When you register an account to the forums, you are agreeing that you will abide by all our rules and terms of service. If you do not follow these rules you will have action taken against you. If you are unsure of the rules, simply read below as this will help you from not getting banned in the future. If you find you have anything against these rules, simply leave
Horisonz.niceboards.org's rules
As they are the Rules and will not be changed, although there may be slight updates to them in future occasions:
Rule 1: Double Posting
Double post, this means post two or more posts one after another, if you must, edit your post using the edit button. If you do double post, you will be given an infraction.
Rule 2: Profane and Harmful Content
All people that post threads with profanity in the title or within the thread as content itself, will be given an infraction. If seen again doing the same thing, you will be banned.
You are also not allowed post any links containing adult content, death, or harmful files. Doing so, will result in a permanent ban from the forums.
Rule 3: Flaming Others
Do not flame others via the forums, everyone here deserves respect and this is not tolerated. Flaming/arguments will be stopped quickly, and the users engaged in the flame will receive infractions.
Rule 4: Posting Mute/Ban Appeals
Posting mute/ban appeals on the forums, is spamming. It will not be allowed, and doing so will result in an infraction to your account. Please do not post asking why you were muted or banned, or for how long.
If you would like to appeal your mute/ban, do so by submitting a ticket at the Help Desk.
Rule 5: Spamming
Any pointless material that is posted on the forums will not be tolerated, it will result in you receiving an infraction, and your thread being closed. Please note that asking for items (donations, items from a hack/scam, etc), mute/ban appeals, and flaming others will not be tolerated whatsoever on these forums. The only place where spam is 'allowed' is in the Forum Games section. Also, threads such as "Woot my post count is X", "Why is the server down?", or "y my acc mutd/bant" will not be tolerated.
Rule 6: sexual Harassment
Rules
Horisonz.niceboards.org does not tolerate this in anyway, both men and women are equal. Please don't joke around too much about this, because some take it very seriously. Depending on the severity, will result in the action taken.
Rule 7: Impersonation of others
There shall be no impersonation of Jagex staff, horisonz staff, Runescape members or anybody else. This will result in you being permanently banned from the server, and quite possibly the site. A lot of times helping members will get misinterpreted as staff impersonation. No action will be taken for helping someone out, but saying things such as, "I will mute you" - is considered staff impersonation.
Rule 8: Descrimination
Being discriminative to anyone on the forums (and the server), is not allowed. You will be banned for 3 days if any kind of discrimination is in your post, private message, picture comment, etc. This goes for:
* Racism/Xenophobia
* Religious intolerance
* Sexism
* Homophobia/Heterophobia/Biphobia
* Ageism
Just keep it to yourself.
Rule 9: Plagiarism
Anybody caught stealing somebody Else's work will have their thread deleted and account banned for 48 hours.
Rule 10: Advertisement / Websites
Any websites that may contain harmful content is banned, websites with appropriate content are allowed in signatures only. If you advertise, you'll be given an infraction.
Rule 11: Gravedigging
Gravedigging is when you post on a topic that was not posted on for over two weeks. You are not allowed to do this because it's literally "gravedigging" on old thread. If you wish to post on an old topic, you should check the last post to see if it's over two weeks old. Gravedigging is acceptable only in the guides section and tutorials sub-forum, in the Graphics section. If you are caught gravedigging (you most certainly will), you will receive an infraction. If you post after a gravedigger, you will receive an infraction. If you repeat such an action, your consequence will be more severe. Constantly gravedigging will result in a permanent ban from the forums.
Rule 12: Self praising
This is getting out of hand. Posting on behalf of yourself in praise for your main account is now a permanent ban. If you're going to make two accounts, don't make one say "lol ur so leet [main account]". I am tired of it, it's now a permanently bannable offense.
Rule 13:Do not ask for staff,asking for staff will result in a automatic ipban from the forums.
Rule 14:Do not abuse the point's system or it will end in a infraction.
*Moderators have the right to suspend you from posting if you break any of these rules.
