| - Rule 6 prohibited account sharing and account trading. It was one of the original Rules of Conduct, but as of 11 May 2009, this rule now falls under the Honour category. This included the Account Trading Scam and Account Sharing. In short, account were not allowed to be shared among multiple people or traded. Accounts were only to be used by one person over the course of the account's lifetime. Players caught sharing or trading accounts generally received punishment up to a permanent ban/mute. The main reason Jagex enforced this is partially due to the fact that selling accounts was very unsafe. Furthermore, accounts that were up for sale (such as those on real-world trading sites) were often actually stolen, meaning that doing so not only helped them profit from their crimes, but also encouraged them to do it again.
- The rules came about due to a series of attendee misbehaviors at the earlier Baycon convention in 1991, involving abuses of liquor and several attendees being caught having sex in public within the hotel. The hotel manager later claimed that he had been on vacation between the Baycon and the subsequent Timecon, and had unwittingly signed off on the rules prepared by overzealous junior staff upon his return to the hotel immediately prior to Timecon. Later investigation indicated that the rules had come down from the hotel chain corporate management as a result of a hostile letter from another major corporate CEO to the Red Lion CEO.
