1. Flaming, Disrespect, Harassment and Inappropriate Content
OS-Occult is composed of various amounts of backgrounds to their religion, race, morals etc., we will not tolerate the disrespect, flame, and disrespect of ANY religion, race, morals and so forth. Excessive flame is dealt with accordingly (also realise that from person to person that he/she will take the insult differently than someone else would). The punishment for such acts can vary from a warning to a ban on the server.
a. The use of any flaming, disrespect, any form of Harassment etc., towards any person, religion, race, morals in-game is against our rules. We have a language filter system but some players may be willing to turn it off which doesn't allow players to break this rule either in public chat, clan chat, and the yell system.
b. The purpose of the OS-Occult "Help chat" clan chat is to help new or returning players with things they may need while they play. This means that the topic of discussion within the chat should be kept appropriate at all times. It is not expected that players stay strictly on the topic of OS-Occult, as they can deviate in general discussion, but any inappropriate discussion or language used in this chat will be punished harsher here. It is recommended that if players would like to discuss other things then please do so in PM's or in another clan chat, and at their own discretion.
2. Advertising
The advertisement of another community that acts as a direct competitor to OS-Occult (RSPS') is strictly disallowed and not tolerated whatsoever. The punishment is a permanent ban from the forums and server with NO chance of appeal, and ever returning to OS-Occult.
a. Common known links (e.g. MoparScape, Rune-Server, and YouTube) is fine and will be commonly permitted. Please note that the link on the website advertised must NOT lead to another community (to bypass the advertisement rule and in hopes that we don't catch it).
b. Discussing other active servers both ingame and on the forums is strictly prohibited, this is just a clarification from the main rule.
2. Spamming
Spamming on the server will not be permitted, acts of such feats will be acted upon accordingly by the staff members of OS-Occult. We should all be acting as mature as we can while on OS-Occult and respect others wishes as well, those who continue to do such feats will be removed from OS-Occult if needed.
a. Yell command should NOT be abused in ANY fashion. A member's rights to use the command can very well be revoked for a certain amount of time to permanent. If anything, take a few seconds to minutes before sending another message of Yell. It is not a right.
b. All forms of auto-typing by any means must be limited to a timer of 10 seconds or slower. For all uses of auto-typing a player must be present through out its use and able to respond to a staff spam check (A staff member requesting a response as proof of not being away). If these guidelines are not met it will be considered as spamming and a staff member will issue a warning. Failure to comply will result in a mute at staff discretion.
c. Spamming can be from text, trading, casting spells, or anything else that can flood a chatbox, it does not have to be visible by everyone. And if a member finds it disruptive enough then he/she has the right to report you. You will be dealt with accordingly based on what you have done but let it be known that you will be punished. There's no reason to do such a thing and disrupt a member's gameplay.
d. Excessive use of the yell-command to promote your Clan Chat, Hitbox or anything else that requires action from a player will in the end get your yell ability removed. You will get 2 warnings prior to this. If you want to promote over yell you have to set a timer for 3 minutes, if it's less this rule will apply.
3. Misleading Links, Hacking, DDOS Threats
Misleading links are never allowed on the forums or advertised on the server. If the common link that is allowed does not lead to where it the member states it leads to can result in a permanent removal from the community. If a member is linking someone to Google, we expect it to open-up to Google.
a. Hacking on the server and forum is never and will never be condoned on this community. You will be permanently removed from the community without further hesitation. We take the privacy of others serious here, do not test us on this.
b. Threatening a member with anything that may danger their reputation, life, security or personal information will result in an immediate termination of all accounts and removal from the community. This includes situations like DDOS threats, it's completely unacceptable.
4. Punishment Evasion
Punishment handed out towards members are the sole reason as to why a community remains stable, we expect our punishments handed out to be taken serious (especially if you feel like you deserve a second chance to being apart of this community - again). Should you evade a punishment then expect to be punished further and harsher after the during/after the initial punishment. There is no reason to cause a scene with a punishment so you will be dealt with.
5. Macroing/Third-Party Software
Macroing is the use of third party software that allows a member to obtain levels, money, playtime and so forth a lot easier than others that are working on it fairly. We do not tolerate this and can result in a medium punishment to a severe one like a ban of main accounts or even ipban. Such things include auto-clickers, auto-walkers, cheat clients etc.
6. Real World Trading (RWT)
Purchasing, selling, trading goods, or services (accounts, real life items, RSGP, Microsoft points, riot points, other private server items for OS-Occult items etc.) is strictly forbidden. The act of such things will result in the immediate and permanent removal from the community at the discretion of the staff team. And as a side note, members are not allowed to sell or giveaway their account(s) for anything; no matter the case. RWT will also take any attempt to sell anything outside of the OS-Occult game to be against this rule and will result in the same punishment.
7. Bug Abuse
The abuse of a bug, glitch, or exploit is strictly prohibited in this community. Members who are caught in doing-so will be permanently removed from the community at the discretion of the administration team. We want to make sure that OS-Occult is a safe, trouble-free environment to enjoy, and have fun - abusing such things does that do that for us. We request that all members who find these are to report them in the bug report board.
a. Finding loopholes, in regards to the rules, in which the main objective is to benefit yourself, is strictly prohibited. If you do find a loophole, you must report it immediately to a staff member through a PM. If you are caught abusing a loophole, much like a bug, you will be banned/IP banned based on the severity.
8. Scamming
Scamming members for real life money, OS-Occult (gold coins) and other forms of scams is not tolerated on OS-Occult (any form of doubling money, Impersonating other players, ...). All members are at the risk of a medium punishment (e.g. temporary jail or ban) to a severe punishment (e.g. permanent removal from the community) at the discretion of the staff member and/or administration team. All members should respect each other, and not scam - it's immature and not worth the time, simply do not do it and we will not hand out the punishment.
a. We do not refund items for scam attempts that involve players giving items to other players in return for 'doubled' or any form of increased profit made by giving your items to other players. We as a staff team do not allow doubling money but cannot stop members from doing-so, it is your responsibility to report the member attempting to do it and not trust them in the first place. If you are talking about doing any sort of giveaways/offering people prizes you must disclose what the "prizes" are before any money is exchanged.
b. We do not refund items for scam attempts that involve players giving items to other players as a trust trade or on loan. We as a staff team do not encourage trust trading/loaning items but cannot stop members from doing-so, it is your responsibility as they are your own items and not to trust them in the first place.
c. If a player attempts to retract donations they have made to the server, they will be permanently banned. When you donate to the server, you are making a donation;NOT a purchase. These donations are what help keep the server online; retracting them can severely harm the stability of the server, which is equal to a DDoS threat. If you feel unsatisfied with a recent donation you've made, you can post a topic in the support board.
9. Player-Versus-Player (PVP)
The general rule of thumb for PVP is that there are not a big amount of rules for PVP because we do not want to have to govern members that do so. The wild is where most members are able to get-away from rules and have most of their fun, however, we have few and very specific rules that we ask all members to follow. The biggest one is to respect all members as equals and be courteous as one would expected to be.
A. Farming PK points/Emblems or Kills, Killstreak is strictly prohibited (1-2 kills is fine, anything above that is considered farming). The most common method of BM point/Emblems or Kills, killstreak farming is allowing yourself to die without putting up a fight, resulting in the attacker gaining easy points. This rule applies to anyone who is involved. If caught, the punishment is you being entirely removed from the OS-Occult community.
B. Excessive ragging. Ragging is where a player constantly attacks an unwilling player. Excessive is subjective to the staff member handling the incident(+/-4 to 6 times). This will work as a two strike basis shared with the Rushing two strike basis, players who have been given 2 strikes will be banned. This rule is not applicable in deep wildy (level 20+).
OS-Occult is composed of various amounts of backgrounds to their religion, race, morals etc., we will not tolerate the disrespect, flame, and disrespect of ANY religion, race, morals and so forth. Excessive flame is dealt with accordingly (also realise that from person to person that he/she will take the insult differently than someone else would). The punishment for such acts can vary from a warning to a ban on the server.
