I'm not really sure how this happened. But somehow 2 of my bots received permanent mutes, and one got a perma-ban from 0 offences the next day. I don't think the perma-ban is related at all, but I'm really confused where the perma-mutes came from. I rarely talk with the bots (sometimes have little convos to seem a little more human) but whenever I bot with them I get them to join a cc, normally "mod mark" cause it's a really full one and nobody will notice. I probably won't appeal the mutes because it doesn't affect my bots at all, but does anybody know where they came from? I just hope my accounts weren't hacked or something and used as advertisers. 

 

Here's a link to the bans http://imgur.com/5fiv6Ja,LPO7ZTT#0

It's weird cause it says "macroing evidence" and that I was banned for website advertisement. I know that saying things like "rs walmart" can get you muted, but I'm pretty sure I never said any of those things. This happened on 2 accounts, one on the 29th, and one on the 30th.

 

Also, on the topic of perma-bans, does anybody know if it's really just caused by ip flags? Because I had 3 other accounts botting on that same ip(which I had only been using for a day or so, on a vpn with hundreds of thousands of ip's). It was one of my smithing bots doing iron knives that got permabanned, but I had another iron knives bot going for the same amount of time, just on a different world, and no perma-ban. I don't really want to appeal don't want them to track the items back to my main or something, but does anybody know exactly what separates instant "goldfarming" permabans from just regular macroing offences? I've had 2 accounts get goldfarming permabans, both with different ip addresses, but the rest just get 14 day macroing offences. 

You can get perm muted for using vpns like that...

click view the evidence should have some ingame convo from u

 

*edit* didnt see the advertising maybe some1 on the same vpn is using 30accounts to advertise rswalmart or some thing

The vpn has so many different IP's though, I'm using HMA, which apparently has over 54000 IP addresses, and it's not even a free vpn so I really don't think the IP was tainted, the chances of somebody else using that same IP for botting is just so small. And since it happened on 2 different accounts (I'm not sure if I was using the same IP on both, as they were different days) I'm not even sure if it was linked to my IP at all.

 

For some reason (although this is pretty unlikely) I feel like it's from me being in mod mark's cc so much, and with all the people spamming markdonalds they just permamuted me by accident

You get these mutes by fuck ups in their system, I got one appealed it and it got quashed.

I don't really see much benefit in appealing it, maybe if I decide to turn the bot into a pure or something. But it's good to know that it could just be a bug in their system, my worst fear was that my accounts were compromised or something

Sure bot didn't mess up and start spamming?

Very odd, maybe a moderator fucked up.
