Jagex, I'm writing to express my frustration regarding your account banning process. Recently, a friend of mine, new to the game, was banned. He joined just two days ago and progressed quickly with assistance from me and another friend. This rapid advancement might have triggered your bot detection system. He was actively engaged in the game, even discussing strategies with us in group chats. His sudden ban has significantly dampened his enthusiasm. It's disheartening to see how new, genuine players are discouraged in this manner, especially when they contribute to the game's community growth. This approach seems counterproductive, considering the efforts and resources invested in advertising to attract new players. I understand the challenges in managing bots, but this situation calls for a more nuanced review process. My friend has filed an appeal, encouraged by our support, to give the game another chance. His character name is 'guavacita'. I urge you to address this issue and improve your system to better differentiate between real players and bots.

Bro, I don't know what you're saying, but my point is simple: Jagex's system seems flawed. It's not about the speed of advancement. My friend, a real player, got banned unfairly, and it's discouraging. It's less about speed runs and more about how Jagex differentiates between bots and genuine players. That's where they're messing up.

Thread moved to the Account Help forum, as assistance on this sort of thing is best provided here.

As mentioned above though, the only avenue to request an additional look would be for your friend to appeal the ban (as they have done). JMods do not take appeals via the forums or other means.

Yeah, thanks for the obvious advice. I already knew about the appeal process, which is why I posted in the rants section, to express frustration, not to seek help. Moving my post here shows a lack of understanding of the issue I'm raising

Bro, I don't know what you're saying,


im saying playing efficiently doesn't trigger the bot detection, i dont know how else i can explain that.



nothing is perfect, they ban 200k+ bots a month. of course a few will be legit players. thats why there is an appeal system and they can look into it again.

expecting all bans to be 100% only bots is unfortunately wanting the moon on a stick. its cant be done especially when its 200k+ a month.

does it suck? sure, but as stated this isnt a perfect world

to have a bot detection with 0% on getting legit players, then well theyd be banning a lot less than 200k bots a month. and then youd be on rants saying there are too many bots.

Man, I get what you're saying about efficiency not triggering bot detection. My point is about raising awareness of the flawed system. I'm not asking for help from player moderators; you guys don't have the power to fix this. I specifically addressed Jagex to review my friend's appeal, because his ban is laughable since he's a legit player. I'm reaching out to Jagex directly, not expecting player mods to intervene. It's about waking up to the real issue here.

and your friend has made that appeal. you cant appeal on the forums.

so whats the point in asking it here? when its already in process.

and you dont do that over forums.

the route to contact jagex about bans, isnt for a friend over forums. its for the owner of the account using the appeal system, which has already happened.


what you are doing here, is the same as shouting at the staff in a restaurant about your friends order, when he has already made his order and its cooking in the kitchen

Also, your comment about 'nothing being perfect' is part of the problem. That attitude doesn't help in bringing new players into the game. You seem content with the current player base, which frankly isn't great. Instead of just accepting things as they are, why don't you stand with me in calling for a change, rather than defending Jagex blindly? We need to address these issues, not just brush them off.

its called being realistic.

there are 200k bots banned a month.

how many threads are there that are complaining about a ban that shouldnt happen? 3? 4? less? those are actually amazing numbers.
