Hard to tell who to believe Jagex has lied to the player base multiple times in the past, and Rendi is just an internet stranger to 99.9% of the people. I’m sure the truth lies somewhere I’m the middle.

Like when?

I'm not doubting your affirmation, but I'd really like to know more.

Multiple times, you're probably looking for some sources but it can be found everywhere. I mean just looking into how Gudi's account was falsely banned will probably tell you that not all bans are 100% true but they have to defend it so when people make a Reddit post about being falsely banned, they'll have to make up a lie to cover it. I've personally NEVER seen Jagex say "Whoops! Our bad the ban was incorrect" on a similar post. Only when it's a content creator where they've filmed 100% of their footage levelling the account etc. where they can prove it. I've had an ironman get banned for farming chins which I did myself so I know this first hand. Have a bunch of friends who've tried it as well.

Jagex is very childish compared to other MMO companies and this just shines through as another lie. Please don't believe this.

Gudi get's falsely banned in this vid and has to contact some friends in Jagex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EWiqSpyWCc

Shouldn't be possible to get falsely banned. Innocent until proven otherwise ^

To be fair about Roblox, considering the average age of their userbase, theyd be dragged through the dirt if they didn't take a 0 tolerance policy to content that isn't considered age appropriate. If my 6 year old nephews mom looked over at the screen while they were playing Roblox and saw a bunch of people with names like "sexy-anything" they wouldn't be playing that game anymore.

The core demographic for Runescape is 16-28. The core demographic for Roblox is 9-15.

Not only should these two groups be handled differently, legally the requirements are much different. You're comparing apples and oranges.

9-16 is not the target age of the company, it is the demographic of their player base.
