High Level Forums
Hey there, recently there has been the creation of "High Level Forums" which are private. Private forums which are meant for people with 99 in all skills OR for clan leaders of well established clan. Anyway someone could add this to the article? Dr Locust 02:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

I have added the High Level and Clan Leaders Forums to the articleSoldier 1033 22:07, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Soldier_1033

Re: Criticism
Is it possible to get some sources for this criticism, as that'd at least show why it's 'many people' which is a huge qualifier of what might be, or might not be, the case.

A good link for such sources of such discussion would be: http://forum.runescape.com/lang/en/aff/runescape/forums.ws?28,29

That particular forum is a good place where players who use these "Official Forums" discuss their views on it as well as make suggestions for improving it.

It would be nice too see examples, or else a suggestion, on how those things can be done better via the critical review of the service here.

Unfortunately, there are no official news sources for this criticism. Which is why it feels wrong to say 'many people' when we don't have any statistical figures to back that statement up here.

As for those volunteers who moderate the forums greeting players 'with disdain', I doubt Jagex would allow any player to be a moderator should they ever 'disdain' another player in the true sense of the word.

You could highlight that such criticism would be taken very seriously by Jagex, if based in fact, and should be reported via "Comment on our service" link on the front-page of the RuneScape site. If players could provide evidence that any volunteer is doing Jagex and the RuneScape community a disservice it's likely they'd be very interested.

Maybe this article could go some way to identifying the facts behind any of these issues, as well as helping to solve them.

Redirect?
I can't seem to be able to access the forums for some reason, and when clicking the redirect to go to the forums here, it sends you right back to this article. Is my comp just messy, or what? 10:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I can go on the main RS forums. Maybe your computer is just running a bit slow and the connection is timing out. Cheers, [[Image:Kandarincrest.gif|25px]] Chicken7 >talk>sign 10:21, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

No, I don't mean the RSB, I mean our wikia forums.
 * Oh lol. Hmmmmm. Interesting. I get the same problem. You better tell an administrator and they might be able to help. Thanks, [[Image:Kandarincrest.gif|25px]] Chicken7 >talk>sign 12:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Adding individual pages for each forum
I was wondering if an individual page should be made for each forum?? I could easily write the page for about 5 of the Forums since i spend more time on the forums then i do in-game??

I just think that currently the big list near the bottom of the page looks weird without being linked to anything Evil yanks 10:40, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't think 1 page for each forum would be very good, it would just make more stub articles. How about a page named "RuneScape Forums/Directory", divided up into sections briefly (1 paragraph or so...) describing each forum - it's purpose, problems, controversies etc. 10:47, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

That makes more sense. I might try to make that tomorrow. I have never written any large amounts of text before so try is the word Evil yanks 10:57, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I mean something like this... 11:12, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Images from the forums
If no one minds, I'm going to get the individual images that denote each forum (like a D&D Star for the Distractions and Diversions forums, and an egg for the Summoning market one) and upload them.

forum spam
i can tell by the background that it's a jmod post so it's not accurate 13:47, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * What exactly do you mean by that? 13:23, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't we use an actual example of forum spam (that was made by an actual player). just a thought  13:47, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * So, I'M not an actual player? =P 13:54, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If you want a new image, I'll be happy to make a new one, just tell me what to put in it. 12:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I had appeared golden to me. X=]  04:38, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Private forums?
Can anybody back this up with something released by Jagex which will support what was is in the article? Thanks, 10:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'll link it to the official Jagex sticky.Soldier 1033 15:49, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Forums and Your Inbox
Under the External Links section at the bottom of the page there is a link to a RuneScape KBase article labeled 'Forums and Your Inbox'. The link doesn't work.

Does anyone know which article this link is referring to, or what the correct URL is?--Soldier 1033 04:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I think that it linked to the KB article on the forums. I will update it to the newer link now. Also i will link it to the KB article on rule 14 - Misuse of forums Evil yanks 09:57, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

RS HD graphics update
When High Definition was released and they redid the front page, the forums graphics also got revamped. Do you think that the graphics update should go under the versions heading, somewhere else or just not go there at all. Also, I have a few images of the actual forums and the inside of a thread from before the update (i don't have one of the homepage though). Should i just remove the names and just put them next to the text or get some current images and compare them?? Evil yanks 09:55, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Total Revamp of the forums section.
I plan over the next few weeks, maybe months to totally revamp the entire forums section, with some new sections added. I have already added the entire features of the forums section. I will put ideas here so people can say if they think that is pointless or should be put on its own separate. Some of these things Evil yanks 04:58, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Add the RS HD forums graphics update to versions of the forums
 * Expand on the forums directory. Maybe put it on its own page??
 * Once expanded Forums Directory, add uses, advantages and disadvantages for every forum (i am not sure about this)
 * Uses of the forums??
 * Major Events (Not sure about this)
 * Commonly suggested forum ideas(like showing your post count beneath your name or making your my profile page customisable) (not sure about this either)

New images
Hi I got the images for High Levels and Clan Leaders by guessing the URL's.. They were fairly easy to guess and I got them in about 20 tries. 00:29, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you tell me those urls by any chance?Knd563 04:16, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I know them :) Melitwin 07:44, 21 March 2009 (UTC) http://www.runescape.com/img/forum/icons/high_level.jpg http://www.runescape.com/img/forum/icons/clan_leader.jpg

New Forums
We need to get a full page of the forums now that there is another sub-forum added.--King x treme 23:22, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
