All about Spam
- Posts that are off topic. For example, if the topic was "How do I get to Falador" and you posted about bananas, this would be spam.
- Posts that are just a jumble of letters/symbols/numbers (an example: 98092;lkajskjkjalksd).
- Posts that have no value for discussion. For example, posting a thread stating that "Bunnies are fuzzy" is spam and hardly thought-provoking!
- Advertising other threads in your posts. If you have an interesting topic then users will visit it of their own accord.
- Posting 'THIS IS SPAM!' or anything similar on a topic.
- Posting duplicate threads. If there is already a thread about the subject you want to discuss, please post on that thread; duplicate threads clutter up the forums, making it harder for everyone to find what they are looking for. However, if a thread exceeds the limit of 2,000 messages, you may create another thread in the same forum to continue the discussion.
- Posting signatures longer than the allowed two lines of text. If signatures are any longer, they frequently end up taking up more room than the actual contents of the post, which is disruptive to your fellow forum users.
- Excessive bumping of threads. When a thread contains many content-free “Bump” posts, it makes it harder for readers to find the actual posts. Instead, the thread creator should use the “Bump thread” button.
- Post-count farming. Spamming in order to raise your post count is strictly not allowed.
- Posting on behalf of another user. The ability to post is a member's privilege. If the other person or character is a member, they can post for themselves. If not, they shouldn't be extended a member's benefit.
- Posts regarding fraudulent activities such as pyramid schemes and chain letters. See also Rule 2: Item Scamming.
