Rather than requesting a community of OSRS Accounts 234,037 people and using a bot hit your inbox near instantly together:"If you believe you have received a phishing effort please verify sender address (example), domain (example), here are the usual examples (hyperlink ). In case you have received an attempt please report it at (helpful navigation to get to forum post."

In regard to our system"working fine as is," we are aware that it's not ideal, but there isn't always a solution that fulfills issues from all perspectives. Additionally, there are different issues taking up our time, and we're just volunteers, thus we do not always have the time to devote to address a number of those smaller problems. My previous remarks were meant to explain why the problem stands as it currently does for the specific issues mentioned, not explain why things will not change.

The vast majority of users see the subreddits as being independent anyway ( runescape = RS3 and 2007 runescape = OSRS), so this isn't something we've needed to tackle prominently because the quantity of OSRS-related submissions here is minimal. 1 complication with article filtering is it can't be assumed users will always use criteria in a place that will trip a filter since this isn't necessarily the case. AutoModerator filters based on particular standards, so building an accurate list that's only specific to what you are attempting to capture is not always possible.

Some users know how to intentionally bypass filters, making them useless, and when we make a filter overly broad, more articles are filtered than warranted. This creates more frustration for users and much more work for us while we'd like to avoid over-moderating. We might look into attempting to revive a filter to get phishing email inquiries, but that's something for us to talk in private amongst the mod team. The previous filter was not able to accomplish what was wanted at the moment, so it was disabled for the time being. These articles do share an overlap with different filters in our subreddit, therefore some of them are removed for different reasons.

To explain on the previous sentence out of my previous remark, general, this subreddit is for Runescape's community, and as subreddit mods, we would rather our existence be minimal. We don't wish to be in the spotlight for driving community conversation. While a few other subreddits may have an extremely visible mod presence, that is not something we're considering. When we have an important message to get across, that is one matter, but mod posts from us are very infrequent. In short, we believe the subreddit should be the community's voice, not the community's voice led by subreddit mods.

I don't think anyone in any capacity anticipates a plug and play solution nor anticipates anyone in the mod team to break their spine for no pay. Filters require maintenance to properly operate, take spam blockers for RS 2007 Fire Cape e-mail; that's decades of work to make sure that the Nigerian prince doesn't make it to your inbox and hell occasionally it still doesn't work, sometimes my 2FA ends up in spam, but we don't delete a spam filter. I just wish to clarify that I'm not here grilling you in some presser or something simply having a conversation.
