A Look at RuneScape's Rules of Conduct

RuneScape is a great online multi player gaming site. The game was designed for players of all ages. Just like with any game, website, business ex cetera, there are rules that need to be followed. RuneScape has 15 categorized rules of conduct. These rules of conduct ensure that the game is enjoyable for all players.

Rule 1- Offensive Language

Players are not to use any language that may be considered offensive, racist or obscene. That includes cuss words. Mis-spelling an offensive word or using symbols to avoid the chat filter is also not allowed. There is an in-game Report Abuse button at the bottom of the game window for players to use to report a player who breaks this rule.

Rule 2- Item Scamming

A player must not scan or deceive another player. Lying to other players for your own is against the rules of conduct. This rule is in place to protect new players. It is also to prevent players for spoiling the game for other players.

It is considered a scam to claim an item is rare when it is not, to switch items at the last second before pressing accept and by misleading another player by providing false information.

Rule 3 - Password Scamming

Password scamming is asking or trying to persuade another player to give you their password for any reason. The breaking of this rule will be treated very seriously. Even if you are not successful in your attempts you are still in violation of this rule.

Rule 4- Cheating/Bug Abuse

A player must not use or attempt to use any errors or cheats that they find in the RuneScape software. Any exploits a player finds must be immediately reported to Jagex through Customer Support. This is against the rules because taking advantage of a bug can unbalance the game economy or devalue other players' achievements.

The purpose of the game is for all gains to be fairly and through honest game play. So even the use of cheats is in violation or this rule.
