this has gotten so far beyond ignorable i cant believe it anymore, how is it that the only conversation in public chat anymore is spam bots advertising gambling, gold selling, inferno cape service, or any other of the numerous violations of the rules, i actually jsut saw one today advertising for PVP SCRIPTS! jagex need to pull their thumb from where they have firmly wedged it and start doing something to stop this garbage, im at a point where the inferno cape seems meaningless because some little puke paid for it with mommy and daddys credit card so whats the point in getting it since its not even a status symbol anymore, they remove duel arena but dont even realize that 99% of gambling on osrs doesnt even take place in game, this nonsense needs to be addressed and delt with before this game dies for real.

how would you recommend they stop them? one gets banned another 3 will replace it.

to fix this is alot lot harder than you think it is. is it annoying frustrating etc? of course it is.

but its not an easy thing to get rid of.

i have played runescape since june 2004, so almost 20 years, ive been hearing the same response for 20 years. at this point it seems more like you enjoy the spending on bonds for hundreds of bots a week, and are somewhat disinclined to actually take the steps as its providing you major revenue.

i also started in 2004!!! how awesome.

i doubt you have been hearing the same response especially to these bots. the bots back in 2004 were more just players wanting to progress with out playing, and that was easily delt with by banning them even if it wasnt perm. because it was there only account, anmd they didnt want it perm after the first warning. that was the case for a long time

the gambling bots are somewhat new ** and these ones are the ones that are very difficult to get rid of. because as stated they are literally throw away/suicide accounts. for the sole purpose of spamming.

and yes for these one you have heard this all the time, because its valid, just because thats the reason you keep hearing doesnt change the fact its a valid reason as to why they are hard to get rid of.

jagex do try and get rid of them they ban thousands of bots a week. they dont make money off them, as im sure you remember being a 20 year vet (almost) im sure you remember the days of trade limit, this was because jagex were being close to shutting down runescape. due to bots and the illegal activity they got in. so unless you want to go back to trade limit these are incredibly difficult to get rid of, with out also effecting many legit players. as there is no real way of determining what the account is being made for. until its already happening. and ergo the problem

jagex have shut down many botting websites over the years. and that doesnt come easy, it takes a lot of time and money to do this. so yes they do take care of it. but as ive said a few times now, its not super easy to get rid of.

what you can do so it doesnt effect you seeing it, is just adding them to ignore. (if they arent being banned then you wont have to constantly update the ignore list because they arent being banned ;) )

like i said what do you recommend to stop it?

do i wish bots didnt exist yes, 100% but i know its not an easy task to get rid of.

**somewhat new in terms of the entire game time.

So you've been playing for 20 years and STILL think there is a simple fix?

Okay, tell us what that simple fix is.

Good post.

I've started reporting all players advertising as it is getting too much. It's usually very bad around the GE.

I also find if you let them know before reporting them, they kind of get the idea that they are becoming annoying. Some of them stop, or change worlds.

If Jagex would reinstate the ability of player moderators to issue mutes on the bot/spammers this would probably mitigate the issue somewhat...

Of course, that would imply player mods would be actually willing to use said mute function....
