First of all, welcome to FlipChat1! If you don’t already know, we are the godwars, player-owned ports armour, and barrows kiteshield friends
chat. If you haven’t read the starters guide, please take a look here! Like everywhere else, it‘s important to stick to rules.
Since rules can change from time to time, we want you to check them regularly to always be up to date. By checking them
regularly, we can keep the friendly and helpful environment we’ve established in the channel!

Everyone using the channel has rules to follow, there are no exceptions made for anyone. If any issues should arise, we will
deal with them as effectively as possible. It should be known that we have a list of users in which gets updated regularly from reports.
These users are kick-on-sight (KOS) and will not be allowed to enter the channel for extended periods of time and will be removed
as soon as a rank see’s them online.

Below you’ll find a copy of the rules - there are a lot, however, they’re in place for a reason! If you have any questions, create a
forum thread here or send a private message to a FlipChat1 kick rank in-game. Alternatively, you can contact us on our
Facebook page or our Twitter account "@FlipChat1".

        The use of profanity in FlipChat1 can lead to a kick or a ban in serious/repeated cases. We do not allow profanity as we aim to

        create a friendly and helpful environment and profanity will cause the opposite to that!

        By commenting on kicks by a rank, this just causes spam in the friends chat. This will result in you being kicked from the channel,

        or in repeated cases, banned for a period of time. This is particularly unwanted when someone is price checking. If you want

        to know why someone was kicked, wait until the rank has stated a reason, but do not ask! The example below is what you shouldn’t

        do.

                Example:

                   Kick rank: [Attempting to kick/ban user from this channel.]

                   Kick rank: F2p

                   User 001: Why no f2p?

        Complaining that there are no price checkers isn’t useful to anyone. It will spam up the channel and create unnecessary

        off-topic - even though it is highly likely you’ve just missed one, or the previous margins update wasn’t that long ago.

        This will result in you being kicked from the channel, or in repeated cases, banned for a period of time. Remember, anyone

        can price check, so if you want to learn - take a look at this guide to learn how!

        By commenting on margins, such as the amount of profit they will bring (or may not bring), or they haven’t been updated

        recently. This causes spam in the friends chat which will not help us. This will result in you being kicked from the channel.

                Example:

                   User 1: Acp?

        We do not allow anyone to disrespect others in our chat. This can lead to you being kicked, or, depending on the severity

        - permanently banned. This can include:

                        If a rank requests that you do something, follow their instructions. They have been promoted to that rank

                        for a reason, having invested a lot of time into the channel, so, they know what they’re doing!

                        Please note: If you have an issue with how something has been handled, please screenshot this incident
                        and make a report on the forums within this section: Complaints

                    Respect to price checkers:

                         Do not argue or talk back to a price checker. Also, do not give out prices if someone else is already calling

                         out margins. Price checkers have the ultimate say on what the current margins are due to them holding the

                         most recent prices.

        Spamming is not allowed in FlipChat1. This can make it difficult to run a friends chat, give reports and give margins. The

        following examples count as spam:

                            Writing random letters (onweonewokcneokn)

                            Advertising unlegitimate channels

                            Excessive symbol use (@@@@@@@@@@@)

                            Asking for the same PC request multiple times (in a short period of time)

        We do not accept players who host, advertise or participate in gambling games or money double money. These players

        will be kicked and directly reported to Jagex. If you are found to be frequently abusing the channel for this reason, you will

        be permanently banned.

        Luring is the attempt of convincing another player into a dangerous zone, or into dropping items and teleporting away from

        the lurer in order for their own personal gain. Players that commit this act will be kicked from the channel and directly

        reported to Jagex. If the player(s) continue to abuse the channel for this reason, they will be permanently banned from FlipChat1.

        Stealing margins relates to you providing another flipping-related channel with our prices, or, taking prices from another channel

        and sharing them within our chat. If someone needs our prices, they can simply join the channel in order to get the margins they

        require.

        Spamming other channels is something we do not allow. If we get informed about a user from that is frequently in our channel that

        is spamming another chat referring people to us, the user in question will be banned from our channel. Our aim is to be mature

        and professional at all times.

        There is no need for people to be in free-to-play, RS2007 or beta. Players on these versions of the game cannot use the margins

        we provide and/or flip these items on the version they’re playing. People on these versions take up a slot in the friends chat, making

        it harder for active flippers to join and flip.

        This chat is specifically designed for flipping only. This means you must not advertise items that you are buying or selling within the channel.

        If you do accidentally, ensure that you quickly notify the channel that you made a wrong chat. If you do this multiple times, you will be kicked.

        If you begin to spam the buy or sell offer, you will also be instantly removed.

        Trending is discussing the increase or decrease in an items price. This may cause people to panic buy or panic sell, shrinking the margins

        for the item/items for the rest of the channel users. This will result in a kick.

        Do not ask for times for buying or selling an item. Time varies between player and cannot be known. In order to effectively flip, ensure you’re

        using the 25/30 rule (25k per 30 minutes). For more information on this, please read this thread.

        Trolling is not accepted in the channel. This causes unnecessary tension in the channel and will be dealt with accordingly.

        Examples of incomplete reports include:

         No buy on hiss @ 50

         No sell on hiss @ 200

        This information is not helpful to updating and it annoys other users and clutters the channel with unnecessary text. This could potentially

        lead to mass cutting for people trying to buy the item quicker, shrinking the margin. Please ensure that you’re using the above rule in order

        to adjust the buy or sell price.

        If someone is online and price checking, do not give out margins from the forum or quote the prices they have been putting into

        the channel. If someone is price checking, allow them to finish if you want to start. If you have the forum page open and no one is price

        checking, do not quote the margins. We also do not give recommendations as to what to flip, as all items on our list return a profit and recommendations can have an adverse effect on how often other items get reported/updated.

        If you would like to price check, you can find the relevant margins within this section of the forums: Margins. Please ensure you’re using

        the current date and the last post of that section which holds the most recent margins. If you would like to learn how to price check, please

        read the below guides:

        There should be no off-topic conversation in the channel. This is anything that is not related to what we’re flipping, however, this doesn’t
        mean that you can discuss trends! (see above) In cases where off-topic is excessive, you will be removed from the channel if asked to
        stop off-topic discussion.

        If you wish to talk off-topic, please join the official FlipChat1 clan channel, Elevion, as a guest, or better yet, join us!

        Please note: We have exceptions for when off-topic is allowed, see below:

           Holidays
              Easter

              Thanks-giving
              Christmas

              This off-topic will occur the day before, the day of and the day after each of the above holidays.

           Game Events
              Double XP Weekends
              Ingame Holiday Events

              Leveling Skills (90+)

              Off-topic may occur over the course of the Double XP Weekend or Holiday Event. In order to share your level-ups,
              ensure that you only use quickchat to post into the channel when you’re leveling (written levels will not be
              accepted!). A small burst of congratulations is allowed, as long as it doesn’t cause too much spam.

IF A KICK RANK IS ENFORCING A RULE IN THE CHANNEL THAT IS NOT LISTED HERE, LISTEN TO THEM!

RULES CAN (AND WILL) CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME, ALTHOUGH, WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO ENSURE THAT THIS THREAD IS UPDATED.
