Rule 3 prohibited password scamming. It was one of the original Rules of Conduct, but as of 11 May 2009, this rule now falls under the Honour category. This rule encompassed the PIN Scam, Password Scam, and the Password Changing Scam. Due to the severe nature of password scamming, players who were caught breaking Rule 3 were almost always issued either a permanent mute or ban by Jagex.
