounds legit. :)

--

Comment: My bad. Good to know though since it was causing lag at least for me.

A: JagexSupport [score hidden] an hour ago: Should find they're mostly gone now. And if you see a bunch, take a second to examine them, and they'll despawn if they're ownerless. :) - Mod Cheryl

--

Comment: It's fixed, any that are still hanging around just right click and examine, they'll disappear.

A: Mod Shauny [score hidden] an hour ago: Just deployed a hotfix :) Don't like the spam of pets? Right click and examine them if they don't have an owner, they'll delete!

[END]


NOTE: RSOF: Nexus0rigin posted the above information to Spiders took over Prif?, Qfc 14-15-502-65859150.

Reddit - How do you do the pet glitch? submitted 11 hours - 3 comments

OP: [deleted] - For Context: Wanted to know how to spawn multiple pets

A: Mod Ryan 9 points 11 hours ago: You don't. :)

'In the recent past The RuneScape Community is slowly ripped apart and contaminated with Players who are eager in obtaining a title. Sadly their well-known efforts, and Public Awards of being a Popular Resource, aren't enough so grabbing a title would create enough satisfaction, I guess?'

--

Idk, do titles really rip apart & contaminate the community? Titles have been part of the game for quite awhile. Even if someone doesn't give two hoots & a holler about obtaining a title they are part of the rewards given for quests, skilling, minigames & Jagex sponsored in game events. You can purchase titles too. You have a choice to use a title or not, buy a title or not, it is not something that is forced on you to use.

I don't use a title in game & I have several on my account that are available to use. I would use a in game RSOF title though because it would augment my personal message on My Examine setting that says 'Visit RuneScape Official Forums for information, updates, help & fun!

^_^

'Let me remind you for how long Moderators have been spit on for having a title, given by Jagex after a beforehand thorough examination, and complained about up to this day that it is quite contradicting what is happening on The RSOF.'

--

Are you refering to the discussion that is taking place on the Retire the crown & background, by Louiellen Qfc 278-279-147-65847541 thread? If I recall, there was also a similar thread to that (by the same author?) a few years back that contained a discussion along the same lines, but that thread has been eaten by Chewie a long time ago.

What that topic is discussing is a bit different from a ingame title though wouldn't you agree?

I think if there was a poll asking if the RSOF community would want an ingame title with just a yes or no box, the yes votes would receive the majority of votes since it is something that has been asked for, for like forever.

---

In this Zarosian Era Players themselves are pinning the most loved titles on theirs chest boosting up their ego's. Woaw, amazing, selfish hero's.

--

Tbh, idk, okay...maybe tweet that to Mod Kalaya, she is the Zarosian Community Manager, at least that what it says on her Twitter Profile & RSOF signature (just in case you have doubts).

:D

RECAP : The topic of awarding an in game title for RSOF has been around for years. Off hand, I recall this being suggested on The Forum Improvements Thread by Treemaid that was pinned to the top of this forum for years, (this thread has been eaten by Chewie a long time ago). However, we do still have a reference point to it on the OP on the W&F Discussion and Chat thread, Qfc 278-279-715-65175740.

Those threads are :


RSOF THREAD SPOTLIGHT


1. RSOF: Encouraging Forum Use - Ideas? by Torchic, Qfc 278-279-157-65617601 - Post: 12.4 'Maybe a forum related emote + title for 1000 forum posts.'


2. RSOF: Game Titles: "the Forumer" by Vera , Qfc 373-374-983-65737674

OP: A great way to promote the Runescape Forums and to help forumers connect with each other in-game would be by implementing the in-game/forum titles, the Forumer and/or of the Forums These titles would encourage people to learn more about the Runescape Official Forums and to promote the RSOF as something that people actually use. The color of these titles can be based on post count badges, or maybe even customizable as an analogy to the formatting and BBCodes we can use on the forums. The post count requirement (~100?) should be high enough to reward meaningful (not spammy) use of the forums, but low enough so as to make it an achievable and worthwhile effort for new posters.

Thread also includes a support list.
