Is Mass Banning a Myth?

Featured Replies

Ok, I've been reading stuff about previous and forthcomming "Mass Bannigs"

 

 

 

Do these really exist? How do you find out when they happen, I mean, does Jagex publish something like "A mass banning occured yesterday at such time, X players were banned"?

 

 

 

When did the previous mass bannings happen?

2004 and 2002 were the last one's if you can read the newsletter

12 December 2002 - Cheating scum banned

 

 

 

If you cheat at RuneScape you will be banned. We have very advanced detection routines, and we can tell if you use programs to control your character for you. We've just banned over 400 players for cheating in this way. Many of whom were high level members.

 

 

 

We'd like to remind our players that using macros to play for you is NOT allowed and we WILL permanantly ban you for it, no exceptions!

yes they happened on 2 occasions that i can remember. i think we are in need of one now and im pretty sure people will move a good 2000 ranks up on highscores if it happens. so many level 3-12's autoing woodcutting, mining, and fishing

Dragon Drops: 5 medium helmet, 3 left shield half

Obby: Maul 1, Cape 1, Shield 1

Jagex ban ppl who cheat or they make a little cleaning to free servers?? :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yah they should but more mod on selling servers like world 1,2,3,16 because theirs too much ppl using macro GRR :x

No, mass banning really exist :P Jagex did a few quite some time ago, at one point they were so mad that they posted the list of everyone getting banned :P

A myth? No. An exaggeration? Definately.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What was the last one? 3000 members or something banned. I'd be suprised if it reached 1000, perhaps 500.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's simple propoganda how many they ban. If those figures were given now though, with the number of members and autoers increasing dramatically, I'd begin to believe it.

Well, I think Jagex does a bit of banning everyday instead of massive bannings once per "x" amount of time. I'd be curious to know how many people Jagex ban per day in average O.o

You make it sound as if it were Nazi Propoganda back in World War Two. But you're probably right so... good for you :D

Jagex rarely uses mass bans. Mass bans are usually reserved for extreme cases of rule breaking. For example the Party Hat dupe. Other than that they usually stick to bans here and there based off reports from players and their own Mods.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apparently there's one coming up in response to the vast amounts of autoers. :twisted:

They are real, mass bannings that are publicly announced are rare, if we anger the Jagex gods too much they will smash Runescape with their holy judgement.

Look at the RSC fourlms. there is a sticky from andrew about a upcoming mass bann. :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so if you downloaded/made an autoer fell free to use it now please and shout "IM AUTOING!!!"! and dont wory nothing is going on you wont be banned and freget about the underlined text above (and maby the smilys). :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :D

they had a mass wipe for [Caution: Hack-Scam Site] which i was lucky enough to be apart of, they also banned a bunch after the knife bug. they ban poeple, but the mass bannings come after jagex figures out how to catch people abusiung a bug.

2002, 2004, whats this year, 2006? ;)

We had a "Mass" ban in 2004 which JaGeX says 3000 accounts were caught.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, not really a "Mass" ban if you ask me, when you see at least 5 level 3's hacking on Rune Essence on any given time, Rune Essence rock, or world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5 noobs * 3 shifts a day * 4 Rune Essence Rocks * 70 F2p worlds = 4200 autoers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cool. Not even 70% of the autoing accounts banned, and this is not including the WC'ers, Fishers, blah blah blah... :evil:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know RuneScape expanded a bit since then, but... Still seems like a propaganda to scare people off autoing, because it's just easier to do so rather than jabbing a steel fist in every one of their faces. :roll:

Look at the date of that sticky.

 

 

 

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

  • Author

Oh, thank you all for the replies, I get and idea now of what this is all about.

 

 

 

Yes, I think its all about ptopaganda too.

 

 

 

But on the other hand, I have never seen an autoer. You guys say they are everywhere, but Iv never seen them. It must be really hard to identify one just with your eyes, because c'mon, we all look the same when we are mining: we pik a rock, mine, mine, mine and run to bank. Everybody does the same, lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the way, Arcticrunite, your signature rules, lolol do you have hte link to that thread? I wanna see what was Arcticrunite's answer to that... :D

I love mass bannings.

i feel a mass ban will be coming up soon, too many autoers imo, but that is just my opinion

 

2004 and 2002 were the last one's if you can read the newsletter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2002, 2004, whats this year, 2006? ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think we're onto something of a pattern here! Quick, to the Batmobile! :P
