Will anything ever be done about the plethora of disgusting sex-related usernames that are running around these days? It seems like 20% of the usernames on active players are just some sex reference that makes this game look like a complete trash heap. It wasn't even close to this bad 10-15 years ago when we were all ACTUALLY 13. Even if these people feel the need to broadcast their virginity, Jagex should spare the rest of us from it.

It is quite rich that jagex added back a wannabe pointless censor to chat for some disdainful fake DEI publicity action then does absolutely nothing about all the manchildren running around in their game with sex names.

Hey, Slashies.

You should report them in-game ( Report a player ) as it's the only way to alert Jagex of such usernames. Furthermore, if you have a long list of offensive usernames, for example, you are more than welcome to inform Jagex through the email address as well.

Please note that this is a no-reply email address and thus an individualized response will not be be sent. It's used to let them know of a situation that you may think needs their attention. Reporting in-game is still the best option as all the necessary evidence will be gathered by the in-game report system.

Unfortunately I'm only one man who can only be in one place at one time and am also not online all day every day, so obviously despite reporting what I see, I am merely seeing a drop in the sex-related username ocean. Furthermore, my ignore list full of sex names that I've already reported (not on this account) has had *1* of about 200 from the last couple months that got their name reset (guess what they changed it to after the reset? another sex name.), which doesn't exactly encourage me to continue my actions.

Remember that you aren't the only player out there and if you miss a name, chances are that at least another person would have already reported it to Jagex. If it helps, I'd send those names that you have to the email address that I shared above too.

I'd imagine it's just a case of a huge load of abuse reports that Jagex has to deal with.

I've always felt that Jagex should do more PSA style livestreams discussing reporting/abuse system (What the processes are that can be publicly discussed etc) so that players understand how to use the tool effectively. The type of livestreams they do for other specific topics like Mod Sween's recent marketing stream, or bot busting streams in the past, or streams with the higher ups of the company etc.

This would potentially help the player base report more often and more accurately because like you said, sometimes on the outside you feel like you're trying your best but that it isn't working.

I'm not suggesting you're not reporting properly btw. I just think making the whole community aware of the report abuse process may assist with encouraging less reports but focusing on more higher quality , accurate reporting and thus, reports like yours could be dealt with more effectively. Just my speculation and 2c :)

Lol grow up theres no report button in the real world.


You could be a bit more constructive on future occasions :)

There's no doubt that it's not the real world, hence why every effort should be made to keep the community cohesive, in many ways like we aim to do in the real world.
