So apparently this is a new message that Jagex is giving to botters/Gold farmers.

Had a great laugh

Anyone else remember the days when they took the game more serious and the threat of bots serious? No warnings, just on-sight banning. Harsh as it may be I had more respect for them then because insta-banning players showed they were more dedicated to keeping the game clean than laying down the red carpet for paying customers. Now there's this 3-strike rule, as they desperately trying to warn a person that they've been caught to stop. Has their userbase really fallen that low? :unsure:

oh no!!!!!!

From: hoodz

plz no jagex anything but that I don't know what I'd do for a whole week without buying spins!

Saw this on powerbot yesterday! Was a good laugh:d

No! Not free useless cosmetic items for a week!

"idiots" say the idiots.

I'll be the first to not post a comment about not being able to use SOF

I think this would scare the crap out of me, I would probably never bot again with that kind of popup. I'm being totally serious here.
Jagex is really stepping up their game.. me afraid, mucho afraido

Wasn't this new back when when they first rolled out Botwatch?

E: Found a post from nearly a year ago explaining it, so nothing new to be scared of

Except I'v never heard of this message before:/ and JD theres no need to be scared. If worried then use throw aways :P

It's the naming and shaming in the chat thats the worst, apparently it can also do it in a clan chat too

I didn't know about this, and Im sure others haven't seen this before
My point is that hardly anyone got this message before, or even posted info about this before on botting sites.

Before it was a mix between either
A. You get caught, and its a 7 day, 2nd time is a 14 day, 3rd time is perm
B. You get caught, and its a permanent ban
C. some other sort of punishment

Yes that is true

For proof that the person wasn't botting they should have taken a full screen picture, not getting the RS client in the picture makes them seem like they are using a client.

They still do on sight bans…like 5000000 a day. They just do these every once in a while. tense why they are so RARE. Only seen this a few times

Yes that is true

The bans I'v had have been
Account 1:
-24 hour
-48 hour

Account 2:
-Same as account one

Account 3:
-Perm first offence

Account 4:
-48 hours

From: silent joy
botting on rs made it what it is today, huge

except the game isn't that huge compared to what it was before this summer or EOC

Intresting new tactic, better than a temp ban I guess :P, what does it say on your account status in account management?

The link in your original post doesen't work anymore either. :|
