SRL Archive - RS has been updated.

As part of our focus on the RuneScape community, we’ve transformed our offence system; we’ve also made some changes to the Rules of RuneScape. Most importantly, many offences will now expire after 12 months.

The main reason we’ve done this is because we accept that many people learn from their previous mistakes, especially small offences committed long ago. This means that if you have an account that had offences on it, it’s entirely possible that they’ve been removed!

To support this, we no longer issue black marks, we simply record the offences themselves. If you log into the Offence Appeals page, you’ll see two pillars: one records offences that can result in being banned, the other records offences that can result in being muted. It should now be much simpler to see your account’s status and where you stand.

If you have an account that is still banned or muted after today, we’re allowing you another chance to submit an appeal. Our Player Support team will then reassess your offences and decide whether to remove some or all of them.

Furthermore, we have changed the system to allow players who have had their accounts stolen a chance to appeal offences that occurred while it was hijacked. Typically, this happened because the hacker unsuccessfully appealed, leaving the real owner with no chance to appeal for themselves. If you have ever had membership on the account and have built up a significant amount of game time, you’ll have another chance to appeal after 21 days.

The Rules of RuneScape

We’ve updated the way the rules are organised to make it simpler for you to report abuse and to keep yourself free of offences. The rules are now organised under three general headings (click here to read about the rules in full):

• Honour
Offences related to cheating (like scamming, macroing, real-world trading, etc.)
• Respect
Offences related to inappropriate behaviour (like obscene language, discrimination, bullying, etc.)
• Security
Offences related to real-world safety and security threats (like asking for real-life contact details, website advertising, etc.)

To help out with this, we’ll also be updating the in-game report abuse feature. You’ll then see two screens – one for entering the player’s name, and another for selecting the rule they’ve broken.

Due to the size of this project, we’ve launched all of the website features today, while the in-game interface will be released with this week's server reboot.

Final Note

If you receive a ban or mute in-game, this will also prevent you from using the forums. Equally, if you receive a forum ban, you’ll be muted in-game. This is because we believe that players should be treated equally whether they’re playing the game or posting on the forums.

Please note that because of the changes to how different offences are treated, it’s possible that any ban or mute you are currently affected by may have changed. For example, if you had three days left of a five-day mute yesterday, today you could have five days left of a ten-day mute, or one day left of a three-day mute.

Yay, prepare to be bombed with unban requests, Jagex.

Yea,i realized that to. All the appeals would come at once XD

No longer a way to apologise?

Quite nice, makes it easier to sell accounts, no-one asking about blackmarks.

My question is, if we have perma0banned account and we wait a year will they be unbanned? Even for macroing?

Maybe they are doing this because they are loosing players and they don't want the "Currently 123,456 people playing" to drop down below 100K :O

If somone wanne now how it looks now:
btw, i don't know if its new, but did you know there are different types of macroing now?
(i'm banned for lower version of macroing xd )

Dude, bottom of first post :P

LOLOLOLOLOl I was banned for major!:norris:

been botting on and off for three years now and dont have a single offence :p
giggidy :D

Btw, we now got new offences and rules! No Rule 7 anymore, it's called Rule Honour now. And we gotta protect our Honour.
And the macroing offences are divided in two new categories, Macroing Major and Macroing Minor. And you can now be banned, but not muted!
This is really getting great :D

Yay, I got no Blackmarks now!

Do you guys think that they are stricter, or more like allowing us to macro now?

^^ DEFINITELY

I got perm banned for macroing about 1.5 years ago (lv 92 combat, about 1400 total I think), just recently got a Last Chance back because of the Appeal Thread thing. Now, NO OFFENCES! It was 'Quashed' :D



EDIT: None of my other 5 (F2P) autoers were unbanned :\

Ye…i got manually banned, in other words, i think im fucked lol. lets try the appeal though :P

I went from having 9.8 BM to 0! wooot! 1 year is a long time though.

So does this mean I can appeal bans with n/a for the expiration date?

So basically everything is in the muted pillar except for autoing? And what does quashed mean? I looked at my account, and apperently some of the bans got 'quashed'.

what does quashed mean?

Basically accepting a appeal without you writing an appeal XD

I'm gonna see if appeals are easier now…

I'm guessing Quashed would be aka Expired.

I wonder why some of them never expire :/

crap.

all my offences say minor, my pillar isnt all the way red, and i'm still banned.

I BLAME MARKUS!

gay, It says

Your account is in the green zone. Well done! You currently have no bans or mutes on your account. If you continue to abide by the rules in the future you will not receive any bans or mutes

^ yet it still says your account has been disabled… :(

edit : &password scamming -> like 2 years ago&

hold on, let me gather myself….

Should I appeal my macroing offence as:

"I think Customer Support has made a mistake"
or
"Someone else had access to my account"?

Rofl, Jagx FAIL? They claim that I'm perm banned but I can still log on? rofl… Prolly cuz I had like 9.6 BM's rofl… So sad that my F2P pkers (yes pkers I have had over 5 pkers banned) but they are not unbanned :'( Will they be unbanned after 1 year has passed?! I spent sooooooooooo much time on them! (yeah right! rofl, so much time auto-ing them! TY Narcle and Monk for the Pwnzage scripts! [Forefeathers + Narcle Auto-Fighter] hehe )

Youtube: Over Z Lim1t - That's me! :D

zasz, have you seen if your account is simply locked? They lock it when they think it's in someone else's hands, and you can simply unlock it. See if you can.

They usually accept like alot of people, and give a lot of people a other chance.

My ban was of 1 week, but I dont like the mark, so I will appeal, luck people :)

Well both my toons my 126 main and my 99 rune pure were banned for phishing around a bil from random players and both used to be members 2 years ago, hoping for an unban :\

Been pending for 5 days now

Is it true that perm ban always for autoing?

Nah i had 5 blackmarks once for auto buying water runes with a dodgy script, lol.
3 day ban.

Got 30 mil back on one account from the age of Gold Farmer Scamming.

Blast you all, I'm still waiting, think its been 7 or 8 days.
