With the recent Tools for Games update, our clan chat mods thought that a new rule limiting their usage in our clan chat would be necessary. Please keep in mind you may recruit people for a game in our clan chat - just don't over advertise it.

What if we accidentally clicked it?

Good addition, we're moving closer and closer to a dictatorship

There is a difference between doing it once and doing it over and over.

Unnecessary. Obviously abusing them falls under general spam. Why clutter the rules up?

No one really realized they were considered spam though and most were still spamming it. We're just asking all Slammers to keep it down with this type of spam.


If it's only done once, it will probably just be ignored, but continually doing it will be when we probably either warn or kick.

Good to make things clear anyway. Gotta keep order in the court chat.

What do you mean? I'm lost.

It's for the new update this week: http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=2021

thank god i was hoping this would happen no more"my skullball (yes/no) yes!" spam woot

It's a new update; obviously people are going to be messing about trying them out with their friends in popular chats. Give it a week and you'll hardly see any at which point that extra rule just gets in the way and is pointless. People don't need everything spelled out for them; use common sense. SPAMMING the chat with these messages is so obviously SPAM so falls under the SPAM rule; I don't understand who could be confused by that. It's just short-term playing with new content.

If I were doing this I'd just ask clan chat mods to remind people to be sensible with it and be more lenient for the next week or two. Just seems unnecessary.

~ Common sense is not that common

I'd happen to agree with this fine sir.
It's something that is gonna die out soon, like the zezima jokes.

I think this rule should be temporary because it will settle down in a week or two at most.

The same was said about quick chat and there is still qc spam.

good to hear
getting tired of ppl playin around with those worthless toys tools

I don't see a problem with being lenient for the next two weeks for people to get used to it, however it is better that we don't have any of these "martyr" threads of people saying it doesn't say anywhere in the rules that it isn't allowed.

Oh, is this that skullball thing?

Now we're a bunch of dictator arseholes, can we remove the rule about not lying when Sal was here or not?

Why not just right click ignore. If the person is flooding the clan chat a mod would naturally kick them.

What if you epicly lagged and you kept pressing that message?

From the day this came out, I saw people spamming the messages. So happy it's kickable when spammed.

Lol
The first time someone did that in chat, i had no idea what was happening.

This dictatorship we're living in here is quite awesome imo.

Hey....this is my first post and i havve no idea where else to put it =-(. Just wanted to say that this is the BEST RUNESCAPE SITE THERE IS!!! I needed some help on a quest the other day and this site popped up all over google. Well just wanted to say thow much I appreciated this site.

DIP

people still tell zezima jokes dood.

A good addition to the CC rules.

Yeah got to keep the impression we are communist democratic now don't we.

To be exact from the moment it was released it was against the rules, under spamming. You can use it as long as you don't spam with it, I don't see what everyone's making a big fuss about.

Because a lot of people doing it insisted they weren't spamming? Because they kept doing it over and over even when politely asked by multiple chat participants to stop?

And you think those people read the rules?

The point is not whether they read the rules but whether moderators abide by the rules. By adding this rule, people have no excuse instead of having grounds to raise a fuss every time. I don't see what's so bad about it.

If that was true, we wouldn't need rules at all.

But this is a Runescape clan chat, not a nation?

I'm not totally against this new rule, I just think its a little obvious not to spam (seing as its a Runescape rule) - wether your using normal chat, quick chat, or whatever.

What's the difference between a nation and a clan chat, apart from numbers (exception: Vatican City) and territory (exception: Sealand)?

Jagex have stated that everything said in a clan chat has the exact same rules as talking in public or private chat. As spamming is against Jagex rules, isn't it obvious that spamming in any shape or form in Sal's Clanchat is against the rules ? Without a set of local rules for Sal's cc only, it would still manage to cope easily as there are global rules set by Jagex for everything Runescape-wise. (Although I am in no way suggesting we remove the rules - I agree certain clan chats have certain rules - is re-stating the rules set by Jagex (spamming) needed? )

To answer your question (which I think I havn't done )

If sal's didn't have its own set of rules - People would simply follow the Jagex stated rules
If a nation didn't have its own rules - I'd be a mass murderer.

We've had someone complain that trolling isn't listed in the topic of Clan Chat Rules even though we ban for it .

Do you find that

Is somehow useful in the chat?
It's not a big deal, plus all you have to do to spam away the messages freely is to just use it in another chat. I hardly even see people in Sal's chat playing the games while in our chat.

Your seriousness is giving me a headache...

You guys need to stop arguing over a child's game and focus on much larger issues such as the economy crisis in America! Don't you all realize that in our nation, people play games every day without a care in the world while Obama is out there ruining our country?!

We're children, and despite what encouraging TV shows will tell you, we can't change anything. I'm sure this new rule won't destroy America. If it does, I guess we're getting shut down.

Wake me up when you manage to start a movement to change the country and it is becoming successful...

Oh wait...

Don't nock your confidence, individuals can achieve and change alot in their lifespan. Look at the great scientists, inventors, teachers, political people. Where you may think it's just a childs game the Internet helps us learn by experimenting and interacting with others.

I love how quickly conversations like this can change.
Anyways, like Slei said, I'll quit the game and join Dr. Pepper if I'm 100% sure you're actually going to change this country.

And yes Jess, but I just don't think any of us have that kind of power right now. I know we have some Sal's members in the armed forces but I just don't believe that's going to change anything. If war changed the world, we'd have been a perfect society thousands of years ago.

If any Sal's member is striving to be the next Dr. Martin Luther King, I stand corrected.

Confidence? No, I'm being realistic. As far as I can tell the USA is going to become like the USSR if it keeps going in the current direction.

What if you are muted?

You still aren't allowed to spam.

Then wouldn't you communicate via Quickchat? I don't see how rolling a die or anything like that would be considered constructive.

Erm. You should re-read the first post. We aren't disallowing quick chat; we're disallowing spamming with the Tools for Games chat.

I know EXACTLY who was spamming Tools For Games.

...And I'm sorry.

Fini, I can't believe I'm saying this, but this actually makes me <3 you

oh sorry i accidentally clicked show results to clan 47 times in a row dont ban me

I don't get it why some people are whining over this rule. I see this rule as completely neccesary, period.

It might be annoying to have to listen to a whole new clan chat rule, but the simple fact is, if people complain when they're punished and claim loopholes, the best reply is to remove the loopholes. This is why there are innumerable laws against different kinds of fraud, instead of just pulling out the ol' nugget, "Thou shall not steal" every time.
