We do have some skill contests via the RVET, but the main issue that has arisen with this sort of thing is that the contest is either patently unfair (Dungeoneering in particular), or there is a lack of participants in expensive skills (Herblore, prayer, etc). Not such a bad idea though.

Oh there could be different Categories for Dungeoneering.
Low Levels
Medium Levels
High Levels

Couldn't use any Tokens.

Oh yeah its just an Idea since there are 25 Skills so 2 a Month & the RVET could use any for the Events they have going on those Months.

I say why not. Even if the RVET doesn't want to do it, there would still be this thread and general prestige.

For F2pers: Make a video/Screenshot of your Stats & Exp the Start of the Month & End of the Month.
Could also have a F2p Skill each Month.

I'd like to think that most villagers (if not all) could be trusted doing something like this. Besides, unless there was a huge prize there wouldnt be much incentive to cheat compared to how stupid it would make you look if you got caught.

This. Nobody here really has a reason to cheat, and there are enough people here used to both fake photos and realistic progress tracking that it's unlikely to go unnoticed anyway.

I'll agree to disagree. It's a matter of opinion.

In the end it'll end up boiling down to what responsibilities can and can't be considered for the disciplinary figures, how much attention can really be given, and whether or not the addiction ends up truly unhealthy, given how many examples can be shown for both types. My answer still lies in that (and we agree on this) people are products of their environment, but there's very little either of us can probably say to chance each other's perspective on how much of the environment can be controlled, or at least taken into account.

This one isn't a debate, however. Between quick chat not allowing for lies and proper management of exp at the beginning of and end of a competition with the only potential problem lying in free players' lack of showing on the high scores? It would fall on highly unlikely circumstance and host error to cause problems before fake pictures would.
