Forum Rules

All Topics must contain a Focus of Discussion and 5 constructive sentences toward that discussion.
Five constructive sentences is the minimum effort we expect you to put into a discussion post. Remember, the more information you include in your topic, the more there will be for people to discuss.

Don't flame.
Under no circumstance does anyone ever have the right to tell another that they are a "happy" etc. Calm discussion should take place in this forum; insulting each other should never be necessary.

Don't curse.
Minor curses like "Hell" or "Damn" may be allowed in context. But anything more than that, no matter the context, will not be allowed. We have a censor for a reason.

Don't spam.
Stupid, pointless, annoying messages. If you post these constantly, you will be punished. 1-3 word replies are often classed as spam. If you have something to add to the discussion, do so. "I agree" or "I disagree" adds nothing to the discussion.

Use common sense when posting.
This is probably one of the most important rules! Just think before you act!

Don't make coloured discussions or posts.
this is because the staff uses colors for punishment and moderation's.

Don't wannabe moderate
If you see a person whom you think is breaking the rules, even if you know what rule they break, you have no reason to tell them so. Moderating is a Moderator's job, report the person, and leave their topic or post alone. Posting about how they must move their topic to x forum or y forum only creates a spam post when said topic is moved by a Moderator, and thus needs to be removed following appropriate action being taken.

Discretion
What-if topics, experience topics, moment topics and similar are usually not classed as discussions, however, we do allow a small proportion of them to exist in General Discussion. Unfortunately, this usually leads to extremist questions and very subject-specific copy-topics being created. Such topics, if deemed to be unable to survive alone, may be closed by a moderator, and you may be directed into a larger, more general topic instead.

Use semi-proper English when you post
Here is an example:

Good Post: What do you think of the new combat system in RS:II?
Bad Post: omg wut du u dink ov t3h nu c0mb4t ding n rs-too???????????!11111111

The author of the first one is considerately reader-friendly, whereas the author of the second one doesn't know the difference between letters and numbers, and likely failed a kindergarten level spelling test five years past the appropriate age of administration. We will delete posts like this.
