Administrator Popular Post Maldesto Posted January 9, 2015 Administrator Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2015 Community, These rules are to be followed at all times by all staff members, sponsors, VIPs, Script Developers, and all other community members. No one is above rule breaking. Breaking any rule can cause your account to be infracted or permanentely suspended of OSBot. Rules 1. Offensive Language/Harassment There is to be nothing posted, said, or linked on the forum or live chat that could be seen as offensive by other members of the community. This includes, but is not limited to: > Discrimination in any way, including sex, religion, race or ethnicity, nationality, sexual preference, or spiritual beliefs;> Comments intended to hurt another member;> Any dis-respect towards other members of this community; This rule also applies to media. Harassing other members of the community, including staff members, is unacceptable and will result in 2 warnings point if after a verbal warning you continue to provoke/bother said individual, this includes hate threads, disrespectful PM's on the forum and skype, constant spamming on the other members topics etc... 2. Excessive Spamming No posts to be made that is completely unrelated to the topic or does not benefit the direct cause of the topic. We are lenient and will allow joking and mild trolling, however if done excessively with absolute derogatory intent there will be punishment. Double posts are not allowed, and will be removed. Excessive double posting will result in an warning or infraction. 3. Advertising It is not allowed to post any URL to another community, commercial website, or bot. Doing so will result in a warning. Excessively spamming of an URL will result in an immediate suspension of your account. Exception: A commercial website may be advertised if the thread poster has the "Advertiser" rank purchased on the OSBot store; however this website may not be another bot or bot community. 4. Personal Information/Hate threads No personal information of other member's is allowed to be posted on the forum, even with their permission. They must post it themselves if they wish for it to be. This includes, but is not limited to: > Names;> Personal photos;> Instant Messaging;> Phone numbers;> Addresses;> E-mails;> Name relations from other communities or anywhere else; Nothing is to be created that is directed towards a certain member or staff-member of the community in a hatred way. This will not be tolerated and will result in a suspension, if not permanent ban. 5. Pornographic Content No media, content, or talk will be posted regarding pornographic content. This means that no nudity is to be shown anywhere on the forum and talking about certain sites will result in a warning. 6. Gravedigging Gravedigging, posting in an old thread, is not tolerated without proper reason. A post is considered as gravedigging when the last reply is atleast two weeks old. 7. Client Links OSBot's client link is not to be posted anywhere on this community, any other community, or otherwise made downloadable without the direct permission from OSBot. This is our property, and legal action can be taken if re-distributed. 8. Script Sales Selling and buying of scripts is only permitted through our official store. Donations for projects are allowed, however they cannot be required. It should be made clear that the donations are going towards you for development and do not benefit OSBot directly. Authentication systems, script loaders, and distribution systems need prior approval from any Admin and/or Developer. These types of miscellaneous software are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may be audited/reassessed at any point in time. Selling a single copy of a private script to a single person is tolerated. Releasing a private script a customer paid for to the public is also not allowed. Selling multiple copies of a private script will result in a permanent ban when caught for the script writer and the customers (if the customers are aware). Any way to get around this rule will be considered as "selling a private script" (Ex. Receving a percentage payment based on the users profit obtained by the script). The staff will not assist in any disputes with regards to private script transactions. Private scripts - We at OSBot will no longer deal with disputes regarding private scripts, unless the script writer is a Scripter 1/2/3. If you order a private script from a random user with no scripter rank on our forums and it doesn't work or isn't getting the support it needs, at the end of the day that is your fault for picking someone who is not qualified. The staff will instantly close with no punishment on either side with no script writer rank involved. 9. Script Content If you use someone else's work, you must have permission from them and must give full credit to their Intellectual Property. This is not just an OSBot rule, but is also illegal. Claiming someone else's script work as your own is a federal offense. 10. Malicious Content No content that contains malware, trojans, or viruses is to be posted anywhere on the forum. This includes direct intent to DDoS another member of our community, any other community, or any other website. This will result in a temporary ban, or IP ban depending on the situation; further action may be taken, as this is also a federal offense. 11. Feedbacks False feedback for the Trader Feedback System is not allowed. Feedback is also meant to be unique. This means that a single user can not give the same user multiple feedback in an unjust way to abuse the system. An example of this is buying/selling back to the same person over and over or trading in small increments and counting them as separate feedback. This can result in a full feedback reset or a ban. It is allowed to receive feedback for a service, as long as the service was either paid or there was risk involved. An example for risk is doing a firecape service for someone, on an account that contains more than 5M 07 GP. As we are aimed particularly at the RuneScape market, you are only allowed to give or receive feedback for graphics if there is at least $3 worth of goods (based off of common transfer rates) transacted. Feedback for free product will not be allowed. For further clarification on this rule, read here http://osbot.org/forum/topic/47264-feedback-rule-change/ If you use a middleman you may give him feedback but the middleman himself is not allowed to give feedback. 12. Market It is not allowed to tear apart a market thread. If someone wants to sell an account for $50, then it is not needed to post things like 'too expensive, wouldn't even buy for $20'. It is rude and unwanted. If you're not interested, then simply don't reply. 13. Criticism Rule If a staff member has made a decision that you feel is in some way incorrect or abusive, please report it to @Maldesto via private message. Please do not make a thread about the staff member in question, as this can cause minor chaos in the community. 14. Your Forum Account Making numerous accounts to bypass our VIP system is not allowed. If you are found doing this you will be banned on all alternate accounts even if you have premium scripts. If you are caught doing it after receiving a ban on the alternate accounts you will receive an IP ban. You are also not allowed to share or sell your forum account. This is not accepted and will result in a permanent ban. The use of Proxies/VPNs on the forum is prohibited. If you are using a VPN/Proxy that is linked to a banned member, you will be banned. Therefore we advise you to only use your own, real, IP address. 15. Name Changing You are not allowed to abuse the ability to change your forum name. This includes but is not limited to offensive names, replicating another users name (ex: ja5on or Jays0n), or inappropriate names. Violation of this rule will result in you losing your ability to change your name and your username will be reverted back to your login name. 16. Language This is an English only forum, you are free to use whatever language you want in private chat or personal messenger.
