Tigerzcrown Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I haven't played on my main account (old school runescape) for at least a year.Though, when i try to login, it says ''Your account has been disabled. Please check your message-centre for details.''Is this a ban? Because i believe i didn't do anything bad against the rules...Someone help and explain?

Arceus Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It could be some sort of ban, though more likely it was locked for suspected hijacking by another party. I do suggest that you follow their instructions and access your message center through the website and have a look. If there's nothing there, maybe send a technical ticket and explain the issue to them (fill in the additional info box mainly)?

Ammako Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 When an account gets locked for suspected hijacking it specifically says that the account has been locked. Disabled is for banned accounts. Your account would have gotten hacked while you weren't playing and was botted on + subsequently banned. You'll have to log onto your account on the main website and send a ban appeal. Supposed to take up to 28 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get possibly unbanned or for it to get reviewed by a staff?This is so ridiculous... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will not be able to post on the Forums until this ban has ended or been lifted.Please refer to the Wiki for more information. Then i do believe i was hacked.

We don't currently share any evidence we hold relating to this type of rule breaking, as to do so may compromise our detection methods. Guess thats my account gone forever. Great.

Arceus Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Well then...assuming you weren't on the account on or around that time, it seems likely that someone either hijacked and sold the stuff or used it as an adbot to advertise their website. It's up to you, you try pestering them with tweets and emails trying to get them to check IP addresses and explain that it wasn't you. It may succeed or may not - I don't have any idea as to the chances, just that it has happened both ways in the past. The ban appeal Ammako mentioned says that they won't consider appeals for real world trading and doesn't allow any space for comments - again you can try but I'd assume an automated system just throws it into the trash anyway since yours indicates RWT.

Ammako Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Kinda dumb that they'd allow appealing bans because they know people get hacked and banned from botting by the hijacker but they don't even bother considering that the hijacker can do other things other than botting to get the account banned. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
