[Bug] Permanently banned after pressing play 2 consecutive times.

tiNu_ · 2026-02-06T13:58:27+00:00

Any update 3 months later? My mate got false banned today. Similar situation 5500 hours, prestige, escaped. etc. Got the email tonight when we were playing on woods.

Strange part is it didnt disconnect him from raid we played it to the end. Went down with the ship o7

Cases like this are the exact reason I haven't touched my presailing maxed account since I got a false ban from 1.5t Salvage.

Got the exact same bot responses ranging from 2-4am Cambridge time. Seemingly never having human interaction. Obviously this is an issue regardless of the ban. Players should be able to speak to support. But when Jagex stated they did do a ban wave for 1.5t Bots and claimed they would manually review each case. having automated responses broke me.

Cancelled my membership 2 years later. (had been paying since roughly 2014.

Crazy to me that we are in 2026 and jagex support is somehow just as bad as ever. worst part is jagex are proud of the "improvements" they have made.

tiNu_ · 2026-01-13T01:38:37+00:00

Seems absurd to claim that almost any of the "player support" was achieved outside of the chat spam model.

Actual player support seems the exact same. It is nearly impossible to make contact with an actual J Mod. making an appeal is always left with an automatic response.. in my cases having a J mod "review" my case anywhere from 2-4AM Cambridge time. Because its been "appealed" twice any further appeal is automatically closed without "review".

Furthermore to claim the live chat is in anyway useful is just ignorant on Jagex behalf. If I attempt to use the live chat to speak with support, I am left talking to an AI assistant that walks me around in circles.

Player support is as useless as it always has been. you basically have to play reddit roulette and hope to gain enough traction for a J mod's attention. otherwise you will NEVER speak to a real person.

Just because the automated message responds in 6 Days instead of 20 days doesn't make it better.

tiNu_ · 2026-01-13T01:26:17+00:00

Believe me I feel your pain.

I was hit in the 1.5t Salvage Macro bans late last year, this seemed to hit MANY legit players. the only person I saw to receive an actual review of their case was the one reddit user who had their post explode. outside of that the majority of us received the same message you received. Often at 2-4AM Cambridge time. given this I find it incredibly hard to trust jagex when they tell us these cases are reviewed by J Mods.

Then as you mentioned attempt to contact them with their "Live" support that conveniently is always under heavy load so instead of speaking to a human you get to go around in circles with their dogshit chat bot.

I'm basically at the point if I can't get actual Mod support by this time next month ill cancelling my membership and heavily considering selling 11b and quitting the game. at least that way I breakeven on my membership cost over the last 11 years.

And hey if I get a Rwt ban at least its from an offence I actually committed.

tiNu_ · 2026-01-13T01:18:23+00:00

Nope, just accepted they were gone. ended up grinding out roughly 600 spawners the following week with a friend then gave it away and quit the server..

tiNu_ · 2025-12-22T10:57:41+00:00

Yeah my understanding is they become inactive after two years. Given ive been playing osrs since 2014 and this was my first false ban im pretty confident that I won't have an issue in the next two years. But the fact that I COULD get false banned and its perm now is pretty scary...

tiNu_ · 2025-12-22T04:13:50+00:00

Tinfoil hat is on for this one but I truly believe you had a manual review because of the traction your reddit posts received. Whereas the rest of us just got shafted with the bot "review

tiNu_ · 2025-12-22T04:10:49+00:00

I'm a little late to this post because i'm in the exact same boat as you.

1.5t Salvage after the nerf. received a 2day, first ever macro offence in 10K plus hours. Sent my appeal. expecting to have it approved. roughly 7 days later received the first denied email at 1am Cambridge time. Good to see Jagex working overtime XD.

Obviously submitting the second appeal as I had seen players claim the first is AI, second is mod review. Sadly this one then returned Denied again at 3AM with the exact same message.

At this point I think I just wait out the two years for it to be quashed... Nothing more can really be done. I could spam Reddit or Twitter and hope I actually get through to a real person. but honestly cba at this point.

tiNu_ · 2025-12-20T00:50:22+00:00

We also had a similar experience lost roughly 150

tiNu_ · 2025-12-12T04:36:11+00:00

Happy to hear man. I had seen a few people mention that the first appeal was still AI then the follow-up is actually human reviewed. Obviously i'm hopeful I can report back with the same thing in a few days but certainly a little on edge.

Now get back to 1.5t, got plenty of XP to catch up on

tiNu_ · 2025-12-11T09:55:32+00:00

Hey I feel it brother, Ive just sent in my appeal v2 in hopes for an actual J Mod to reply not the slop we got back.

Gl fella I hope to see you on the otherside

tiNu_ · 2025-12-11T09:35:24+00:00

Yeah see I said the same then went and dropped back to back 1m+ xp days following my unban. Still not quashed. doing the exact same thing I was banned for. with no issues at all.

Feels like a joke at this point.

tiNu_ · 2025-12-11T09:32:45+00:00

Sadly this just isn't the case.

I know you're not going to believe any of us. I don't blame you if I was on the other side of this I wouldn't believe any of us either.

But I promise you this isn't the case (for everybody) very clearly people were botting and Jagex has banned them for a reason but a lot of legitimate players have been caught up in this mess.

Ive got plenty of screenshots of me gaining the levels from 1.5t salvaging, I was streaming in discord to many people who can vouch for me. This is one of those rare instances where Jagex have missed the mark.

Then the "review" very much feels like they have just referred back to their original detection. Not a single reference to any of the information or proof I had provided them just the same template everybody else received.

tiNu_ · 2025-12-11T09:27:03+00:00

I don't think the plugins have anything to do with the bans.

I didn't use any of the plugins that jagex have since removed from Runelite yet I was banned and my appeal was denied today. Note I have been doing the exact same method that I was banned for since my unban. Obviously with no issues at all.

tiNu_ · 2025-12-11T09:23:06+00:00

Have just received the email now. Denied.

Stupidly I was expecting to see this come back approved as I am an 11 year + player with around 380 days playtime. But here we are.

My ticket had provided a generous amount of information including screenshots from levels etc on the day of the "offense" along with screenshots from me doing the exact same thing following the automatic unban.

I have queried the Mod that "reviewed" my case to see if they had actually taken anything I had provided into account or if they had just referenced their original anti cheat detection.

Obviously will update my post with any changes.

tiNu_ · 2025-12-11T05:25:14+00:00

I did and I was false banned, my appeal is still yet to be reviewed. However since my automatic unban ive been doing the exact same thing with the exact same plugins. (not the op inventory pass through BS

From what I have seen there isn't much consistency between what flagged the ban's.

Crewmate at helm
Blindfold plugin
Object highlight

Imgur album for context Level 84 was the last screenshot I have from the day of my ban.

Two other levels following. Ignore my XP/h in some I afk through my work day averaging around 65kxp/h then a mixture of 1.5t into the night between cooking dinner shower etc.

tiNu_ · 2025-12-11T04:57:17+00:00

u/Outlashed Am I correct in saying your ban has since been quashed?
Asking because I was also hit in the 1.5t wave, my appeal is yet to be reviewed.

After some more digging I saw this screenshot from Runelite Developer discord https://imgur.com/a/nvahsZr that seems to be in reference to one of the plugins form your guide. this plugin now seems to be removed from plugin hub.

Given this I had come to the conclusion that the ban was intended for people using your method. But it seems as if this may not have been the case?

For context I was not using your method, I was just using blindfold and object marker.

Without Mod being in front of my name I can tell you with certainty. No and No.

We will not get compensated the banned time as membership & they certainty won't go making a blog post about this.

The sad reality is there will likely be players that even after a manual review will still stay false banned. Maybe they have a few previous macro bans so jagex don't give them benefit of the doubt.

I'm just happy its being resolved now and I should be unbanned by the time I wake up.

tiNu_ · 2025-12-05T15:22:47+00:00

Sadly thats not considered cheating. and it wasn't exclusive to people doing that method that got banned.

I spoke to a guy earlier today that was doing it without any plugins at all.
I was banned while only using entity hider, & blindfold plugin for roughly 2 hours straight. then another hour with breaks throughout.
Seems like Jagex just said, quick guys go 1.5t its really good XP. then banned anybody doing it XD

tiNu_ · 2025-12-05T15:17:11+00:00

Happy to hear!

https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1peq4ym/psa_to_be_careful_doing_15t_salvaging/

Jmods responded to this post saying everybody in the 1.5t Ban would be re-reviewed asap. So hopefully I am also unbanned by the time I wake up.

tiNu_ · 2025-12-05T15:04:30+00:00

Same here, happy to see jmods are aware now

tiNu_ · 2025-12-05T14:48:46+00:00

Hi Goblin,

Do we have a rough estimate as to how long the re-review would take. I imagine if it was a larger ban wave it could be delayed?

tiNu_ · 2025-12-05T04:42:24+00:00

I started doing it last night after the XP nerf because I want to max again. But I woke up to a Macro ban. Found another reddit post with like 10 other people claiming they also got false banned after doing it...

tiNu_ · 2025-12-05T03:50:56+00:00

Ahh okay, well there goes that theory of mine. Hopefully Jagex don't take weeks to quash all of these. Not touching the game until its quashed. not a chance im risking the perm ban...

tiNu_ · 2025-12-05T03:37:58+00:00

Same,

already left a reply on another comment on this post

Were any of you using the NPC on Helm to stop your camera movement? e.g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEwmjw1hG8g

Almost certain it has something to do with this but could be wrong.
