    Hello Rune-Server!

    We haven't had an announcement in a long while so I'll be making one just to be on the same base with everyone. In this announcement, the topics are: Moderation logs, Advertisement, Veteran Requirements, Forum Exploits, Rank Asking, and some holiday fun.

    Let's all congratulate David on his promotion to Global Moderator. He definitely deserves it. So far hes doing a tremendous amount of work and is excelling as a global mod. Give your thanks to him for that.

    Now, as in all touch-base announcements, I want to let the community know how our moderators are doing as well. I, as usual, created four graphs for the community to see themselves. Please look within the spoiler below.

    Spoiler for Moderation Logs:


    For the global moderators and administrators I have included control panel logs. Some of you may know what these are, others may not. Control panel logs are similar to moderator logs, but as you all know moderator logs are accumulated when something is, you guessed it, moderated. For example, a thread closed counts as one mod log. A control panel log differs, as when moderators or administrators utilize the panels of moderation and administration, the control panel logs are accumulated. For example, when I go and ban someone through the administrator control panel, I accumulate one log for myself for the control panel.

    Please compare the results, taking into consideration the moderators role, abilities, activity, section(s), and such. This is for you to analyze, and help you better understand how hard our moderators work...(or don't work for that matter).

    I promoted Ronaldo to computers moderator, but changed my mind. I believe he should remain as a shoutbox mod, as that's where hes best, and, the computers forum does not require a moderator assigned specifically to it. I believe David, our promoted Gmod, can still take care of it.

    Also, for the Rs2 Development Section, a moderator was added in order to aid Zee Best. A lot of work is required for that section and I just didn't see enough of it happening to my expectations. Linux is the additional moderator, and he is also moderating programming.

    Hooligan is organizing gaming competitions, so look out for those!

    The programming section is going under surgery and will have a face lift. Be sure to add your two cents in that forum.

    A new rank will be introduced, called the SOTM winner. It most likely will have a coloured name, and possibly an icon or bold. The formatting of the rank still needs to be discussed. Participate in the SOTM and you may just be the winner!

    I've been reconsidering the meaning and rule of advertisement. I think it's not as effective as it would be if we altered it slightly. I have decided on this: Advertisement is still not allowed, unless it is deemed to be helpful or knowledgeable to one.

    This means this is allowed: "Hey bobby, this is how you hack a psp! www.psphax0rforum.org/haxurpsp", but this is not: "Hey boobz! Check this outtttt www.runepooheadforums.org/index.php" Abusing of this by being a smart-ass will result in a ban. You all know what this means

    Posting your forum in your server advertisement thread is still under consideration and is still strictly not allowed. Doing so, or posting of links that aren't deemed what they are meant or said to be, and break the rules will result in the penalizing of the poster. This new, updated rule can be changed and reversed at any time so please check the rules often.

    Many people keep asking me what it takes to be a veteran on this forum. I do not hand out ranks like hotcakes and give them to people who just ask. You MUST earn it. Asking me for a rank, or veteran, will just result in a negative reply, or ignoring. To be a veteran, you must be a long time member! Currently, if I were to add a veteran, they would have to be from 2006 or early 2007. (There may be some exceptions). You must follow the rules, contribute, and help the community positively, possibly be a good coder, or an obvious/prominent dignitary. It will also be based on your input, or what you provide to rune-server. You must remain active as well. Failing to do so will result in a De-ranking. Copying and pasting these requirements, showing me them and saying, I am! I am! I am! will get you absolutely no where, and will just royally piss me off.

    Recently some members of Rune-Server used an exploit in the forum to display messages of different sorts, some being advertisements. The method of this was by using HTML coding "script src". Using exploits will result in a permanent IP ban. You all have been warned.

    Another exploint that has been occuring deals with the server status page. If you are using hosts other than the ones your server runs on to show your server have a higher uptime, or some other reason that abuses the server status page, your listing will be removed, and you will be banned. It's not allowed! This includes using Jagexs' hosts, etc.

    It has come to my attention that many members aren't receiving the email messages they should be. Perhaps the mail servers are still down. I will discuss this with Kevin.

    I encourage all members to use the report function, especially in the server advertisements section. Using the report post/thread function means that the thread WILL absolutely be dealt with within a matter of hours, or a day or two. All reports have been and must be looked at. If you see advertising, please, do us good and report it!

    Christmas and the new year is on its way! Look out for new, holiday based smileys and a theme.

    What can we do to liven up rune-server? How should we attract more crowds? If you have any suggestions, please feel free to post them in the appropriate section. This goes the same for feedback.

    If you need any help, or have an issue, I'm more than willing to help. I'm glad to give you feedback, sort any problems you may have, and take suggestions on how to make this community a better place for everyone.

    Thanks for reading. Happy Holidays! You can expect another announcement before Christmas!

    Not necessarily the purpose of moderator logs are to monitor what were doing. Each mod log shows an action.

    Elite_ I monitor all moderators mod logs and make sure they aren't bullshit, so that eliminates that factor. If I find bullshit, they are promptly confronted.

    Okay.
    Now can we do something about that damn image thing, and use that as your next announcement.
    "Removed the damn image bullshit"
    I even made the title for you

    As I said, Zee best does little to nothing. David is a fine global moderator recruit.

    I'd really like to get the veteran rank to live up with it's name, but what you said about it isn't true.

    Looks good. But, now you've made it to the moderators that it's a competition on who has the most logs.
