Rules of Conduct
From the Dark RuneScape Wiki - follow the rules, or else!
The Rules of Conduct are the rules established by JaGeX a player must abide by while playing RuneScape, using the official RuneScape forums, and visiting the RuneScape website. A short summary of each of the rules (and violations of these rules) are as follows:

[edit] Rule 1

Rule 1 prohibits offensive, racist, and obscene remarks. These remarks are filtered by the chat filter, and players often try to bypass the filter, which is considered a worse offense by Jagex. Spamming is also considered a violation of Rule 1, as it makes communication between players more difficult. It also prohibits the advertisement of girlfriends or boyfriends.
