Yes, you should if you believe the ban was unfair.
A 1 day ban is temporary and will end quickly, but appealing can be worth it.
Here's why.
First, if your appeal is successful, the ban gets removed from your record. This keeps your account history clean.
Second, you have nothing to lose by appealing. Jagex won't extend your 1 day ban to a permanent one just because you appealed. The worst that can happen is they deny your appeal.
To appeal your ban:
- Go to the Account Support section on the OSRS website
- Select the "Appeal a ban" option
- Log in to the banned account
- Fill out the appeal form with clear, honest information
- Submit and wait for a response
When writing your appeal, be truthful and provide any evidence that supports your case. Explain why you think the ban was a mistake without being aggressive or demanding.
While waiting for your appeal, you might want to consider if your playstyle needs adjusting. Some players use automated programs or share accounts - all of which can trigger bans. Sticking to legitimate gameplay is always the safest approach.
Remember that even if your appeal is denied, a 1 day ban will disappear from your record after one year, provided you don't get any more bans during that time.
In the end, if you genuinely believe your 1 day ban was unfair, taking a few minutes to appeal is worth the effort. You have nothing to lose and potentially your account's good standing to gain.
