Hi,

i just got banned on 1 macro account. after that the account where i got my axes from to my macro's (lvl30-85) got banned. The macroed accounts i logged into later got banned directly.



Offence Type: Permanent Ban Offence Date: 17-Apr-2007

ardless of how they were obtained.

We have confirmed beyond doubt that this occurred, via our detailed records o
f in-game activity.

You have been deemed to have been in complete control at the time of the inci
dent.






just posting this to tell u to watch out, if 1 of ur bots get banned, should take a break from logging in

Did you delete the UID regularly?

how can i protect this from happening to me>? :confused:

uid? nop.. i dont even know what that is? please tell me fast how i can delete:)(

Yes. I don't understand this either. How can I trade, and make it less suspicious? What were you trading when you did this? Did you put like a sapphire in the other trade box or a bucket and some wheat or something?

If you trade on unsigned, will it track it?

i always have 1 account signed, and the other account unsigned in the same world to transfer items.

i traded addy axes to the accounts, i never do uneven trades, always gave a few logs for an axe.

kk, once again :)

The UID = the User Identifier. It is located in windows/.Jagex_cache_32/UID.dat.
It enables Jagex to associate your Players with your computer. If you dont delete the UID.dat regularly, ALL your Players are associated with the SAME computer. Easy enough to ban all your accounts like that.

Once you delete the UID.dat, the next time you log in signed, you will recieve a new UID.dat on your HD.
If you log in unsigned, no files will be written to your HD, effectively you recieve a session UID, that is gone once you quit the client.

I always trade with one signed client, and one unsigned client, and I always delete the UID from HD afterwards.

There is plenty of further info @ this board concerning UID's.

hope this helps. Too bad they caught you….

Hey Fakwaki…I have a question.

I just deleted the whole Jagex Cache altogether, and it still hasn't come back!

Does that mean i never have to delete the UID again?

Look in .file_store_32

So delete the whole "file_store_32" folder?

or all the folders in it?

You really don't have to do either…just delete uid.dat which is stored in the file_store_32 folder

The UID is remade each time you load a signed runescpae app.
I normally delete UID when i switch from playing on my main to my autoer.
An often when i switch from autoer to autoer, so they can associate ALL of my autoing accounts.

Yea…there is no file store 32 either.

I'm using vista, would this make a difference?

BUT If u have an UID file and play unsigned does Jagex even read it? :cool:

The UID has been sort of a mystery to me. I never mess with it. I only trade between two PC's with signed clients. I never delete the UID, I just always make sure between autoing sesions to go back out to the main page and sign into another world. Maybe that changes it, I don't know. Never had a problem with bans due to trades.

Well is it maybe possible to make it so that the UID cannot be written on your computer or everytime it is it deletes it automatically?

I just opened the uids in notepad and set them as read only, seems to be working

the first time you run the runescape client it will ask you whethere or not it is allowed to store files. you cannot play on a signed applet without it storing the uid.dat

Strange, I made the UID.dat readonly too, and it seems to be working…

Readonly has the same effect though (gets u banned), because jagex just needs to store it ONCE. The rest it just reads it and compares it to it's UID database somewhere on a server.

So readonly = false security

why would you set it readonly in the first place? deleting it takes less than a minute

I dont have a UID…

People who set the UID files to read only, please post a report of any unusual stuff.

IDK if i should do that or dont mess wit it.

I started deleting the UIDs today, before that I didn't really pay attention to them because I have two computers and traded myself through them. Now, considering Jagax says trading your brother/sister is fine should I be pretty safe?

Setting to Read Only doesn't help much if you have a unique UID stored there. When people say they are setting it to read only, I hope you are first deleting the real UID.dat, and then making a fresh, new empty UID.dat file to set as Read Only.

This may actually work. But I never do it. I just delete the UID each time I log onto a signed client (which isn't very often).

Also, there was another thread that said the UID.dat can appear in multiple folders, like .file_store_32 or .jagex_cache_32.

hello guys if i trade from my other computer to my computer and just give somthing back i am safe?

:) First off DON'T make one sided trades! Thats probably where they got you
secondly, with a brand new uid.dat(before you log into any of your players.
just change the propertys to read only, then jagex can't write to it, and you dont have to delete it anymore.

EDIT: btw i have one comp dedicated to my 'army' i have been using the same UID.DAT for several months, also they are stored in two diff places, (not very often)but if you copy your new 'fixed' file to both places, and double check propertys you should be safe, as i macro on my main i did this with both comps.i have had no ill effects.

watch out guyz…

i auto on my newbie he getz banned…
i keep deleating my UID and then 2 days latter
my main get banned lol

and some others cant think of…

but this could happen to you… :p good thing i dont really care though…
they are really cracking down!!!
i dont even auto on my main ether… and he had 0 black marks before he got banned….

i know how you feel, i used a lvl 34 account, non default clothes, to macro woodcutt on. suprisingly i managed pretyy good. my woodcutting was at 79. i had cut a whole lot of yews. it got banned though. to my suprise macroing for me was only 7.0/10 blackmarks so it was not a permanite ban. =)

cd C:\WINDOWS\
del .file_store_32\uid.dat
del .jagex_cache_32\uid.dat
del .jagex_cache_34\uid.dat
pause

If you stick that in a notepad file and save as .bat, it will delete the uid.dat files. Just wrote and tested it and its fine. You just dbl click the bat file when you want the uid's deleted.

you know you could just let your character get owned by an npc and let your main get it

haha

Where do i have to put windows/.Jagex_cache_32/UID.dat. in?

i think your just unlucky

lol i drop trade in a quiet place still no ban :) u can try a VM or trade like 4987 rune ess for 3 buckets 10 laws or something
