#######################
CLAN CHAT INFORMATION
#######################
Hey all

We would also like to invite you to use our clan chat ingame:
Username: Accepted3
Sometimes certain goals don't allow you to surf the forums, due to the constant clicking, and we've found that having a clan chat ingame helps keep us entertained as we skill, even if we can't always type.
It is also a great way to receive support while you are training and definitely helps beat the boredom bugs.
##########################
The Four Be's - Clan Chat Rules
##########################
1) Be Kind
2) Be Respectful
3) Be Supportive
4) Be Appropriate
---
All the rules revolve around these three. If the four "Be's" are followed, you won't be stung. Hehe okay, lame I know, but please keep the feelings of others in mind when you access the chat.
It doesn't matter how long a person has been in chat, we expect all to remember these rules. Even the chat captains/generals are not above the rules.
Biggest of all though, please follow Jagex rules. I know this goes without saying, but it would be best to read them over if you haven't yet, as I'd hate to see anyone get in trouble.
Thanks all
Acc

#######################
CLAN CHAT SYSTEM - PLEASE READ
#######################
As you know from above, our chat will be based on four rules; these rules will not be treated lightly. If you are found being rude, or disruptive, or even arguing with a clan chat enforcer’s decision, we will boot you from the chat.
If a blatant rule has been broken, or someone has been rude/disruptive/insulting, the chat enforcers are *NOT* required to give them a warning before they boot, unless they feel the player would benefit from the warning. Due to previous issues that have arisen, the clan chat enforcers are no longer required to state why a player has been booted from chat in public, nor will they discuss it with people in the chat, unless they choose to do so.
Everyone already knows there is no reason to be rude, inconsiderate or disruptive towards other people. If we feel that you are not aware of what you have done wrong, we may give a second chance before we boot, especially if you are new to chat.
We understand that players like to joke around with each other, but other players in the chat may not understand that you are joking, and we cannot guarantee that you will not be reported for making an inappropriate joke.
All joking and conversation must be kept appropriate at all times.
----
If someone is booted, the chat enforcers will let me know who and why. And depending on how serious the offense was, we may issue a temporary ban or permanent ban from chat as well.

-------------
JAGEX RULES
-------------
Apart from the rules I've listed above, you need to keep Jagex own rules as well. If you do something in chat that *IS* reportable, you will likely be removed from the clan chat, unless its somewhat minor. So please ensure that you are aware of Jagex ingame rules.
---------------------------
I'VE BEEN BOOTED, WHAT NOW?
---------------------------
There are two reasons why you may have been booted
1) Accidental - sometimes when our clan chat has spammers, the odd person may accidentally get booted as a result of them popping in and out of chat. This shouldn't happen often, but if it does, have no fear, the boot only lasts an hour and you won't get in trouble Our apologies if it does happen. If you know for sure you didn't do anything, you can be 100% sure that you fall in this category, and I wouldn't worry.
2) You've broken a rule - If you have been booted as a result of breaking a rule, please do not contact members of the chat to try and find out why you were booted, it will be fairly obvious. Asking players to discuss it in chat often disrupts the whole chat. The boot is only for an hour, and if it goes by peacefully, you will more than likely be allowed to re-enter the chat.
When you are allowed to re-enter chat, please do not bring up the issue, nor go after the enforcer that booted you. Arguing will not help your cause, nor will insulting them, and may likely get you a temporary ban from chat. The best thing to do is simply start fresh, as there are other people in the chat that should not have to be subject to your frustrations.
If you are truly unsure as to why you were booted, once the Chat enforcer lets me know who was booted and why, I will more than likely contact you myself to discuss it. However, please do not expect the conversation to last long if you deny doing anything and all you can do is rant about power abuse.
Please be mature and take responsibility for your actions.

----------------------
CLAN CHAT JUMPERS
----------------------
If a player is purposely disrupting the clan chat by jumping in and out and making inappropriate comments, we will boot them and give a permanent ban. It is disruptive and not necessary.
If you notice this happening when a clan chat enforcer is not online, please do not respond to the jumper, simply place them on your ignore list. If they are being offensive, please be sure to report them as well
-----------------------
OFFENSIVE USER NAMES
-----------------------
If a player enters the chat with an offensive username, they will receive an immediate boot without any explanation. Offensive names are not necessary nor are they welcome.
If you have a main account in the chat, and chose to disrupt the chat with an offensive name, and it is discovered that it was you that created it, you will be banned from entering the chat.
-----------------------------
RETALIATING TO RULE-ENFORCERS
-----------------------------
While we do understand that sometimes you feel that bans/warnings are unfairly given, we do ask that you do not discuss it in chat, nor insult or make sarcastic remarks to the enforcer that gave the warning, especially if it wasn't you that was given the warning.
What happens between a chat enforcer and another player is between them, and myself, getting yourself involved will make the situation worse and more than likely get yourself in trouble as well.
If someone makes an insulting or rude remark to the enforcer you will more than likely get booted as well, as comments like that are not needed.
If you simply inquire about the boot, you will be told that we do not discuss it in chat, and if any further comments are made on it, we may issue a warning. Any contination after a warning will result in a boot.
This is to help keep the peace in chat.
If a group of players choose to disrupt the chat after another player has been booted, they will receive a temporary ban.

-------------------
DISRUPTING CLAN CHAT FLOW
-------------------
Here I will attempt to explain what kind of messages we dislike in clan chat.
Two line Ascii art is okay in moderation of course. If you do it 3-4 times in a row, or fairly close together you will receive a warning.
If an indivdiual makes 4-5+ posts saying the same thing over and over, you will more than likely be asked to stop, such as:
HI@@@@@
HI@@@@@
HI*@@@@
or
^
^
^
^
If you sing a song in chat and post numerous lines of it, something which disrupts the flow of chat, you will be asked to stop.
Any posts that are made to be disruptive or annoying, like inappropriate comments, are not welcome.
------------------------------------
CAN I ACT LIKE A CHAT ENFORCER?
------------------------------------
Please do not act like a chat enforcer. If everyone in chat jumps on a player it can be very intimidating and make a situation worse. We ask that you leave the enforcing to the 'clan chat enforcers'.
If there is no clan chat enforcer in the chat at the time of the incident, please ignore it, do not respond to that player.
If the player is super disruptive, please add them to your ignore and encourage others to do the same. You can write their name down and what they were doing wrong; Then, as soon as a clan chat enforcer enters chat, please ask to speak with them privately about it, incase the user is still in chat.
Also, if they break Jagex rules, please report them.

###############################
ACHIEVERS DISCIPLINARY ACTION *NEW*
###############################
Here you will see a list of the actions we'll take in chat should rules be broken. I will be keeping track of all the boots, and reasons for the boots.
-------------------------------
WARNINGS
-------------------------------
If a general, or I, issue out a warning in chat, please do not argue with it in public, rather, please heed the warning. Should players argue or cause disruption in the chat due to a warning, we will boot.
*Warnings are not required to be given, but are left at the sole discretion of the General, if they feel someone may benefit from it. Previous offenders might not receive any warnings*
-------------------------------
ONE HOUR BOOT
-------------------------------
This has been touched on already, but if anyone is found being disruptive, and rude in chat, or breaking chat or Jagex rules, you may receive a boot from chat.
-------------------------------
A ONE WEEK CHAT BAN *NEW*
-------------------------------
If you have been booted from chat three times for being disruptive, you will receive a one week chat ban.
If players are found breaking the thread rules, they may also receive a week ban at my discretion. Please remember that the thread is separate from ingame issues and they shouldn't be discussed here.
Week bans may occur if I feel the offense is severe enough, even without prior boots.
*This doesn't include accidental chat bans

*
-------------------------------
MONTH CHAT BAN *NEW*
-------------------------------
If after you return from a one week ban, you continue being disruptive and are booted 3 times, you will receive a one month chat ban.
-------------------------------
PERM CHAT BAN
-------------------------------
Should you continue being disruptive after, you will be perm banned from chat. We're here to be supportive and kind to others, not be rude or cause disruption by making rude jokes, etc
continued..

-------------------------------
SECONDARY ACCOUNTS
-------------------------------
If you have received a ban, or a boot, we ask that you do not enter the chat with secondary accounts. Should this be discovered the secondary account will be booted as well.
If players hassle the chat with a secondary account after receiving a boot, the boot will turn into a week ban. For the length of the ban, or for the length of the boot, please do not enter the chat with any account.
#########################
CLAN CHAT ENFORCERS
#########################
We are still trying to update this section, but at the moment you will notice we have some players in chat who are gold stars.
Gold stars are the generals of the chat. They were selected to help keep the peace in chat, and have the ability to boot if need be.
-----
GENERALS
---------
If you boot a player, please write their name down and what exactly they did, and then let me know when I log in next. Also, please let me know if any other generals were in the chat at the time of the booting.
For the most part, I ask that you use your judgment when booting a player. Feel free to warn them if you think it will help, especially if its a new face to chat. Otherwise, just go by the above guidelines that I've written for clan chat members.
