I though I might add this to this Thread also:
Honestly when looking at the Bot Live Stream that Jagex did on their RuneScape Youtube Channel with Mod Mark, Mod MMG and Mod Paul M (The Host of the Live Stream), Mod Mark have started that it is hard to recognize a Bot once they have log in or Created a account. Until it preforms Bot like behavior then they can tell that it is a Bot.
One thing that I would like to mention is that mostly All Adbots that PM you would never ever be the Same one once they have made that 1st message. (If it is the same one for you ever time then you can easily ignore it .) So one thing that should be running in your head and one thing you should think about if you was Working with Jagex in this field,
"How do you prevent a Bot from sending its Text before it ever Reaches the Player PM?" "How do you ensure that its really a Bot when it only send that ad to one person then logs out?"
Note: Once it send that Message why would there be a Need to ban it when it would never log in again unless that Account has be Hijacked?
So honestly if you can understand that then you can understand that Jagex is Trying its best to prevent this with out putting a Bunch of Limitations on new accounts or even all accounts in general when it comes to Sending a PM.
If I was working at Jagex thinking about that would be really stressful... The only way to prevent Messages being sent is to have a Delay in it and allow the text to be Scanned before it is sent to the Player PM.
Would we really want a Long delay in PMs? Because trust me their will be delays in PM's when a lot of Player are sending PM's which are being Scanned and queued up which would means 5mins maybe 30mins before that Pm reaches someone.
So people really need to Understand this and I wish I was working for Jagex so I can help Solve this. I really like having my PM's open so people can freely Massage me with Questions or concerns about things or maybe asking for help.

Glad to hear there will be no additional rewards for players after botony Bay is released as the bots being gone is reward enough.
Can't you just manually ban bots from classic?
I quite liked old random events can't we have them but be optional? I don't find them annoying at all.
The rewards for random events atm like outfits and emotes add them as botony bay rewards?
Will other types of rulebreakers be focused on now?

Thanks for the reply about Classic! :) (and thanks to who asked it as well :P )
Though certainly you could still work out how to ban bots and rampant RWT'ers in Classic without needing to implement something such as an RSC version of 'botwatch'. I mean, more than half of them blatantly admit to botting or RWT, and this confession can easily be seen on a report, no?
Or even better come in RSC once every few months (just for a few minutes please!) And check the botting hotspots in RSC, and ban them. With Classic closed, it's not like they can come back, I can't imagine it would take long.

Anyways, thanks again, great questions, great answers, and great Q&A. One of the best Q&A's I've seen. And that's saying something, I can be a bit of a critic. ;)
<3 RSC - Gone, but never forgotten.
