Runescape had a big ban on the 4th of January, over 9 thousand people banned, me including. I'd like to discuss thoughts on how these bans were so efficient, and how they banned so many people at once. What do you guys think happened? Please enlighten me. Over 1 month of time just vanished out of thin air.

Okay, well how do they know 9 thousand people are botting, how do they know to ban these botters all at once. What triggers these bans?

Was barely any bans for like 2 week before hand, save all the names of the botters and hit them all on one day
