Recent BANNED? Vent here!

If you have helpful information for others, post here and I can update to the original thread.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

 

Thanks for putting all this together, however i really doubt that this will help :/

 

Do you know if any of these attempts have been successful?

 

Jagex doesn't read bot ban appeals fyi

 

I have a skiller back from 2010 which got banned lol. Do you think there is any chance I can get it back using your methods? Can't even remember what I had as skills but they were sure high level..

 

These are not my methods However, I have personally done the one with different IP address and it workeed.

 

Vent away!

 

i literally just got banned on one of my yew goldfarming accounts while reading posts about getting banned. how ironic..

 

Sorry to hear! What client were you using?

 

Lol. A long shot but I guess a start. Wouldn't necessarily recommend lying to them saying you got hacked, they see right through that.

 

Thanks for this, but has anyone tried and succeed using these methods?
