RUF rules

Ok, the rules are simple. No scamming, swearing/offensive languages and no advertising. If any of these are seen, report them to me immediately and I shall either temporarly bam the member or delete them.
Also, if you want to lock a topic, just p.m me with a request to lock it.
Thats all for now.

I understand all of the rules except for one:

Where is the report button?

No report button, but just private message me with a request to delete/lock the topic and I will.

we should have one of those rep thingies, you know? like they do in RsB?

sorry i had to double post, but my edit button wasn't working. there should also be a rule about spamming and begging and anything that goes against the rules of Runescape.

Just an option, you can probably copy and paste the RSB Forum Rules, then twitch it up a little.

Good idea, guys. I might try it out.

Taking a tip from Godlfs and Blackmetal, here are the new rules:

Scamming
This section is a quick but firm note on scamming. Scamming of any sort is forbidden.

You may not attempt to scam players in any way through any forms of interaction which Runescape Boards provides. This includes attempting to: gain members' passwords for Runescape, RUF, E-Mail services or anything else; unfairly gain Runescape items from members.

Attempting to gain someone else's password is illegal. It will result in your RUF account being banned and possible further action being taken to notify your Internet Service Provider.



Failue To Obey These Rules
This is a quick section on the consequences that may be applied if a user fails to obey by these rules.

If RUF staff believe you are breaking the rules, they will take appropriate action to correct the situation so that rules are not being broken. This may include a user being warned via private messaging, a user having their account banned and in severe cases a user may have their IP address banned.

You must accept that the matter of whether a user is breaking the rules is to the discretion of RUF staff. If you are unsure of any of the rules you should ask a moderator, administrator or create a topic in an appropriate forum addressing your concern.

this is great. i like these rules, they are much more formal and beneficial to the new players.

Thanks, Blackmetal. I took Godlfs' and your suggestions and copied it from RSboards.

you should make this sticky or an announcement

Sticky it is.
