Huntley Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 🔹 Game Server | Rules and Regulations 🔹  Common Courtesy (Spamming) The in-game server, forums and discord requires all guests, members and staff to show a standard of Common Courtesy to others. This includes, but is not limited to spamming, purposeful crashing, or intentionally baiting someone on any platform. First Offence: Warning | Second Offence: 24H Mute | Third Offence: Permanent Ban   Inappropriate Language, Content or Harassment There is a zero tolerance for harassment toward other individuals, especially based upon sexual preferences, personal or religious beliefs, gender or race.

This includes, but is not limited to In-Game, Forums or Discord. First Offence: 24H Mute | Second Offence: 72H Mute, Permanent Mute or Ban   Threats All guests, players and staff should feel safe and welcome at all times. We will hold a zero tolerance for any threats made against another individual including those without physical harm for example, "DDOS" threats. First Offence: Permanent IP Ban   Encouraging others to break rules Anyone who encourages someone to break a rule or rules will be treated as if they committed the offense themselves and will be punished as if they are the one breaking the rule. Any Offence: Punishment will be issued depending on severity of the situation   Backseat Moderation Members of the Staff Team have been hand selected by Server Management to handle certain duties inside of their role assignment. This means they are provided with the tools to complete and diffuse situations accordingly. We respect and appreciate individuals willingness to help however a better alternative would be to help new, current, or returning players inside the "Cerver" Clan Chat also know as help CC. First Offence: Warning | Second Offence: 24H Mute | Third Offence: Permanent Mute or Ban   Clan Etiquette Clans are a great way to play with friends and make new relationships, but it's important to note that invading clans, or bashing them will not be tolerated. The list below is a few examples of things that you may be punished for if seen/reported. Joining another Clan/CC for intent of advertising your/someone's Clan. Taking Clan issues out of the CC, and bringing them into Public Chat, Yell, Cerver CC, etc. Any type of Clan on Clan public drama is not tolerated. Advertising a Clan, or CC must be in a 30 minute interval for advertising over yell, Clan Chat, or using an autotyper. Joining any type of CC via an alternative account with the sole agenda of becoming a disruption or annoyance will not be tolerated. Any accounts that are caught doing so will be punished accordingly on both ends, thus meaning alternative accounts that relate to a main account will not be qualified to receive a punishment.** First Offence: Warning | Second Offence: 24H Mute | Third Offence: Permanent Mute or Ban   In-Game Yell Command The CErvers player base is largely from the United Kingdom & the United States, therefore (due to moderation purposes) we ask that all language over yell is to be written in English ONLY. In most cases, a warning will be issued first, failing to oblige by the given warning will result in a yell-mute. The yell system The CErver has to offer provides a fantastic opportunity or social platform for players wishing to interact with one another. Due to the yell system being in the noticeable eyes of the public the list below administers a few examples of punishable offences if seen/reported. Advertising Content creators must be in a 30 minute interval for advertising over yell. Advertising a Clan, or CC must be in a 30 minute interval for advertising over yell. Staff members are here to protect the goodwill & longevity of The Cerver. Failing to oblige by a staff members request (Server Support & higher) on yell will be warned and furthermore muted if the request to stop has been ignored. Any bitter or aggressive intensified PvP banter related discussions that occur on yell, as per discretion by staff members, will now be considered as a punishable offence. Please keep PvP banter inside of Clan-chats or Private messaging. To maintain a clean, toxic free, enjoyable yell environment, any form of excessive verbal griefing or false advertising will now be considered and viewed as a punishable offense. Griefing refers to the act of one player intentionally disrupting another player's game experience for personal pleasure and possibly potential gain. Players of The CErver should not attempt to grief another player by either trolling or provoking one another via global yell. First Offence: Warning | Second Offence: 24H Yell Mute | Third Offence: Permanent Yell Mute or Ban   Third-Party Software Any software that is used to allow the member to have an unfair advantage in any way will result in punishment. We want to create a fair environment where all players have an equal chance of all of our features. Software includes automation tools, macros, bots, and auto-clickers. This includes the development of scripts for said bots. Macro Farms (3+ accounts macroing at same time) will result in an automatic IP Ban for all accounts involved. We reserve the right to reset your stats if we deem it appropriate. Anyone found creating/using/distributing macros will be IP banned. First Offence: 72H Ban [Skill Reset to Level 1] | Second Offence: Permanent Ban | Third Offence: IP Ban   Third-Party Software Any software that is used to allow the member to have an unfair advantage in any way will result in punishment.

First Offence: 72H Ban [Skill Reset to Level 1] | Second Offence: Permanent Ban | Third Offence: IP Ban   Real World Trading (Account or Item Selling) The act of trading The CErver currency, items, services, etc. for outside currency is NOT allowed. This includes but is not limited to; RSGP, fiat currencies, IRL goods/services, online currencies, etc. Both parties will be punished if found to be doing so. The act of trading/selling, or the attempt of trading/selling, any account for other goods will not be allowed on the server or forums, a ban will be issued for the account being traded off. As per Old School Runescape, The CErver has decided to follow route & enforce the rule of Infernal cape services. Inferno was dubbed the greatest solo PVM challenge to date upon release, therefore we believe it provides an unfair advantage to others if such services are considered as appropriate. Moving forward, any acts or attempts to having a user complete the Inferno caves on your own personal account, will result in an permanent ban for both parties involved and an instant removal of the Infernal cape. On that note, we respect the boundaries of account sharing and will not be punishing accounts who have achieved Infernal capes that are shared between two individuals. In cases of account sharing, both users have generally put in time and effort into the account and it's not fair to restrict those accounts from a major piece of in-game content. We have tools to investigate accounts who have completed the Inferno, and will punish accordingly if we suspect that the account in question was in fact not being shared. First Offence: Permanent Ban [Bank Reset] | Second Offence: IP Ban [Bank Reset]   Bug Abuse Players must not use or attempt to use any bugs or glitches which they may find in our game/website.  Any exploits a player finds is requested to be immediately reported to us through the report a bug page or via Discord.

You are, however, allowed to safespot NPCs that can be safespotted on OSRS, such as the wilderness bosses. As with other bug abuse, any exploits a player finds are to be immediately reported to us through the report a bug page or via Discord. First Offence: 24H Ban | Second Offence: Permanent Ban | Third Offence: IP Ban   Hacking Players must not safespot NPCs that you aren't able to on OSRS.

First Offence: 24H Ban | Second Offence: Permanent Ban | Third Offence: IP Ban   False Reports False reports are not tolerated, this includes using the CC/Yell, as well as in-game to spread drama that may or may not be true. I.E User1 is scamming! Don't trade him if you don't want to lose money! These reports should be sent to a Server Support or higher. First Offence: 24H Mute | Second Offence: 72H Mute | Third Offence: Permanent Mute or Ban   Scamming Changing items/amounts of GP in trades or changing duel arena rules is NOT punishable, there are second trade/duel interfaces to avoid scams like this from taking place. Scamming item loans, trust trades, gambles, or any other scam that can be proven WILL be punished. Video evidence MUST be provided, screenshots will not suffice. Please keep in mind dice bags are untradeable, so you will be jeopardizing your account along with your ability to host if you scam while gambling. We do not offer refunds for items/gp that was lost due to a scam First Offence: Permanent Ban [Bank Reset] | Second Offence: IP Ban [Bank Reset]   Impersonation Impersonating any member of our community rather it be for entertainment, monetary gain, persuasion, etc. will NOT be tolerated. Impersonation of staff will automatically be escalated to a 2nd Offense. First Offence: Permanent Ban | Second Offence: IP Ban   Luring over Global Chat You are not allowed to lure or attempt to draw members into the wilderness by using the Global Chat feature. First Offence: Warning | Second Offence: 24H Mute | Third Offence: Permanent Mute or Ban   Ragging or 1 Iteming (PVM and PVP) Attacking a player in the wilderness whilst risking little to nothing and having no intent of actually killing the target is considered as ragging. As the intent cannot directly be measured, it is up to the staff members to decide whether or not a specific scenario falls under ragging or not. The rule is fairly obvious when it comes to intent, if you're in NH gear, or actually risking something upon death, you're perfectly allowed to repetitively kill a specific player. If you're wielding a crystal bow, the odds of you killing your target are rather low and you'd be classified as a ragger. Attacking NPCs around the game with the intent of only blocking someone else from completing their assignment, while having no benefit of your own in doing so. This basically means attacking the NPCs that a player is thieving with the intent of stopping them from thieving, whilst giving you no gain whatsoever. This does not mean that attacking a monster where you're actually trying to get the loot is against the rules - it is not. The intent in this rule is subjective as well, and decided by the staff members. First Offence: 24H Ban | Second Offence: 72H Ban | Third Offence: Permanent Ban   Price Manipulation It is forbidden to intentionally and maliciously control the economy for items. This includes any attempt to monopolize items to alter the supply or demand.  An example of this behavior would be purchasing the supply of any item and then attempting to resell the item for a significant mark up. There is no set specifications on this rule as each case will be handle on a case by case basis.  However it should be clear this rule will be enforced across all registered accounts.  An example of that statement is if your using your alternative account to purchase a item to resell on your main account the rule will be enforced and disciplinary action will be issued to all of the accounts. First Offence: Warning | Second Offence: Management Discretion   Taxing the Wilderness It is forbidden to intentionally tax someone inside of the wilderness. They should be able to freely access the content and not be afraid of ragging or player-killing for not making a set monetary payment. An additional clause to this rule is if you are caught in violation your current coin amount on all of your accounts will be reset to 0. First Offence: Warning | Second Offence: Management Discretion   Gross Misconduct | Nuisance Clause It is forbidden to purposefully disrupt the enjoyment and environment of the game play for other individuals. A player who becomes a community nuisance by the means of misconduct or gross misconduct may be subject to permanent removal from the community. First Offence: Management Discretion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
