Wow Jagex......

[handguns]

This is both sad and hilarious;

On one hand they're getting pretty crazy on the lengths they go to ban people but,

when I saw 'bragging out his botting' in the report I lost my shit.

One right click on source code and you can edit anything .. takes like 5s .. and not even funny

They actually have hit gold farmers / traders in the past like this, and quite hard in fact.

This is a perfect example for why Guideline #2 exists:

2: Never leave a trail to your RS account name on any website where you have links to XXX (even if it's not the account you bot on).
If you talk about XXX on a public website, you are a target, common ways people give away their identity are: draynor.net achievement signatures, posting screenies of stats - if you show just 5 stats, it's the equivalent of giving your RuneScape username, using the same username on a cheating website as your RuneScape account can be risky, and of course, always edit out your name (and friends names) from screenshots or videos. If you break this guideline on a popular website and don't remove the information, you are at Jagex's mercy. If Jagex manage to uncover the account of a XXX member this way, they will put all accounts used by that person under surveillance, if any spend a suspicious amount of time in a known XXX botting training area, your links to XXX will be considered genuine, and result in a ban

Replace XXX with any RS cheating site you want.

It's rare, apparently it does happen.

Not really, never before (in my experience) have I seen Jagex search around any RS cheating related forum to gather evidence to ban. It just recently within the past month or so has Jagex really clamped down on banning people for macroing and RWT and I've never seen them go as far as to looking onto other sites for evidence!

/\ this,

and to the op did you have your username and or all stats visible ? I haven't seen you around as I am new, but it seems sketchy that jagex would do this it's obviously too late now because you have posted this so they can use it as evidence, but I'm pretty sure unless the above happened you could have just played dumb because they can't see your ip etc. on sythe so other than hear say they wouldn't have proof. I mean hell I could say I am zezima, suomi etc. and brag about it on a maxed out account, doesn't make it true that I am either of them.

my username are on several websites. Including Runescape as my rsn, but i really don't bot like that or give them a reason to. I mostly play legit on 07, other than that im in college/work

 

[basshunter23]

I'm sorry, but that's fucking hilarious and very unforunate. Sorry buddy.

 

[samerdl]

This is hilarious, sorry lol.

You posted a link that basically told them what account you were botting on... But you didn't brag?? like the fact you said you got banned for macoring means you bragged? Thats bullshit.


Anyway man sorry, i guess you have to start all over.

reminds me of this video:

the capitalized 'J' looks lonely.

That was on reddit, and it probably isnt his account. That is dumb because anybody could make an account with another person's username and brag about botting. Thus, you could get any1 you wanted banned

Can show you this was my acct someone stole my pic then.

All of you people not believing this; exactly what would someone have to gain by faking that their account got hacked?

Who doubted him? we just think its funny :embar:

 

[Yo Its Xile]

LMFAO i died laughing.

 

[win4fun]

inb4 suomi gets banned because someone opens an account with that name and talks about botting.

In all seriousness jagex actually pays people to go around websites like sythe and check if people's usernames match their IGN? Waste of time/resources imo.

 

[Philosophic]

They are, what I describe as, a no life mod who releases his frustration on Runescape by banning others to give himself feelings of satisfaction

Really? I call it doing his job. That's just my take on it, though.


@OP: You truly do have the worst luck - I've never seen a J Mod comment on a ban stating they found you on Sythe. That's crazy
