- its rules on Reddit
A subreddit centered on Old School RuneScape, a captivating rendition of the game that originated in 2007 and has since flourished under the guidance of a dedicated development team. This subreddit serves as a hub for lively discussions, focusing on enriching the game through insightful feedback and fostering its continued growth and improvement.
What its rules say about promotion
Shilling
It's fine to let someone know that their post belongs in one of the other recommended subreddits. That being said, don't just point out another subreddit because you think it's better or more active than this one. This isn't really the place to advertise your new sub. All participation in acts of brigading will result in an unappealable, permanent ban.
What its rules say about AI and bots
Closed Source AI Projects
Content, projects, assets and other assorted data regarding AI or Machine Learning may not be shared unless the project is open source. This includes data & media generated with AI, if it does not include source materials. This also applies to the author because we could care less about why something is closed source - and yes, that is a threat.
All 14 rules of r/osrs
- Be Respectful
- **Be respectful of your fellow redditors, you're NOT more valuable than them** - **Don't attack people on a personal level, retaliation is also not encouraged** - **Do not threaten or bully others** - **Sexual harassment is an instant ban & mute with no appeal** - *this should be obvious; but we're making it crystal-clear.* - No Begging/Trading
Do not ask for in-game donations and do not look to trade with players from the subreddit. Use the provided in-game trading tools. - Do not appeal bans or mutes here
[Visit Jagex Support](https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/208398175) if you wish to appeal a mute or ban. - No calls to action or witch-hunting
Images showing a situation are fine, but not accusations   If you have found a bug or exploit, use the report function in-game or email Jagex directly (tipoff@jagex.com) Speculation of wrongdoing and records of malicious activity should be reported via the button in the sidebar, this is not the place to publicize such things, as we wish to avoid glorifying malicious behaviour   This rule does not apply to informational posts about privacy, patched bugs, or best security practices - Shilling
It's fine to let someone know that their post belongs in one of the other recommended subreddits. That being said, don't just point out another subreddit because you think it's better or more active than this one. This isn't really the place to advertise your new sub. All participation in acts of brigading will result in an unappealable, permanent ban. - Thread derailing/hijacking
Don't reply to a post just to tell the author to do something else, or change the subject. It's fine to ask if they're open to alternatives, but leave it be if they aren't. It's basically spam, but it's extra annoying, so we have a specific rule against it. - Do not glorify real-life harms or violence
Any glorification of real-life acts of violence, this includes but **IS NOT LIMITED TO**: - Sexual harassment or assault - Acts of mass violence against civilians, or individuals - Physical assault/intimidation - Vehicular negligence or assault - Real-life interference (eg; stalking, dropping dox, etc.) - Victim blaming or encouraging abuse
When a user has been the victim of account hijacking, abuse, or another crime, it is not acceptable to blame them for the actions of the aggressor. They have a fundamental right to **at least** the bare minimum of respect. If a system cannot protect an end-user who makes the slightest mistake, it is not a successful security system. This is a well established principle in the security industry. End-users are not security experts, obviously - a fact proven by the necessity of this rule. - Support of Bigotry or Hate speech
- Racism - Sexism, misogny, or misandry (including intentional misgendering) - Ableism - Transphobia - Homophobia - Antisemitism - Islamophobia This rule applies to usernames & flairs too. This includes if you are repeatedly "just asking questions" that are offensive in premise.   Slurs are not permitted. - Low-Effort posting
Examples include: - Posting a video or channel link - use the [OSRS Content Subreddit](/r/OSRSContent) - Asking for instructions on how to do a quest - [You should use the Wiki instead](https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/RuneScape:WikiSync/Tracker) - Asking about allowed hotkeys or macros - [Read Jagex's official blog post on this topic](https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/mouse-keys---changes--clarification?oldschool=1) - Photos of a display, instead of a screenshot - Follow submission guidelines
/r/OSRS is for discussion, there are OSRS subs for memes, screenshots, instructional videos, ironmen, even for unique self-restricted ironmen. # The following is prohibited: - Posts that belong in an existing megathread - Posting a video or channel link - use /r/OSRSContent - Posts about content creators or streamers - /r/OSRSLive - Asking for instructions on how to do a quest - use the Wiki - Asking about allowed hotkeys or macros - Closed Source AI Projects
Content, projects, assets and other assorted data regarding AI or Machine Learning may not be shared unless the project is open source. This includes data & media generated with AI, if it does not include source materials. This also applies to the author because we could care less about why something is closed source - and yes, that is a threat. - Vibe Check
If you act like an annoying weirdo, you run the risk of being banned. Literally, if you're going to waste of everyone's time, we'll stop giving you the time of day. __This includes, but is not necessarily limited to:__ - Brigading - Personal fixation on other redditors - Violence & Threats - Excessive Political Posting - Involving our users in your humiliation fetish - Intentional Misinformation - Medical Misinformation - Explicit profile content
Profiles containing links or comments encouraging any of the following are not permitted: - Violence or hate speech - The breaking of real-world laws - The breaking of Jagex's Terms of Service - The breaking of Reddit's Terms of Service or subreddit rules - General abuse toward moderators of this sub or any Jagex game (abuse = you being a whiny shit about mod actions) - Personal abuse toward other users, content creators, or public figures - Supremacist ideology, language, or advocacy
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
