Usually when people get banned for autoing, they either quit or start a new character. The bannage doesn't really affect at all to these Chinese sweatshop skillers, but after you lose a piece of something that you've actually worked on, you probably are pissed as hell. Diablorl aka David was a respected hard working player who had quite a high rank in one of the top clans, RSD. Every coin got 2 sides however and he was also part of underground communities. After long period of legit training, he did a wrong decicion and started to auto his main character. The ending was the normal: banned.

However unlike 99,9% of the people who have been banned during these years, he had an ace in his pocket. It was called Autorune and its functions. Along with other people who had lost their characters, he went on a spamming sphree and to close doors at banks automaticly. This of course bothered normal players, but unlike the others, he also found a new hole.

In Runescape we create names with 1 space (like user_name) and we were able to create with 2 or more spaces. However he found a way how to put the space to the end of the name and cause problems that: he could create characters with mod names.



Here he's flooding the chat with his autotyper. Notice how the character is Paul_, not Paul like the real moderator with mod rights and so on. That Paul_ character didn't have any mod abilities, but a name like that would be perfect for spreading false rumours, scamming and so on.







Of course some real moderators came there to calm down people and to see the thing with their own eyes. If I understood it right, they for some reason weren't able to kick the characters out of server for some reason and in the end they had to cause a con lost to whole server.







Of course he were making fun of the real moderators and spreading stuff like in the last picture. The last picture shows perfectly what I meant with spreading false rumours. If people still fall for "free trim" and other scams like that, how many would fall for Paul_ saying that autoing is now ok?









Things started to get clearer once the real Paul came there. Psychologically it had a huge meaning as now people could see with their own eyes that the lvl 3 Paul_ was an imposter. In the end the bug was fixed and David gone with this account too. It also showed that Jagex won't unban your character, not even when you abuse bugs to ruin the fun from others.

Wow. Having never really played rsc i love it when people tell old stories and show pics from back then. This was really interesting

Wow! That's awesome, lol. It would of caused so much drama, I wonder if any players actually did start macroing after he went around saying that it was allowed.

Wow, that's kind of funny and kind of sad...lol

Holy smokes......that is amazing. thanx for yet another excellent piece of history!

Of all 6 years I have played this game, this is the first time ive heard of this. Very funny


Well im not much of an RSC person

oh wow lol

i love all these old storys

Lol thats a cool thing he did making the mod name by mean to.

Never seen that one before, I prolly would have believed it had I been playing and came across Paul_.
