Anyone who encourages someone to break a rule or rules will be treated as if they committed the offense themselves and will be punished as if they are the one breaking the rule.

Any Offense: Punishment will be issued depending on severity of the situation

6. Backseat Moderation

Members of the Staff Team have been hand selected by Server Management to handle certain duties inside of their role assignment. This means they are provided with the tools to complete and diffuse situations accordingly. We respect and appreciate individuals willingness to help however a better alternative would be to help new, current, or returning players inside of the \"Help\" Clan Chat

1st Offense: Warning | 2nd Offense: 24H Mute | 3rd Offense: Permanent Mute or Ban

7. Clan Etiquette

Clans are a great way to play with friends, and make new relationships, but it\'s important to note that invading clans, or bashing them will not be tolerated. The list below is a few examples of things that you may be punished for if seen/reported. Joining another Clan/CC for intent of advertising your/someones Clan. Taking Clan issues out of the CC, and bringing them into Public Chat, yell, Help CC, etc. Any type of Clan on Clan public drama is not tolerated. Advertising a Clan, or CC must be in a 30 minute interval for advertising over yell, Clan chat, or using an auto typer. Joining any type of CC via an alternative account with the sole agenda of becoming a disruption or annoyance will no longer be tolerated. Any accounts that are caught doing so will be punished accordingly on both ends, thus meaning alternative accounts that relate to a main account will now be qualified to receive a punishment.

1st Offense: Warning | 2nd Offense: 24H Mute | 3rd Offense: Permanent Mute or Ban

8. In game '::yell' Command

The yell system RuneGuild has to offer provides a fantastic opportunity or social platform for players wishing to interact with one another. Due to the yell system being in the noticeable eyes of the public the list below administers a few examples of punishable offences if seen/reported.

Staff members are here to protect the goodwill & longevity of RuneGuild. Failing to oblige by a staff members request (Server Support & higher) on yell will be warned and furthermore muted if the request to stop has been ignored.n Any bitter or aggressive intensified PvP banter related discussions that occur on yell, as per discretion by staff members, will now be considered as a punishable offence. Please keep PvP banter inside of Clan-chats or Private messaging. To maintain a clean, toxic free, enjoyable yell environment, any form of excessive verbal griefing or false advertising will now be considered and viewed as a punishable offense. Griefing refers to the act of one player intentionally disrupting another player's game experience for personal pleasure and possibly potential gain. Players of RuneGuildshould not attempt to grief another player by either trolling or provoking one another via global yell. RuneGuild's player base is largely from the United Kingdom & the United States, therefore (due to moderation purposes) we ask that all language over yell is to be written in English ONLY. In most cases, a warning will be issued first, failing to oblige by the given warning will result in a yell-mute.

1st Offense: Warning | 2nd Offense: 24H Yell Mute | 3rd Offense: Permanent Yell Mute or Ban

9. Third Party Software

Any software that is used to allow the member to have an unfair advantage in any way will result in punishment. We want to create a fair environment where all players have an equal chance of all of our features. Software includes automation tools, macros, bots, and auto-clickers. This includes the development of scripts for said bots. Macro Farms (3+ accounts macroing at same time) will result in an automatic IP Ban for all accounts involved. We reserve the right to reset your stats if we deem it appropriate. Anyone found creating/using/distributing macros will be IP banned.

1st Offense: 72H Ban [Skill Reset to Level 1] | 2nd Offense: Permanent Ban | 3rd Offense: IP/MAC Ban

10. Real world trading (Account & items selling/buying)

The act of trading RuneGuild currency, items, services, etc for outside currency is NOT allowed. This includes but is not limited to; RSGP, fiat currencies, IRL goods/services, online currencies, etc. Both parties will be punished if found to be doing so. The act of trading/selling, or the attempt of trading/selling, any account for other goods will not be allowed on the server or forums, a ban will be issued for the account being traded off. Account sharing is allowed but its completely your responsibility. If the account ever got IP/MAC Banned or compromised, your IP would be on that account so all your other accounts would get banned also. Of course we will investigate any case of hacking for services such as Inferno capes but if you allowed the hacker onto your account it could result in you being banned also. It is recommended to only trust people you know well or are generally trusted such as a staff member. If a player is deliberately doing services to steal peoples accounts/items they will be banned permanently or all of there accounts will be eco reset.

Scamming item loans, trust trades, gambles, or any other scam that can be proven WILL be punished. Video evidence MUST be provided, screenshots will not suffice. Please keep in mind dice bags are untradeable, so you will be jeopardizing your account along with your ability to host if you scam while gambling.

Impersonating any member of our community rather it be for entertainment, monetary gain, persuasion, etc. will NOT be tolerated. Impersonation of staff will automatically be escalated to a 2nd Offense.

1st Offense: Permanent Ban | 2nd Offense: IP & Mac Ban

17. Ragging or 1 Iteming (PVM AND PVP)

Attacking a player in the wilderness whilst risking little to nothing and having no intent of actually killing the target is considered as ragging. As the intent cannot directly be measured, it is up to the staff members to decide whether or not a specific scenario falls under ragging or not. The rule is fairly obvious when it comes to intent, if you're in NH gear, or actually risking something upon death, you're perfectly allowed to repetitively kill a specific player. If you're wielding a crystal bow, the odds of you killing your target are rather low and you'd be classified as a ragger. Attacking NPCs around the game with the intent of only blocking someone else from completing their assignment, while having no benefit of your own in doing so. This basically means attacking the NPCs that a player is thieving with the intent of stopping them from thieving, whilst giving you no gain whatsoever. This does not mean that attacking a monster where you\'re actually trying to get the loot is against the rules - it is not. The intent in this rule is subjective as well, and decided by the staff members.

1st Offense: 24H Ban | 2nd Offense: 72H Ban | 3rd Offense: Permanent Ban

18. Malicious Price Gouging

It is forbidden to intentionally and maliciously control the economy for common items. An example would be to purchase all the whips in the Grand Exchange for 2M and resell for 500-600% times their current value. We do not have trade limits on items and this type of behaviour is detrimental on the economy. An additional clause to this rule is if you are caught in violation and not an active member of the community. (You only login to update Grand Exchange offers and have no interest in the actual community itself) you may receive additional punishment up to but not limited to a full bank reset.

1st Offense: Warning | 2nd Offense: Management Discretion

19. Taxing the Wilderness

It is forbidden to intentionally tax someone inside of the wilderness. They should be able to freely access the content and not be afraid of ragging or player-killing for not making a set monetary payment. An additional clause to this rule is if you are caught in violation your current coin amount on all of your accounts will be reset to 0.

1st Offense: Warning | 2nd Offense: Management Discretion
