[Official] Ataraxia Rules

[Jaedmo 780]

In-Game Rules

Flaming

Flaming a member of Ataraxia is strictly against the rules. Attacking a player and insulting them with the intent of causing harm is a mutable offence and is not taken lightly.

Spamming

Spamming is the act of consistently typing in order to be a nuisance, whether it be spamming @@@@@, spamming your bank sale or spamming another server, it is also a mutable offence. You will be warned, and then punished should you continue.

Multilogging

You are allowed to log on to 3 accounts at one time. Using these accounts together to break rules, abuse a safe-spot on bosses or in any other way use these accounts to manipulate mechanics is not acceptable and will result in a Jail and potential Ban. 

Macroing/Scripting/Botting

Using any third-party program or hardware feature to input/emulate clicks or keystrokes at a ratio that isn't 1:1 is strictly disallowed. This includes the software intended to be used with your peripherals (such as Razer Synapse for Razer peripherals, etc). Using scripts or macros to input/emulate clicks, keystrokes or mouse movements faster and/or more accurately than humanly possible is also disallowed, even if it is 1:1. Failing to abide by this will result in your account(s) facing a temporary/permanent ban, items removed and/or experience reset, depending on the severity.

AFK Training

AFK training is training while you are not at the computer, whether this is using an autoclicker, Auto Retaliate or Botting. It is not allowed. Make sure you are present at the computer or risk punishment & levels reset.
 

Scamming

Scamming is a bannable offence, tricking someone or intentionally trying to benefit out of their mistake and/or your abuse will result in a Ban. This can range from selling them the wrong item promising it is better than it is, to switching up rules at Duel Arena to get the one up on them. It is not allowed and treated extremely seriously.

Bug Abusing

Abusing a bug in which you have discovered or been told of is bannable. Should you discover a bug, report it instantly on the Forums or to a Staff Member, and from then on do not use the bug for your advantage. Should be you be found abusing a bug after reporting it or abusing a bug without reporting it, you will be punished accordingly.

Harassment

Intentionally harassing players of Ataraxia will result in a Jail. Trying to ruin someone else's experience on the game in order to get a laugh or a rise is not acceptable. This can range from crashing someone at a boss over and over, to following people and annoying them. This also includes flame baiting to get a rise out of someone. Do not do this, people just want to have fun, don't be the reason they don't.

Staff Harassment

Staff decisions are final do not argue with a staff's decision. If they kick someone from the Friends chat, there's no need for "Why did you do that" if you feel it was undeserved come straight to an Admin+ about it. Any decision they make is easily traceable and will be looked at should someone come to an Admin/report the staff member. Do not bring it up in Friends chat, their PM or Public chat. It is not worth the stress, it can be solved by talking to an Admin.

Cursing

We're all adults (most of us). There's nothing wrong with the odd Shit, Fuck, Cunt. But don't overdo it, these words shouldn't be so common in your vocabulary that you are using them every sentence. It is acceptable in frustration or general discussion. However, don't use these words in a derogative manner or too often or you will be muted. This also includes any potentially offensive display names.

Friends Chat

The Friends chat is intended as a Help channel for new players, hence new players instantly joining this chat. Do not make it anything other than that. If you want to talk openly with your friends create a Clan Chat and do so there. Nothing's wrong with a bit of General talk but if it gets in the way of people receiving help please stop. All rules should be followed in the Friends chat. Do not promote discussions about Politics, Hard Drugs, Debatable Topics, Racism and Other RSPS'. Please avoid terms such as; Fag, Queer, Nigga, Nigg*r, Cunt, Twat & Other obviously offensive words in the chat. You will be instantly kicked. Any other language than English within the Friends chat is unacceptable as our preferred speaking language is English, Repeated offences of not speaking the preferred language within the Friends Chat may result in a kick.

Racism

Racism is strictly not tolerated. There's not much to say, don't be racially insensitive or promote racial talk or you'll be muted. If you continue after the time is up you will be permanently muted, Racism is not tolerated at all on Ataraxia.

VPN Voting

While VPN voting can benefit the server's rankings, it can also ruin them. Do not VPN vote. We can be removed from Toplists which would be counter pro-active for our cause. Please limit your votes to maximum 3 per day, using your PC, Mobile internet and perhaps your Brother's phone/work internet. If found to be VPN voting your rewards will be removed and your account disabled.

RWT

Items/Coins in Ataraxia must only be used to pay for other items, services or donations. DO NOT SELL YOUR ATARAXIA ITEMS OR GOLD FOR REAL LIFE $ (Paypal etc) OR FOR REAL RUNESCAPE GOLD/ACCOUNTS. Doing this will result in an instant IP-BAN without warning.

Last Man Standing Rules

 

General Rules:

As soon as LMS starts you must fight another player.

No avoiding a fight. This means no running or hiding.

Do not stand around waiting for someone to fight an opponent you're meant to be fighting (I.E winning a fight, then not fighting another player who just won a fight).

If you somehow end up in the arena after you have died you must teleport home to avoid interfering with other fights.

TEMPORARY RULE: Do not use vengeance spells before LMS. This is considered bug abuse.

Not following these rules will result in a kick and/or ban from LMS.

 

Gambling Rules

Scamming

Scamming of any kind will not be tolerated. The gambling system is scam proof in regards to the mechanics. However, attempting to give fake prices for items to manipulate your opponent is unacceptable and will be punished accordingly.

Pots

Pots must be specified and agreed upon prior to avoid any confusion.

Harassment 

Do not harass other players to gamble with you if they have already made it clear that they are not interested. 

Flaming

Flaming in the Friends Chat or Yell as a result of a loss or unfortunate event will not be tolerated and will be punished accordingly.

Bugs

If a bug is found, do not abuse it. Please report it to a staff member immediately. Failure to do so will result in serious consequences. 

Friends Chat

Brief mentions of gambling are okay, but please try to keep gambling discussions in the 'Gambling' friends chat. 
Examples: "Fping @ fp!" or "Anyone looking to gamble?"
