 I Don't Talk. Does That Make Me An Autoer? |

One thing that really annoys me is when I'm woodcutting or mining or fishing or something and people try to get me to talk to prove I'm not autoing. I know they're just trying to make sure they're not being cheated out of their logs or whatever by a rulebreaker, but this still really irritates me. Especially when morons say I am (am, not might be) an autoer just because I don't feel like talking to them.
Never mind that someone likely asked the exact same question ("l13k, wc lvl plz!!1") about five seconds ago, and I grudgingly answered.
Never mind that I'm still here after last week's mass ban. If I really did auto, I wouldn't be here right now.
Never mind that nowhere in the Runescape rules does it state that I have to answer stupid, pointless questions, or that I have to answer when some random person I don't know says hi to me, or that I have to sell someone my rune axe just because they "really need it".
Never mind that there's a feature called "public chat" that could be set to "friends" or "off" if the game's general population is really getting on your nerves that day. It's drastic, but people do it. I've done it from time to time when I'm in a really bad mood. If I have public chat off, I can't even hear people let alone reply to them. It certainly doesn't automatically mean I'm an autoer.
Never mind that I could be (and probably am) doing something on another screen; I could be doing my homework, browsing a forum, looking up on the high scores how close I've come to catching my friend in a certain stat, or something like that. If this is the case, I probably won't even notice someone talking to me at first. I certainly won't reply immediately, even if the other person expects me to for some reason. But this doesn't make me an autoer, and no one ever said multitasking was illegal.
Yes, I know the easiest thing to do is to just reply and avoid creating a problem. But what if, because of one of the above situations, I don't? Does that mean I deserve to be judged as an autoer?
Should people who don't talk be liable to be accused of autoing?

of course people who dont talk shouldnt be accused to autoing. it just so happens that the majority (no any1 here i hope) of rsers are people who have no social life, so they feel inclined to make virtu-friends. its also because as humans we look for an excuse to bring other people down. its just a fact of life.

Whenever people accuse me of autoing for not talking, I make it a point to not talk anymore, just to laugh at their stupidity. Smart people don't accuse others of autoing unless there's good reason. Just ignore the nubs.

They think I auto? Hah!
<noobism> If I autoed I'd have like six partyhat sets!1!1q </noobism>
I don't really care what the public thinks. I have the right to remain silent, and I exercise that right whenever my day isn't going the way I like it to.

Pssh.. I hardly even talk in real life, unless I know the person really well or they're nice.
I'm pretty much dead silent on RuneScape. I may say the occasional 'Lol' or say my levels if someone asks me to, but for the most part I'm kinda quiet.

I've gotten that from a former friend actually...the fool, who I personally know used/uses autoers (reported him), accused me of being someone else on my account and or autoing at the fishing guild.
Fact is, I removed him from my friends list for being a jack and generally I have my public chat on friends only, unless I'm in a really good mood.
One thing I can say is, If they accuse you of autoing and then report you...Jagex has those special macro catchers to verify if they're falsly accusing you.
Speaking of macros...are auto-typers illegal?

Just like Reville said, I'm usually one of those quiet people with the people I know in school, real life, etc, and I'm usually that way or RS, but I'm a big loudmouth when it comes to forums.

Just ignore the noobs. Refuse not to talk, and do the same thing over and over again walking in the same exact direction. then laugh at them screaming "auto-noob!" when ur really not.

Jagex wouldn't be stupid enough to ban a person without overwhelming evidence. (or maybe I'm wrong) So I don't think it's too much to worry about, and hopefully the accuser will get a warning for Report Abuse. As long as you haven't received any black-marks, you should be safe.
Generally, I don't like the 'fishing/mining etc. lvls'. Show-offs.

Never been accused of autoing for not replying, though some ppl accuse me of being "rude", I just usually stick pm onto friends and then turn off public chat
