Have You Been Banned
This poll is to find out various ban rates for different bots/skills/locations
If the same thread exists elsewhere then tell me and I can close the thread.
Please post If you have had accounts banned, what bot they were using when they were banned, what scripts they were running (If banned running Simba), What skills they were botting, and where they were botting that skill.
Feel free to not answer certain information should you feel you shouldn't.

I've never been banned. Been using Simba on multiple accounts for a total of thousands of hours, a lot of those accounts were trial accounts too which supposedly have a higher ban rate. I've used Epicbot's Livid Farm script before (was the only script i used from them), that was the only other bot I've used other than Simba. I don't use Powerbot because I simply don't trust them. Botting is pretty safe though if you use Simba, ban rate and hack rate are pretty low ;)

I was using reflections on RSBots when my account got rolled back pretty bad.
Never banned though. *knocks on wood*
I have never been banned in any accounts. I have used epic bot 24/7 rsbuddy and powerbot too. and now I am more careful so I am stick to simba
Never got banned on my one and only main. Created that account in 2006, and still going strong ;)
Haha wow, I thought there'd be more. I've never been banned, pretty new to botting though.

Got 3 accounts banned, 2 mining pures in f2p back in rsbuddy days and a decent account I had. Botted in stupid places for the miners to make decent cash and the other guy got banned for losing his membership, going to f2p for not even 5 minutes and being banned while standing in varrock. Idk what the deal was with him.
My main, second account, and f2p pure are all going strong and will stay that way.
Had a few close calls and roll backs on skiller accounts but nothing serious.

I got banned for bad language and impersonating a mod.. they did not have any evidence of this, however..
I know why they didn't too, it was because the account that got banned for it, was a bot.. that has NEVER talked before, that was the only account I ever got banned on out of hundreds and I only have ever used simba
I still go to the never been banned for botting category, I've never been caught on any type of botting

The last time I was banned I was using Aryan to slaughter scorpions in the Dwarf Mines, years and years ago. Before that, the last time I was banned was for walking over water and through fences in RSC.
Never caught botting after Aryan. ;)
If anyone with the appropriate magic powers to change polls drops by, could they add a "never been banned" option to the poll? Thanks :D

never got banned i have been using powerbot, rsbuddy, epic bot (long time ago) and now simba and sometimes for special bots powerbot
Got banned for using a wc for 6 hours a day on powerbot. Then the bot stuffed up and got stuck in the maze for 6 hours.
Banned 4 years ago for using a yew cutter. Banned 3,5 years ago for using ghost mouse to get 94 magic which I actually achieved, then I got banned for 14 days while I was on holiday :garfield:
Since then I've never been banned :P
Never had a ban or a roll-back, been botting for years now, with a combination of java and colour bots. Always been pretty cautious, though.

Have never been banned, and only hacked for around 3m once. I can honestly say that I have used every major bot client to date. The exception, though, was when I was determined to get 99 fishing. I was at 91, at the fishing guild fishing sharks, using rsbuddy maybe 20 hours a day 7 days a week. Logged on one morning to start the old routine and found myself in lumby with all stats over 40 nerfed down a single skill level. I just shrugged it off and played legit for a bit before quitting for several months.

Been botting for a year w/ Simba and PB, never banned.
e: Just realized this was a gravedig D: dang newcomers!
Yeah, sometimes this forum section puts threads not by date :p
I've been banned for macroing with Scar and trading between my accounts..
I've only received 1 technical macroing ban in my history of botting, and that was very recent and not an actual ban. I was muted by a pmod for spamming with an autotyper, the offense was basically automatically quashed once I put in an appeal. (It was a mute btw, but macroing was the evidence)
Bots on 07 that I've ran simba/wbot/tribot/garyshood/murgee autoswitcher(last one for fast and flexible shop trading when I needed it.)

How have people got banned from Simba? The only way to detect it is manual bans (which are extremely rare) and also from gathering client information, which is illegal in the UK and falls under the computer misuse act if I'm accurate. Anyway I've ram farms reaching over 200m/day EoC and reached 20m/day 07 when it was around an exchange rate of 1:30 (Sorry I know farming is frowned upon here). But never received any bans, rollbacks, or anything of the sort using Simba, however I have had a few accounts banned recently from testing out Powerbot back in RSBot4 near the end when it became detectable, and not used RSBot5 yet and not planning to. If you're interested it is still 100% ban on PB atm.

I wonder would it make a difference if people used Simba and bot on the web browser, than botting with SMART?

Maybe, it's possible and would make sense as they wouldn't be able to detect the client, if that's what they're doing. But everything I have ever botted was using SMART as I don't have the patience / it uses way more resources to use VMs

It is incredibly easy to detect if people are botting with Simba, though only when those people are using poorly constructed scripts utilising primitive input controls which produce non-human-like characteristics. The same applies for many other bot clients that do not directly (and illegally) interfere with the object code of the Runescape client (i.e. "injection").

Yeah, I guess I overlooked that when I made this post. Not everyone has the time / knowledge to make a script with sufficient failsafes and more human-like methods.

I had a noob account banned once using Rsbuddy. I was mining like there was no tomorrow, then cancelled membership and BAM 2 days later banned. It was like they were happy me botting as long as I was paying. It had a couple of 99s, but I pretty much looted the bank before it went f2p :)
Never had any problems at all with Simba, all my f2p accounts have been safe too :)

Never banned, used all kinds of bots, powerbot mainly and the old nexus bot.
Botted a 2.1k total main, a zerker with high stats, pure… I have botted my main 24/7 for about a month with a few hour breaks (Frost dragons). Was pulling 90hr proggies, no problems.
My only account that has been punished was a fresh level 3 skiller that I botted fishing on, botted sharks at fishing guild 12-20 hrs per day and got reset to 10 fishing at 93. That's it. And that was from Powerbot.
I'm fairly careful with my main on 07 now but I still use OSBot, HexBotEE and Simba ;)
My guess is don't use shit scripts, that look very botlike and are unhumanly fast and don't run them too much, I'd say up to 12hrs a day is fairly safe.

I been banned many times but only one time it might have been because of scar/simba. I was testing an unfinished scar script when it happened but it might have been because I used rsbot earlier on that account. And only once I have been unbanned. That was when I appealed on the forums. It was some sort of ban appealing thread made by jagex back then.

I have never been banned, but I figured with trying to determine statistics and such, my stats may be of use?
I botted Red chins from 63-99 hunting. 5-14 hrs a day, every other day usually. On the days I was not botting that long, I would bot 1 hour, then go do slayer, or bot magic. I botted 75-96 magic using stun alching. I haven't been banned yet. I used RSbuddy (back when it was a thing) and powerbot to bot my hunting and magic. I just recently swapped over to villavu (I had no idea it existed till someone said something about it on the powerbot forums). I hope this may help any statistics you may be gathering :)

It is safe to bot as long as the script has a good antiban/break system. something that keeps you
off a loop. and also failsafe to prevent your account from going into a infinite loop when it fails
that sh*t gets your account banned :).

Probably i will be the most pesimistic there as i am irl.
Using simba and smart lost over 40 accounts so far, 80-90% of them running green dragons especially, since other ones seems way way less likely to get you banned. I think jagex monitors them soo widely. At one point got 90 minutes lifespan of a bot, made it only use failsafe once then quit script, because like i noticced and said previously if main method fails and you use your second every other time after trying first one at first its automatic ban within a hour or so. There is no room for any unecessary repeat at all. Now last 2weeks werent botting cause last ban wave hit me so hard lost like 15 account in a week. Remaking script once again now trying to implement something similar to biometrics, because during times i runned prolonged times no account which runned over 6 hours a day had survived. It means jagex gets alot of ammount of data and patterns seems the same. Before that massive ban wave had never been banned without getting stuck in a loop for prolonged times, maybe was too confident jagex couldnt ban people. Was even running ridiculous test runs like do banking routine run to dragons kill one then go bank to see if walking/running is ok haha never got banned of that even if one time it used to make 400 trips (100 glories) in one set. But once got banned worldhopping like 11 hours a day…..Jagex is smart and most of the times he doesnt ban but maybe watches your script behaviour and adds in databaze. Sow when it sees similar patterns for more than 1 account it bans it. Basicly it catches bot before release and when you start botting it hits with bans. Now i dont use those testing methods, just try to do normal runs, and so far atleast test account is ok. It can be explained why after remake bots survive like 3 weeks but when bans starts some will get in 90 minutes of botting time. Literry start fresh bot who never botted before, eat lunch and find its banned…
But if i make them survive long at green ones it means i know how to make nearly perfect scripts for other better moneymaking activities like qbd or frost drags, which i have accounts for but dont wana risk cause of ban wave like had before i can lose them all within week….

Multiple accounts bad it sucks but it happens.
From: cosmasjdz
Probably i will be the most pesimistic there as i am irl.
Using simba and smart lost over 40 accounts so far, 80-90% of them running green dragons especially, since other ones seems way way less likely to get you banned. I think jagex monitors them soo widely. At one point got 90 minutes lifespan of a bot, made it only use failsafe once then quit script, because like i noticced and said previously if main method fails and you use your second every other time after trying first one at first its automatic ban within a hour or so. There is no room for any unecessary repeat at all. Now last 2weeks werent botting cause last ban wave hit me so hard lost like 15 account in a week. Remaking script once again now trying to implement something similar to biometrics, because during times i runned prolonged times no account which runned over 6 hours a day had survived. It means jagex gets alot of ammount of data and patterns seems the same. Before that massive ban wave had never been banned without getting stuck in a loop for prolonged times, maybe was too confident jagex couldnt ban people. Was even running ridiculous test runs like do banking routine run to dragons kill one then go bank to see if walking/running is ok haha never got banned of that even if one time it used to make 400 trips (100 glories) in one set. But once got banned worldhopping like 11 hours a day…..Jagex is smart and most of the times he doesnt ban but maybe watches your script behaviour and adds in databaze. Sow when it sees similar patterns for more than 1 account it bans it. Basicly it catches bot before release and when you start botting it hits with bans. Now i dont use those testing methods, just try to do normal runs, and so far atleast test account is ok. It can be explained why after remake bots survive like 3 weeks but when bans starts some will get in 90 minutes of botting time.

I doubt they'd ban a qbd bot as noone would be able to report one; so unless you're stuck in a loop (or dead and just randomly thrashing about lumbridge) you should be fine. Green Drag bots get banned because many people go green drag bot hunting + it's an obvious goldfarming place. Frost Dragons would probably be risky for the same reason as people notice bots there and get really mad when botters ruin their good moneymaking methods.
So far it looks like I have escaped the banwave; however, most of the stuff I was botting recently was not too lucrative and generally stuff people afk for: divination, runespan, fishing

qbd's been hit with bans before, jagex actively monitors bosses whenever there's a noticeable increase in the number of people farming it. don't forget that 1 bot = many legit players (in playtime), thus even a small farm can been seen on jagex's end as a noticeable % increase

IDK if I have already posted here but I have gotten a rollback on a account using powerbot. What was weird was they even rolled back my mouse recorder auto mining I had done 6 months+ before.

If is is true then jagex just confirmed my feeling of being bots detected in developement phase. Also for storing information for prolonged times to compare to other people behaviour at the same situation. So need to take much care in developement not to act weird.
Maybe in the future we will have rsps for testing scripts ?:)

I can remember it been posted on Lilys QBD thread, and she denied any of her accounts getting banned. Also, the grammar is terrible, and even changes from he/she to her not his/her

I recommended that you take your questions regarding the legitimacy of the picture to jake and gave you a link to the original post, have you already exhausted that option? an argument between you and I regarding the validity of the picture would be highly subjective and thus most likely a waste
I do have a lot to say though, a little about what you're saying regarding the picture and a lot regarding the original point (qbd being immune due to players not seeing you bot). If you'd like to discuss this further, I'd be very open to doing so via skype (less effort for me than typing up [refined] posts on here & more timely). If interested, you can pm me for my skype and add me / pm me yours and I'll add you.

Banned on my Ironman.
I botted maybe 12 hours a day at most some times. I last used a guy's oak chopping script, was planning to get construction up. Got 3,000 oak logs, started doing a quest, logged out in the middle, came back from class, instant dc, banned.
The stats on it were almost good enough for it to get to Elf City, so it was a pretty big loss. All those freaking quests I did for nothing lol.

That's the first ban I've heard of for the Ironman mode. With that you could pretty much rule out them monitoring you based on popular gold-farming methods.

Yea I've heard other people also telling that Jagex just reset their acc with all stats to 1 including constitution. They don't seem to take the time to look what stats are botted and only reverse them.

Jalmar

Sadly my main was banned about a year ago (when I didn't play the game), probably due to botting on my other accounts. Never botted on my main or traded botted goods to my main. Tried appealing but I don't have much hope in that. Program used: powerbot
Play carefully, people!
And good luck.
(edit: first post ever, registered randomly around three years ago, found my way here again! :D)

Tons over the years. The first account was from SCAR for sure, I forget what it was…probably yew cutting or something.
After that I branched out and started using java based bots, specifically iBot (later called Nexus) and the Ares revive in nexus etc. Probably 3 accounts banned total, atleast one being a nearly maxed main.
Its always a shitty feeling but somehow you always get drawn back in. I've always thought to myself, it makes so much more damn sense to just macro for only 2 hours a day and after a year have several maxed stats. Safe. Patience is a virtue.

Powerbot has always had a high ban rate. Good to see you havent lost EVERYTHING though.
Hope to see you here now!

Try testing your script with a smirf/mule/seperate account, as bug worthy scripts have high ban rates.

powerbot RS3 - Had about 10+ accounts banned within 10 minutes. Sometimes, character creation would last longer than the bot.
Epic bot RS3 - Main banned 2400 skill total 3 years ago.
SIMBA - Never, but only started using it 3 days ago.
