Glad this has been done, but ROT leaders are still ranked contributor's in the PVP feedback discord with direct access to J-Mods to influence the game. Surely this privilege should be removed due to this?
Edit: Mod Goblin posted that the server will be shutdown https://imgur.com/0jlNjMq
The Discord has been closed and will ultimately be moved over to the official Old School Discord in the future.
Just in the interest of clarity though, this Discord server has always been public for people to view. We just had to limit discussion to certain individuals which were based on an application form when it was first set up to help facilitate PvP talks with people who engaged with it directly. There was no bias to any clan when we were doing this process, as we wanted to hear from as many sides as possible (it's very easy to find one particular clan suggest a series of ideas that benefit them, whereas another will have alternate views etc.)
In hindsight, there were much better ways we could have gone about this, but at the time we did what felt fair and the best approach (it was set up a fair few years back now!)
Thanks for the response, I've edited my original message to include that its being shutdown. I was aware of the discord and I used to actually read quite a few of the discussions, however as someone who disagreed but wasn't able to participate, it felt like it could easily become an echo chamber. Happy to see other methods are being looked into.
Thanks for making the edit!
I also agree on the echo chamber part. We didn't really like how limited chatting was either, but in truth we didn't have the resources available to change it so it was just left there.
When a new place for PvP discussion inevitably opens up again we have a lot of learnings to put into place to so hoping it'll be a much better offering for everyone :)
It was clear action needed to be taken to protect the future health of the game. As such, we can confirm the following:
- A further 204 accounts have been permanently banned for various offences within Old School RuneScape.
Can Jagex clarify is this 204 accounts permanently banned on top of the "over 140 already" as it implies? bringing the total to over 345+, or is this 204 total accounts.
I think it's important because to me 204 accounts in total, most being throw aways is something I am not happy with. 204 on top of the 140+ throw aways, that is something that sounds like real action.
The bans mentioned in this post are in addition to any previous action that has already been taken.
