Read and follow these rules so we don't have to punish you:
1. Offensive/inappropriate/racist language.
Any kind of offensive, racist or inappropriate language is against the rules. You will be muted, jailed, or banned depending on the severity. Doing this on the forums will restrict your posting rights to staff member approval or none at all. Depending on the severity you may be Banned or Ipbanned ingame or on the forums.
2. Spamming.
Unnecessary, useless, or off-topic posts and threads are not allowed unless if the spam section. If you are caught spamming, for 24 to 72 hours your posts will need moderator or administrator approval before being able to be seen. If you spam in game you will be muted or jailed. In some cases spamming can result in a ban or ipban, in game and on the forums depending.
3. Scamming.
Scamming will not be tolerated. Item scamming or any other type of scamming will earn you a ban. Luring is not viewed as scamming.
4. Inappropriate/Harmful Content.
Posting pictures and videos of pornographic or violent material will not be tolerated. Also, any type of links to harmful websites or links to a harmful download will earn you a ban.
5. Links to other communities/forums.
Not allowed unless approved by an Administrator or Above. Exceptions of course are Media websites such as Youtube or Tinypic.
6. Flaming, insulting or harassing other members.
Insulting or harassing other members in any way will not be tolerated. This goes for in-game and on the forums. If caught breaking this rule your forum rights will be restricted to moderator or administrator approval. If you are breaking this rule in game you will be temporarily muted.
7. Disrespecting members of staff and their decisions.
Have respect for all members of staff, and the decisions they make. If you don't think you've been punished fairly, go to the Appeals section. Never spam or PM asking them to reverse their decision, this decreases your chances of a reversal by a lot. If you think a staff member has abused and you have evidence to prove it, upload it to youtube or if it is a picture to tinypic and the abusing staff member will be demoted temporarily to permanently. Any nonsense evidence will get you a jail or ban in game and/or your forum account will be restricted to moderator and administrator approval.
8. Personal information.
The posting of someone's real-life information without their knowledge is against the rules. This includes posting others phone numbers, addresses, pictures, ipaddress, ext. This is an obvious rule and if broken you will have forum post restriction, staff approval posting or loss of posting rights or a ban from the forums. If you say someone's real-life information in game you will be muted, jailed, or possibly banned.
9. Bug abuse.
Bug abusing is exploiting a bug found in-game and using it to your own advantage. If you find a bug in-game, report it, don't abuse it or you will end up being permanently banned. On the other hand reporting any bugs in the correct section of the forum is greatly appreciated and if its a big enough glitch, you may be rewarded.
10. Real world trading
You are not allowed to trade or sell GP or items for any other currency. This includes GP farming as well, meaning you can't do things for other players for real-life money. This goes for Buying, Selling, or Trading RuneScape accounts and Selling Items for Items/Cash on other Servers. If caught your accounts will be reset, and you may receive further punishment in game and/or on the forums.
11. Staff Impersonation
Impersonating a member of the staff team or pretending to be a staff member is highly against the rules. This includes using names that contain "Mod" or "Admin" in them. This goes for you Blkdef!
12. Account Sharing
Account sharing will not be tolerated. Don't use other player's accounts, no exceptions. If caught, or we see to many different ip addresses on an account it may be reset, banned, or permanently jailed without warning.
