The costumer support team want to look good for Andrew. How can they do that? Get through all the millions of reports/queries as fast as possible by banning and muting randomly and automating replies. Doing that the boss likes them and is really nice to them, making them happy. The players being banned rightly and not for no reason doesn't make them happy. Eh, that could be a reason, lol. If I was Andrew I would watch their actions for a week, not telling them. If their banning wrongly- fired.
Oo, good idea. The best way to keep customers is to randomly mute and ban them and then just send automated replies nonstop. You should run a business, you'd get millions of users just like RuneScape has.
Alex broke a rule, he paid the price, while it may have been harsh.
When people say they were unfairly banned, often times they were banned for breaking a rule they did not know existed. Same for unfair mutes and black marks among other things.
Of course, no one is perfect, so mistakes happen and go uncorrected. This is not a case of this, so complaining about Jagex in this case is uncalled for.
Trust me, you wouldn't have that attitude if something like this happened to you, even though you perhaps follow the rules to a great extent. It happened to me. I knew the rules, I followed them, but unfortunately, I was unable to prevent myself from trying to help someone and they back-stabbed me.
However, I'm a firm supporter of second-chances. We all have our potential, and shouldn't be judged on a single incident.
As far as the backstabbing goes, I see that as a flaw in their player moderating system. This is not the first time I've seen/heard of players reporting their "friends". What would drive someone to do this? Their sheer desire to become a player moderator. I really hope that at least Jagex will take into account the situation the report was sent in and realize that the player who reported you is not player moderator material and should never become one.
Even though you were "backstabbed", you still broke the rules and Jagex takes web adveritising serious, especially to unknown sites, as advertising the "right" website allows for the bad person to break multiple more rules without Jagex there to stop them.
If you sent a website that has a forum, you could then item scam, password scam, use offensive language, ask for personal details, etc. Therefore Jagex must act in a very serious manner when people send websites as it allows for tons more rules to be freely broken.
Personally though, I feel sorry for you soley because you broke a rule trusting that your friend would not report you. If the player moderator system did not exist, your friend would have no incentive to report you and I doubt he would have (unless he was just pretended to be your friend and you had already angered him in the past, I suppose). What really hurts is that you were tricked into breaking the rule, more than all. But if your friend had said 'haha, ask me for my password' and you did it, you would have recieved punishment as well. Using common sense goes a long way, and it's better not to break rules just because you think you can get away with them.
