Perhaps a silly question, but my account just got permanently banned. How does one appeal if it's unappealable? Thanks

all of them appealable but moistly it works after a few years .  unless its not for macroing so  u cant get unbanned that often

Your best bet is to give it a couple months if you genuinely want to recover the account. If you google 'appeal a ban' the first link is a Jagex link which gives you the option to appeal a ban even though you don't get the option through your account services. Just remember you only get 1 chance at an appeal. So like I said, best bet is to give it a few months at the bare minimum before you try an appeal. I just recovered an account that had a perm macro ban which got banned in November last year. Just admit you broke the rules when you appeal. GL.

Hard to get back your account that fast. Tipically appeals are accepted for ban few years old. Happened to me, level 3 account no other stats, quests etc. just 83 mining fully botted appealed. Banned in 2017. Other account 50/50 hand and botting, all skills above +50, a lot of quests etc., didn't get accepted. Banned in early 2019

Bot on proxy, appeal on creation ip works once or twice on an account. If thats not the case you usually wont be unbanned unless significant time has passed.
