Rules & Conduct

Rules

Play fairly, treat others with respect, and use common sense. These rules protect the community and everyone's time invested in the game.

Welcome

Our goal is to provide a fair, enjoyable, and respectful Old School RuneScape experience for every player. These rules exist to protect the integrity of the game, the community, and the time invested by everyone who plays.

By creating an account and logging into BoomPS, you agree to follow these rules at all times. Failure to comply may result in warnings, temporary restrictions, or permanent removal from the server depending on the severity and frequency of the offence.

While every effort is made to apply punishments consistently, staff reserve the right to adjust punishments where circumstances require.

Our Punishment System

BoomPS primarily follows a progressive discipline system. Minor offences are normally dealt with through warnings before stronger action is taken. Repeated offences demonstrate a disregard for the rules and will result in increasingly severe punishments.

1

Stage 1 โ€“ Verbal Warning

A moderator will explain which rule has been broken and ask you to stop.

This warning is informal and intended to educate players.

2

Stage 2 โ€“ Official Warning

An official warning is recorded against your account.

Future punishments will consider any previous warnings.

3

Stage 3 โ€“ Temporary Restriction

Depending on the offence, staff may issue:

  • Temporary mute
  • Temporary jail
  • Temporary account suspension

The duration depends on the severity of the offence.

4

Stage 4 โ€“ Temporary Ban

Players who continue to ignore the rules may receive temporary bans ranging from 1 day to 30 days.

5

Stage 5 โ€“ Permanent Ban

Accounts may be permanently banned for:

  • Repeated rule violations
  • Serious misconduct
  • Any offence considered damaging to the integrity of BoomPS
Immediate Permanent Punishments

Some offences are considered so serious that they may skip every warning stage. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Macroing or botting
  • Exploiting bugs for personal gain
  • Duplication exploits
  • Real-world trading

  • Staff impersonation

Rule 14Encouraging Rule Breaking

Encouraging, assisting, or organising rule breaking is treated as participating in the offence.

Examples include:

  • Teaching players how to exploit bugs
  • Lending macro software
  • Helping with scams
  • Assisting ban evasion

Punishments generally match the offence being assisted.

Appeals

Every player has the right to appeal a punishment. Appeals should:

  • Remain respectful.
  • Include relevant evidence.
  • Explain why the punishment should be reviewed.

Submitting multiple appeals for the same punishment may result in the appeal being closed without review.

Staff Discretion

Not every situation can be covered by written rules. Staff may issue punishments outside the standard progression where:

  • The offence is particularly severe.
  • Multiple rules have been broken.
  • The player has an extensive disciplinary history.
  • The integrity of the server is at risk.

Rule Updates

BoomPS reserves the right to modify these rules at any time.

Players are responsible for remaining familiar with the current version of the rules. Continued use of BoomPS constitutes acceptance of any future changes.

Final Note

These rules exist to protect the community โ€” not to limit legitimate gameplay.

Use common sense, treat others with respect, and play fairly. If you are ever unsure whether something is allowed, ask a member of staff before doing it.
