The Rules Of Invictus
Server Rules
1.Advertising: Permanent Ban
Advertising of another RSPS is strictly forbidden and a permanent removal of the community will be issued. There are NO second chances for this offence and any Appeal will be Declined.a. Common known links (e.g. Rune-Server, Runelocus, and YouTube) is fine and will be commonly permitted. Links are expected to be to advertise directly to where they say they're going (e.g. advertising a YouTube link, and then it links to a whole new site; no matter if it's harmful or not).
b. Members wanting to advertise another link outside of RSPS related material can send a link to an administrator and await approval.
2. Spamming: Mute/Ban
Spamming on Invictus will not be permitted, acts of such feats will be acted upon accordingly by the staff members of Invictus. We should all be acting as mature as we can while on Invictus and respect others wishes as well, those who continue to do such feats will be removed from Invictus if needed.
a. Yell should not be abused under any circumstances, take a few seconds between each yell and send another message. It’s not a right.
b. Auto-Typer should not be abused but is allowed, the timer should be at least set to eight-ten (8-10) seconds if not a little higher.
c. You may not advertise your gambling clan outside of the gambling area (castle wars).
3. Misleading Links, Hacking and Thread : IP Ban
Misleading links are never allowed on the server, we expect links to open up to us what it was advertised for. Failure to comply with this rule will result in a permanent removal from the community.
Hacking in any shape or form will result in a permanent removal from the community, simply put.
Threatening members that will put their life, security, and reputation at risk will result in a permanent removal from the community.
5. Third Party Software
The use of third party software that allows a member to have an unfair advantage in any way will result in a six hour jail time, followed by a two-day ban, and finally ending with a permanent suspension from the server. We want a fair environment where all players have the equal chance of all features. This is including but not limited to auto-clickers, auto-typers (if auto-typing is not being followed properly), etc., there's no reason to risk it!
6. Real World Trading: Ban *Time Varies*
Purchasing, selling goods, or services (accounts, real life items, RSGP, Xbox Live Credit, riot points, other private server items for Invictus items etc.) will not be tolerated and action will be taken if it continues, we do not have the time for members to come to us and tell us that they've been scammed or hacked. This also including the server, we do want people coming at us as I said before, if we do not catch X member and end up being scammed. We will not be held responsible for the scam, or hacking.a. Purchasing or Selling of any Invictus account will not be allowed on the server or forums. The ban will be permanent the first time with no chance of appeal, the second will be an IP-Ban.
b. Purchasing or Selling of donator status on an existing account is not allowed on the server or forums, we only permit the sale of the scrolls within game this way no one is scammed. Advertising that you're going to do so will result in a 24 hour mute. Please note that we are allowing members to donate for one another (for example, member 'a' buys member 'b' donator status and then member 'b' pays them 300m).
7. Bug Abuse: Perm Ban/IP-Ban
Abuse of a bug or glitch that allows a player to somehow have an advantage over another or the server itself is not tolerated. We ask all members to report them as soon as they're found otherwise a permanent removal from the community will be issued.8. Refunds, Scams, and Disconnects , etc.
a. Disconnections will not be refunded, feel free to create a thread about it and stating the problem so the problem can be fixed though.
b. Donations will ONLY be refunded if he/she has NOT been given their items or position (forums, server) after 72 hours, otherwise, a refund is not required. Remember, items that have been obtained through our donation system that is lost at their own doing will not be refunded.
c. Reset of the server or forums will be refunded if he or she has posted valid proof of their purchase in the relative board, otherwise, a refund is not required on our part.
d. Scammed members will not be refunded because there are simple tactics to not be scammed in the first place such as using a middleman (server support, moderator, administrator etc.). Please note that we will not be accepting photo-reports of members being scammed, it must be a video or it will not be handled. Please do note that scammers will be punished severely with a permanent ban on their first offense and an IP-Ban on their second offense.
e. Account sharing is not of our concern and is at the discretion of member to do so, however, members who do decide to do so and have had their accounts muted, banned, or otherwise “hacked” will be at their own fault.
f. Hacking refunds will not be handed out, those who have been victimized should have all the security features that we offer on Invictus.
g. Glitch refunds will ONLY be refunded if the member has 100 percent proof, and has proof of the items prior to the glitch happening. Note that if a developer (or whoever has spawning abilities) does not see the proof to be enough, it can be declined and a refund is not required.
9. Yell Channel
You may not use the Yell Channel to advertise clan-chats unless you’re a part of the staff team, or given permission by another staff member. This includes but not limited to gambling chats, clan channels and so forth. Keep in mind that requesting approval is accepted but is not required for us to accept.
a. Use of the Yell command to flame-bait, flame, troll, or other abuse of the command will not be tolerated and your rights to the command can be removed without being reinstated in the future.
b. Luring members over the Yell channel is also against our rules and can result in the removal of your command without being reinstated at a later time.
c. The use of the yell channel to advertise a clan-chat related to gambling, asking players to gamble (flower poker, etc.) is not allowed on the server. While we offer this feature, we do not want it to be our primary source for everyone to want to go to rather than use skilling, merchanting, etc.
d. The yell channel has been limited to 30 seconds per yell for people who are advertising a stream and selling or purchasing items.
e. You may not afk and advertise over yell. This includes Grand Exchange, forum threads, and other types of in-game advertisements.
10. PvP Player vs. Player
Invictus is not held responsible for members who have lost, disconnected, etc. while in the wilderness. For the most part, going into the wilderness is at people's own risk, however, we have but a few rules:a. PVP-Farming will be an automatic IP-Ban or Mac Ban from the server and no chance of appeal.
b. Luring is apart of MANY RSPS communities, and RuneScape itself. It is not punishable on Invictus, however, the only exception to this rule is luring staff asking for help, or anything else along the lines will result in a punishment up to and/or including a ban.
11. VPN Voting
Changing your IP to gain multiple vote books is against the rules. If you're caught you will be punished.
12. Flaming, Disrespect, Harassment, and Inappropriate Content: Mute/IP-Mute
Many communities are composed of different backgrounds and beliefs. As such, this community is composed of different beliefs, morals, sexual orientations etc., and we take the value of equality seriously. Remember that each person will take an insult differently depending on these values.a. The use of inappropriate and/or disrespectful language towards another’s belief, race, religion, and harassing members is not tolerated. While we have an ignore system, we expect members to act accordingly towards each other.
b. Content that is advertised and/or discussed VIA the yell channel, public chat, or clan chat that is deemed inappropriate per the staff member’s discretion will be dealt with accordingly. This includes but not limited to; pornographic material, debates about sensitive topics, etc.

Forum Rules
a. Topics, posts, PMs etc., that are directed at a single member, or group, to either defame them of their reputation, character or to simply insult, flame them directly etc., will result in infractions or a ban from the forum.

This also includes text-based material in our threads, posts, avatars, profile page etc., and should the rule be broken - he/she will face a permanent removal from the community altogether.
Inappropriate Content that provides media of drug use, bad behavior, and other various forms of content that are deemed inappropriate (at the discretion of the staff member) will be removed and enforced. This is not a community for such things and we do not want to advertise this on the website for our younger audience regardless if they know about it. This isn't what this community is for so keep it off.
We will not tolerate inappropriate names that contain any vulgar language, hate crime, relationship to pornographic material, impersonations (members, mod, admin, owner etc.) or anything that would be considered inappropriate of any sort. Those who fail to comply with this rule will be requested to choose another username by a staff member (the member will have 24 hours to respond). After he or she has not responded or refused the change, their IP will be banned and the account deleted.

Posts that do not contribute to the topic or the quoted text in that is in some form keeping to the main post is considered spam, this rule has been broken down though, read below:
a. Posts that consist of a single word (e.g. "support") will be considered spamming on the forums and a warning or infraction will be given per the staff's discretion. The exception to this rule are the boards that do not give an increase in posts (introductions, marketplace (selling, buying, and purchasing), and spam).
b. Grave digging is the act of posting in a "dead thread", which is a thread that was not posted in for over fourteen (14) days. Unless you're posting useful information towards the topic at hand, don't do it.

6. Punishment Evasion: Ban/IP-Ban
Punishments that are handed out towards members is one of the reasons communities maintain a balanced environment. Punishments that are evaded are not taken lightly if you feel like you deserve another chance then take it seriously and quickly make an appeal; don’t make a scene.

b. Purchasing or Selling of donator status on an existing account is not allowed on the server or forums. Advertising that you're going to do so will result in a 24-hour mute (considering this will be considered scamming as the only people that can transfer ranks are developers with Mod in front of their name, and a Gold Crown before their name when spoken in chat). Please note that we are allowing members to donate for one another (for example, member 'a' purchasing the status for member 'b' and the member 'a' pays that member 300m).
8. Encouraging Others to Break Rules: Infraction/Ban
Members that are somehow encouraging others to break a rule whether or not he/she understands the rule will result in a mute or ban at the discretion of the staff.
9. Invading Other Communities: IP-Ban
Invading other communities is without question a permanent ban from the forums and server, we do not tolerate this and want to remain peaceful throughout the RSPS community. Such things are a cause of desperation and there's not going to be a time where the administration will stoop to that level of "stealing" other's members - it's unacceptable and will be dealt with harshly.
10. Backseat Moderation
Backseat moderation is something that we simply do not allow because it causes drama throughout the community and questions on whether or not we are an authority figure or if the members themselves are. While we are all equal and should listen and learn from each other - that's simply how it is, we do not do this. Those who find something that needs to be reported or something of the sort, simply report it to a staff member, do not act like one and cause drama, this only causes an uproar.
Terms Of Service
By being on the forums and server (this being implied that you've already read the rules), you understand that you are responsible for your own actions. You understand that the rules stated above will be enforced at all times and the administration has the ability to further the punishment despite what it states above, this is the administration's discretion. We have permission to do what we want with your account as they are a property of ours and you are merely 'playing' on it. You understand that when a rule is broken, your account will be dealt with accordingly and fairly as possible through the system that we have made for the staff team and how people are dealt with.
You understand that we the administration have the ability and authority to alter your account at any time should we have to or feel we must check something onto one's account and agree that requesting a refund after an administrator has made an X change is not made.
You understand that the staff team is required to provide proof, however, we will not disclose a member's name (the one that reported you) if the member requests it. Many of the reports made in the report abuse board are hidden for a reason from others, however, we will do our best to provide the proof that we need.
You understand that we are not responsible for what is posted on these forums (while we will take action after it's either reported or we see it) so therefore someone that has been infected through these forums by a third party or by someone of this community, it's not our responsibility but it will be dealt with. So this being said, we are not responsible for ANY damage made to personal property or information being stolen. Per this section, you understand that inappropriate posts (as said above though, once it's reported or we see it - it will be dealt with) that a child MAY encounter such as pornographic material, promoting drug-related topics etc., it's not our responsibility, this is solely the parent's role. All emails or PMs to us by parents will either be replied to with simple words, or ignored and deleted - make no mistake, we will take care of it once reported or seen.
When reporting a member of the community you must provide a full-screen picture of the client and computer. We will no longer be accepting reports that have been cut-out, cropped etc., we expect the entire picture to be there; if it's not then we will not deal with the report. If you happen to have a reason to report a staff member it needs to be video proof, we will no longer accept pictures as proof as it is very easy to falsify proof and we do not need unnecessary drama caused by that. All punishment times can be altered depending on the severity of the rule broken.
Thank You
Invictus Staff Team
