# Rule 11 - Advertising/Website

You are not allowed to actively advertise in the Golden-Age game or Golden-Age forums.

This includes advertising any website or product, and no web addresses
are allowed. Telling other players any web-address is not allowed.

Below are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule.

Links to sites can sometimes be dangerous to players (by leading you to
sites with inappropriate content) or your computer (by downloading a
virus when you go to the site). This precaution has been taken in order
that no links to any sites may be advertised in-game or in the
Golden-Age Forums, thereby protecting you and your computer.

# ==

Does this include messenger program IDs and IRC channels?

# ==

Does this include file-sharing websites (like video sites)?

# ==

Does this rule include giving out the link to my clan/fan site?

# ==

Yes. Unfortunately we just don’t have the resources to check every
website being mentioned, and even well meaning sites could inadvertently
 contain risks. So this rule covers ALL websites.

# ==

Can I advertise my website in Golden-Age?

# ==

No, you cannot. As you may know, some sites are used to harvest
unsuspecting players' passwords which spoils players enjoyment of the
game. We take password security very seriously and therefore have to
enforce a rule whereby no websites are advertised in game.

Clearly this may result in an injustice against players who create
websites designed to help the Golden-Age Community. However, we need to
ensure that player accounts are absolutely secure, and to this end we
have developed this policy. We hope that at some point in the future
this can change, and more community sites will take the place of hack
sites. For the time being though, account security is absolutely
essential.

# ==

Do you have any conditions that you would like Fan Sites to abide by?

# ==

Yes we do. Please see the below:

* The site should abide by the Terms of Service for Golden-Age.

* The site should not promote any activity that is against our Rules of Conduct.

* The site should not publish an article or text taken from the Jagex

or Golden-Age websites without permission. If you do use any text or
images you must acknowledge Golden-Age.com as the source, and link back
to our site.

* The site should not link to or promote any adult sites, or sites that conflict with Jagex interests.

* The site should not promote any sites or information that provide or

 support hacking, software piracy or other illegal activities.

# ==

Can I promote my Clan website in the game or in the forums?

# ==

It is a breach of the rules to post anything promoting a website in the
forums or in the game. As such, if you do post the URL for your clan
site you could be banned.

We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but please remember
that this rule is there to make it impossible for people to send players
 to scam sites.

*To keep Golden-Age enjoyable for everyone please observe and follow*
this rule. We will not tolerate disruptive players, and if you break our
 rules your account is likely to be banned. Members who are banned for
breaking our rules are not entitled to any sort of refund.
