Where Can I Read Rules On Punishment Osrs From Jagex?

I still get a buzz from poking around official rule pages whenever something weird pops up in 'Old School RuneScape' — it's the fastest way to cut through forum myths. If you want the concrete Jagex rules and what punishments look like, start at the official pages: head to the 'Rules of RuneScape' section on the RuneScape/Jagex sites (you can find it via The Help/Support menu on either runescape.com or oldschool.runescape.com). Those pages list prohibited behaviours — things like botting, real-world trading, harassment, scamming, account sharing, and exploiting bugs — and they also outline how Jagex treats breaches, from warnings and mutes up to temporary or permanent account bans.

Beyond that central rules page I always check the Support articles on Jagex’s site for specifics like how punishments are applied and how to appeal. There’s a support area for account action and bans where they explain the appeals process and what information you can expect to receive. And don’t forget the in-game reporting tool: for a quick report you can use the Report Player option, and for formal follow-up you file a ticket through Support. Personally I trust the official pages far more than reddit threads — they’re the source of truth, and reading them saved me a mistaken panic once when a friend thought they’d been permabanned for a temporary mute. Bottom line: go straight to the 'Rules of RuneScape' and the support/appeals sections on the Jagex sites, read the examples of punishable conduct, and keep a calm head — the official explanations are clearer than the rumor mill, honestly one of the best moves I made when I first got serious about the game.

When I want the nitty-gritty on punishments from Jagex, I skip fan summaries and go to the official documentation — specifically the 'Rules of RuneScape' and the related support pages. Those resources break down not only what gets you in trouble (botting, macroing, item trading for real-life money, harassment, exploiting glitches, etc.) but also the range of disciplinary steps they take: warnings, temporary mutes or bans, permanent bans, and (in some cases) rollbacks or removal of ill-gotten items. I like to cross-reference the rules page with the 'terms and conditions' so I understand both the behavioural rules and the contractual side of account enforcement.

If you’re worried about a specific incident, the Support site has articles about how to appeal a ban and which evidence is relevant. The in-game Report Player tool is for immediate complaints, while formal appeals or ban questions go through the Jagex Support ticket system. From my own experience reading through these pages a few times over the years, the punishment language can seem strict but it’s usually thorough — they try to be transparent about what triggers each level of action, and knowing where to look really helps calm the nerves if something happens to your account. I usually bookmark the pages so I can pull them up fast when debates start in chat or clan forums.

If you want a quick, no-nonsense route: read the official 'Rules of RuneScape' on Jagex’s site (accessible from runescape.com or oldschool.runescape.com), then check the Support/Help articles about bans and appeals. The rules list prohibited behaviour — like botting, real-world trading, harassment, and exploiting — and the support pages explain the likely consequences: warnings, mutes, temporary or permanent bans, and sometimes rollbacks or removal of items. Use the in-game Report Player function for immediate reports, and file a Support ticket for appeals or detailed disputes.

I’ve found that checking these official pages clears up most misconceptions you hear in chats and forums. They won’t always spell out every nuance of a specific case, but they tell you where you stand and how to proceed if you think a mistake was made. For me, knowing the process ahead of time makes the whole thing less stressful and a lot easier to deal with.
