  N/A
  
  
• List of offences you've committed and ban reason given to you:
  - I was banned for offsite blackhat activity; (account recovery, specifically). To the best of my memory serves me, I believe I was banned in around 2010 or 2011.
  
  - I created another Sythe account in 2016 and ban evaded. (not banned)
  
  While I did not get "caught" for having this newer account, I myself reached out and told staff members accordingly about this account.

  I made a few posts in various forums and have a few posts with some topics of discussion. After that I pretty much went inactive and stopped using it. Up until today, I did not log into it or recover it since about 3 years ago. Until I was asked to prove it was mine, I had already stopped using it. I moved out of my parents' and studied upstate, and this would explain why the IPs were different. Because the IPs didn't match, I had to prove ownership. Even on this new account.. I also did not scam anybody nor did I make a single post in any market section.

• Anything you wish to add:
  - I was banned for offsite blackhat activity; account recovery, specifically. To the best of my memory serves me, I believe I was banned in around 2010 or 2011. I had joined a forum called BugAbuse at the time, in hopes of learning how to find/exploit Runescape vulnerabilities. This however, took a wrong turn as the professional bug abuser "teams" were much more experienced than the next thousand guys in line and they had several years experience beforehand.
  
  Another part of the website dealt with exclusively blackhat RS activity.
  
  Public forum user information was passed around, usernames, passwords, locations, etc. and I made the friendship of a guy who went by the name Shane. At the time him and his team had "private" forum information and a few times he'd give me snippets of old forum account information to try to recover.
  
  In reality, the number of accounts I was actually able to recover was minuscule. I was by no means one of the "famous" or even one of the "good" account recover-ers on the forum and it did not make me money or rares or partyhats from old inactive accounts like I was hoping to get like the screenshots you frequently saw in the forum section. If it was not for Shane giving me specific details, I definitely would not have been able to pull off anything like that.
  
  There were maybe a total of 3 or 4 accounts I recovered, and 2/3 of these accounts were banned for RWTin the early 2000's, well before I started playing Runescape. I know for a fact I still have one or two linked to my emails and I would be more than glad to show you their status if necessary or if it'll help my case.
  
  These events did not make me money and did not change my financial standing in this game. Before the shutting down of The Snellman Brothers's neXus Runescape bots (RSBOTS.net/Impsoft/Autofighter.org) and ran a bot farm with staff-exclusive scripts so money was not exactly an issue for me at the time. I was a Rsbots member & moderator there for years on Perfecticus's forum before they were sued by Jagex and ultimately the sites were shut down.
  
  Not on any site have I ever scammed anybody - not for an account, not for money/GP. I have never keylogged, phished, nor have I ever been involved in any malicious activity of this sort.
  
  Prior and subsequent to the events above, I have not committed any sort of blackhat/theft/illegal activity. I have not participated in any activity of related to or partaking in the acquisition of another party's property without that person's permission or consent.
  
  Admittedly and regrettably this is not something I am proud of, and it is undoubtedly the most ethically fucked up I've done in the past and throughout my entire RS career.
  
  Thank you very much, I appreciate you taking the time to read this.
