Hi Everyone I am new here and am going to be posting two articles to safe botting. The first of which I am posting now is directly from RID and is not my property. This is just a guideline to follow when botting, my second will be my own (I had it typed but it got deleted so I'm typing again) but its my guide to botting safely. enjoy!
"
1:Keep your combined playing and botting time sensible. Real players don't play 24/7, to blend in we recommened you never spend more than 8 hours in one day logged into RuneScape, including your own playing time. The risk is small, after a day of excessive-use the statistical chance of a ban is less than 0.1%, but if you have a good account DO NOT GET COMPLACENT. If you are in a known RID training area breaking this guideline the same day a J-Mod is looking for RID members, excessive use is strong evidence, and could result in permanent ban.
2: Never leave a trail to your RS account name on any website where you have links to RID (even if it's not the account you bot on).
If you talk about RID on a public website, you are a target, common ways people give away their identity are: draynor.net achievement signatures, posting screenies of stats - if you show just 5 stats, it's the equivalent of giving your RuneScape username, using the same username on a cheating website as your RuneScape account can be risky, and of course, always edit out your name (and friends names) from screenshots or videos. If you break this guideline on a popular website and don't remove the information, you are at Jagex's mercy, it's just a matter of time till you are caught. If Jagex uncover the RS account of an RID member this way, they will put all accounts used by that person under surveillance, if any spend a suspicious amount of time in a known RID training area, your links to RiD will be considered genuine, and result in permanent ban.
3: Never talk publicly about in-game activity on a website where you have links to RID (again, even if it isn't the RS account you bot with).
For MT4 users in particular, this is an important guideline. J-Mods have access to all kinds of information on RuneScape servers, such as time spent, points earned, etc. If you give away which minigame you were in, when, and exactly how many points you got... depending on how specific the information is, it may be enough for them to work out who you are in-game. If they find a match they will ban on the spot.
Other in-game activity RID members should avoid talking about include anything rare/unusual that could single you out such as items, trades, achievements, or skill levels. If you organise account, item or gold selling on a public website, you are compromising your identity in several ways, but if you avoid making links with RID, it's unlikely you will be targeted.
4: Preferably, don't bot on an account or IP address with a bad offense or botting history. Jagex have a system they use for tracking offenses and offenders. It's well known Jagex can link RS accounts that use the same IP, but they can also link IP addresses that use the same RS accounts, amongst other tracking methods. Jagex will not be afraid to ban a known RID member, or other 'cheater' who is spending a suspicious amount of time at the MTA (or any another RID training area). If you have actually been identified by Jagex as an RID member in the past (from a previous ban) and you break this guideline, it's just a matter of time till you are caught, the tracking system doesn't miss much. If your macro history was with another bot or your offense history doesn't include macroing, you are still at risk, however smaller (be careful not to break guideline 1 in addition). The longer ago your offense was, the less likely it can be successfully tracked.
If you have a bad offense history, you can remove all record with the following steps:
(1) Retire/sell ALL your current RuneScape accounts - even those with no offenses. (Harsh, but essential if you want a fresh start)
(2) Change IP address.
(3) Create a new account on your clean IP address. It won't take long to build an account you love with RID, if you prefer to buy rather than start again, be aware someone else's offense history will then be connected to your fresh IP.
(4) DO NOT buy membership with the same card as you did any old accounts, (unless via PayPal, which sheilds card details from Jagex). (5) Lastly: never again login to ANY old account on your new IP, even to the appeal centre. If you do, Jagex will be able to trace the old offense to your new IP and account.
5: Do not use detectable macro software to train your account. Jagex's approach to tackle most bots is at code level, with automated detection systems. For detail on how RID protects you from this, check our FAQ. Most cheating communities don't measure or understand the risks of the automated system. At this time no bot I know of, except RID, can beat it. With so many people playing RS, it's easy to avoid the detection system for a month or two, but if you break this guideline it's only a matter of time till you are caught.
6: Do not click any links to runescape.com, from any page associated with RS cheating. Whenever you follow a link, the site you go to receives information about the very page that referred you. Anyone interested can read up on this aspect of internet privacy here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referrer. Although there's never been any links to RS on our site, never will, and Jagex have never used this to attack RiD... it's a surprisingly little known fact in cheating communities (who link to RS all the time), and a lot of our members are active on cheating sites, so I decided to add this to the guidelines anyway. Stay safe
7: Never talk about or advertise bots in-game. Jagex's policy is to ban anyone who talks about botting, guilty or not, if you are reported while talking about or advertising bots you will be banned for macroing"
NOTE: If you didn't read above, this is not my work, it was by RiD.
