The fact that they added a plugin for the game that warns you about people is so powerful for their organization

What makes runescape so interesting is the fact that so much black market crimes or scams happen. That is a big part of the game. It's cool runewatch sees 25% items returned. That's a lot better than 0%. Just remember that if they weren't able to help everyone.

I remember administrating things after the founder left and Veq took ownership. I was able to run things differently and started a new way of how cases got published similar to the way RW takes upon cases. But being one man running a discord with 1 mod, and handling all cases and returns on top of a 50+ hour work week, was quickly burning me out. P.S. Thanks for not putting me under any buses here, much appreciated. I had no issues with RW staff nor any personal issues with the founder of RSJ, I was simply running cases to the best of my ability. - Dragon

Veq was also a really cool guy to work with, he gave/kept me full control over rsj, giving me the ability to help the community. It was an enjoyable experience that I wish I could have had the time to keep going.

I remember the Rune Police asking people for their passwords in Varrock back in RS2, is this the same police we are talking about?

That pic of the FAQ from the Runescape Justice saying that they think it's "healthy" for people to be able to accuse others of anything without any proof is literally insane. What could be possibly be a legitimate reason for that? All I can think of is laziness or greediness for not wanting to investigate cases. Which, I guess I can't really fault someone for not wanting to do volunteer work vetting accusations, but then don't have a website specifically for that.

I guess maybe they were thinking about the small amount of players that were scammed but were unable to obtain evidence and only knew their name. Even if you take that into account its not "healthy" because that crowd is much much smaller and of course the false reports happening instead made it more bad then good.

The main reason I quit playing RS3 about 4~ years ago was because of a scammer. I'd finally made 90m, and told myself that when I hit 100m, I'd upgrade my gear. I'm not the best player, by far. I played pretty casually. But I had fun, getting gear for myself, and seeing if I could do things myself. Saw a dude with a lot of people following him doing a drop party, so I thought 'Why not? It's been ages since I've seen one, so why not attend.' Followed along, and they lead us all to the upstairs of Varrock East bank. They began dropping full rune sets, Whips, Dragon pieces. I was genuinely surprised this kind of thing still happened. Then one guy said " Oh, I know you. You're X person from Y clan, right? Do you still do doubling? " Jump to 10 minutes later, and a few dosen trades, with them announcing what a person gave them, and how much they doubled it to. People thanking them, and then they continued doing more drops. I thought 'Alright, this doesn't look like a scam. Maybe he's a genuinely nice person.' Wrong. I traded them 5m, they doubled it to 10m in two trades. Traded them 10m. Doubled to 20m. Traded them 60m, and they said they were being flooded with trades, and that they'd write my name down. Ten minutes pass, and three of us are now asking to be traded our money back. Turns out, about 80% of the people there were in on it, and were being paid from the money they managed to scam. Being told to trade all the items they picked up back, and they'd get a cut of the profits. The next day, I asked if I could have my money back, I didn't want it doubled, just give the 60m back, and I got told 'Earn it. Work for me, and you can earn it back. :)' I crashed the guys scams until my membership ran out, and never logged in to RS3 again.

I got scammed a tbow split, contacted runewatch and got the guy put on there etc. but belinda, one of the runewatch mods or watever, told me to add the guys name on rs3 because it allowed me to always see their name changes or somethin. Just a fun little piece of info that many probably don't know, I know I didn't.

Honestly i don't like it. Vigilante justice is almost never done with good intentions, it's usually done just so they can feel good about themselves. Scamming is also going to exist no matter what, and the best way to avoid scams is to be smart. I remember being scammed when a guy told me to drop my valuables, then he gave me a weird food, he told me if i ate it all of my ground items would be turned into something rare. I pretended to take off my g rune armor and dropped a lobster on the floor because i knew it was a trick, and i ate it out of pure curiosity because i wanted to see what happened, it teleported me, the guy was like "thx for the stuff lol" and i replied "i dropped a lobster lol" and it was just a funny moment. That's just part of runescape.

Yeah honestly removing people from a list is a dumb idea because they'll just scam someone when they know they can get away with it. One of the best deterrents is the threat of someone being permanently on a watch list and not being able to group up with anyone essentially killing the account. This system just allows you to return shit and get away for free lol.
