Last Updated: 6 October 2009

Additional Info:
This is not an official staff-endorsed chat. Please do not advertise this chat as the official Tip.it clan chat. All rule updates will be in this color.

This chat does not house Jagex staff members. If you are seeking to have your RuneScape accounts unbanned, unmuted, have black marks deleted, etc., please use customer support instead.

This is the 3rd generation HYT chat. Thanks Lightning and Forsakenmage.

(This is pretty much the same rules as the old FSM cc, but I've decided to make a separate post so I can freely edit this (thanks Ami!) )

Rules/Guidelines

1.) All RuneScape rules apply. Please do not come into the chat and expect immunity from the game rules. You may be reported if you are found breaking them.
1a.) A Note to Wanna-Be-Moderators - If you're just coming to the chat to look for things to report, leave. Being a vigilante will not make you a player moderator any faster. If you think something is reportable in the chat, I highly recommend you check the context first.
2.) Keep spam to a minimum.If you are using quick chat, please be sure you're using it within conversational reason.
This includes: singing in the cc, spamming "buying.. & selling... items." Also, refrain from asking mass questions ("What are your combat levels?")
2a.) Two-line ASCII art such as the party hats and the ice cream cones, including ones made by two people, are allowed only in moderation in the chat.Team ASCII made by more than 2 people warrants an insta-kick. Persistent use and spamming despite warnings will result in a kick and/or ban from the chat.
2b.) Internet memes ("over 9000," "I herd u liek mudkipz," "Chuck Norris" jokes, etc.) are allowed only in moderation in the chat. Persistent use and spamming despite warnings will result in a kick!
2c.)Many chatters have been using "FML" after almost every stupid or bad thing that's happened to them. Not only is this annoying, but can also constitute as advertising the website related to the if taken in the wrong context. Please only use this in moderation.
3.) No sexual/racial jokes, commentary, etc. We wish to have an open-minded safe environment for our players without the need to degrade others.
4.) Keep controversial topics to a minimum. Should the conversation get too heated, you will be asked to tone it down or change topics.
4a.) Due to the lack of respect shown for each other during these discussions, religious discussion of any sort is not allowed (aside from the RuneScape ones of course).
5.) Please use English when chatting in the channel. If you would like to talk to another chatter using a language other than English, use private message.
6.) Any impersonation of users of the chat can and will result in those accounts being banned from the chat, no questions asked. It is especially offensive to impersonate a chat moderator. You will be banned on sight from the chat if caught doing this.
7.) Please do not ask for chat moderator status, rank, etc. Your requests will be ignored and may decrease your chances of becoming a chat moderator should we require more in the future. Further pestering may result in you being temporarily banned from the chat.
8.) Please do not incite fights with other clan chats, i.e. spam wars, "That Chat Is Better Than This," etc. Our chat is not engaged with these activities. Do not go into other people's chats to advertise ours. That is very disrespectful. Breaking this rule will result in a ban from the chat.
note to other clans' channel moderators/owners: If there's been instances of spammers claiming to be from our channel (or if you do recognize them as chatters from our channel), please coordinate with our chat moderators/owner (a screenshot pm'd to the owner would help).
10.) Please be respectful toward the other chatters. Take any personal vendettas you have against each other out of the chat room.
11.) If you wish to appeal your ban from the chat itself, please PM twiley on the forums. Do not use a third party to try to appeal.
12.) Have fun! Treat others as you want to be treated and you will be fine.

note to chatters:

The rules are not meant to be literal insofar that anything that's not listed here (but deemed offensive by the chat mods) is not against the rules. It's not a loophole. It's called having common sense and self-moderation/knowing when to stop.

Chat Moderators

All chat moderators must be able to maintain a somewhat stable environment in the chat. Any abuse of powers reported can result in removal of your powers, and depending on severity, can you result in you being banned from the chat. Being a chat moderator does not mean you are above the law. You are expected to comply with all the rules and be role models for other chatters. Chat moderators are ranked Captains and above. Please bear in mind that becoming a chat moderator will not increase your chances of becoming a player moderator in the game.

note to chat moderators:

Don't forget to warn first before you kick (one warning). Please also make sure you use the report abuse button as necessary. If there's any disagreement about how to enforce the rules, DO NOT ARGUE ABOUT IT IN THE CHAT. In most cases, non-chat mods get involved resulting in flame wars/spam. Discuss the issue via PM. Also, if a chat moderator is breaking the rules, PM him first and talk about it. If he doesn't listen and continue to break the rules, you know what to do.
I know we have rules but being too strict will only make them more unruly. As some non-chat mods may see you as an authority figure, "they will rebel against you and push the boundaries" (MMK).
DO NOT MASS KICK! Even if you do miss-kick someone, don't kick everyone else just to let that person in again. Once a cmod start mass kicking people, the others will follow. I will not allow this.

We are continually adjusting things so that there is a chat moderator around the clock to assist you. If there is a problem and there are no chat moderators available, please PM "twiley" so that the ignore list can be compiled as appropriate (including screen shots would be most helpful).

Will/ Do you actually read the screenshots that come in from players or does it depend on who it is coming from ie if someone you dont like sends a ligitimate screenshot will you still look at it?

Thats the problem. Theres been many times where Malk wasnt trolling yet he was still accused of it. the ont problem with the chat is the one line of "Problems with cc moderators will be discussed only by cc moderators"

[bleep]  this [cabbage], there goes my free say.

[Water]

Hey,

I'm  glad to announce that there finally is a new ClanChat for F2P'ers.
Or should I say, for F2P-discussion?!  \/

The CC name is 'F2P HQ'

What's the point of this cc?
Well, what I'm trying to do is create a chat for everyone who likes to discuss F2P.
Mainly, I'm hoping to make this cc some kind of meeting-space for
Top 250 F2P'ers, Top F2P skillers, other F2P'ers, ex-F2P'er and even members
who enjoy & respect F2P.  


Feel free to join the CC. We just launching it, so it wont be filled-up yet!
That's your task!  


Current ranksystem
Rank 1-20 F2P - General
Rank 21-40 F2P - Captain
Rank 41-60 F2P - Lieutenant
Rank 1-3 F2P skillers - Sergeant
Rank 4-10 F2P skillers - Corporal


All ranks will be able to kick in the Chat.
I expect them to be responsable, and not kick whenever they would like.  

( am still working on the chat, so give it some time)

[Graiskye]

I have been lurking in Lady Hyts chat for a couple of weeks, and I can honestly say, the rules posted here are a joke. If you are one of the handful of chatters that blab on non stop (24/7 seemingly)on that channel, you can do whatever it is you like. Not too mention, they rarely help when people ask questions, instead they get flamed, and called a troll, its a sad CC, that is why I am here looking for another CC, a better one, but alas, thats it, a CC filled with what appears to be kids from Highschool. No thanks, Ive seen/read enough.
There are a handful of nice people and a whole bunch of immature idiots, I guess thats the game, lol.
If you have a CC filled with mature people, who arent concerned with what they are wearing to church, or the mark they got on their science exam, PM me.

Anyone is welcome to join my clan chat its called Queens N Knights but just type my Runescape Screenname: FaithNoMore to enter the clan chat, I just started it about a month ago and anyone can join, if I get enough members it will most likely be a fun, sociable clan that helps with skilling and dungeoneering.If anyone starts being rude or talking down on other players you will be kicked, otherwise its a free for all =D

ForsakenMage turned the chat over to someone else quite some time ago. The current clan chat owner is: Shyla

[1337_Byte]

Clan Chat: I337 Byte
For Elitists.

[verte]

Just make sure you don't go to Shyla cc and have an opinion different from the "regulars".

Graiskye pretty much hit the nail on the head.

[Shyla]

Three years ago it was "don't go to Lightning's cc." The next it was "don't go to Forsakenmage's cc." Now it's "don't go to Shyla's cc." I mean really, I could say the same for other chat channels. "Don't go to *name's cc* because they're so immature etc." If you didn't have a pleasant time in the channel I'm sorry but it's not like I can monitor everything that happens in the cc and if there is such a cc where everyone likes you the minute you come in and agrees with everything you say, please pm me, I'd very much like to join that.

I try to keep things sane in the channel - reading PMs, deciding over cc issues etc-  but with tons of messages coming in every other day, it's tough. Some new people like it and stick around, others don't. You can't just know everyone in a day, a week or even a month. There's a reason why a lot of people, the ancient "tipitchat" people still stick around.  

[Grogthurk]

Was kicked without warning tonight. I'm pretty sure I know who kicked me.

Also, get your mods reigned in. Some like to start [cabbage], then if you DEFEND yourself, they get upset and act like children.

However, hyt is fine for the most part.

HYT Friend Chat Rules & Guidelines
Updated 14-MAR-2012
Most recent changes in Red.

Owner: Serpent Eye

Primary Use: Hang out and chat with other Tip.It/Tip.It Forum users. Our chat is not a 'specialized' chat in the sense that we aren't a PKing or warring clan, nor are we a skilling clan. HYT is simply a place to hang out and chat with friends and hopefully have a good time, talking about a variety of subjects including RuneScape-related ones. There are a lot of knowledgeable "regulars" who may be able to assist you or offer advice with skilling, monster hunting, PVP, Dungeoneering, or any-and-all things RuneScape!

This is not a Tip.It/Tip.It Forum endorsed Friend Chat (referred to as 'FC'). Please do not advertise this as the "official" Tip.It FC.

Thanks to Lightning, ForsakenMage, and Shyla.


A - General

• All official RuneScape rules apply. Please do not come into the FC expecting immunity from these rules. You may be reported if you are found breaking them.
  
• Please be respectful of everyone in the FC. If you have any issues with another user or Chat Moderator, utilize the PM system to discuss it with them, not the FC, or add the user to your Ignore List. "Flame-baiting" (saying something with the sole intention of provoking someone else into arguing with you) is just as bad as trolling.
  
• Please use English when talking in the FC. Please use the Private Messaging (referred to as 'PM') system if you wish to speak in another language. Saying offensive things in another language does not make it acceptable.
  
• Please be respectful of other Friend and Clan Chats, especially those within the Tip.It/Tip.It Forum community. Any advertising and recruitment for other Friend and Clan chats should be done via the PM system.
  
• Openly admitting to cheating/using botting programs, encouraging others to cheat, or explaining how to cheat, will result in you being kicked or banned from the FC.

B - Offensive Language and Controversial Topics

• Seriously offensive language is not allowed in the FC, despite the Profanity Filter update of 09-FEB-2011. While some users may have elected to turn their Profanity Filter Off, this does not mean that it is a "free-for-all" in the FC.
  
• Vulgar and derogatory words, phrases or comments about someone’s race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation or religious beliefs will result in you being kicked or banned from the FC. You may be kicked without an initial warning ("insta-kick") by a Chat Moderator.
  
• "Censor evasion" (intentionally misspelling words to circumvent the Profanity Filter) is not allowed and may result in you being kicked from the FC.
  
• Discussions of drug use (even if it is legal in your country) are not tolerated and may result in you being kicked from the FC. Discussions of alcohol consumption should be kept to a minimum.
  
• Keep controversial topics to a minimum. Religious or sexual discussions will not be tolerated. Debates are allowed so long as they remain friendly. Remember, it is okay to challenge ideas and opinions, as long as you do not insult the people who hold them. You may be asked to tone it down or change topics if things start to get too heated.

C - Spam and Chat Disruption

• Please keep swearing to a minimum as using it in excess may be considered disruptive.
  
• ASCII art is allowed only in moderation, up to the discretion of the Chat Moderators in the FC at the time only. Quick Chat is allowed so long as it does not create excess spam; you may be asked to tone down the Quick Chat if it distracts from the flow of the chat.
  
• If you are offering or looking for Effigy assists, or are Buying/Selling an item, please keep your requests to a minimum. If no one responds the first or second time, please use the appropriate channels (other chats or the Grand Exchange.)

D - RuneScape Usernames, Parodies and Impersonation

• Users with offensive RuneScape usernames (referred to as 'RSN') will be kicked and may be banned from the FC.
  
  
  
  
  

  For the purposes of these rules:

  • "Parody" is paying homage to another user, having fun with a friend, joking around, etc.
    
  • "Impersonating" is lying about, acting like, or pretending to be someone you are not.
• Please be respectful when changing your RSN to parody another user or Chat Moderator. If your intention is to troll or harass the person you are parodying, you may be kicked or banned from the FC. If you are offended by someone parodying your name, please add them to your Ignore List.
  
• Impersonating another user, especially Chat Moderators, may result in you getting kicked or banned from the FC.
  
• Changing your RSN to parody/impersonate that of another user who is already banned from the FC may result in you getting kicked or banned from the FC.

Chat Moderator Ranking

• All Chat Moderators are assigned one of the following ranks:
  
  
  
  

  Chat Owner (Key)
  General (Gold Star)
  Captain (Silver Star)
  Lieutenant (Bronze Star)
  

• Chat Moderators have the ability to kick any user with a lower rank than theirs.
  
• Chat Moderators are selected by the Chat Owner but generally involve input from all other moderators.
  
• If you have any issues with a Chat Moderator, do not discuss it openly in the FC. Please PM me in-game or on the Tip.It Forums.
  
  • RuneScape Name: Serpent Eye
    
  • Tip.It Forum Name: Serpent Eye

Kicks, Bans and Screenshots

• Chat Moderators will issue Warnings before kicking a user from the FC. They may leave it open-ended, or address it to a specific person by name. If another user is Warned for breaking a rule, or is asked to change topics, it is safe to assume that it applies to everyone in the chat (ie, if a user is told to stop talking about a certain subject, that doesn't mean you should start talking about it instead.)
  
• When a Chat Moderator asks to "drop it" or says to "stop" these should be taken as if they were Warnings. They may not always literally say "You have been Warned."
  
• Kicks from the FC last for a period of one (1) hour. Your kick may be "refreshed" to extend it for an additional hour each time if necessary.
  
• Depending on the severity of your actions or rule-breaking, you may be Temporarily or Permanently banned from the FC. The decision to ban a user from the FC is up to the Chat Owner but involves input from all other moderators.
  
• Temporary bans will last for a period of 1- to 2-weeks. During this period, all of your accounts will be considered banned. If you join the FC on an alternate account, you may be kicked from the FC.
  
  
  
  

  The ONLY time it would be appropriate to use an alternate account is if you have been banned for having an offensive RSN; if this is the case, you are more than welcome to use an alternative account with an appropriate RSN, until you are able to change the offensive name of your other account.

• Permanent bans may be appealed by PM to the Chat Owner only. You will obviously not be able to PM me in-game, so please PM me on the Tip.It Forums: Serpent Eye. Please note that when deciding to lift a ban, I will be listening to input from all chat moderators, and as such, your appeal may be shared with them. If you are permanently banned, you will always be kicked if you are found to be using an alternate account.
  
• Another user may not appeal your ban on your behalf.
  
• If you feel you have been wrongfully kicked from the FC, or feel that you are repeatedly kicked for no reason, please PM me in-game or on these forums. It is especially helpful if you can provide screenshots of you being kicked from the FC, as well as screenshots of the prior discussion in the FC. I understand that not everyone has the ability to take/edit/upload screenshots, and I also understand that even if you have the ability to, you may not be prepared to take screenshots at the time it happens. For these reasons, screenshots are not required, but will help expedite the process.

The purpose of these rules is to help maintain a safe, fun and enjoyable environment for ALL users in the FC.

If you have any questions or concerns about these rules, or about the Friend Chat in general, please don't hesitate to PM me in-game or on these forums.
