Server Rules

## Section One - Trading / Scamming

### Trade scamming

Trade Scamming commonly involves a player advertising the sale of a good at a lower than average price. The item will be placed up at the start of the trade with the amount agree, however just before accepting the first screen they may choose to switch out the good for something or lower value which looks visually similar. Trade Scamming in this form is NOT allowed on Notorious and will incur a punishment with valid video evidence. The severity of the punishment will depend on the amount scammed.

### Blackmarketing

Blackmarketing involves the selling or buying of Notorious gold or items for other forms of currency. This includes but is not limited to: Trading RSGP to NotoriousGP/Items | Paypal to NotoriousGP/Items | 07GP to NotoriousGP/Items. The sale of Notorious Accounts for NotoriousGP/ RSGP / RS07 / Paypal is also illegal and will result in a permanent ban on all accounts involved.

### Money Doubling

Money doubling is a type of giveaway which is dis-allowed on Notorious. It involves a player claiming to double your money if you trust them with your money first. This again falls under trust trade scamming and is non-refundable, however any users caught in the act will receive an automatic 2 day ban. If it is proved that money has been scammed then a lengthier punishment will be placed. Not only does this apply for money, but for other items too.

### Trust Trade Scamming

A Trust Trade scam occurs when a player lends an item to another play on the grounds that the item will be returned at a later date. Refunds cannot be given for trust trade scams, however if sufficient proof is provided showing a player has indeed scammed an item during a trust trade a permanent ban will be placed on the scammers account(s). This rule also applies to any dicing games made - no refunds will be given but the user in question may be banned if they are proven to have scammed.

## Section Two - Botting / Macroing / Afking

### Using a BotClient

Any form of third party program designed to play the game in the place of a player is not allowed. A Player must be actively playing the game and controlling the actions of his or her in-game character. Any person caught botting will be permanently removed from the game.

### Using a Macro/Third Party Program

Any use of a third party program which is designed to give players an unfair advantage over others is dis-allowed on Notorious. This includes but is not limited to Bot programs, autoclickers and other macro programs. The only exception to this rule is an auto typer which must be set at a speed of 7 seconds or greater to prevent spam.

### Afk Training

Afk training refers to a player who is training while not actively at his computer, often involving the use of a macro program. Whilst we understand that some people want to train combat this way, we do not condone the use of auto-clickers or botting programs. By all means do other things on your computer whilst you're killing NPCS, but don't simply walk away and let an auto clicker do the clicking for you. You are allowed to auto-click/macro so long as you are still on the game client actively, meaning we should be able to say hello and have you respond to us.

### Minigame Leeching

Leeching is the act of a player who is not contributing to a mini-game. This basically means that you are not actively participating in the game and are only there to garner rewards. There are a variety of actions that can be considered leeching such as: Auto-clicking an object to remain active in-game, Attacking NPCs periodically to prevent inactivity timer from running out, AFKing anywhere in the mini-game and so on. For the first offence, you may be excused (up to the staff member) but will be kicked out of the game. If seen again with the same offence, you can be banned for up to 4 days. The punishment can become more severe if you are a repeat offender. Warnings do not have to be distributed to the players; it is up to you to know what the rules are and follow them. Please note Fight Pit boosting also falls under this category, any player caught intentionally killing their own accounts at the fight pits will be infracted.
Note - Please note that this infraction can be placed on the main account as well if a player is found to be afking on their alternate accounts.

## Section Three - Bug Abuse

### Minor Bug Abuse
