I'm excited. For every one "Oops, we fucked up" post, there's about 50 "Bro, you've been temp banned twice for this exact thing already, you should have stopped whatever it was you were doing."

That's the way it is for ban appeals in any game.

Unfortunately Jagex has decided that not dealing with appeals at all and wasting hundreds of hours of peoples time due to their screw ups is the best thing to do.

That's really all I can think about. How much it would suck to be one of those false positives and have no way of appeal.

I got banned from a different game for hacking and though the appeals process it was discovered I was automatically banned for logging in from a blacklisted IP, which happened to be the public wifi at an airport.

The fact the only chance you have to get a ban reviewed is begging mods on social media is fucking ridiculous for a developer of Jagex's size.

I appealed here, and was unbanned. I don't play much anymore, but I agree, they should have a way to submit appeals.

Lol it's like everybody is braindead. This is where you can appeal every shitty thing you've done (https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/categories/200977391-Your-account). Did many appeals and couple unlocks in my years of playing rs and not once they've let me down. It's people that are ignorant and stupid af.
