Yesterday we reported a backlash forming on the Old School RuneScape subreddit by players angry over multiple account bans that been instated over the previous night. Several accounts were allegedly banned for harassing a streamer, with players brigading the subreddit demanding proof in the form of chat logs that the players were legitimately punished.
While Jagex initially refused to release the chat logs, product manager Matthew Kemp has posted several redacted chat logs of the guilty parties.
The harassing streamers/players comment was used as that was why these accounts were initially looked into. The bug abuse rule was used as it was an appropriate length of punishment for the offence. Our systems do not work by applying a mute or ban and then deciding the time, but by choosing a rule which has been broken and applying a predetermined punishement. This system is not the best for all circumstances but we have to work with what we have.
Unsurprisingly, people who break rules and act toxic in games still lie and pass the blame when they are eventually punished. Even less surprising is that other toxic players on the subreddit have moved the goal posts as an excuse to ignore the proof that they demanded just yesterday.
