I thought of a great idea for an updated appeal system that will resolve a lot of conflict with people who break game rules willingly versus people who might have been unfairly banned or made an honest mistake. here is the proposal:
1.) Re-vamp the appeal system so that a person who is trying to appeal a Ban it would take them 30 minutes+ to fill out and make it super tedious. The reason for this is that honest players who just made a mistake or were unluckily banned for no reason, would 100% fill out this super tedious form because they enjoy the game, it was an honest mistake, and most importantly they probably wont do it again.
2.) If this new appeal system was SUPER tedious and takes forever to fill out, like a super questionnaire/ paragraph answers as to when/why/who/what/where/etc. the offense occurred, then no one would ever want to fill it out even once, let alone twice and it also shows the employees at Jagex that this person actually really cares about Runescape and their account and most likely wont commit anymore offenses.
3.) Additionally it would help separate out the botters, cheaters, and other returning offenders from one time offenders. No repeat offender or botter will be likely to repeatedly fill out this type of super tedious appeal form just to cheat/bot again and get banned again.
4.) In summary i think a system like this would be a lot better than what is currently in place, since of as now there is little to zero support for people who get banned/appeal denied. You can see posts everywhere on Runescape forums of tons of people posting about unfair bans or "Lack of support" "Zero support", its also everywhere on other platforms like youtube, twitter, Reddit, etc. I think if this idea was Polled, it would pass with 80% or better, most the community just wants to play cheater free and some people like me want accounts back that got perma banned without being able to talk to anyone about it.
