It's been almost 3 years since I got banned for macroing, as you can see here:

I was wondering if Jagex ever removes bans such as that, after a set period of time?

I used up my appeals long ago, so I cannot appeal it again.

Also, 2k.

gratz on the 2k!

It appears that most get their accounts back after five years. Thats priviledge hasn't been applied to my banned chars :) So, there is definately a setting somewhere telling to NEVER unban an account.

Thanks :)

Well I don't actually need the account I just wanted to see if I could get it back, so its not bad if I don't. The account got banned when Jagex was under control of someone else, not the person who controls Jagex at the moment (correct me if I am wrong) and they had the "If you macro you will not get banned and not unbanned" phase happening then so there is a pretty big chance that I won't get it back :(

They did it twice and more (with account review thread and the banned account reinstatement).

In 2008 ish they made the change to their banned and appeal system, which unbanned some accounts (Macroing).

In 2009 again they made change to the bann and appeal system, this time they took out black mark, which again unbanned some accounts (Macroing).

In 2010 They introduced account review thread, which again unbanned some accounts (Macroing).

In 2011 They Introduced the banned account reinstatement, which lets player pay to get their account unbanned with a GP removal.

In 2012, BAR is likely to return again.

Whatever happened to being able to pay them to re-instate your account back to you depending on what terms it was banned? I remember reading this a while ago somewhere... Apparently they'll put like -30$ credit on your account and to log into it once again you'd pay that off, and voila unbanned, I actually know a few people who had this work for them and they were contacted by jagex themselves, after posting in some thread on RS Forums.

Back in the day I used a macro (literally a mouse movement recorder) to try and chop Yews and I got a blackmark, since then and this is my main the mark simply diminished I don't know if it was a change of heart or maybe my complaint how I was going to become Member in the coming weeks and I wanted a clean slate.:p

It really depends on what bot you used.
I had one account that unbanned from perm ban 3 times, and it was all simba/scar
One pure that got caught in 2009 and has been banned since was rsbots.net's shitty soul war bot.

I got banned back in 2006 on my main.

The ban was then lifted in 2008.

If you want it back, you can send an email to parents@jagex.com
If you use proper grammer and if you are nice there is a very good chance they unbann you :)

I doubt this will work. Who is even there in the administration from the parents@jagex.com readers... I mean what, is a parent really going to contact jagex if their son or daughter had their account banned for whatever reason? I don't think they'll care so much.

You'd be surprised, now days parents think "their child does no wrong", and will blame JageX for not allowing their child to play (Even if the kid was in the wrong).

With all due respect, what kind of company really cares what a parent thinks or not. An additional 5$ to them won't be much, unless they're relying on constant inflow of new members being those old ones which were banned and want to get back into the game. Seems dumb to me, even if they are on that path. Anyway, I may even give it a try... What would one parent write about his son's account who was macro'ed back in the day... Bunch of blabber about maturity and how he is ready to play the game 'fair?'. Goodness, I'm not good at this lying game.

Parents are crazy, it just takes one to change how everything works. I'm not saying they will actually do it, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

More beggining to think that a crazy parent e-mail would be much more effective than a nice approach... Child got in an accident, is paralyzed(not that this is funny in any way), forced to stay at home, is in love with RuneScape however his/her accounts are banned. Hmmmm, this could be going somewhere, lol. I shall post back if I EVER get an answer back from them.

No, don't talk about physical accidents, just say that you are breaking up with your husband and the family is in a little crisis & you remember how infatuated your son was with the game, you feel that this would be a good distraction for him, to keep the affect on him through the stress of the breakup from affecting him too negatively blah blah blah and mention how much you appreciated their help.

Paralysed shit sounds like a 10 year old thought of it, you need show a little Emotional Quotient when you email then and an air of maturity and understanding.

I only had the chance to appeal for this account. I have an old main banned from macroing and also a beast pure for bug abbuse(tryed duping phats how stupid was i -.-) They are still banned from 2006. But not this baby.
It was originaly banned for macroing(Got banned for using Aryan and the fishing script) But then at 2010 it changed to manual permanent ban for some reason and i got it unbanned.

I had a lvl 45 with around 90 magic, 45m + santa hat, EDIT: Banned Jan 2007, i just checked. Still not unbanned. However that was totally understandable since I used a simple program called ghost mouse to record my mouse movment to alch. The stupid thing i did, was while it was doing the alching, I would be typing and talking to people. So it was pretty much ASKING to be banned. Talking while not missing a single alch hit, well DUH what does that tell ya. HAha oh well.

EDIT: i also had one other account banned perm... but a friend of mine somehow got it unbanned. He told me he knew someone in jagex. It also had a santa hat on it. One day I totaly forgot about the account and tried logging in just for fun. And I saw that it was unbanned and my bank pin was 10hours from being deleted. So i got my santa back xD haha. Too bad i lost contact with this friend. Could have asked to get the one italked above unbanned as well.

Good luck getting that unbanned. I got one banned for botting on that I didn't bot on. I botted a junk account and they banned one of my mains whereas a friend botted his main, got a macroing major offense and only 14 day ban. Also, don't count on being able to pay to get your account back. I was told by Mod Serb that it was a test to see how well it worked and they won't be doing it again. I just hope they come out with some type of probation thing where you get either an xp cap for a day or they cut down the amount you get but without a cap.

Sorry to hear about the ban. I did get banned on one of my mains back in the day, 2007 I believe. It was a Permanent ban, however, after a 2 week wait, I took a look at my ban meter and the ban statement and it said it was Quashed. So I dont know whether you'll be lucky like and a few others that have stated above or you might stay banned =/

Whatever it is, wish you the best of luck!

Hi ,

Thanks for contacting us to appeal your ban for the account with the login **** and the character name ****.

In your appeal you've indicated that the reason for your ban was for macroing.

Many third party software websites and applications contain keyloggers, trojans and viruses which can put your personal details at risk. Macroing also detracts from the intended experience of RuneScape by also offering an unfair advantage to those that use them. Learn more.

After a comprehensive review there is sufficient evidence to suggest the offence was applied correctly and normally would not return this account to play.

However we understand people change and as significant time has passed, in this extremely rare case I believe you may have learned from your previous mistakes so would like to offer you one, final chance to prove that you can follow the Rules of RuneScape. Do take note that should another serious offence be committed, we will not review any future appeals and your account will remain permanently banned.

Before you get back to your RuneScape adventures, do remember that as described in our terms and conditions, the account creator is responsible for the account's behaviour so please follow our advice to help keep your account secure in future.

*Please note: This message has been sent from an email address that does not accept incoming mail. If you need further help, check out our online support centre.*
