Completely agreed - not only due to relevance but that the whole policy has lived it's day since the soviet union collapsed. Hopefully, this part of Jagex will bring enough life here to push an effort to look to turn the community more outwards and open and less inwards and despotic. It's been a tradition here for certain factions to simply enjoy over-moderating things (not just forums, but also in game).

Until recently, Jagex were a one trick pony. You guys are part of their recent expansion into other games, but as this is a first for them, don't expect the world. Their hearts are in the right place, I think, but remember that this is their first time having an involvement with a game they aren't administering in house, and they might not have the balance between hands on and hands off right.
A heart in the right place is great enough a start in comparison to the previous leeches. Hopefully, with a bit of resources in recoding and uplifting the game, and a bit more in advertising, and a push from the existing effort (appocomaster and so forth) will be enough to put the cart running upwards again.
