I suggest a warning to remove it. |

Maybe he didn't see your post yet?Or he did but just ignored it.
Why does it seem like every Rune Scape forum breaks the RS rules? 
|
||
| CodyT07 |
Because the admins dont read Rs fansite rules and regulations. |
||
| Sapp |
Yeah,keeping up with every Rune Scape forum is hard to do.
That's why it's up to loyal Rune Scape fans to report as much as they can,even if the forum they're reporting doesn't have more than 2 members. |

A forum not to long ago was reported here (in that case e-mailed the complaint to admin) by Jagex themselves and im sure Admin will like to avoid that. |

Technically, is that "macroing"? I always thought macroing was downloading a program or exploiting a bug in a game code to get an advantage over the game or other players.
He isn't exploiting a bug in the game, he is simply holding down a key, that he could do manually anyway. I don't want to be argumentative, I just want to understand. Is it cheating, if you hold down a key with say...a heavy keychain, instead of your finger? I would probably be more against this if he were attacking other members in battle, and using something like that for it, but for fishing, you aren't really competing against other members, there is usually room at fishing holes for everyone. And after a while, you have to check your progress anyway, because once your inventory is full, you have to stop and empty it out, or you can't fish anymore anyway. If I'm wrong on this, ok, I just want to know what the difference is between what the guy was suggesting, and actual macroing. |

Macroing-Playing the game without actually playing it. Which over 3,000 accounts have been baned for doing. Lets say you want to chop trees but you dont want to sit there and wait, you use a program that records mouse clicks and redose them for you so you can get logs without playing.
A)Its unfair B)Its also to prevent sites to create a lot of accounts and have them all run on these macros to gather lets say yew logs. After about a week they get all the logs and sell them. Then they sell that money on their site for real life money. (Basically making money off a free game). C)It can save people their accounts, as downloading those "macro" programs have keyloggers (sending someone what keys you typed and where). As many macros are downloaded of the world wide web. Bug Abuse-Basically finding a bug where you use it to your advantage. Lets say a place where you can trap players in the wilderness and you lure them their. They get stuck and you attack them till they are dead. (otherwise Pk'ed) Which is totally unfair. The bigger version of this is when the Falador Massacre happened and almost everyone died and lost their stuff. (and A LOT of accounts baned. Search youtube for it). |

Yeah, my first instinct was to laugh, because if it's only affecting your own stats, how could there be a rule against it? BUT, I went to the link Cody provided and here's what Runescape says:
What is AFK Training? AFK training is Away From Keyboard training. While you are playing on RuneScape, you must be at the computer. Away from keyboard training is not allowed, and you should log out when you leave the computer. pfffft... [/b]

me feels stupid know as i didnt understand it. 
Never the less still encouring it. Which AFK is against rules and dangerous. (game randoms). |

When it comes to macros I am still uncomfortable as to whether it is our job to enforce a moral standard and set ourselves up as judge and jury in areas we know very little about.
If Runescape want to detect Macros and kick people for using them, then fair enough that is their right. But once we start trying to police the shadowy areas, we would end up doing nothing else and probably get a bad reputation as every person with every petty complaint comes on this forum and tries to get somewhere closed down. There is a balance to be had between keeping crap off the system and running a police state

What do you mean by areas you know little about? Also the forum i mention ealier that Jagex Reported Forum Why they been unsespended? |
||
| admin (no pm's please) |
They are suspended again, not much of a mystery there, the server move process which has gone on recently just so happened to move them and that has the unfortunate side effect of undoing a suspension.
as for areas we know little about, I think that it is fairly obvious, we don't know all the issues in every situation, and the more we take it apon ourselves to police the grey areas the less time we can spend developing the positive aspects of the system and the more legitimate forums will start thinking they may be under thread from petty complaints. This thread with its complaint about a post "put a weight on a keyboard" is a bit of an illustration of this. |
