Only just noticed this. The previous captcha is gone now, so the issue should've been sorted. That captcha is owned by Google though, so I'm sure you'll still see it on other sites.

Unlike the rest, we do. A lot.

Hey @Nblyler19, Sorry for the late response, I was on vacation like @Arix says. The first question that comes to my mind when reading this is topic is: "If Ikov did cheat, don't you think it'd make more sense to cheat +/- 100 votes above #2?" I mean, why would someone cheat 56k votes above the #2 that has 'just' 9k votes? Doing that would be extremely stupid, I'd be able to learn and block the votes 10x easier. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand your way of thinking. It indeed might seem very odd, a brand new server receiving so many votes. More than we've seen in... years? I need to be honest though: there's nothing cheated on Ikov's votes. I can even see that the majority of votes are made by known/returning visitors of RuneLocus who've been voting for other servers in the past 3-4 months. Next to that I must say Elkoy (= Ikov) had one of the best reputations when it comes to votes. In the days our anti-cheating system wasn't this good and there were a lot of cheaters on top, Elkoy was one of the few that didn't bother cheating (even though it cost him many ranks). I hardly doubt it has ever come to his mind to cheat Ikov to the top of RuneLocus. Especially not with 56k votes above #2, haha. Fact: the list is currently 'cleaner' than it has been in the past 12 years. The new captcha and the new systems we run behind the scenes have stopped all forms of cheating for at least 98%. There are still some bots around that require manual support on the captcha, but we're even able to detect most of those and remove them automatically after a few hours. Also, we've been talking to multiple cheating services in the past weeks and they all consider RuneLocus uncheatable at this moment.

Ziek said everything. We REALLY can't remove a server based on bad experiences of players. If we do that, we would end up with an empty toplist within a month.

What I find more interesting, is your pessimistic attitude. Seems like you underestimate vote detection and toplist moderation.

In the URL of your server 🙂

Imgur supports https. I don't feel like proxying external images for that lock icon 😛

Update: Forum is not on HTTPS. Some pages however contain Mixed Content errors, because e.g. your imgur-hosted signature is served over HTTP. @Arix

Ah, that indeed used to redirect. Let me re-redirect it, thanks for letting me know.

Hi everyone, As of today, RuneLocus has a brand new official Discord server. The Discord server we used in the past was owned and managed by Lusfr_. It however, with all respect for his hard work and spent time, was not being managed the way an official RuneLocus Discord should be managed. Apparently @Ziek` and I were not the only ones with that opinion, as we've been receiving confronting messages regarding the Discord on a daily basis. Hereby I'm inviting you all to the new RuneLocus Discord server: https://discord.gg/6rK7dcr The old Discord server is, as mentioned above, owned by Lusfr_. The server will be renamed and unlinked from the RuneLocus community. It is up to Lusfr_ to decide what he'll do with the server. I however, recommend you to move over to our new Discord server. That is also the new place where you'll find all RuneLocus staff members. A few notes: RSPS Owners will have to re-submit a request for the rights to post in #rsps-advertisements We'll be using the forum ranks as Discord ranks. If you have a special rank on the forum, you may request the same rank on Discord. Use #role-requests for that. As of today, no special ranks or rights will be sold. This includes the special rights to use @everyone in your advertisements. If you've purchased special ranks or rights from Lusfr_ recently, please discuss the matter with Lusfr_ directly.

The forum is not self-hosted, but is hosted by IPS. I'd have to ask them to enable it for us. Most likely won't be an issue, but I'd rather do it after my vacation and preferably also after high season. I don't want the site to end up with possible Mixed Content errors while I'm unavailable :-)

As stated, theme still needs some fixing. The theme was still in development. Due to some issues with our previous host, we were forced to upgrade to the newest version of the CMS within 14 days or we'd go offline. But the previous theme didn't support the newest version at all. That required us to release the theme in a rush, which is why certain things still aren't finished. The tools menu is the best example of what still needs to be done 🙂

Exactly my thoughts
