The Forum Rule
Ban Evasion - Ban evasion is considered to be a severe
offense, and if conducted, it will lead to even further and possibly
more serious consequences. A temporary ban evasion may lead to a
permanent ban, and then possibly an IP ban. Simply put, do not try to
evade your ban; serve it and don’t risk your account. Account sharing /
relaying messages from the banned user(s) is not allowed as well.
Exception made when an alternative account is used to create your
appeal, although said account cannot post or talk in shoutbox.
Section 3.54 Paragraph C: We (The administrator(s) ) are the system. By
joining, you are under control of the system!
[b]Multiple Accounts - Using alternative accounts to abuse a
rune-server system or to violate said rules may result in your primary
account to be suspended.
Harassment (Flaming) - Harassment will not be tolerated.
The punishment for harassment will vary from mild, to severe depending
on the situation at hand, offenses committed, and other such factors.
Racism, ageism, sexism, discrimination, segregation, and such offensive
manners are also considered harassment and under no conditions will they
be tolerated. This includes offensive language that is directed at a
member, or members of our community. There is to be no foul,
stereo-typical, or abusive language allowed. Constantly attacking a user
or following them around forums belittling/offending them is also
considered harassment. Offensive language is permitted, but still
discouraged, if it is not directed at a member of our community. If you
receive any type of harassment via private message, please report
offense immediately. Extortion of any sort will not be allowed on
either the forums or the shoutbox.
Note: Harassment is similar to flaming.
(Organized) Malicious Conduct - (Organized) malicious
conduct will lead to an un-appeal-able permanent ban. The malicious
conduct can vary from denial of service attacks, group/mass spamming,
and registering an account with intent to cause trouble. This also

or images, as well as images that are disturbing. It also adheres to

community strong. You must respect the other members, the other staff,

trying to make it better. They have as much right to be there as you do.
