XAP, you admitted here that you knew about the glitch, and intentionally tried to do it. I'm sure that was why Jagex did what they did, but you'll have to take it up with them by appealing, if you can.
I can assure that among the players I have talked to, support for Jagex's actions here has been unanimous.
As for those that say these players did nothing wrong, I have to laugh. To me it is like a small electronics store with one employee, and he's in the back, opening boxes when a customer comes in. Seeing no one around, he takes ten TVs. Arrested later at his home, he says "it's not my fault. Can't you see, it's all the store's fault for not preventing me from stealing."
It's a commentary on the state of the world when people lack a sense of right and wrong.
