/r/2007scape explodes over Jagex Moderator Mat K banning accounts for following around the well-known RuneScape streamer Emily0_o, who faked cancer to gain subscribers on Twitch.
Emily0_o became very infamous for the cancer trick she played on the Old School Runescape community and, as a result, has become a target for the OSRS subreddit, who calls for her permanent ban for alleged cases of RWT (Real World Trading), which is against the rules of Runescape. Emily also used this to gain tons of subscribers and IRL money via Twitch subscribers and views.
Tonight, Emily streamed and was followed by a few individuals who dressed exactly in the same outfit Emily, only bald. Users also dressed in full white/black armour to dress as White Knights and Black Knights. The users used the cry emote around Emily, and followed her around until they were manually banned by Mod Mat K under the category: "Bug Abuse Minor."
The current top thread of /r/2007scape, the comments are filled with people flaming against the OSRS staff and Emily.
Holy shit. Are you serious? Let me get this straight. Jagex Mods personally ban players for doing the cry emote near a streamer.
Yet there are hundreds of scammers, bots and rwt spammers that are untouched for days on end (with full evidence in plain sight) that Jagex mods can't do anything about? Seriously. Wtf Jagex. You actually care more about her experience than you do for the entire player bases experience. And those people aren't even doing anything bannable?!
They literally put the offences down as bug abuse because they had to make it up
because the system has limited options and "streamer favoritism for a cancer faker" isnt in the list
In the video, a user named Bazinga cx followed Emily for around 10 seconds before having their account banned for around two days.
The sad part is that MMK must have been sitting in the office watching Emily stream so he can ban people.
Mat K literally only sits in females streams.
and is modded in most of them
I've even seen him on twitch outside of office hours, his poor wife.
While real-life threats are against the rules of Runescape, the players banned were merely mocking Emily's fake cancer ploy that she did for likes and money. The users of OSRS are calling for more professionalism in Jagex hires and the step down of Mod Mat K, due to his favoritism of female streamers. Jagex Moderators have yet to reply to incident and this will probably continue on for the next 3-4 days.
