Some users know how to OSRS Accounts deliberately bypass filters, which makes them worthless, and if we create a filter too broad, more articles are filtered than justified. This generates more frustration for users and much more work for us while we would like to avoid over-moderating. We might look in to attempting to revive a filter to get phishing email questions, but that is a thing for us to discuss privately amongst the mod group. The preceding filter was not able to accomplish what was wanted at the moment, so it was disabled for now. These articles do share an overlap with different filters within our subreddit, so some of them are removed for other reasons.
To explain about the last sentence out of my previous remark, general, this subreddit is for Runescape’s community, and as subreddit mods, we’d rather our presence be minimal. While some other subreddits might have an extremely visible mod presence, that’s not something we’re considering. When we’ve got an important message to get across, that is 1 thing, but mod posts from us are very infrequent. In shortwe believe the subreddit ought to be the community’s voice, not the community’s voice led by subreddit mods.
I really don’t think anybody in any capability anticipates a plug and play solution nor anticipates anyone in the mod group to break their spine for no cover. Filters require upkeep to correctly operate, take spam filters for e-mail; that’s decades of work to be certain that the Nigerian prince doesn’t make it into your inbox and hell occasionally it doesn’t work, occasionally my 2FA ends up in spam, but we still don’t delete a spam filter. I just wish to explain that I am not here grilling you in some presser or some thing just having a conversation.
