Do not: 5. Create "Am I safe, Will I get banned, Is X safe to bot yet" threads. There are far too many factors to put into consideration with bans for someone to give you an accurate answer to this.
The bot rates depend entirely on where/how you bot. Since getting back into botting 07 I've had a few accounts banned within a day, doing the typically high risk tasks, whereas others with other bots/locations have run more than a week at this point, practically 24/7. As for general ban rates, it's not as high as the RS3 bot busting sprees have seen, but still not as low as it has been in the past - in my opinion, anyway.
