The Rules of Runescape

The MMORPG Runescape is played by millions of people from all over the world with diverse cultural backgrounds and languages. Like any other game, Runescape too has its dishonest players (the disruptive minority) and, therefore, the creators (Jagex) of this game have implemented rules to protect the others who play their game.

Generally, most players are friendly and helpful but should you encounter another player whose behaviour you consider abusive towards you, you can report them by using the in game Report Abuse feature and action will be taken against these players if Jagex player support team agrees with you after the matter has been investigated.

There are three categories of rules, namely: honour, respect and security. A new player should familiarise himself/herself before playing the game.

Honour
* Macroing, and use of bots or third-party software
* Real-world trading
* Buying, selling or sharing an account
* Multiple logging-in
* Knowingly exploiting a bug
* Jagex staff impersonation
* Password, account, bank PIN or item scamming
* Advert blocking
* Encouraging others to break the rules

Respect
* Discrimination of any kind, whether based on another player's race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation or religious beliefs
* Solicitation
* Threatening another player, or bullying of any kind
* Using obscene or inappropriate language
* Spamming, or disruptive behaviour
* Misuse of the forums

Security
* Asking for or providing contact information such as full names, ages, postal or email addresses, telephone numbers or bank details
* Discussing or advocating illegal activity of any kind, such as the use of illegal drugs
* Advertising other websites
