Not sure where to post this, but this is related to the topic "bann" so.

I don't get what Jagex sent me. ;/

[B]Rule 7 - Macroing[/B]
You must not attempt to use other programs (e.g. bots, macros or autominers) in conjunction with our games to give yourself an unfair advantage at the game. [I]You also may not circumvent any of our mechanisms designed to log out inactive users automatically.[/I]

The italicized what the heck does Jagex mean?

Other Bs that was below the above.

Related Questions
Below are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule.


Why do we have this rule?

Firstly macroing ruins the game for everyone else. We don't want some players having an unfair advantage and filling up all the best training spots with bots. This game is designed to be enjoyed by humans, not bots. In the past when we have not enforced this rule, we have rapidly found it quickly spoils the game, and players themselves start demanding that we enforce it. So now we enforce it thoroughly. Secondly we don't want players to download macro software from untrusted sources that can, and often do, contain keyloggers, trojans and viruses. Many players have had their accounts stolen because they have inadvertently installed hacking software on their machines.

How does the new macro detection system work?

Our new macro detection system monitors activity on our servers and detects suspicious behaviour. This evidence is reviewed by our team of experts who either confirm or reject the systems analysis. Jagex will not reveal the exact mechanics of how this system works because this would make circumvention easier.

What type of third party software counts as an unfair advantage?

This includes, but is not limited to the following 3rd party programs:

Programs that attempt to communicate directly with the RuneScape game worlds.

Programs that monitor, modify or decrypt the communications between the RuneScape client and the RuneScape worlds.

Programs that generate input to the RuneScape client. This includes programs that automatically move the mouse pointer or generate mouse clicks or key presses.

Modified versions of the RuneScape client. Reverse engineering the RuneScape client is strictly prohibited. Using a modified version of the RuneScape client is not permitted.



Will I be able to appeal against a ban for macroing?

Our policy has always been to not tolerate any form of cheating. We do not ban accounts lightly. Significant evidence is always collected before any action is taken against a player. We will not reveal the evidence that we have collected, since most cheats only want to know the evidence so that they can avoid getting caught the next time.

What is AFK Training?

AFK training is Away From Keyboard training. Whilst you are playing on RuneScape, you must be at the computer. Away from keyboard training is not allowed, and you should log out when you leave the computer.

To keep RuneScape enjoyable for everyone please observe and follow this rule. We will not tolerate disruptive players, and if you break our rules your account is likely to be banned. Members who are banned for breaking our rules are not entitled to any sort of refund.

that means (i think) that u weren't doing anything (a action) and u werent logging out, due to

clicking randomly? moving screen? a stay logged in script? perhaps a script that screwed up?

Circumvent basicly means to bypass.

K, thanks. So basically don't stay online if your not playing Runescape?

Must be when I tested a bad script out. From rstools or something.
