Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me with an account issue. My main account received two bans for macroing while it was hacked (one temporary then one permanent; ~1 wk apart). I initially appealed the permanent ban, but did not explain the situation well, and that appeal was denied. I then appealed the other (temporary) ban and gave much more detail confirming that I did not have access to the account during either of the macroing infractions, and that appeal was granted. However, the account remains permanently banned. I am hoping that someone can help to restore access to this account, since it seems Jagex agrees that I did not have control of the account at the time of these two macroing infractions.

Really hoping to get onto this account again in the future, I have so many great memories of playing on it from years and years ago. Thanks for your time!

Hi there
Ronweasley75


The account remains banned because, even though you appealed the offences in reverse order, the more recent offence is the one that dictates whether the account is playable or not.

No. They agree that you did not have control at the time of the first offence.
They would not have checked the later offence again as it had already had an appeal processed and a decision made.

Have you been inactive for a while on the account?
For the past four months it has been possible to upgrade a RuneScape account into a Jagex Account.
If your account had been a Jagex Account, you would have received an email every time it was logged into meaning you would have become aware of the hijacker activity immediately and could have taken steps to secure your account. This would have prevented the second offence from happening and, possibly, even prevented the initial offence.
It is a real shame that you have lost your account. Hijackers can destroy an account. :(

Hi Malua,

Thanks for the reply. I haven't played the game for years, so unfortunately I hadn't been back to upgrade to a Jagex account. Do you know if there is any mechanism for me to contact Jagex or a moderator to review the situation? I have looked extensively for that option but not been able to find anything. I would love the opportunity to play the account again.
