Recently BANNED? Vent here!

Were you recently banned for goldfarming? RWT? You think you were banned for no reason? Feel free to vent here and look for helpful information that will benefit you in some way.

If you have helpful information for others, post here and I can update to the original thread.
They don't use email anymore, so you must use the interface on their site under support.

Twitter: @JagexSupport (They'll respond most likely, but it'll probably be copy and paste)
@ModBeno (sp?) (He's likely to respond and tell you why. You sometimes have to spam him to get a response.)

This is from the user Covey: in no way am I saying these work or have tried them. Just thought this might be a good starting point for some people.

Ban Appeals
Offensive Language Appeal

Code:

Dear, Jagex

I'm sorry for what i've done. I know it was wrong and feel terrible towards the user i abused. If you decide to just give me a warning on this i would be grateful and can assure you nothing like this will occurr again. I feel it's my duty to apologize to the user i abused as i may have hurt their feelings, and made them upset. I know i wouldn't like to be spoken to in the way i did.

Item Scamming Appeal

Code:

Dear, Jagex

I'm terribly sorry for trying to do this, i know it was wrong but it got the better of my everyone was doing it, so i thought i would give it ago. I've totally learnt my lesson and won't even think of trying this again. Please keep in mind that i only tried to scam, i didn't actually scam anyone but i know that doesn't justify anything and i was in the wrong.

Thank You.

Code:

Dear Jagex

Every time i log in my bank pin has tryed to be deleted. I keep changing my password but they keep guessing it. I've scanned my computer and it has no viruses please help. and please don't add to the situation by banning me =(

Thank You

Bug Abuse Appeal

Code:

Dear, Jagex

I'm sorry for doing this but i think it was a mis-understanding, i come across that bug accidently. and i was so excited of what i did i tried to do it again, but it didn't work. I was trying to figure out how i did it exactly but i couldn't re-do it. so i am sorry for doing it although it was an accident and i couldn't repeat it, and i gained nothing out of it.

Thank You.

Jagex Staff Impersonation Appeal

Code:

Dear, Jagex

I'm sorry for impersonating you but it was only as a joke and i was being sarcastic i can't express that enough. I guess ill think again before trying to express sarcasm over the internet. i hope you see that this was a mis-understanding and won't happen again. i was also talking to my real life friend in game not anyone else, next time i guess ill use the 'P.M'.

Thank you.

Account Sharing/Trading Appeal

Code:

Dear, Jagex

I'm sorry, i didn't know this was a bannable offence or even illegal for that matter. I'm not a rule breaker and always abide by your rules you set (well i thought i did until now). He was my best mate and wanted to have ago while he was at my house so being a good friend i let him. Now that i know that this isn't allowed i assure you it won't happen again.

Thank You.

Macroing Appeal
Macroing is now a Permanent Ban and it is very un-likely that a Ban Appeal will succeed.

Code:

Dear, Customer Service 

I don't know how I got banned for this, but please, I enjoy playing runescape and If I've done something wrong I'm sorry. I think you have made a slight mistake, I would never do anything wrong that stops me from enjoying an entertaining and fun online game such as this one. Please, I would very much like to play runescape again.

Thank You.

Multiple Logging In Appeal

Code:

Dear, Jagex

I'm sorry, i didn't know this was a bannable offence or even illegal for that matter. I'm not a rule breaker and always abide by your rules you set (well i thought i did until now). I have re-read your rules as you requested and now realize that it was wrong to interact in any way between my acounts. I will promise you that you will not have to deal with me again.

Thank You.

Encouraging Others to Break Rules Appeal

Code:

Dear, Jagex

Jagex, im sincerely sorry for causing this trouble, i didn't to encourage her to break the rules and i hope she didn't. I was only joking around and when i said that it was meant to be sarcastic not meaningful. I now realize how this could be taken the wrong way and apologize for the trouble i have caused.

Thank You.

Misuse of Customer Support Appeal

Code:

Dear Jagex

Sorry jagex, but i was just making sure you got the report so i sent it afew times, then my mate told me about it only takes the last 60 seconds of chat. so it wouldn't have anything incriminating in it about the person i was reporting and you would have seen it as spam. I'm terribly sorry for causing all this extra work for you, and i was only trying to help.

Thank You.

Advertising Website Appeal

Code:

Dear Jagex

I'm sorry jagex, but she wanted to know a good runescape help site. So i was trying to help her out, its a well known fan site and isn't a scam site i go to it myself regularly. But as the rules state it is an offence and i knew that. I'm sorry for this and hope you understand and just give me a warning. I look forward to hearing from you. ^_^

Thank You.

Real World Item Trading Appeal
Real World Trading is now a Permanent Ban so it is very un-likely that a Ban Appeal will succeed.

Code:

Dear Jagex

Sorry jagex, this is just a mis-understanding. I was talking to my brother about ebay, he is buying his girlfriend a really nice 2nd hand car for her 18th birthday amd he was giving me the sellers details so i could transfer the money over to his ebay account. I know runescape isn't the place to discuss this and it will not happen again i assure you.

Thank You

Asking for Personal Details Appeal

Code:

Dear Jagex

Jagex what did i do wrong? she asked me for my email so she could add me on msn, and in return i asked for hers. I think its a bit unfair as i was (in a way) tricked into breaking this rule. I didn't go out of my way to ask for her details i was being polite and responding to her. I love playing runescape and wouldn't knowingly break your rules. Sorry.

Thank You

Last Chance Appeal
Last Chance Appeals are very rarely accept these days, it all depends on your accounts history & what offences you have committed. Those factors determine your chances of getting your account unbanned. If you have broken Rule 7 or 12, i sincerely doubt that any Ban Appeal would work.

Code:

Dear Jagex
I'm terribly sorry for the mistakes i have made on my account in the past, i love playing runescape and now that i'm at risk of losing my account i realise how i have behaved was inappropriate and irresponsible. I promise if you give me 1 last chance i will straighten up. I love runescape and won't do anything that will put my account in jeopardy again.

Thanks Jagex

Global Appeal - Claiming you got Hacked
When you send in this appeal, go to your friends house or your local library to send it in, this appeal MUST have a different IP to what you lasted logged in with for it to work. It can be used on all offences.

Code:

Dear, Jagex

I did not commit this offence, I think i was hacked last night. i think i know who did it, my friend tinanti gave me a program over msn. He told me it would give me 99 in all skills, so i tried to use it but it said i wasn't authorized or something. I logged in this morning and i had no items worth over 10k in my bank, im really upset and thinking of quitting now.

Thank You.

Code:

Dear Jagex

I didn't commit this offence i got an email from you about how your database was comprimised and you asked me to send you my username and password do you could secure my account. I guess you didn't get to secure my account fast enough before the hacker got it. I apologise for not sending you the information sooner.

Thank You.

Flagged IPs

I constantly see threads asking what they should do with their IP once they get banned. I have experimented and have gone through several things that seem to help me out.

1) You can test with a new account. Login and finish tutorial island. If you haven't been banned for that yet, you're IP isn't flagged and you should be fine.

This will show you how to change your IP in different ways if you're flagged.

You can also just google "what is my IP address" to see if it's changed.
http://whatismyipaddress.com/change-ip

2) Sometimes they flag your MAC address. This is a little harder to change but can help if you think you're flagged.

http://www.howtogeek.com/192173/how-and-why-to-change-your-mac-address-on-windows-linux-and-mac/

3) Invest in a proxy/VPN. You can find one for as cheap as 30$ for a whole year.

4) Get a VPS. This might allow you to bot more accounts and will also provide a new IP. I suggest Photon or YoHojo's VPS shop.

I stick to my home IP and run them all from there.

 

Man i've been banned so many times, for me, there is no point venting about it :fp:

 

Understandable. Just a place to come and post rather than post numerous threads in other sections

 

Threadstarter! Did ya get banned for RWT before? and recently? Heard there's an increase ban rate for RWT.

 

I've never been banned for RWT tbh. Always macro bans.

 

2 acc's of mine were just banned. 1 perma for major macroing and the other temp for moderate macroing (this acc is much older). Both had a solid 5m 07 on it. fml

 

Thanks for this.

 

hi blupig
<3



ot: got banned for bug abuse mr barton sir what do i do

 

Already got one, just tired of reading constant "I got banned for botting 24 hours yesterday, what do I do?" No need to come and spam thread with the typical hate mail. Take yourself back to the coffin old head ass.

Keep picking up shifts at Burger King, can buy more.

 

whoaa ive broken most of those rules, even impersonating staff ^
had no idea most of those were even reportable offenses.. nvr got reported til..
------------------------
earlier this week, i return to my 7yr account
botted enitre week long wasnt caught i swear, couldnt find a free bot for cave fishing in lrc, so i started 'encouraging other to break the rules' by asking ppl if they macro in game chat.
-
& i barely noticed there was actually a person with a crowned-gamertag chatting as well, seems like ive nvr seen a actual mod testing rs. im sure his fishing skillcape was legit.
-
...I went further to discuss how i payed $3 for 10mil, that i used to get a bond for 14days of membership, instead of paying jagex for a game that was obviously created for robots.
5 minutes later as i decide to start a quest, bam! d/c 48hr suspension. first offense ever, "this is your final warning"
--------------------------------
bottom line is
couldve just put an npc in mines that exchanges noted ore, make it take twice as long to dig up to compensate.
Competition for resources? put them in the wild and let clans fight over their claim. eh nvm.. they put a runite rock in mining guild, just for world hopping

i bet jagex staff members are individually/privately responsible for real-world trading and botscripts, just to create a problem a work they can actually fix

id exchange college tuition/scholarships for a game that encouraged writing bot scripts and community on forums. lol.. like https://screeps.com/

 

So, a few months back, I had made 5 brand new botting accounts on 07 due to the fact that I play RS3 and 1m -7 is worth anywhere from 5-8m. And, the 07 jagex botting team is rather small in comparison to the RS3 team. All 5 accounts botted wc well beyond 99. At first, I would transfer gp to an 07 mule to hold until i transfered to RS3. I would do this almost everyday in fear of being banned and losing the money. well then i got comfortable. Each account eventually had about 100m 07. Then, I logged on one day to finally make myself rich as fuck on RS3. I transferred all 500ish mil to my mule. I hit a dude up on here to swap for me. I log onto my mule and head to meet up with him. On my way, I'm mysteriously logged out, I thought I had simply lagged out. I go to log back on and my mule was banned. My mule with damn near 500m 07... THEY DIDN'T BAN THE FUCKING BOTS THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Needless to say, i was rather pissed but was eventually able to see the funny side of this cruel, sick, twisted irony. Hahaha

 

I've never actually been banned on OSRS.

(touch wood).

 

Vent away!
