Although this is for forum mods only, Ronan has redirected me here to report a J mod.
Quick Find Code: [qfc id=317-318-606-65655684]1[/qfc] [qfc id=317-318-230-65671075]2[/qfc] & Possibly [qfc id=317-318-526-65671432]3[/qfc] Forum Moderator involved: Mod Ronan Page:Last Post:Last Summary of issue: Ronan locked the threads and redirected me to what I presume to be [qfc id=317-318-382-65629764]This[/qfc] one here, although my post is relating to our game developments schedule while Avid's is relating to the games third party rules, two completely different subjects with completely different discussion streams. Not only would posting here be off topic, which would only and rightfully so lead to those posts being hidden by a forum mod (as ApplejuiceAJ has done already in that topic, since Ronan redirected us to that thread) but it would also hamper the discussion value my topic offers and undermines my issue as the discussion will be brought up in some random page and only available to people who feel like digging through pages.
Here is a list of all the topics he has locked and redirected to Avid's topic: [qfc id=317-318-440-65672243]A[/qfc], [qfc id=317-318-395-65673903]B[/qfc], [qfc id=317-318-230-65671075]C[/qfc], [qfc id=317-318-526-65671432]D[/qfc], [qfc id=317-318-606-65655684]E[/qfc].
He later states:
[quote id=1]We do not need 5+ threads each discussing one specific point of a general topic and all being constantly bumped by the same small group of people.[/quote] Which is unfair, while that is true for some threads, some of them are also very different points, just because they all have one word in common does not make them the same.
Topics A,B,C,D can probably all be stuck under the same umbrella as they are all about third party client features. Topic C is slightly different to the rest as that is a feature locked behind a third party micro transaction while the others aren't, thus different discussions and points to raise.
So topics A B, Maybe C and D can definitely be stuck under the same topic like Ronan is trying to do (since C came first, I guess that's the one that should be unlocked). Personally I think C is a tad different to ABD since that feature is locked behind third party $3 microtransactions while the others aren't but I can see how they can be considered the same..
Topic E (3rd party & game development) is a completely different issue all together and is only related to third party indirectly unlike ABCD. It is strictly about our games update schedule and should not be lumped inbetween topics discussing third party features. It is also completely different to Avid Sparks topic [qfc id=317-318-382-65629764]here[/qfc] which is about the games rules. Mod Ronan is under the impression it's about third party clients, which if you read it, you will know yourself it is not, which really just tells me he saw the "3rd party" in the title and assumed, and didn't actually read what the topic contained. Honestly, I'm not even sure if he read any of the threads at all, considering I personally have been bumping them since their creation which was weeks ago, and Ronan ONLY locked them because Hugo tweeted him (https://twitter.com/JagexRonan/status/641320490318057473)
To summarize:
I am requesting topic [qfc id=317-318-606-65655684]E[/qfc] to be unlocked
Possibly topic [qfc id=317-318-526-65671432]D[/qfc] to be unlocked to discuss non-third party microtransaction features and merged with topic [qfc id=317-318-440-65672243]A[/qfc], [qfc id=317-318-395-65673903]B[/qfc]
If you consider 3rd party microtransaction features to be of the same nature as free third party features, then for topic [qfc id=317-318-230-65671075]C[/qfc] to be unlocked and merged with topics [qfc id=317-318-440-65672243]A[/qfc], [qfc id=317-318-395-65673903]B[/qfc], [qfc id=317-318-526-65671432]D[/qfc]
Avid Spark's topic 317-318-382-65629764 to remain unlocked to discuss the third party macro rules only
