We changed the requirements to make them more clear like the SKOTM requirements change a month back.

Rather than just "we don't want you to know, you'll be on it eventually if you keep posting", the requirements are now known but with a few changes from before.

The total posts requirement was removed to not encourage people to spam to get on them and it's mostly based on current activity now.

We didn't want to make the requirements too high to eliminate people who would be called active members of the community but don't post much, while at the same time, making it easy for new members of the community to be on the high scores as long as they remain an active member of our community.

You can see the current requirements on the FAQ page: http://highscores.rsbandb.com/runescape ... full_high_scores/faq

The requirements can still be up for debate, but they seem to be fine to me at the moment.

Just a question, Mike: If someone then goes on vacation for more than a week, and can't log into the forums, would their achievements and xp gained and stuff get deleted off the highscores when they are removed? Or would they still be saved for when they next get put on?

The data is saved for 6 months, and they are set to hidden.

If they don't come back before that time, the data is deleted.

I'll add that to the FAQ
