I’ve seen twitch streamers get insta-banned for harassing people. So there’s that.

It’s not like Jagex just turn a blind eye to harassment. The thing is they need proof before they’re able to act on anything, otherwise it’s just a lot of he said she said.


indeed proof / evidence is the key!

Runescape/Jagex are about money. Only. If you get insulted or harassed, they could care less as long as the cash rolls in.


thats entirely untrue. dont spread dangerous misinformation like that

do jagex care about money, of course they are a company if they didnt theyd go bankrupt we would have no runescape to play, but to say they dont care about harassment is a grossly misguided claim with no evidence. they take harassment incredibly seriously.
It's not that they don't care about harassment. It's that they have no qualms about harassing the players themselves to the point they think it's better to stop playing. Speaking from personal experience.


jagex harass players? do explain further.
Was I think 5? years ago now. Meadows came out saying Trust and Safety had deemed me a "danger to the community" and convinced a portion of the community to excommunicate me by saying "Me or him" Theres still some others around here who saw it when it happened who were like wtf. At any rate thats the reason I started hanging around less for a while.

I believe you pretty much get out of any game community what you put into it. For the most part, that has been my experience. Sure, I've run into a couple of asshats, but most everyone I've met in-game or on forums have been cool. That has certainly been true for this game.

For example, earlier tonight I ran into one of my friends at the Lumbridge yews. I went there to complete a Woodcutting Challenge. He is often there chopping and burning yew logs, when he's not killing Hollowtoof and his raiders.

After I finished chopping yews, I told him all I had left to do was a Runecrafting Challenge (not my favorite). He said two of his Daily Challenges were members. We are both F2P, though he used to be a member. When I mentioned blocking member skills from Daily Challenges, he said he should do that, but he wasn't sure how to do this. So I told him who to talk to in Burthorpe. He thanked me and teleported to Burthorpe. Meanwhile, I made a trip to the Water Altar and crafted some ruins to finish my Daily Challenges.

After I banked, I caught up with my friend again, back at the Lumbridge yews. Just then, a goblin raid was announced near the Crafting Guild, so he left to deal with them. Just before he teleported, he thanked me again for telling him how to toggle off skills he did not want Daily Challenges in.

During my first year here, this friend encouraged me and offered me advice. Together, we even defeated Hollowtoof a couple of times. Sure, I can solo Hollowtoof now, but I still remember his kindness towards me during those early months. Now I finally was able to help him with something.

Like any community, the RS community is as bad - or good - as you make it.
I've been putting out fire with gasoline! ^_^

i dont see how thats harassment. it seems they were looking out for the community at large for whatever reason, something was triggered that had red flags about you, could it be wrong sure. but i dont see any harassment. just a misjudgement at best. whether it was picked up incorrectly from automated systems which happen or from jagex employee. there main interest was the community safety

but either way that isnt harassment,

Yea it mixed met some good players just goofing around by lodestones and trees. The skill spot spammers that have like 50 people get to be annoying with all the spam and annoying insults though.

Sadly this game has so many afkers tabbed out so not too much ice breakers willing to chat. Those that do are pretty fun. Its why the trade worlds work out so well. People actually wish to chat and goof around there.
