Why does the forum have an entire forum full of threads and posting breaking this rule?A5. Do not use this forum for any illegal practices, including but not limited to:
* Being involved in hacking or encouraging hacking.
* Breaking of the Habbo Way or encouraging T&C violation.
* Posting warez or other illegal downloads.
People get warned/infracted for talking or suggesting using a bot but this forum allows people to trade Runescape for stuff out of the game. I don't understand? I believe I've had a usernote for posting a bot status report which is a T&C violation yet people in this section get away with it...
Am I missing something?

I've seen a couple of times people posting SAM links/codes, which is also a similar violation of this rule in my opinion (it has become better in this aspect, but still happens). I think it's high time to crack down fully on this, you either go one way or the other and obviously you wouldn't want to be sponsoring illegal activity.
I also think Josh, that not every moderator is aware of this- so there may be this net created.Last edited by Grig; 09-01-2011 at 09:34 AM.

I know that posting SAM links and codes was cracked down on a while back, DJs used to give them to people in the Ask hxl staff forums but that was stopped. As far as I'm aware no t&c violations are allowed but if you report the posts then I'm sure they will get dealt with

But there's an entire section full of them... it kind of needs management intervention unless the moderator is going to go through and edit and remove every active thread there.

As far as I know it is only not allowed if it is for 'real world money' and it has always been that way. Account trading is not allowed.

What is real world item trading? It is the trading of items in Runescape for real world money. This rule is there to prevent players from trading accounts for the skills and items instead of earning them through game play. It is also unsafe, as many of these people may attempt to steal your money.
You will seldom be able to see it in game, but if you do see anyone doing it in game, it would be best to send in a report under this rule

People are selling things (or exchanging them) for other things in real life and other games. This isn't legal as the thing they're selling isn't even theirs to begin with. Originally Posted by Jagex

Edit: Here is an example that is related. Look at the answer.
5. Am I allowed to accept a forum signature as payment for an item?
Forum signatures are not items or services in-game, therefore you are not able to accept these as payment for an item in RuneScape.Last edited by Josh; 09-01-2011 at 01:09 PM.

There is no rule against trading (except for accounts) - they are not 'selling' they are trading for habbo. Habbos trade habbo items for Runecape. There is no transfer of ownership involved and if what you say is true that would not be allowed either. Runecapers trade with each other. Habbos trade with each other. I am sure Jagex would be the first to stop this if they felt it did. I can see no T & C violation there. If you saying they are trading from accounts that aren't theirs then that's a different matter. As far as pins go without seeing the rule I cannot comment. Originally Posted by Wiizzz

A forum signature can be replaced for something as a Habbo piece of furniture in this example as it's outside the game of Runescape.
As you can see by the answer, it explains why it isn't allowed as a payment. It isn't in the game of Runescape as an item or a service so it simply isn't allowed to be used as payment for ingame items.Am I allowed to accept a forum signature as payment for an item?
Forum signatures are not items or services in-game, therefore you are not able to accept these as payment for an item in RuneScape.
Last time I checked, Habbo wasn't in Runescape.r.i.p.

Josh is correct here, it is indeed true that Jagex and Sulake are two separate entities. Forums have been known to have been in trouble for such illegal activity. It is a good thing it is only small on Habbox, but it is still against Jagex policy.
We are speaking about strictly in-game trading, anything not so is considered illegal- simply put.Last edited by Grig; 09-01-2011 at 02:37 PM.
