There was a contest held here a few years(?) ago where members attempted to find the best way to detect whether or not Simba was being used to cheat in RuneScape.
Bottom line is that there are a hundred-and-one ways to detect every bot, including Simba. It just so happens that we are quite adept at flying under Jagex's radar.
I wouldn't exactly say that chain-banning never happens, but using Simba will undoubtedly cut down on bans in general.
Proxies are, in my opinion, completely useless. Doesn't matter what bot you use, Jagex does not perform bans on a basis of IP address.
Now we've got the questions out of the way; welcome to SRL! I'm KeepBotting. Feel free to PM me, add my Skype, or highlight me in IRC if you have any questions (about anything).
