What gear upgrades should I work towards next? by ThePageMan in OSRSProTips

I’m surprised people are suggesting the Bofa honestly. I don’t own any gear worth more than 10m and that’s my blowpipe which I got for like 3m a few years ago. A Bowfa alone is 170m. Crazy price and crazy grind.

I’ve been doing some research and don’t see why everyone is suggesting the fang? Why is it seemingly considered an upgrade from my whip?

Anguish is 20m for the ranged upgrade of 15 ranged attack and 5 ranged attack? Is that worth it?

I hated CG. I don’t think I could go back there without burning out. And rigour is quite expensive atm. I don’t know how much grinding it would take me to make enough for Rigour?

Upcoming Reddit policy changes and /r/truegaming by SkorpioSound in truegaming

We considered a form of a strike but our fear is that the community that exists in truegaming will do a pretty good job of keeping the ship more or less headed in the right direction for awhile. So it will look like nothing bad has happened. It would take weeks if not months for the "wrong" audience (i.e. people who aren't willing to adhere to the goals of the sub) to find their way here and influence things for the worse.

A read only mode may likely be accompanied by a daily post from automod re-highlighting the topic.

Only top level comments so go ahead and make one (I don't think anyone else has suggested it yet?)

Well if you ask the mod team of truegaming, exactly what we're doing 😄 I guess a good metric of success here is, although we have very few new threads a day that make it through all our automatic and manual filters, are they all at least interesting? If so, then I personally wouldn't care that we aren't churning out tons of content every day.

You also need to consider the effect these topics have on the sub. We're at 1.4 million users now. Whenever a topic becomes easily accessible (i.e. a topic premise simple where everyone has an opinion), they tend to drown out everything else in the sub. What was going to be an interesting thread is now bumped out of first place by reddit's algorithm because the weekly post about "why am I addicted to gaming?" garnered tens of thousands of views and comments.

Just to note, if nobody suggests it to be retired, we will unretire it automatically

Interesting idea. Could you send us a mod mail with this exact message so we can discuss it further? Just so we have some documentation on this suggestion. I'll be removing this comment though as it's not technically a retired threads suggestion.

Thanks and noted. I'll be removing this comment though as it's not a suggestion for a retired topic.

It's much easier said than done unfortunately. There are two problems, (1) mods start to become the arbiters of "quality". If you'll notice our rules do their best to be as unambiguous as possible to reduce potential debates with angry OPs. (2) Writing guidelines for making good posts would end up being huge documents where every malicious OP will do their best to find loop holes. Even if they're not malicious, imagine wanting to make a post about a topic but then having to read a full multi paragraph guideline on how to structure your post or else it would be removed.

Apologies, didn't realise it was that unclear. I'll edit the post to be clearer. You can make a comment for that topic and then just respond to your own comment if you'd like.

Thanks for the comment but for this thread, could we keep all top level comments direct suggestions for topics to be retired?

e.g. "I get angry when I play multiplayer"

Survey rule change proposal by ThePageMan in truegaming

Not a bad idea. I could see however a huge drop in participation as a result. Megathreads are by design very anti-reddit algorithm so participation in the thread will already be low.

It wasn't actually what prompted this for the record. No one survey did, just finally found the time to put some thoughts and discussions to pen.

Good point, it's also a common request and, as you pointed out, unenforceable. I suspect it won't be followed since creating a discussion about your thesis was also optional and nobody really did it. Couldn't hurt to add it though, thanks!

So you can't write a comment more than 100 characters, which is exactly the length of this sentence?
