There are a few reasons why players are against pmods. First reason, they themselves are jealous. It's a very common jealousy every player has when they see a player mod. But not all of them are able to control this jealousy, and when they can't, they start flaming at the mod and belittling them. Second reason, they are rule-breakers. It's obvious that these rule-breakers hate player mods, who in their eyes are the people who get in their way. So either they start flaming the mod, or annoying the mod until they get the evidence to report the mod. Third reason, they encountered bad player mods. Yes, I fully agree that there are corrupt mods inside the pmod team. But the problem is, they can't judge the whole player mod team just by how one behaves. It's just not fair. Not *all* player mods are like that. So in conclusion, player mods are *normal* players, who have just shown good judgement and maturity in handling situations. I have to say this, player mod is *not* just about reporting, you need the patience, the calmness and the maturity to handle different circumstances, which in some cases, are pretty hard to deal with. A player might be good at reporting, but *not* necessarily good at being a player mod.

World 3 is my fave. :)

Add me if you want. My private chat isn't always on, just hope you are lucky to catch me. :P

Hmm, the players that reported the person giving 50k away isn't right. He only said "giving 50k away", and didn't say things like "trsut game" or "you give me stuff and i give back", so it's doesn't credit a report. Well, you're just lucky.

I have been playing for a few months, can't remember the exact number.

I hope it's something really cute, AND spooky! \

This is a really helpful guide, I congratulate you on that. :) Keep it up.

Sorry, but I can't reveal the exact way player mods mute people, as it is confidential.

It will not be a good idea, as it will cause jealousy among normal players. It is also unfair to players, as player mods are normal players.

I already answered it in my guide:

The reason I chose yellow is because it represents the colour of the Jagex Mods' crown. Thank for your comments nevertheless.

Black marks are given for all offences. For serious offences, you might receive a ban or a permanent mute. You can refer to the knowledge base for more information.

It is true that Jagex will never invite you to be a mod in game, if you are still unsure, send a query to Jagex and they will tell you. :)

Personally, I don't really like giving away free stuff. It often leads to begging and in worse cases, flaming. To avoid this, I would rather not give free stuff.

Nope, that is not true.

For me it would be merchanting.

There is quite a list: Brilyante Mameluke5555 Engond Nutty Ice Flashman420 Simon Jester and many more I can't remember.

oooo!!! a p- mod!!! lol, i actually have a question for u: how do u mute some1? is it in the options? i doubt that because: "lets see... trade fakeplayer123... oops! i accidently muted him!". do u have to press control and shift and right clik player and mute at the same time? on topic: i think they have advantages because they get a lot more attention, but the disadvantage is the same thing as the advantage. u get to much attention! but i still wanta be P-mod! : Sorry, but we cannot tell you how we mute players. It is confidential information. Player Mods don't get much advantage, instead they are mainly the source of abuse. Some players often insult mods, and bug them with all kinds of questions. The crown is there for players to identify us. It does have its disadvantage, as it attracts too much attention. Nevertheless the advantage is that it is easy to see and won't confuse normal players. Regarding the advantage in trading, yes in some sense it does make us easier to trade as our messages become more conspicuous due to the crown. But most of the players have asked me questions instead of trading with me, so it doesn't really help. I would be too busy answering questions rather than typing things like "Trading for uncuts".

Guide On Moderators In Runescape Yes, I know there is already a guide on player mods written by spoofer, but I decide to write a complete guide on all the moderators on Runescape, and also to answer some questions that players might not know. Jagex Moderators Lets begin with Jagex Moderators. Jagex mods are people who WORK for Jagex, they are the ones that get paid for their job. The reason you seldom see a Jagex mod in game is because they are usually behind the scenes. When you DO see them in game, they are usually checking out on a glitch or bug or macroing problem. Jagex mods CANNOT engage in a trade or fight with other players. They do not play the game like we do, and their levels are not earned through game-play. Therefore, do not be shocked when you see a level 1 Jagex mod. Their levels are altered specifically to test out new features in the game. All Jagex moderators have a gold crown (which cannot be disabled/turned off) whenever they type a message and they usually have a "Mod" in front of their name. Their gold crowns show in both public chat and private chat, so anyone without a gold crown is not a Jagex mod. Jagex mods are the people that can BAN. FAQs Regarding Jagex Mods 1. How do I become a Jagex Moderator? You have to apply to become one. Just go to their corporate site and look at the jobs available. You have to be above 18 and be able to work in United Kingdom. 2. Do Jagex mods ask for my account details in game? NO! Jagex mods will NEVER ask for your account details. Now think, they own the game, and if they want your account details, they can just get it easily by checking, is it even necessary to ask for them? If anyone pretends to be a jagex mod and asks you for your account details, report him or her for pass scamming or jagex staff impersonation. 3. Do Jagex mods email me? No, and I mean NEVER! Jagex mods will NEVER communicate with a player through email. The only means of contact is through ONLINE MESSAGE CENTRE. So if you receive any email claiming to be from Jagex, delete it. Player Moderators Now, on to Player Mods. First and foremost, Player Mods are NORMAL PLAYERS. They DO NOT get any free stuff, runescape money for their position. Their modding job is entirely voluntary, and they do not have to do it if they do not want to. Most player mods seldom talk to avoid attention, so do not think that they are not there. Again, I have to stress that Player Mods are normal players. All their levels and runescape money are earned through game play, just like everyone. So, next time you see a player mod, do not beg them for stuff. All Player moderators have a silver crown (which cannot be disabled/turned off) whenever they type a message, and like Jagex mods, it appears in both public chat and private chat. Player mods have only TWO powers, a priority report and a 48 hour mute. They CANNOT issue a ban. Here is an example of the crown you will see when a Player Moderator talks: FAQs Regarding Player Mods 1. How do I become a player mod? All player mods are hand-picked by Jagex. Application or bribery will NOT be accepted. There is no direct way to become a mod, all I can advise you is, be yourself, follow the rules, play the game, and have a positive attitude in game. Send in abuse reports whenever you see rule-breaking happen, and help new players who are in need. Jagex is almost always hiring player mods, so if you are doing what is required, you will be picked. Player mods can be P2P or F2P. 2. What is the player moderator center? What is inside there? The player moderator center is a place where Jagex and player mods discuss issues regarding runescape. They are only accessible to players with player mod status. The contents of the player mod center is always kept confidential, so nothing could be revealed. 3. What happens when I get muted? When you get muted, you will still be able to type your messages, but no players will be able to see it. The mute will last for 48 hours, and you will also be forbidden from using the Runescape Forums until the mute is lifted. If you have been muted, just check your Online Message Center, and you will know. 4. If I see rule-breaking in game and there is a pmod around, should I continue to use the report abuse feature? Yes, by all means. Jagex encourages players to use the report abuse feature for all abuse in game at all times. However, you could ask the player mod to help in reporting, meanwhile, we have the priority report. :tongue: But remember, we are in no obligation to help you. 5. I have been scammed/hacked, can a player mod help me? Sorry, but we cannot handle these issues. The only way is to contact Jagex through Customer Support. 6. Can a pmod make me a mod? No, only Jagex mods have that power. 7. Will being a player mod excuse them from punishments if they break a rule? What should I do if I see them breaking a rule? No, we are not tolerated if we break a rule. If you see any player mod breaking the rules, report them by all means. 8. Do player mods have the green textbox and crown when they post on the forums? No, our only symbol is the silver crown in game. 9. I have seen some player mods, and they are mostly level 100 and over. Is there a certain combat level requirement for a pmod? Do I have to reach a certain age to be a player mod? The reason most player mods are high levels is because they have played for a long time and have shown themselves to be trustworthy players who know the rules well. Combat level is not a criteria for pmod position. We are chosen not according to our skills and experience in the game, but according to our positive attitude in game and how well we know the rules. Sometimes, you may even see a level 3 mod in game, but this is rare. The only reason I can give for level 3 mods is that they train other skills instead of combat. Being a level 3 mod does not mean they have not played the game for long, so do not assume that they are inexperienced and unsuitable to be chosen. I myself, have been a player mod at level 9. Age is also not a criteria when Jagex choses pmods. Pmods can be of a wide range of ages. I am 15, and already modding. :) 10. I have received many "thank you" messages from Jagex for my abuse reports, does that mean my chances of becoming a mod is high? No, that is not true. Even though it is a good sign, but that does not mean you will be picked. It only shows that your report is correct and that Jagex has dealt with the player. As stated in the knowledge base, Jagex does not reveal how close a player is to being a player mod. Jagex does not want players to think that these messages are indications of how close a player is to being a mod, so do not think too much about it. Continue playing the game, and send in abuse reports when necessary. So far, I have only received 3 messages thanking me for my report. I just got the mod invitation as the 4th message. 11. I have received a black mark, can I still be a mod? Yes, but the chances are slim. Depending on how serious your offence is, you will just have to work your way up. Once you have proven to Jagex that you have redeemed your mistake and have made a positive impact in the game, you can be picked. The only time a player is not eligible is when he/she is banned. 12. How do I know if I have been picked as a Player Mod? If you have been chosen for Pmod position, Jagex will alert you through a message to your online message center. Take note that Jagex will never email or invite you to be a player mod in game. 13. I have seen rule-breaking on my world, and my mod friend is on another world. I told him to mute/report the player in a private chat, but he refuses, why? Even though we have the muting power and priority reports, we cannot mute or report a player at will. We can only report/mute a player when we actually see the rule-breaking happen. Also, be considerate. We want to play the game as well, if we do not have the time to deal with the rule-breaking, do not bother us and report the offence yourself. We do not come onto the game just to report/mute players and are in no obligation to help you with it. 14. If I become a player mod, must I be active for a specific time? Will my position be removed if I am not active? No, as I have said, we are normal players and our job is totally voluntary. 15. Is there a set period of time for my player mod position? Will I ever get removed from my position after that period of time? Lol, thats a definite no. As long as you follow the rules, dun resign and the game continues, you could well be a player mod for your entire life. ;) Forum Moderators Finally, to Forum Moderators. They too, are normal players and their modding job is totally voluntary. They DO NOT get any free stuff for the work they do. Forum Moderators, like other players, gain their levels and earn their stuff through game play. Please DO NOT beg them for stuff, as it can get pretty annoying. Since the update, all Forum Moderators now have a green crown (which cannot be disabled/turned off) when they post on the forums. Their crowns only show on the forums, and not in the game. In addition to their crowns, they also have a green background and a "Forum mod" under their name. Forum Moderators can hide, lock, move and edit posts. They can also issue temporary bans to players who abuse the forums. The ban lasts for 24 hours after which it will be removed. FAQs Regarding Forum Moderators 1. How do I become a Forum Mod? Be active on the forums, make constructive posts, and follow the code of conduct. Like the player mods, forum mods are hand-picked by Jagex. Your in game conduct does not affect your chance of being a forum mod. All forum mods are P2P. 2. How would I know if I have been chosen? Like player mods, Jagex will send a message to your message center to invite you. 3. I have been scammed/hacked, can a forum mod help me? No, all such problems are to be addressed through Customer Support. 4. I am banned unfairly by a forum mod, what should I do? Do not worry, your ban is temporary. Just send in a query through customer support and tell them the details. Enjoy. :)

I was being insulted quite often before I became a mod since i am only a level 9 combat. But after I became a mod, there has been no such issues.

There have been quite a number of people who offered to give me free stuff, but i declined all of them. Couldn't remember their names though. PS. This thread is about people who are nice to you, not about how nice you were to people. Please stop posting about giving free stuff to others. Thanks. Ltfairy

Would you still play if there was no Friend list? Yah, I would. But I think it will be less enjoyable. Why do you have Friends? To assist each other and to have fun, of course. What are the real purpose of friends in your aspect To really understand each other and help each other in times of need. Personal: Do you have many friends? I have some good friends, and they have been pretty good to me. I don't think I have many friends on rs. Ltfairy

Yes, a wonderfully written article. Touching and simple, but yet full of meaning. Even though I have never seen The Old Nite before, he seemed like a pretty nice guy to me. He has proven to us that being kind to people is not difficult, just a warm greeting of "hi" can make people feel warm inside the heart. Yes, he is truly a legend. O:) To The Old Nite: Dear Old Nite, Even though I have never spoken to you before, I was truly touched by your story. Thanks for your great contribution to the Runescape community. We all feel sad that you departed from us so early, without giving us the chance to say "thank you". You will be remembered forever, by each and everyone of us. Your trueful and kind heart will touch every one of us, and we will spread your love for us to the rest of the Runescape community. Rest in peace my mate and leave the past behind, but keep in mind that we will be praying for you and your family. :pray: Yours Truly, Ltfairy

I have no objection to this personally, but I don't think this is going to help the situation a lot. Also, I don't believe that Jagex can track computer IPs, since some computers change IP everytime it logs on. It is impossible to destroy the whole macroing problem, the only way to really clear off the problem is to stop those sites promoting them (which is kind of impossible atm). As for pass scammers, I dun think we need to look out for them. I am also sure that players will report them when they see them, as they usually use the same trick over and over again. I'm sure players have already learnt about this scamming technique so it's unlikely that any players will get scammed. Lastly, account traders. It is not a really common incident, so there is no need to "hunt" for them. Just report them when you see them. Ltfairy

Same as sweet kai, my fav skill is smithing. :) Ltfairy
