The CDT is always looking for sponsors for events, competitions and tournaments.
CLICK HERE if you are interested in sponsoring a future event or have an idea for an event you would like to sponsor.

The community around SytheLib made great progress throughout September and October.

The library was trained to read OSRS font using machine learning.
A plugin was updated to start machine learning, within the game, with the intention to learn as you play.
It will take a picture on a set interval (approximately every second) and pull data from the plugin to automatically label said data.

Admins have discussed changing a rule regarding responsibility during services. Click Here

After some discussion with the other admins we're going to be changing the ruling here:

Ordering services comes with many risks, not just to the customer but to the service provider as well. We encourage the use of Terms of Service to both provide protection and to allow for easy dispute resolution. Unfortunately in this situation the ToS did not cover the outcome of a bank being cleared during the service, and given that this is a high value Ironman account, we do have to hold the service provider liable for the loss as it is unlikely that the customer was the one who removed the items from the account.

Compensation for cases like these is difficult to calculate, as many of the items lost involve some form of RNG grind that allows for great variance in the cost to regain these items via services. In a previous report we ruled that 4x the cleaned bank value was a reasonable compensation number. The wealth removed judging from the provided bank GIFs totals to roughly 1.35b, meaning that @Exxistential owes @Spencercslv1 a total of 5.4b 07. I have added a DNT to @Exxistential until this amount has been repaid.

This is an incredibly unfortunate situation for both parties, and there should have been a proper agreement formed beforehand that discussed liability in the event of the bank being cleared, especially given the value of the account that was being worked on.

We hope at the very least this report can act as a reminder to both customers and service providers that risks like this can and should be avoided.
