Good. Glad to hear it. The truth is, no matter how you look at it, Alts are the damn new Bots in this game. And while you may not be using them in an illegal manner, they are viewed as such by the rest of the player base. They are invasive and solely exist to provide their owner an unfair advantage in the game. Now, apart from actually macroing, that to me is the very definition of botting.
So I'm thrilled to hear and see so many Alts now getting the boot. It's about freaking time. Of course, Jagex waited a good long while until they'd made their money from all those Alt accounts during Archaeology's release which was no surprise. The party's over though. Well, at least for now until the next big game release when Jagex again turns a blind eye to players using 5 to 20 Alts to support their main account.
Despite your personal opinion , which you are definitely entitled to hold and express, it does not break this rule and therefore the accounts should not be banned for this rule:

Same thing happened to me too, unfortunately. Playing on a few alts at the same time, and they were all banned at the same time.
I found some information on an 'unofficial' website which suggested that 'Bot Busting (moderate)' implies it may be a manual ban from a Jagex Moderator hopping around looking for bots, and maybe even reviewing those 'false' reports which are coming in.
If any of the reports against my accounts were reviewed, it would be quite obvious that I stand there and talk to people explaining how alts work and why I was running multiple accounts.
I also received exactly the same response as you did - that Jagex have absolute proof I was using third-party software, which is against the rules, but it's only a temp ban so don't worry about it........................
I was reminded of, and direct to, the RuneScape rules and told not to do it again.
I still play on my alts, but I'm genuinely worried/anxious that they're going to be wrongfully banned again - and there's nothing I can do about it.
I understand that mistakes happen, and some bans are going to falsely be applied, but it's very unfair to tell people to stop doing what you are doing and never do it ever again or you will be permanently banned ... when you're doing nothing wrong.
A person in my clan was also recently banned. I can't speak on their behalf because I'm unsure of the full story - but he got exactly the same response from Jagex. Unfortunately this happened to his maxed main account.
It would be nice to be able to speak to a human about this issue for the sake of all those affected. There's clearly an issue here
