I'd love to thank someone

It's unfortunate that these sort of things happen but once again there is nothing we can do about it. We can't control what people report and don't report. We have to have confidence that Jagex will not simply press a mute/ban button on any report that comes in. We have to hope that they are looked over fairly and only acted upon if something truly goes wrong.

This serves as another warning to not joke about anything that's rule breaking material as Jagex can't be 100% sure if it is a joke or not. We also know that since the recent addition of the player safety stronghold they are cracking down on anything that could put a play in danger as they are technically liable.

Having another chat channel to "joke" wouldn't solve anything, it would only become a brewing ground for these sort of things to happen. Once again joking around is not a good idea.

Members are free to do whatever they want with their own chat channel, there's nothing we can do about that. I'm just going to warn you that the same sort of thing would happen there eventually, so be careful.

I want everyone to read the first post of this topic, particularly what's in bold red.

Just remember be careful and remember the Jagex rules, we can't say that they don't apply in clan chat since the chat channel is on RS itself.

PS: I would be careful about talking about giving your account to "the unlucky person who got reported for joking around"...

ok, im very mad about this, and there is something almost as corrupt as when my bros account got banned! im not mad at you shane, i just thought the site and higher ups were better then this..... maybe i went to the wrong place for people who report nothing about the others...

thanks imac, thats actually what i needed... thanks ok, im cool now.... sorry, i just think this is crazy....sorry to anybody i might have offended..... and plz dont think im a hotshot, im not but please i need your thoughts, do you think that is right? i mean, it was the rsbandb forum and i know the rule about joking, but i think they should have given him a rsbandb warning, official or not, whats yor thoughts?

ok, that makes a lot more sense.... i guess i just want justice, and thats not gonna happen so im done here

your not even involved in this at all shane and mike can't control who gets reported on runescape and who doesn't this whole thing has nothing to do with you. Justice can't be brought and it never will because if the person were to say that he or she did it he or she would be shunned.

It's always unfortunate when someone gets reported in the CC, but just remember that clan chats aren't magical tickets to break the rules. For all we know, Jagex may have some sort of auto-detect for certain rules.

And no, I'm not saying this because I have reported anyone in the BnB chat.

No, I wouldn't. In fact, I break tons of rules in private chats with my closest friends. But anyone can be in a clan chat. You never know who might hold a grudge against you or something.

I wouldn't report a friend, regardless of whether they're breaking a rule or not.

It would be nice if we had a more lenient set of rules in clan chat since we're entering it by choice. But until that happens, there's no way of knowing who's listening, so assuming that no one is going to report a flippant remark is a foolish risk. Save the questionable stuff for IM where Jagex can't touch you and don't take chances in clan chat.
