<b>Excessive Profanity</b>
+
−
 
+
−
At GrinderScape, users are given the freedom of speech. However, that freedom is not unrestricted and is based on how severe the profanity is. As GrinderScape is frequented by underage and generally young children, excessive swearing or anything else excessively profane is forbidden in order to shield that aforementioned part of the player-base. Please understand that this is to keep the impressionable out of harm's way. Those who decide not to follow this rule will be punished in the form of a verbal warning and/or temporary mute.
+

<b>Advertising Other Servers</b>

−
GrinderScape does not, in any way shape or form, tolerate advertising other RuneScape servers. Advertising is classed as the following; -Mention another server with the intent on harming the servers playerbase. -Recruiting other players via any form of communicating methods (public, private, clan or yell). -mentioning another server followed by a comment which can be considered as nasty or flaming the server and its staff. The punishment for this rule being broken will be a minimum of an account ban depending on the severity of the situation, an appeal can be made via the forums depending on the outcome. if a player mentions another server or talk about one unknowingly you will be asked to stop, if you continue you may be met with a short mute.

<b>Racism, Nazism, Sexism, or any other Prejudice</b>

<b>Disrespecting Members of Staff and/or their Decisions</b>

Luring on Grinderscape is not allowed.  However, A mutual agreement between two players either from private message or general chat is fine. No payment of any kind will not be in the agreement. Yell is a communication method not only meant to create positive interactions between community members (especially new players) but to allow a safe method of all other activities.
