<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>Staff Impersonation</b>

The consequences for breaking this rule vary depending on context: Those caught impersonating with good intentions will be warned not to do so in the future or muted for 24 to 48 hours; those caught impersonating with bad intentions or with the goal of scamming other users will be permanently banned from the GrinderScape server. If severe enough, impersonators may also be host-banned.

+
 
+
<b>Racism, Nazism, Sexism, or any other Prejudice</b>
+
 
+
GrinderScape does not tolerate its players being prejudiced toward any sex, race or belief (We do not allow the term 'nigga' as it get too many offensive reports.The player will be punished accordianly). Players who break this rule will be muted for a duration up to the staff member.

If a player disagrees with the choices made or punishments given by a Staff Member, that player can appeal this via the forums. If unclear on the reason behind the punishment, they can politely enquire this via private messages on the forums or discord. appeals are discussed amongst staff and a reply is given within 3days of the appeal being created.

<b>Bypassing Gambling Systems</b>

Breaking any of these rules over yell will result in a worse punishment. Soliciting others into breaking a rule (may it be provoking or blackmailing) is illegal and will result in a temporary or permanent ban depending on the situation.
  
On Grinderscape we have two specific systems for Dicing and Staking that are specifically implemented to ensure scamming does not occur. While unfortunately this happens due to player negligence, we do not allow players to make agreements on a gambling bet that bypasses our system nor do we allow players to host items for others. For example, if you want to stake 30 items and you make a "verbal agreement" to pay the two other items after the stake is over, this is bypassing our system. These situations cause tremendous amounts of scamming and prohibit staff from refunding due to the system not being properly used. If you're caught attempting to bypass the gambling systems, punishment will occur in the form of jail time and if your actions continue, you could possibly be banned.
