Are these types of threads allowed?

The threads I refer to of course, are 'rage threads'.

Example: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1325608

Other examples:

"Omfg I'm quitting RS Jagex has ruined this game."

"GOT FUCKING TWO DEFENCE ON MY PURE!@_)@)"

etc.

I see soooo many in RS General. They're basically spam. Certainly these types of threads can be reported and dealt with?

 

They are allowed under the current rules, because they are technically discussions. I wouldn't really consider them spam, but you could try making a suggestion about it to see what others think.

 

Well the thread in question got closed, but I guess it really comes down to whether (as x339 stated) they have enough information in them to warrant a good, healthy discussion. If not, report the threads and the moderators will decide whether it deserves to stay open or not.

 

I suppose they are allowed, but that thread just turned into a load of spam. So it's what gets posted to the thread in question that depends on whether it gets closed. They are discussion, so originally they are allowed.

 

It's on a case-by-case basis. One thread could encourage health discussion/debate, while another one could be spam. Deal with them accordingly, if it's spam, just report it.
