Rule change on bots

[Hayden]

Just as long as Moderators do PROPER bot checks.

If a player has their Public off, they won't see anything a Moderator says, unless they're Admin+. So, Mods should have to PM them / jail them and see what happens. They should also have to screenshot the incident, else they could claim someone was botting purely because they dislike them.

They could just ::Xteletome them a considerable distance from where they were botting and see what happens

Does this mean non-afk botting is illegal as well?

If a bot has been found, their account will be banned on sight and the punishment cannot be appealed.

all botting is now bannable afk-ing or not.

It says if you're caught using one. So unless you go AFK they can't do anything.

Technically, we cannot detect (or punish) players that use a bot while attending to their character, respond to random events and mods etc. However, I do have to warn about the risks of non-afk botting: if you look away from your screen for just a minute while your autoclicker continues and you get caught by a mod, you're going to lose your entire account. So you have to ask yourself: is it really worth it?

Oh, and to clarify for the 10000th time: no, you can not get random events while afk. Only when you click an object or buy an item in a shop, you can get one.

Hey, idk if it's alright to make a suggestion to you here, but since it relates to botting, I figured that I might as well.

You know how you have the shops set individually, so players won't have to "compete" to buy items in them? Well, I think that you should change it so that players DO have to "compete" to buy them. Yesterday I found 4-5 Autobuyers at the supplies shop on the honor height in Catherby auto-buying prayer potions, and it took Maurits and I a good few minutes to actually tell if they were auto-buying or not. Turns out, these 4-5 players were the same user, and each account he had auto buying had around 20k prayer potions.

I think that if you switch this system, it'll help the Staff Members determine who's auto buying, and remove them from the server.

[Rawr]

Rat, it was changed because otherwise the number of supplies in the shop would be so low, it just wouldn't work. We used to have x10~ the supplies and have it compete, but then the legitimate players wouldn't be able to keep up with the auto-ers.
