Excessive Profanity
At DreamScape, users are given the freedom of speech. However, that freedom is not unrestricted. As DreamScape 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.

Advertising Other Servers
DreamScape does not, in any way shape or form, tolerate advertising other RuneScape servers. As this is a Zero-Tolerance-Rule, those caught advertising will be severely punished in the form of a permanent host-mute. Appeals for being punished for breaking this rule are not accepted and will be denied by default.

Staff Impersonation
On the basis of principle, impersonating a member of the DreamScape Staff Team is prohibited. 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 placed in jail for 24 to 48 hours; those caught impersonating with malevolent intentions or with the goal of scamming other users will be permanently banned from the DreamScape server. If severe enough, impersonators may also be host-banned.

Inappropriate Usernames
A user's username may not contain profanities, racist or derogatory terms, sexual nuances, or anything else that may be deemed inappropriate. If a player is found to have an offensive username, a DreamScape Staff Member will be prompted to have the username in question banned. Unless the account name was purposely made offensive to harass other members of the server, items pertaining to the account may be transferred to a new, appropriately named account. Please note that skills or achievements may not be transferred.

Cyber-Bullying, Insults, Flaming, Trolling
DreamScape takes the insulting, trolling, harassment and bullying of its members very seriously. A member found to be actively and intentionally breaking this rule will be punished in the form of a mute. The punishment's duration will be left to the discretion of the Staff Member handling the situation, though, punishments will usually not exceed three days. If the player found to be breaking this rule persists in his/her efforts to make the game unpleasant for his/her fellow players, a temporary host-mute may be invoked.

Racism, Nazism, Sexism, or any other Prejudice
DreamScape does not tolerate its players being prejudiced toward any sex, race or belief. Players found breaking this rule will be severely punished in the form of a temporary host-mute. Repeat offenders may have their ability to speak permanently revoked or be host-banned from DreamScape.

No Discussion of illegal, or otherwise profane Topics
DreamScape does not harbor criminals and will not tolerate the discussion of illegal activities; overly profane topics are also not welcome. The consequence for breaking this rule is a temporary mute that may be made permanent. If serious enough, players may be reported to the proper authorities.
Exception: Torrents

Gibberish/Spamming, Chat-Flooding
Though considered to be a minor offense, players found spamming or flooding the chat will be warned not to do so moving forward. If this instruction is ignored, a temporary mute will follow. The mute's duration is left to the Staff Member handling the situation in question, though, punishments will normally not exceed 36 hours. If a player decides to use an autotyper, he/she is to set the delay between messages to at least 5 seconds.

Disrespecting Members of Staff and/or their Decisions
DreamScape does not tolerate its Staff Members or their decisions being disrespected. If a player disagrees with the choices made or punishments given by a Staff Member, that player is to attempt to reason with the Staff Member involved. If the disagreement persists, an Administrator is to be contacted who will have final say on the situation. If the Staff Member's actions are found to be unjust, they will be corrected.

Those caught breaking this rule after their initial punishment may receive permanent bans.

Evading Punishments
Players who have received host-bans or host-mutes and decide to evade their punishment will simply be given the punishment once more and have their initial punishment's duration increased.
