Rules of RuneScape

In this Rules Guide, we look at the 14 (some sites still say 12) rules in Runescape. Are they good rules, bad rules, and what do they mean to you.

The rules

Offensive Language
Few would disagree with banning this, but many find the auto-censoring to be excessively hairtrigger, while Jagex seem slow to react to obvious euphemisms. It is also quite annoying that you cannot even call someone a cheat when they clearly are.

Item Scamming
Against the rules, and grounds for reporting, but zero protection against this in-game. I guess "scam me once, shame on you, scam me twice, shame on me" or "caveat emptor" applies.

Password Scamming
Would it be too much for Jagex to actually implement password masking in chat, and stop this scam dead?

Cheating / Bug abuse
Surely it's only human nature, and who can say what's a bug in a fantasy world?
