Not really sure what went through that hollow head of yours when you made this comment, but I’m not in a clan. I’d say your comment is the poorest piece of content in this thread, but feel free to to try again. Just don’t try too hard, I wouldn’t want you to give yourself a migraine from overstressing that reptilian brain of yours.

We have recently begun adding new staff members to the team that will be helping us focus further on Community Development and Community Event Planning. Both have expressed a desire to get further involved, so please give them a warm welcome! @cxntrxl, Representing Irrelevant Outcasts. @oliver, Representing APEX. We are still looking for several other individuals, so if you're interested, we highly encourage you to fill out an application! Thank you.

Thank you to everyone who participated! This poll is now closed and all posts containing even a single vote category cast have been hidden to prevent further editing. We appreciate everyone's involvement this year and hope to have the results and awards available to you soon!

Fatality could propel itself much further if idiots like Elve weren’t ranks. That could be a New Years Resolution for them.

I think a good handful of the staff members here appreciate your honesty and concern. However, this idea that if a community site was eliminated that it would generate less toxicity and more growth isn’t true in practice. Zybez shutting down actually caused a substantial amount of harm to main clans and their scene, simply because that buffer that used to exist between clans no longer existed. It became harder for some groups to reach out to newer people because they lacked name recognition, and actually made toxic behavior worse. They don’t socialize, they don’t go to each other for fights, they just crash each other endlessly which isn’t healthy for their scene. You seem to think that this community *does* offer a value to clans and participants (as you mentioned near the end of your video), which runs counter to the larger point you tried to make. Furthermore, we have been trying to actively engage with clan leaders and community members, and we’ve been toying with ideas that *WILL* give them a much louder voice and bring them into the administrative processes here, but every time something new is proposed, the trolls come out of the woodwork and slam the idea(s) as useless and then we’re back to square one. Clans don’t want to see members of rival clans have an impactful voice on the scene, so rather than working together with us, they tear each other down in front of us, which doesn’t accomplish anything. The problem isn’t SharkBrew. The problem is the isolationist and tribalist mentalities that a lot of clan leaders and members have developed. We’ve voiced these concerns before. If anyone wants to be part of our process here, PLEASE message us. If you want a voice, reach out, we *WILL* and *DO* listen. We care about this community just as much as you guys do and want to see it thrive, and we welcome new ideas and fresh perspectives. Again, I appreciate the video and the conversation you’re drumming up. If you want to work with us on making the scene the best it can be, I’d love to have a direct conversation with you so we can discuss these details more thoroughly.

Regarding recent events and discussions related to the conduct of one of our staff members, we have agreed that a temporary demotion for @DilLis the appropriate action to take in addition to educating him on what is and isn't considered appropriate conduct for staff members to engage in. While it is apparent that there has been a significant amount of concern trolling and exaggerated outrage regarding the situation, it is our opinion that Dill did cross a line with his conduct. While we do allow staff members that participate in community/clan activities to engage with community banter, we cannot allow the use of disparaging, obscene or hateful language in any fashion. We will be using his brief period of suspension to re-align him with our goals for this team, and the wider community. Please note that any attempts to bait Dill for his recent suspension will result in action being taken against the offender(s). This only serves to create further negative discourse and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Thank you.

You should have seen their stance on clients back in 2006-07. Something as simple as a world switching client (Think Swiftswitch) was largely a bannable offense. It had all of the same functionality of the world switchers currently integrated into the game and into other clients like RuneLite. It was much more restrictive. I feel like what has encouraged this level of action from Jagex are some new features recently implemented into clients like OSBuddy that change or bypass certain interface options to speed up a task. Additionally, a lot of the things being highlighted also target Exilent in a pretty substantial manner. The frustrating part about these updates is that Jagex would rather paint with broad strokes than to take an official stance against specific features that go too far, which puts some client features that serve only as a small quality of life adjustment to fall within their crossfires of what is considered a “bannable offense.” This is an incredibly thoughtless and lazy way of dealing with a pretty large pool of different features, most of which are pretty benign.

I guess you missed the joke?

At least the main scene would get more action from this.

Imagine being proud that your discord is filled with the people that were banned from our channel for doxing. What a fucking community leader you turned out to be. You depend on scum just to be active, so your discord might as well be dead.

No one is crying, just calling you for your bullshit. Boards are still up and accessible, so I guess that was another lie you just told. Stop pretending that you’re not a snake because you clearly are.

But they still exist, do they not? :kek:

I dunno, looks like a forum to me (regardless of how massive a failure it is).

At least @FLOWERrecognized Clan Warfare was a joke. Smart kid, glad to have him here on Sharkbrew.

Weird, that’s clearly a lie. Just like your intentions when you tried to apply for a rank here. A whole 16 members registered on your forums, and your discord channel is a dox fest. Glad to hear things are going so well for you!

That’s a prefix that is added by a user when a topic is created. I went ahead and removed it as well.

Adjusted topic title to eliminate clickbait. No audio leak appears to exist.

Welcome.

5. Security We are committed to the safety and security of all of our members. Our website has Two-Factor Authentication enabled to provide additional security to your forum account. All IP addresses on our website are hashed, and all registered e-mail accounts are encrypted to ensure that user information is protected and no abuse can take place. If you encounter a website error or bug (Broken website functions, resource clipping, etc.), please report it to a member of staff immediately so it can be corrected.

4. Points System Revision Along with our newly updated policies, the points system is being revised after assessing that it has become too lax to the point that it no longer holds users accountable for their actions. The system will remain a 5 point system, with lesser offenses carrying lower point values, and more serious offenses carrying higher values. In addition, suspension times will be adjusted based on the total amount of points carried. Verbal Warnings will carry a zero-point value and any posting restrictions applied will be at the discretion of involved staff, for no more than 12 hours maximum. Upon receiving a total of: 1 Point - 24 Hour (1 Day) Suspension 2 Points - 72 Hour (3 Day) Suspension 3 Points - 1 Week Suspension 4 Points - 2 Weeks Suspension 5 Points - Permanent Suspension In addition to these new time frames, points will decay over a period of 90 Days from the original date of offense. This is to ensure that the system is not abused by repeat offenders. Staff members will leave a detailed explanation for members related to the nature of their offense. Permanent Suspensions may be appealed after a period of 30 days from the original date of the ban, and are acknowledged at the discretion of community administration. Heinous offenses will not be considered for appeal.

3. Blackmail, Racketeering, and Exploitation There has been a growing and disturbing trend of certain clans and users attempting to use SharkBrew in a manner that damages the community, harms activity in-game, and creates a threatening environment for everyone involved. We will not facilitate behavior that seeks to manipulate other groups or individuals, and violation of the following restrictions will lead to swift and harsh punishments that can lead to a permanent community removal and/or your clan being disqualified/barred from community events dependent on the severity of each case. We will not allow: Issuance of demands or threats (either real and/or hypothetical) in an attempt to control the behaviors, activity, or recruitment efforts of other parties or individuals. (This includes threats of non-stop crashing, DDoSing, hacking of other users, or doxing). Leveraging fear of retaliation over other parties or individuals that refuse to conform to issued demands or threats (either real and/or hypothetical). Demanding money, in-game currency, or any service as payment for "protection" from demands or threats (either real and/or hypothetical) issued by various other parties or individuals.

This thread serves literally zero purpose.
