Go see how well this is working... every world sorc tower. you will see at least 5-10 bots still, and there are thousands of bots in the UK AM hours! Some of the ones in world 1 havent logged off in days, had several people report all of them, there still walking and choppin like they own the place...

Mod stated that they were focusing on goldfarming bots... well all these nongold farming bots are creeping on 99wcing, and they still do cause damage to the economy, so these players should definitely be getting banned as well.

ALSO: im 91 wcing with d axe... took me 1 hour 17 minutes!!! for one full inventory at magics...

It's good to see you are taking action on RS2/OSRS/RS2007 and I appreciate it very much.

Still if I may ask this question; have you thought about recruiting new P-Mods for the OSRS/RS2/RS2007? Since honestly speaking I have only seen 2 P-Mods in the last 1-3 months. The main reason I am asking this is because that P-moderator's report has a higher chance of being noticed by the system than by regular player's report. And yes I know that this is not a very good question since you probably can't reply to this.

Also I am not allowed to say this nor this wont either be replied but if you are looking for a P-mod you can count on me!

You want to get rid of bots?
1: BAN ACCOUNTS
2: WHIPE THE ACCOUNTS HISTORY OF EXISTENCE
3: AND IP BAN THEM ALL, I DON'T CARE IF THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR 11 YEARS IF THEY BREAK THE RULES THEY DON'T DESERVE TO PLAY!

Reporting bots - This is crucial to the strength and accuracy of the system. We evaluate every report we receive, taking the data and information from the report to help tune the system ensuring it remains 100% accurate and targets the right offenders.

-----------------------------------------------------

I am so glad that reporting actually matters. I have probably reported several hundred people I suspected of botting so it's nice to hear that it actually counts for something. Went to yews earlier and the amount of bots made it too frustrating for me to stay but if the problem is being worked on as quick as you guys can then I have no complaints. Thanks guys.

For macroing reports, a pmod report has the same priority - the higher priority reports are only for text offenses.

I believe it has been mentioned that they may be looking into inviting more pmods for osrs in the future.

Just to clarify, on reporting those that don't speak. If they are a low lvl, like 3-10 and they only have one stat like fishing, wc or etc. then it's pretty clear they are a bot.

Of course idk what the issue is with replying to ppl. The game is about community and you can't have a community if ppl don't talk to each other.
