If you have yet to speak with a recruiter, request to set up a meeting for the game you currently play, by sending us mail at: staff@NationalGuardOfRunescape.com.

The purpose of a "community," such as that at NGoR, is somewhat similar, yet everything is optional by the player, and you may come and go as you please. We strive to gather all players of RuneScape who wish to work together to better learn all aspects of the game which interest them. Doing so, while maintaining co-operation, peace, fun, and insuring that all members feel accepted and comfortable.

This includes upholding the honor and respect of the rules, report those who wish to ruin the game, to maintain a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone, the way the game was meant to be.

Treat the other players of RuneScape with respect (when possible). Causing disagreements, cursing, personal threats, and other related actions will get a member banned from the group. Some exceptions may occur, (considering that everyone has a bad day every now and then). First offenses will result in a verbal warning and suspension from use of the forums for up to 7 days. After which, the repetitive behavior will get that member banned.

Read the official rules (by clicking here) enforced while you are in Runescape. All of those rules are strongly enforced by Jagex. And the majority of them are enforced by NGoR.

The 2 current ways to stay as Rank Leader REQUIRE you to be not only RS active BUT also Forum active unless you do the following:

If you need to notify NG Staff of changes to your time spent in RS or to changes in forum activity while you are on any Instant Messenger Program, Email, or on RS, let us know through one of these methods ASAP*. Tell us how long you are planning to be away, and when you expect to return. If you can not reach us thru the before mentioned methods you can also post in the On Leave/Return (Retiring/Returning Veteran) section. If you can not do any of this because you have no internet you may also have a friend send the email or post for you as long as he doesn't break any rules while doing such. Once your post has been put in the On Leave/Return (Retiring/Returning Veteran) your rank may not be taken you till the time as such posted with a Grace period of 12 Hours, if something comes up.

*Any Admin or Mod who receives such a message MUST post for them ASAP in the On Leave/Return (Retiring/Returning Veteran) section if you can not pass it onto another Admin or Mod

To be considered RS active, you can meet this requirement in 1 of 4 ways:
1) Talk to a Admin or Mod who can later vouch for you activeness and post picture proof
2) Go onto RS High Scores and screen shot your current levels/experience for all skills, and post it in your status update**
3) Host any kind of an event, and be able to submit pictures of event
4) Be a Drop Aid for a Drop Party (Only counts for that month alone)

**For this method you must gain at least 200k exp a month which works out to 6,666 experience a day for a 30 day month 6,451 experience a day for a 31 day month


To be considered Forum active, there are 1 of 2 options:

One way is to have your "Last Activity" be within 15 days of your local time of last activity, for example:

User A posts a Status Update on the first day of a month (user's local time). User A hasn't posted, saying s/he will be away, and failed to use a method to contact a forum Admin or Mod, and their "Last Activity" falls outside of 15 days of there local time, they will be considered inactive.***

***Exception for being limited to not posting for a set time period, is not counted against this.

Another option for proving forum active, is to make at least 5 posts in a 7 day period (which begins at 12 AM Eastern Time, and ends at 12 AM Eastern Time on the following Monday), that are not posted in any of the below-mentioned sections, and do not break ANY Rules.****

****The 7 Day period covers from one Monday to the next; with a 2 hour grace period before/after the set timeframe.

Subsections:
Status Updates

Sections:
World News
Enlistment Barracks (Join/Rank/Retire)
Roll Call (Introduction)
Clan Database
Chat Division
Forum Division
Staff Training
Donations
Price Guide & Item Database

The reason you can't post in these sections and have it count towards the 5 posts every 7 days, is due to the fact that many of them show RS activity in some way, or are too easy to meet requirement.

 If problems arise between two or more members, all evidence, along with the member's report, will be relocated to the NGoR Staff's Abuse Records section. Incidents will be dealt with, under the current rules system of NGoR, by the Forum Administrators.

 After a written warning of the rule violation, and a suspension have been issued, the user is subject to banishment from our community. These users are suggested not to be in contact with fellow rule-abiding members, due to the nature of their actions against humanity. There is no law which states a member may not have contact with a banned user. Yet, all appeals for un-ban MUST be made by the banned user in question, and only through our Ban Appeal section.

 Once 6 months (180 days) have passed, a filed abuse report is no longer used as evidence. This does not excuse users whom have previously been banned. Yet, it does give an incentive to those users whom are on good behavior, with the hopes to have his/her record completely cleared of all offenses.

 When a player donates to the community, their efforts are acknowledged, and publicly listed. The rating system is described here.

 If you have not been listed, donate to one of the "secure collectors" (review list of collectors). If you have donated, and have yet to see your name listed on our Donation Records, notify the NG Staff.

 NG members may hosts periodic Drop Parties, where a single player, or group of players, drop items. After 30 seconds, these items appear to the other players of the game.

 These events are to add fun for all players. There are no rules, other than the General Rules laid down for all of the NG.

 NG members may hosts events weekly, called Group Skilling. These events are for the purpose of allowing members to train a non-combat skill, and meet new and old friends. When such events occur, players have the opportunity to work on a higher skill level, without the dullness of solo skilling. Players can also gain hand-on tips of better ways to train their skills, from the players whom work on it daily.

 NG members may hosts events weekly, called Group Hunts. These events are for the purpose of granting protection to all NG and allied members involved. If someone PK (kills) another teammate during one of these events, they may be BANNED from NG, if proven guilty.
