Users will receive one infraction for the following
Spamming: (in general):
Posting short, unhelpful comments (such as "cool", "nice acc," etc). This also includes "Free Bumps" for another user's thread.
Flooding a forum with replies for the sole purpose of increasing post count. This may also be a permanent forumban in certain forums, especially if deliberate.
Posting comments with little to no relevance to the topic
Excessive bumping**: Posting more than one bump in a single thread in one day. Bumping is defined as a post whose sole purpose is to bring your thread to the top of the forum. This includes posts such as, "I'm back online again," replying "Thanks", "Bump," and so on. You may respond to all questions and feedback from customers; however, please avoid double posting. These rules apply per thread, so a business with employees must consider of all their posts in line with the bumping rule. If you were the last poster, edit your comment to address any other concerns you see. Deleting a previous bump and posting a new one without waiting a day is also against the rules.
Accusing Someone of Scamming: without proof (text logs DO NOT COUNT AS PROOF)
Begging: asking for free RS items, RS accounts (etc) or asking for a rank or modship on Sythe.org
Thread Hijacking: Offering your services/Sales on the thread of someone else's services or sales
Infraction Complaints: Making a topic asking about one’s infraction, whining, asking for infraction removal, etc... (you may politely question your infraction by PMing the issuing moderator)
Trying to Sell Something that is Free: for example, Sythe’s old autos or some free bot. However, selling the method of how to acquire these items is permitted in the relevant forum.
Trading Auth Codes: Auth codes from RSBots.net, autofighter and similar

Referrals: posting referral links for sites, surveys, other games, etc. This includes sites such as Share-cash.
Trolling: harassing other members (malicious harassment of other members or intentional misleading of staff may result in a perm ban - "trolling" is not an acceptable excuse)
Grave Digging: This is self explanatory. If a thread hasn't had a post in several weeks or months. Don't post on it. (Exception: Spam Forum and some select threads. Use best discretion when posting.)
Requiring Vouches: You may not promise/require a vouch in the market. Vouches are given when the user you're dealing with feels you deserve a vouch, and no one is obligated to vouch under any circumstances.
