Post subject:  Dealing with Bots - An Experiment
This is basically an experiment to see what percentage of bots Jagex ban/rollback
Along with every name below I will include a picture of their stats at time of reporting and I will link their name to their current stats for easy checking later on.
We will check back on them in a week to see if they have been banned or rollbacked.
Let the experiment begin!

I will be adding new names on a daily basis.

Feel free to post predictions/discuss below

Sir TBone (Stat Picture) No Ban/Rollback
l Z E R K (Stat Picture) No Ban/Rollback

May 23rd:
No names for today

May 24th:
No names for today, will try to get some for tomorrow

May 25th:
No names again for today,will probably start this up again when I get membership

May 28th: Think I'm just giving up on this thing, if no bots are banned from the ones I reported on the 22nd I'm finished with this experiment and I think its safe to say Jagex does next to nothing about bots.

May 31st: The experiment is over and the results are disappointing and pathetic.

June 3rd: Whoa some bans are starting to appear!, took Jagex long enough...Let's see how this plays out. Might actually continue this thing if a significant amount are banned, maybe around 5 or so.

June 5th: Looks like Sods Guy 6 got his account back,now it's just rollbacked

June 8th: 808HiLyF Banned!

This is how well they handle botters;

Before i let him inside the building he was on the outside of it trying to pickpocket the knight I'd trapped in there. When i accidently let him in i killed the knight and he instantly tried to get that one instead resulting in him running around the room getting no where.

And these are all the 99s this cheat has gained;
Attack
Strength
Defence
Hits
Ranged
Prayer
Magic
cooking
woodcutting
fletching
fishing
firemaking
mining
agility

And soon to be thieving i would imagine. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and say he got all those legit and is just botting this one skill but lets face it thieving is one of the easiest skills in the game he wouldn't **** away all that work for an easy skill unless he didn't work for any of it.

edit: Lol yup hes gone up thieving levels since i last saw him. Brilliant work Jagex. I should also say i reported him there and then.

What!? How can Jagex do nothing about this! This is blasphemy! This is anarchy! They cannot just let that bot run around and bot! This is chaos.

Guys just leave them alone its a video game, you enjoy playing legit,just ignore them, putting so much effort in preventing and stopping botting when clearly Jagex does not care.

Why does everybody say that? They might like their IRL GP, but it's not like they're Activision or something.

No trekkie they are more like slaves, think about it: 1 person controls a whole bunch of them and they don't get paid.

Excellent thread! We must wage war, if Jagex is not effective. I'm all in. Any effective tactics that really work? Let me know.

Nice, I used to see instant rollbacks of bots I reported but lately it's been like 1,5-2 months per time. I spoke to a botter who did it only to get banned and be rid of her rs addiction. I got in touch with some pmod friends who went on to Jagex and a month later or so she was banned. Now she's unbanned again, with all her skill xp cut in half.
