100+ high profile dicers/gamblers banned, hundreds of thousands of bots have been banned as well. Confirmed that f2p hiscores will come back in the upcoming months... while this doesn't make up for the catastrophe that is SOF, some faith restored in Jagex.

Just banned or permanently banned?
Jagex explicitly stated last summer that these are two very different concepts when dealing with bots.
They also firmly stated that their policy is to give ALL accounts a second chance -no matter if they are obvious botting accounts. (We could all just helplessly watch when a flood of bots went back to work after being banned for a few weeks.)
Argo, it will take an infinite LOT more to restore even a fragment of my faith in Jagex.

Where are you getting those numbers from Buff? There are many MANY more RWT'ers still going strong on youtube and they only banned a few according to what I've seen so far.
Also, to paraphrase a good post:
*
Extremely cheeky of Jagex to be announcing their 'data analysis tool' and being oh so proud of it when so many people in the HLF have shown, in a multitude of visible threads, that these RWT'ers, bots and bot clans do exist (for example, a thread about WAD had been going for over 4 months and had been 'forwarded to the right team' about 2 times; there was even a joke thread about hunter bots racing to 200m).
For months on end, they have shown time and time again that they turn a blind eye to even the most blatant bots. How can you possibly expect them to accept praise for this 'tool' they're using and being almost a YEAR late with it at that?

There are still many bots out there. Case in point: 'arrogantsnow' clan. 149 members and 12b+ experience. ALL maxed in hunter and nothing else.

To tag on a bit of a positive note:
FINALLY some bans.

Relevancy note: less bots means less lag ;)
