== Scammers, hackers, and other jerks ==
==Scammers, hackers, and macros==


Scammers: They will try to trick you out of your items. This is ILLEGAL! Their evil methods are:
===Scammers===
*Quick switch method. Example: They change 100mill to 100k or something similar. (This was done with leaf bladed spears and Guthan Warspears, but Leaf Bladed Spears have become un-tradable in a recent update.)
They will try to trick you out of your items. This is ILLEGAL! Their evil methods are:
*Armor Trimming. You CANNOT trim armor, trimmed armor comes from a mini-game. Anyone who says they can trim armor is a liar.
====Quick switch====
*"Drop your items and press Alt and f4!" A scammer may say that this will double the items, but instead it just exits your account - without your items.
With the quick switch method, they will quickly switch in an item that appears to be like the one you wanted. This can often be done with coins being switched from something such as 200'''K''' to just 200.
*Remember, there are evil scammers out there, with many sick minded methods, so BE VILIGANT! And report scammers (to lower Runescape's idiot population).
====Armor Trimming====
The armor trimming scam is an old one, but people still fall for it every once in a while. The scammer will say something along the lines of "Free armor trimming" and wait for someone to trade them their armor then log off. You can simply report  anybody who says this.
====Alt F4====
This scam involves someone saying to drop your items by saying that if you drop your items and press Alt+F4 it will double them or do something of the like. The only thing this will do is drop your items and close your active window, usually runescape. By the time you log back in, you'll have lost the items and the scammer will have picked them up.


Hackers: In runescape, people refer to password thieves as hackers. Their arsenal of injustice includes:
===Hackers===
*"Jagex blocks your pass look here ******** try it!" No they dont, unless its offensive language. They just typed in a bunch of *s. Tell anyone not to fall for this, and report him immediately!
In runescape, people refer to password thieves as hackers. Although there are a few people who literally hack your computer through a trojan with a keylogger, that usually never happens
*"I am an undercover mod, give me your password and you won't be banned." not only does he break rule 3, he breaks rule 5. Report him for either one. Even if he is a mod. Even if he's one of JAGEX STAFF!
====Password block====
*Remember never to give out that password! Also, beware of fake downloads and evil fansites, use a different password there.
In this case, somebody will say something like "Jagex blocks your password see ******** try it!". The censor in fact '''doesn't''' your password even though it only makes sense for it to.
===Under-cover Mod===
Here, somebody with a normal account will tell you that you need to give them your passwords or else you'll get banned. This is fairly obvious that it's a hoax, so go ahead and report them. Some people have variations of it saying that they can make you a member if you give them your passwords also, which is once again a hoax.
*'''NEVER''' use your password on any website except the ruinscape login page. Don't use it anywhere else, not even on another website account.


Autoers: These guys use third party software to keep their account on doing something (mining, smithing, etc.) while they're away.
===Autoers===
Autoers are people who'll keep their characters online with help of a computer macro program. These programs are almost always written by the player him/herself since most online ones are really keyloggers and trojans. If you plan on doing it, never download one from the internet.
*Autoers usually have default clothing and odd names. They are also usually level 3.

*Not everyone is an autoer. Sometimes you may find a level 3 skill pure.
*Not everyone thats level 3 is an autoer. Sometimes you may find a level 3 skill pure.
*Autoers won't talk. Randoms are their bane.
*Autoers follow a very specific path. Unless they have an anti-random exploit in them, they'll be killed when they receive a random.
EXAMPLE:
EXAMPLE:
Iamanidiot37: *Starts autochopping*
Macro: *Starts chopping*<br>
Tree Spirit: Leave these woods and never return!
Tree Spirit: Leave these woods and never return!<br>
Iamanidiot37: *Keeps chopping and gets totally MURDALIZED*
Macro: *Keeps chopping and dies*<br>
Iamsmart37: *Reports Iamanidiot37*
Real_player: *Reports Macro*<br>
(If Iamanidiot37 or Iamsmart37 is your username, tell me and I'll change it.)
