[edit] Rules of the channel

• All RuneScape Wiki rules apply.
• All in-game Rules of RuneScape apply.

Note: Clan Chat is a part of the RuneScape game and disruptive behaviour in the channel is reportable. Users could end up with their RuneScape player account banned if they break the game rules. See the chat policies.

[edit] Additional rules as added by discussion

The following rules have been offered, in addition to above, in forums, and other discussions. See here.

1. All users must follow the rules Rules of RuneScape regarding Honour, Respect and Security, without questions or exceptions. However, we might have to “tweak” the Website Advertising rule – Obviously, we will have to mention, refer to, tell people to look at, etc., the Wiki many times. This is not "directly advertising" a fansite, as we are mentioning, not "advertising" or giving a web address.
2. No Flaming. This is pretty much self-explanatory. There is absolutely no need to flame anyone. Calling people Noobs is also to be considered as “light” flaming. Anyone who personally attacks another user is to be warned once, and then kicked. This includes discussions of users on the wiki. There are often times problems between users. Should you have something negative to say to or about someone, take it out of CC.
3. No Spamming. Spamming is simply childish, and is definitely unwelcome in our CC. Anyone who spams will get 2 warnings, and then get kicked. This includes constant spam of Quick Chat features for the sole use of annoyance. However, we understand you may be excited when you level or get a good item, and may feel the need to shout "W000000000000T!!!!!!!" when you do. Please keep this to a minimum.
4. Keep your conversations mature and remain cool-headed. It is understood that everybody has different political, religious, moral, etc views. Discussing events or beliefs like this is okay, but preferred to go to private chat. Discussing politics in the Clan Chat is acceptable, with a few conditions. If other users ask you to please calm down or stop the discussion because it is getting out of hand, kindly do so. It is very easy for these kinds of discussions to quickly evolve into heated arguments. Should this happen, users will be given 1 warning to calm down. Should they continue, please refer to Rule 2. In short, please respect the wishes of others in the Clan Chat when discussing controversial topics.
5. All users are to be treated fairly and equally. As every editor is Equal, so shall every Clan Chat member be equal. Just because one user has the ability to kick, does not make them an exception to the rules. They are expected to follow every rule, as is every other member of the Clan Chat.
6. In the event a sysop's, forumadmin's, or bureaucrat's rights are removed from the wiki due to negative reasons, their rank shall also be removed, as per discussion.
7. Banned users will be allowed to access the clan chat, however any rank and future eligibility of rank is removed, as per discussion.

[edit] Clan Chat is open to all users

Per consensus, users do not have to provide a name of their wiki account, nor must they be active users. Anonymous editors may join the clan chat if they wish. They should be encouraged to read our Clan Chat rules to avoid breaking them unintentionally.

[edit] What is a Clan Chat?

Clan Chat is a chat room feature built into the RuneScape game. A number of Wiki admins and editors host in-game clan chat channels as a meeting place for other RuneScape Wikians, although other players may also join them as well. The official Clan Chat channel for the Wiki is R S Wikia. For more information about Clan Chat in general, see the article.

• Click "Join Chat".
• Enter "R S Wikia".

[edit] Ranks

Note: Only Sergeants and higher have the ability to kick.

• Bureaucrats: Generals
• Administrators: Captains
• Forum Admins: Lieutenants
• Sergeants: Sergeants (players not in above-mentioned wiki user groups but with kicking powers)

Currently, consensus has determined that there are enough ranks in the clan, so the requests for clan chat ranking are closed. However, future bureaucrats, administrators, and forumadmins of the wiki will still receive their respective rank.
