Banning Jagex from my website

Hey, im not sure if this is the right forum, so move it if its wrong..

Im running a RS2 forum and I was thinking about banning Jagex from the site. Any tips how I should do this and what IPs Jagex computers have? Ive heard that Sythe has done this.

Thanks.

 

doubt you'll be able to if it is relevant to Jagex/Runescape They have the right to browse runescape forum sites

 

But I could show a empty page to all coming from Cambridge?

 

They will still be able to get on it... So there is no point.

 

they have the rights to access any releveant information about jagex copyrights so..

 

no they don't... you have a right to say, you may not look at this site... nor anyone working for you may look at this site... and who says a rs2 forum is copyrighted to jagex???? there is nothing on there that is theres....

 

yeah but if they think RWT is going on surely they can browse the site for components

 

components????? What do you mean? :/

 

like rights as in components if that aint the correct speech then im sorry lmao

 

You can't really stop them if your talking abot phishing i suggest you don't if you are talking about a normal forum such as this then just put a disclaimer on your first page saying please leave if your jagex staff all that stuff.

 

^ Disclaimers are not enough. Just because your front page says "If you are Jagex you can't enter", doesn't mean Jagex has to listen.

To be honest, you don't need to worry about Jagex. They only visit forums that really affect them (no offense) and even then don't do much.

If you're still paranoid, you could place a ban on "64.79.147.*", although placing a ban on an entire IP range is never a good idea if you have a global audience.

And keep in mind... Jagex workers still have computers with internet access at home. Just because they cannot access your site "at work" does not mean they are blocked out from your site at all.

 

it might be a bit hard to ban them i think they would be able to watch your site anyway

 

Jagex doesn't care.

I've owned a Private Server for over a year now, and have been accepting memberships for 6 months (about). Made about $600 last month, and have never even gotten contacted by Jagex. I even use some of their images on my website.

So to say that Jagex would sue or even shut down your website is obscene. They would only do it if you had a 500+ webclient on your website (runescape's new graphics).

 

Old thread is old.
