Ok, guys. I used Khal Motherlode for an insane amount of time over the span of 5 days. It actually took a LOT longer to get banned than I expected. I started using the bot at lvl 54 mining ( and my other stats are legit and I'm cbt 64 or 69. Can't remember.). By the end of this experiment I became level 79 mining. I mined motherlode for anywhere from 4 to 12 hours a day. I understand that it takes some time to be banned, compiling evidence and whatnot, but it took longer than I expected. Apparently, Khal is a supremely well-written script. inbetween macroing, I logged into rsbuddy, and used mirror mode. I believe all of this contributed to the extended amount of time it took for my account to be semi-banned, because I have accidentally been caught before back in the day and was immediately perm banned. It seems if you switch between rsbuddy and a mirror mode, Botwatch gets confused and counts it as human activity; If they looked at my bank acct I would FOR SURE be perm banned.
Now, I would like to know if anyone has any useful information regarding how long an IP or an account is flagged and monitored once they have been caught, and if changing my IP and or using a VPN after letting things cool down a bit would seem suspicious or take down the search another star.
Botwatch only caught me because I purposefully botted like an idiot. <-- this will now be my signature
