Y_Dyce Official Forum Rules

Users can be banned immediately for breaking the most serious rules. Staff discretion will be used in cases of particularly bad behavior. We obviously can't list every single rule here, but new members will come to understand unwritten rules as they interact with the other members of the site.

Minor Offences
- Spamming: Posting short, unhelpful comments (such as "cool", "nice acc", "added", etc). This also includes "Free Bumps" for another user's thread. Flooding a forum with replies for the sole purpose of increasing post count. This may also be a permanent forumban in certain forums, especially if deliberate. Posting comments with little to no relevance to the topic Creating multiple threads advertising the same thing, regardless of the section. Bumping more than once every 8 hours.
- Begging: asking for free RS items, RS accounts (etc) or asking for a rank or modship (NOTE: users looking for a rank can apply here http://www.ydyce.smffy.com/index.php?board=6.0
- Flaming: excessive cursing, insults, and/or derogatory comments towards another user
- Referral Links: posting referral links(referrals are allowed in signatures only) for sites, surveys, other games, etc. This includes sites such as Share-cash.
- Trolling: harassing other members (malicious harassment of other members or intentional misleading of staff may result in a perm ban - "trolling" is not an acceptable excuse)

Major Offences
- Advertising: Advertising a site in a post for the first offence will be a 1 month ban, further punishments may lead to a permanent ban. Includes links to other Markets, Goldfarm sites, etc.. If you wish to legitimately advertise your site on Y_Dyce forums then contact me. Advertising Bots will be permanently banned.
- ****/Gore: posting pictures, videos, links to websites related to ****/extreme gore, etc. The staff will decide what constitutes **** or gore. It is not for you to decide. Steer clear of posting anything which could be interpreted as this.
- Scamming: or any suspicious behavior similar to scamming or counter-scamming (i.e. attempting to scam), this includes Runescape name Sniping. This also includes:
Impersonating other members, and any other similar behavior.
Impersonating ranks through the use of your signature.
- Posting Infected Files/Malware: Keyloggers, viruses, trojans, etc...
- Ban Evading: If one of your accounts has been banned for whatever reason and you return under another account, that account will also be banned. Frequent ban evasion will result in an IP ban.
- Malicious Activities: Using software tools for deceptive, malicious, or harmful intent (hacking). Punishment for these offences will be dealt with on case-by-case basis, but will most likely result in a permanent ban.

Users breaking a minor offence(s) an addition 2 times will be dealt with a further 1 month ban.
