new rule "RAGE BAITING"

[peak violet]

this post is more or less to seperate out a rule so it's not grouped up and confusing to understand as in the article compared to in-game it is actually confusing to understand which rule it falls under.

the article just says that this situation would be considered inappropriate language/behaviour. but does not specify which in-game tile on report screen should be used.

one of the big issues with Toxicity in the community is people trying to bait others into getting mad then leveraging the method to continue to enrage a player to violate the rules in response to there initial statments which would feel like they are bordering violating the rules, when they cant enrage someone they will go directly to violating the rules themselves by going completely over the line.

and/or also using the below to try to stay under the radar of single acc users which wish to warn and/or enforce the rules of runescape.

toxic community using ignore list to prevent rule enforcers from being able to see chat violating the rules.

they are using this mechanic of the game to abuse the rules of runescape, by trying to hide what they are doing from anyone openly willing to warn/enforce the rules.

SUGGESTION: to those who encounter this type of behaviour it is best to stay calm, keep responses general & attempt to diffuse the situation occuring.

give some time for a context of the situation to develop before reporting someone for the rule violation(s) while doing your best to not act like they are back towards them.

or in other words, inflammatory behaviour

that's a hard one to enforce because it's more subjective and depends on the person

some "fun at the expense of others" (including in text form) isn't worthy of a mute and some is

No support, block em and move on.

fun at the expense of others shouldnt lead to telling players to go kill themselves or delete the game or baiting them to violate the rules of the game.

also using the basis of u mad bro, get madder!, ect (under certain context, which is very rarely used in other situations other then rage baiting someone to violate rules by trying to egg on the person)

yeah it's just too broad

probably throw it under disruptive behaviour and seriously offensive language

buuuuut if this is implemented it wouldn't really matter as the rules are extremely poorly enforced anyway

[peak violet]

unfortunatly that is due partly to alot of people are afk/just dont care about the community/on mobile which is hard to use chat or alot of people just dont read the rules and try to understand them so they dont know what is actually against the rules for the game.

.

i did suggest to add more context for bug reports which they did, but it seems there could be an extra option on the player report screen atleast to better show what falls under that option specifically before confirming a report.

[stable sparrow]

nah, it doesn't necessarily have to do with number of reports

the reports ain't being actioned enough

sure part of that could be lazy pmods who are AFKing but those punishments start as temporary anyway

need more jmod action
