I know they flag IPs and they stay flagged for a while - reused VPN's and proxies are still flagged - but does Jagex ever unflag an IP?

I would hope so, after a certain amount of time, but I've never heard anyone say their flagged IP has been unflagged.

How can you even tell if your IP has been flagged?

If you are constantly banned on the same IP in a very short amount of time

No.. They don't Jagex have always tried to ban the botters so why on earth would they give them another chance by unflagging their IP.. but as well as we not knowing when we get out ip flagged, we wouldnt know when our ip has been unflagged

OP it doesn't even matter knowing if they do or not.

What are you talking about? They email you to notify your IP has been unflagged..

This could happen to anyone flagged or unflagged. My own experience was that I got at least 5+ mule botting accounts permed within 1 month of botting. And even after this I have been botting on my main without any problem so far. Maybe its because I had my main since 2007 and all them mule accounts were new and i used bonds for membership. I have a recurring membership on my main with a credit card 

we will prob never know

I don't think flags are entirely removed, but each one of them probably has a severity level attributed to them which decreases over time.

 

IP flagging is kind of a joke though, so many workarounds :p

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if they put a unique ID in each downloaded cache.

And when an account gets busted the cache ID it logged in from would get flagged, as would any other account logging in from the now flagged cache ID. But again, this could easily be circumvented by deleting the cache every time you get banned.

Just speculation of course.

We will only know if we ask them

Maybe the whole thing in the first place is untrue, and they don't flag IPs. I think it's stupid to definitely act like you know the system of JaGex, because they've supposedly flagged botters IP for years but it's now working? I really doubt that

To be able to flag IPs you first need to be able to detect macros accurately, which took a while.

I agree that this is all speculation though.

 

They do track your IP activity however, try making too many new accounts in a certain time frame for example, at a certain moment you will not be able to anymore. 

I thought that maybe if you haven't used an IP in a while that Jagex will unflag it thinking you aren't botting on that IP anymore. Obviously they won't if they keep having bans relating to that IP, but if the IP goes inactive, wouldn't they have a reason to unflag it?

I highly doubt it.

If it gets flagged, it was flagged for a reason.

There's no reason they'd want to unflag them.

So if an IP is flagged for three years without any activity, it would remain flagged?
