Recommended Posts

Jagex has recently posted a thread stating that they will review permanently banned runescape accounts and decide if they should have a second chance or not. If your runescape account is permanently banned, Head over to the runescape forums, and quick find this thread (103-104-3-58567982)

Account Review Thread

 

 

 

Hi guys,

 

 

 

Once more we are opening this thread to allow our players the chance to post the name of a permanently banned/muted account, which we will then review.

 

 

 

Well go over these accounts with a fine comb and well see what we can do to get these accounts back into the game.

 

 

 

There are a few guidelines to this thread that wed very much like you to follow.

 

 

 

Important note

 

Due to the harmful nature of the following offences, accounts that have been banned because of these offences will not be returning to game.

 

 

 

* No account banned for Hijacking will be unbanned.

 

* No account banned for Bug Abuse will be unbanned.

 

 

 

Please be aware that you can still create a new account and enjoy the game on that, without the stigma of these offences on the account.

 

 

 

1. Please only post the name of your account. Theres no need to explain the circumstances surrounding your account. Were going to review every account in as much detail as we humanly can.

 

2. Please dont post if your account is not permenantly banned/muted. I know it may be annoying to have accounts with a few black marks, but as long as you follow the rules, you can play these accounts without hindrance. Ideally only post on this thread if your account is permanently banned/muted.

 

3. Please feel free to post about other peoples accounts if theres no alternative. Its great that you want to help out your friends, but it can get really confusing if we see the same name a lot of times. Encourage your friend to post here themselves and well do what we can. If your friend has no way of posting on this thread, then you may post their name. Please dont post a name that has already been posted by someone else, though. Rather than speeding things up for your friend, it actually slows us down a little bit. ;)

 

4. Please be patient. It can take time to review these accounts, quite a lot of time actually, so please be patient for a response. We will get to everyone eventually.

 

5. Please only post a maximum of 5 names at a time. Sometimes weve had people post 100+ accounts, which means that we simply cant devote the time we need to review each one. Well be able to review the 5 accounts much faster and you can repost the other accounts after the first 5 have been reviewed.

 

6. Make sure youve appealed your offences first.Theres no need to use this thread until your normal appeals have run out. A direct appeal is likely to be looked at faster. :)

 

 

 

I hope this helps. :)

Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 

Why are my posts being hidden?

 

 

 

Posts are hidden so that we know which accounts have been added to our review list. No need to worry if your post has been hidden, it means that we have read it and will be reviewing it. :)

 

 

 

Will I get a messagE if my review has been denied?

 

 

 

Yes. However the review pans out, once we have reviewed it, you will receive a message.

 

 

 

Where will I receive a response about my account?

 

 

 

We will send an inbox message to the reviewed account. We are unable to disclose any information about another account on this thread.

 

 

 

Ive not heard a response yet, when will I?

 

 

 

Patience young padawan, the review process takes time. Well review it as fast as possible, but please be patient.

 

 

 

All reviewed accounts will have an inbox message. If you have no message then your account is being reviewed, please dont post it again. ;)

 

 

 

We realise that some accounts posted before have yet to be reviewed, however, please be aware that some accounts will take longer to review. Were not ignoring them though, were working through them now

This is BS. They got banned because they broke the rules. They should not get any more chances. And besides, it doesnt only take one offence to get banned it takes a few. This means that thgey broke the rules more than once. Its really not fair to have those rule breakers get their accounts back. Total BS!

I believe the accounts they want to unban are the ones that were banned because people reported them for petty things and the mod was a bit too hasty in their judgement. I've heard of really silly bans occurring before.

 

 

 

Then again, they could all be lying, so that's what the review process is for.

Yup, an old main of mine was peramently banned (0 black marks before), only because of it's name! (No, I'm not going to reveal the name.)

 

 

 

JaGeX banned it because they found the name to encourage others to break the rules. I don't know if it would help, but I guess it's worth a try, so I'll post there...

Everyone deserves a second chance. If the ban was for something like offensive language or account sharing/trading, I really see those as minor offences. I would not want any plays back in the game that were banned for macroing or RWT though.

Everyone does deserve a second chance, for example for mistakes you made in the early years of playing Runescape, especially if you were..........slightly less mature then you are now.

 

 

 

People change in time.

Nothing new i think this is the 5th or so time a thread has been made for it. First time they did it was last September, i submitted my old account took like 6 months but it got unbanned and 0 bm ftw :) . They wont unban just any account, the reason I got unbanned was I had legacy punishments that I could not appeal.

 

 

 

I think its a great way to help those who have been unfairly banned, or can not appeal certain black marks.

I had 0 black marks on my previous account, this was several years back now. I decided that I would use software which would track my mouse movements... me believing this would work decided to use it to fletch my way to 99, besides, I was making around 100,000gp back then via yew longs.

 

 

 

Low and behold... I decided to do a spot of fishing in Catherby (manually) to take a break from Fletching and for some odd reason I got logged out, naturally thinking my internet was playing up I checked my router - all was fine - so I logged back in and it had said my account had been banned.

 

 

 

Apologised and made a statement which was a personal apology and still remained perm. banned. Did I deserve it? Hell yes I did, I now realise I shouldn't have done it and I have never used 3rd party software to help me do anything my current account and I've surpassed myself in Fletching and every other levels.

 

 

 

I don't think my account deserves another chance, besides, this account is so much better. :thumbsup:

I agree totally. If they have got their account banned they must have done some serious errors in the game. Then they shouldn't been given the chance to recover it.

....How do this help if the Account is Banned? They cant post on the forums! >.<

 

 

 

On the plus im glad, I have a hefty old account that was banned because someone accused me of macroing. This was in 2004, when it was a major issue (without credit card frauds) and you were Banned on the spot, I wouldn't talk because I was talking on MSN at the time and ignored him, he thought i was macroing and bam, Banned.

I believe that you are supposed to do it on another account, perhaps their way of telling if you are a dedicated (and for the most part) paying member?

well my old main got banned, before the trade limit changes because a friend gave me dragon legs, which I later found out (2 months after) were Real-World Traded. I told Jagex this but alas I was still given 10 marks instantly. :wall:

 

So I may attempt to get him unbanned :lol:

You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face.

 

Do not fear Death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light. But, if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity...

Actually I know many people who have been permanently banned from one offense and it was something stupid like offensive language.

... Thread as reached it's limit on 2000 posts...

 

I hope they make another thread. This might be the only chance to get my very first account that was hacked and then banned for a offence I still have no idea of.

For the people claiming this is a joke, you are also saying that people can't change. A perm ban is a death sentance for a charecter. A perm mute is something like a twisted form of verbal parole. Some things shouldn't be forgiven, and obviosly Jagex realises that. But not everyone with a perm ban/mute deserves it. People change. Considering there are players who get decent accounts banned when their about 13, chances are they might have matured in a couple years.

 

 

 

There are people who deserve these chances. I applaud Jagex for taking the time to weed out the people who deserve this. If anything gets through, chances are they will be re banned again shotly after their second chance, and I doubt they'll gte chance 3 anytime soon.

But not all sins deserve the same punishment.

I agree not all accounts should be unbanned.

 

 

 

But people seem to assuming posting their name here = auto unbanned or unmute.

 

 

 

It doesn't mean that at all it means Jagex will carefully and thoroughly review the account.

 

 

 

We all know people who got muted or banned due to something that happened while the account was hacked

 

Or someone who got banned for no real reason, eg the evidence didn support what they were being accused of.

 

 

 

Its good that Jagex is recognising they have made these errors and is giving people a chance to come bk by giving a fresh look at previous bannings.

I can see both sides of the argument on this one and really don't know what I'm feeling about it.

 

It's nice that some folks will get a second second chance, especially with all the rules changes, but then again how many of them will just break the rules again?

 

 

 

could work, could be a nightmare. I think only time will tell -.-

Hijacking means stealing accounts?

 

 

 

I have an old account I might try this with, it got banned for autotyping back in 06, back when the official stance on autotyping was and I quote "Whither or not using a program to type for you is against the rules, it's dangerous! Many times programs like that are designed to steal your password..."

 

 

 

And actually, it wasn't even autotyping, it was like a mousekey app, where you pushed a hotkey to type a phrase for you, it wasn't even automatic.

 

 

 

Hopefully I'll get it back, it had some decent [cabbage] on that old account. Looks like I'll have to wait a couple weeks anyway.
