I was left-clicking on a gullible tourist and watching tv on a couch. Wireless mouse, why the hell not. This was done around 2 weeks, then suddenly, boom, ban.
My appeal was denied with no explanation, just a stamp indicating that I had broken the rules of the game. Although my ban has been lifted, I am wary about continuing to play the game. I'm concerned that the over entusiastic bot detection system may misinterpret my actions and ban me again.
Thoughts?

Bans are not placed instantly - they take effect some time after the rulebreaking behaviour is identified, in order to make fooling detection systems more difficult.

That is irrelevant in my case, since no botting was involved, at all. Literally, left clicking with a wireless mouse.
At this point im just recording my screen every time i play, just so i could have some proof material, if this happens again.

I guess its good you are recording yourself playing if you know you arent doing anything wrong.

Can anyone else access your workstation when you arent around?

I cant imagine a bot program would single out pickpockets. But maybe someone else can play for you?

Have you checked to make sure the only XP you have gained is indeed Thieving?
What your sales and trades have been?
Any activity other than what you think you did?
Did you help anyone get around the GE limits per chance?

Archaeox may have meant that the task you say you were doing may not be what got you banned. Or something you might have done long before what you think the time frame involved is.

At any rate, Im sorry if it is an overzealous program.

Im taking you at your word, but it might be helpful to try to figure out what could have happened other than a bot program snagging you for no apparent reason - for both yourself and the people that issued the ban.

Dont be scared to play. Maybe make this experience part of the fun and play detective for a bit.

You might want to change your password just incase.

The family can access the pc any time they want, but nothing they could do, that would trigger any suspicious actions.

I am not goint to ask anybody to play runescape for me :D Its embarassing as it is.

Yup, thieving xp only. No sales, no trades, Ironman account. Went to open the pirate chest at the start of the month, then back to pickpocketing, and boom, ban.

Will change the password, but i dount there is any real reason to do that. Tbh, the wife will probably throw the mouse away soon (the clicking has gotten to her).. so I guess I wont have to worry about the tourist pickpocket anymore.

Hey you never know.

I went to update my address at Chewy to make the FedEx guy happy and it didnt want to add a single digit to my address without my entering my payment information again.

A red flag went up, so I called Chewy to see if they would update my address for me, and I told them why.

They told me that Im not the first person to call about that, and the website shouldnt have asked me to do that just to update my address. So, either I picked up something somewhere, or the site link I chose picked up something somewhere, but imagine what would have happened if I desided it was not strange to want my payment information again and did what the site asked instead of calling.

Same with your password. If somehow someone else got it, they need to figure out what the new one is now.

Family has a way of seeing you log in, even if you dont think they notice. Out of sheer curiosity they might log in on your account without you knowing which is why I asked about someone else playing your toon. Not that you want someone else to play it, lol.

You see nothing suspicious so thats all good.

Dont Ironmen have a JMod coordinator or something like that? Maybe if you get a chance you could bring the issue up with someone that has access to a JMod.

If there is a rogue Bot Seeker program in the game, someone probably needs to catch it and tweak it, ASAP!

Best wishes with the wife, the mouse and the game. :)

Wife and a 5yo have no interest in rs3. And if they did, they would have a clue as how to even launch the game. But a valid point, non the less.

How does one find an ironman jmod ? Since im unable to get an explanation from the support side (except appeal denied, rules broken stamp answer).. maybe a real person would be able to atleast point or hint in the right direction.

Lol, I dont know. I dont even know where I got that idea from.

If you play Ironman on OSRS they seem to have a team of Mods. How accurate that list is, again, I dont know.

Hopefully you have Discord -

There you can speak to people who might be able to help you eventually get word out.

[link url=]https://discord.com/invite/OSRS[/link]

If you play RS3, their is also a Discord -

[link url=]https://discord.com/invite/rs[/link]

And if the RS Gods are smiling on you, maybe someone will see your dilemma here and post that you can contact them ingame.

Im a new(ish) player and thats the best my detective work could come up with.

Sorry. O_o

Hello I was hoping a mod could reach out and help me get some accounts unban. I want a second chance. I sincerely apologize and it wont happen again. I've put a lot of time into these accounts and I feel like I should of only gotten a few day ban or at least 1 strike not a perma ban for what I did. I've been playing Runescape since I was 12 years old I'm 28 now so a very long time, more than half my life and I've paid for membership this whole time I currently pay for 3 accs/ month and buy a lot of bonds for other acc builds I am making in the back ground and these are the accounts that got ban. so please give me a second chance. so far 1 account was unban and the other 6 were not sadly and I can't appeal them a second time? this is not fair.

1. you cant use the forums to appeal a ban, you have to go down the correct routes account bans information

2. this is a rants thread that has nothing to do with your situation. hijacking a thread isnt the best idea lol

3. just because you pay for membership doesnt mean you should get more chances, by sounds of it you broke rules, that means ban doesnt matter if you pay or not.

4. its definitely fair. you got 1 account back, you should be glad you got that, most people would say you shouldnt get any back. all this shows is yes jagex do take rule breaking seriously. and you want a second chance, it sounds like you have one, with that one account being unbanned.
