Regrettably, since the departure of the Gower brothers, Jagex has adopted a more lenient approach to moderation. It appears that, from a financial standpoint, imposing stringent punishments on their customers may not be advantageous for the company. The Gower brothers, driven by their passion for the game, were committed to maintaining a fair and enjoyable gaming environment, and they did not hesitate to ban or permanently mute accounts involved in persistent rule-breaking.
Their primary motivation was not solely driven by profit, which allowed them to focus on creating a positive experience for players. It seems highly unlikely that Jagex will make significant changes to their moderation policies anytime soon. Given their priorities and approach, it appears that the company's focus is more centered on profit rather than fostering a positive experience for players. Thus, unless there is a considerable shift in Jagex's priorities, we may not see a more proactive and robust moderation system implemented to ensure a welcoming and respectful environment for all players.
