Q&A - Player Support Answers

Playerx19 asks:
Firstly, I would like to know if it is OK for clans to advertise their clan sites to their clan members. One of the game rules states that: 'You are not allowed to actively advertise in any of our games or forums. This includes advertising any website or product, and no web addresses are allowed.' Does this apply to clansites though, because the clansite is a 'fan' site, and it boosts the RuneScape community. Most clans do it anyway, and the site is told to clan members ONLY.
This is quite a difficult area, as we know that the rules on website advertising are restrictive to clan sites. However, let me level with you on the dilemma we face here. Many nefarious sites that try to steal passwords from players using keylogger software masquerade as cheat sites, help sites or, indeed, clan sites. Determining and then constantly monitoring clan sites to ensure their safety isn't something that we can do, unfortunately, so we've had to maintain a blanket approach to advertising such clan sites. Mind you, though, if it's a clan worth its salt, then it wouldn't just let anyone in, so wouldn't be advertised to the world anyway. So, if a fellow clan member wants to check out your clan site and you tell them in private chat, I can't see that being a big issue, as it's not advertising the site.

Basically he said..
Those clans that mass recruit in RuneScape are worthless or just shitty.

The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.
