I thought I'd post this as a potential heads up.
I've been playing Runescape off an on these past 8 or so years, botted every now and then, went through half a dozen bots. I recently joined back barely a week ago because one of my friends was playing, and I thought I'd try my hand with scripting since I've took up programming.
Fast forward a week, I'm still trying to work out the api, and get my script to work yet it doesn't and instead i justI bot overnight at barbarian fishing, (after several overnight botting of masterfarmers, rangeguild, and iron mining).
Wake up, client isn't open, client won't open, check website, log into my account and get that instant disconnection.
Well I knew I was banned, wasn't entirely surprised. I had two warnings and two bans over the past years.
Try to log in again to get account disabled message instead I get invalid username or password with what i just used to log in.
I try to check if this is usual for a ban, and I only find this thread, and many people said it was nonsense.
When I tried to login on the main rs3 website, I got the same error, and tried to get a password recovery.
What confirmed my suspicion that the account was deleted was when I got the email and it said this.
Character Name Unavailable.
I try to change my password to the password that I've been using and get this
So I actually do change it

and I still get a Login error, followed with an incorrect loging password message.
It seems like Jagex is nullifying accounts caught for botting, and basically trolling. Well I'd say it's working pretty good, and I thought I post a heads up to OSbot to confirm this is actually happening and isn't a product of being hacked or being phished, I haven't been phished since I was 11 and even then I was able to recover my account.
I was very casual with how I botted, and I never made multiple accounts all with 99s, I didn't like the game enough to bother. So there goes my one and only main, at least maybe I can get on with my studies, instead of writing on crappy powermining scripts that don't even work.
