Andrew on the Recent Update Forums has Updated Rule 7, Once again which makes most World Shifting Programs once again illegal.

Andrew's Post link:
QUOTE(Andrew Gower)
We recently made some slight changes to rule 7. This has been done for a very specific reason to solve a particular (very bad) problem which occurred. We had a very good reason to change it. I can't really go into detail, but this wasn't just done on a whim.

We've been careful to make the minimal change to solve just the problem that occurred, and to make sure the change doesn't impact further than necessary. Some people seem to think this rule change will have big impact, but it shouldn't really, and hopefully in a few days time that will be clear. We are already working with other people to make sure we aren't accidentally disallowing things we didn't mean to. It's only really a couple of very specific problems we are trying to avoid.

There's not a lot to add here in terms of clarification of the rule because the rule is already written as clearly as we can manage. (if there were further things we thought we could say to make it clearer we'd put them in the rule itself). So all I can do is suggest you carefully read the rule. It should make sense.

Important: Please note that the 'no advertising' rule applie]s to these forums as always. Threads which advertise or discuss third party websites or software will therefore be removed.


The Changes of the rules, are the guildlines of what world shifting programs do which they know how to do the following:

QUOTE(Rule #7 Update @ Using Third Party Software)
You also must not use any RuneScape-specific third party software which encourages breaking of our rules, or bypasses the normal navigation of our website, or automatically requests pages from our website, or which endangers user accounts.
    Third party software that displays pages/content from our website(s), and which has RuneScape specific features (i.e. RuneScape toolkits) must not be used to access our website unless that software conforms with all of the other rules, and the following additional rules:
  • If must not encourage rule-breaking or endanger users.
  • It must not contain adverts or links to websites which encourage rule-breaking or endanger users.
  • It must not automatically request pages/content from our website or otherwise make excessively bandwidth intensive requests from our servers (each page/content request should only be in direct response to a user request each time).
  • It must not bypass the normal navigation of our website. The software should initially only point at the front page of www.runescape.com, and should require the user to navigate through the website normally to reach the game worlds. The software must not contain direct links to our "Select a world" page, or to our game world pages, or to the RuneScape applet.
  • It must not hide or encourage the hiding of any of the adverts on our website. To avoid encouraging users to hide the advert above the game the pane displaying pages from our website must default to at least 630 pixels high (if viewed on a screen with a resolution higher than 800x600), and it must not be possible to resize it to less height than that. i.e. the page must be displayed in such a way that both the game and advert are fully visible at the same time.
  • It must not attempt to make it easier to enter a busy RuneScape world than it would be for users not using the software. It must not allow worlds marked as 'FULL' on the world select page to be selected. It must not contain any features to make it easier to enter or monitor busy worlds.
  • If the software has its own integrated chat feature, separate from the RuneScape chat, it should make it very clear to users that this chat is not part of RuneScape and is not official, endorsed or moderated by Jagex in any way. Furthermore, this chat should still be moderated (just not by us), and the moderators should not allow chat which infringes our rules of conduct. To avoid confusion with the official RuneScape chat, moderators of the external chat should not be indicated with a silver or gold crown. If the chat is IRC based, then the software should only allow access to IRC channels which conform with the above.


Strider isn't doing anything about it, Jagex changed around the world page too and they just released an SS update that works with the updated worlds, despite this new rule... Strider doesn't seem to care from what I hear, it would probably give him some gratification to have a mass ban then a huge uproar.. The ops on swiftirc are simply misinforming the users like 'it cant be detected'..

Why it'll end up with mass ban?
QUOTE(From Rule #7 @ Using Third Party Software)
How does the new macro detection system work?
Our new macro detection system monitors activity on our servers and detects suspicious behaviour. This evidence is reviewed by our team of experts who either confirm or reject the system's analysis. Jagex will not reveal the exact mechanics of how this system works because this would make circumvention easier.

Just a friendly warning!

they sorted it out, because swift switch changed the way the program works so that it is legal now.

im sure those mods just dont have very up to date info

later in the thread a dif mod said

Remember that whilst a piece of software may not offer any tremendous benefit for playing the game it can still offer several security risks to your computer and your account. My advice, if it doesn't have Jagex's approval then you should avoid using it.


that tells me that the mod just made a mistake and got use it at the own risk and against the rules mixed up
