A Runescape and OSRS Social Hub for Queer Adults of All Kinds!

Community Rules

*All Runescape Rules Apply

1. Be Respectful to Everyone

No name-calling, talking down to, mocking, nor belittling people. This includes people you dislike and people who may have broken the rules. Even if someone has broken the rules or done something which you find offensive or deserving of ridicule, if it has not been addressed by a mod, remain respectful in chat and contact a Moderator or Admin with your complaint and we will address the offense.

2. No Discrimination of Any Kind

This space is for everyone. We do not tolerate discrimination based on race, sexuality, gender, class, ability levels, health, or anything else. If you're told that something you said was discriminatory, and you're confused about how, you can ask for an explanation, but do not start an argument about it. If the situation came about from genuine ignorance, and everything is smoothed over between conversation participants, it will not be considered an infraction. If there is no apparent understanding or remorse by the offending party, it may be considered an infraction. If you feel the accusation leveled at you was unfair, you may speak with a moderator about the situation for guidance and will be told if your conduct is being considered offensive. If so, you'll be given another chance at apologizing to the person offended.

3. You Must Be 18+

We do not allow minors in this server for the material safety of said minors and for the legal liability of the adults present.

4. No Pornographic Imagery or Sexually Charged Interaction

  • This server is not a place for getting off.
  • Conversations that may be considered NSFW are only allowed in the context of discussing sexuality or social activity and cannot be explicit.
  • Explicit discussion may be permitted if talking candidly about a sex-based surgery or similar, but should be spoiler tagged with a content warning.
  • NSFW images are only allowed in the contexts of art, spoiler-tagged photos of top-surgery with content warning, or the occasional topless selfie, without sexual undertones. For example, a photo of someone posing casually on a mountain with no shirt because they've been hiking is not the same as a horny mirror selfie while flexing. Use your best judgement; if you're not sure, ask or don't post it.

5. No Begging or Trading, Barring Exceptions

This is not a trading server, it's a social server for chatting and connecting. We do not allow trading or begging in order to prevent scamming or taking advantage of the generosity of community members. The only exceptions are:

  • Asking for help with buying cheap/high-volume goods past the GE buy limit
  • 1-to-1 trading/exchanging of skilling outfit or tuska mask pieces - no gp involved
  • Lending animals for POF/Root

6. Show Consideration When Posting Something Sensitive

When discussing topics such as discrimination, injury, assault, trauma, or politics that overlap these topics, messages with related, potentially triggering details must be enclosed in a spoiler warning.

Here are some examples of things that need to have spoiler tags on them:

  • Photos that center injuries, including scratches and bruises
  • Descriptions of physical abuse, or detailed recounting of emotional abuse
  • Any messages in a discussion of sexual assault which describe or directly reference described actions
  • Recounting events of discrimination that were violent or especially terrifying
  • Slurs
  • News or updates on disturbing world events

||A spoiler warning is created by typing between two pairs of vertical lines. Users can click the spoiler warning to reveal the message.||

In Discord, this will cover the text in a grey box, which is removed when clicked, revealing the text underneath.

When applying your spoiler tags, do so in a way that gives insight into the contents being covered so that readers can make an informed choice when choosing to view them. Do not black out an entire message with no explanation for what is hidden, as no one will know who is being shielded from what. For example:

>Coming out to my parents ended pretty poorly. They ||-insert description of violence or discrimination here-||

Any discussion of the aforementioned topics belong in #serious, #neurodivergence, or #gender-and-sexuality, depending on their subject and relevance.

The following are less obvious topics which must be posted with care:

  • Art of any sensitive topics may go in #art but must have a specific content warning and a spoiler tag on the image
  • Food goes in #food
  • Photos of bugs must have a specific content warning and spoiler tag on the image
  • Anything related to politics, war, political violence, law changes, etc. must go in #serious

7. No Moral Grandstanding

This is a community space for queer people who play Runescape, not an individual's pulpit for morality policing. People, even community-wide, disapproving of someone's actions is fine. If it's a matter of discussion, they can even state their disapproval concisely. Individuals outspokenly berating or confronting people about the minutia of their day-to-day moral decisions, however, is not allowed. Some examples of actions which should not invite confrontation, assuming the person is not breaking any rules while doing them:

  • Having a lot of sex with different people, or sex of a certain type
  • Drinking, smoking, or doing drugs
  • Gambling
  • Purchasing things from controversial companies
  • Using/playing controversial websites, apps, or games
  • Watching controversial content creators
  • Using AI

If you have good reason to believe they may not know some kind of pertinent information, such as something shitty that a content creator/company did, or the negative impacts of GenAI usage, you may ask if they know/inform them. If they already know and/or don't care, just disengage. Their decisions will speak for themselves and it is not your job to change their mind. Likewise, if they didn't know and agree with your stance, do not continue to have a conversation of solidarity wherein you indirectly belittle other people for continuing to engage with that thing. Others in the community may still engage with it and judgemental conversation will not win them over, it will make them uncomfortable and upset. Good faith conversations with explanations for why you feel a certain way are fine, even if you feel strongly, but you need to read the room. The difference is in being informative versus judgemental.
