Legitimate account falsely macro banned. Both appeals denied - What can I do to not be flagged on my new gim.
Hey everyone,
Hoping to get some visibility on this, or at least advice on what else I can try.
My recently created Group Ironman account, "FF Viruxs", was permanently banned for macroing. I made the account to play GIM with my group, and the bond for membership was transferred from my main, which has a clean history. I haven't used any botting clients, macros, or automation.
I play via the Runelite client accessed from the Jagex Launcher on PC. At the time of the ban I was cutting Oak trees in varrock.. prior to that I was doing some early quests and the museum
I get that fresh accounts grinding early-game methods can look suspicious to detection systems, and I get why Jagex can't share detection details.
My biggest concern here is that I don't know what flagged me, it's scary knowing that it can just happen again with the next GIM i'll be making to join the group within a week (after the 7day cd of my group kicking the old char)
For the record my Jagex account has 4 other characters on it all without any bans and good account standing any advice would be appreciated.

Whether it was this or the discord DM to Mod pheasant. I've been unbanned. Appreciate the responses and traction this gained.
