Becoming a Moderator...


EarthySun

Recommended Posts

My main account has been playing for four years now, and most of my friends are Moderators. I have no Black Marks on the account, I have sent in many Abuse Reports and Bug Reports, am nice and helpful in-game and on the Official Forums, and yet, I am not a Moderator. Can some Mods please tell me what they did to become a Moderator? I'm not obsessed with it (like some people are), I'm just surprised. O_o

I'm not Mod but I can tell you that it doesn't matter how long you've been playing, how your behaviour is or how many black marks you get, Jagex decides if your good enough for the job.

Remember, not everyone is going to be a mod - regardless of how qualified they are. First, you must be certified. Then, you must be lucky.

 

 

 

Also, I'd like to add that Jagex looks at the quality of your reports rather than the quantity.

I make sure that the reports are legitimate. O_o

 

 

 

Example:

 

Where the door near the Grain Tower said 'Open' when closed. I think that classifies as a bug, even though it's a minor one.

Are you sure it wasn't "click here to open" for short, lol?

 

 

 

OT: I think it really is about luck. You've just gotta stay active, helpful, and wait your turn.

It's just that most of my friends are Moderators and I'm nothing. They don't fully consider me an equal anymore. :oops:

Hehe. While I can't tell you how to become a moderator, I can tell you:

 

Use proper grammar and spelling.

 

Send in accurate reports, quantity means nothing.

 

I don't think bug reports will do you much, if any good, it can't hurt.

 

Oh, and stick with your moderator friends, they'll help you out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Am I a Runescape moderator? Maybe.

Thanks, Laura. ^_^ I suppose my Mod friends could help. So far I believe I meet most (if not all) of the requirements for Moderation. O_o

I agree with all of those except the first one. I've seen a few mods that type like this: "Hey wut ru doin? Want 2 train wit me 2morow?" Although, they might have changed their curriculum recently.

You certainly don't need to use the highest level of English you know. But Jagex wants people who can represent them. And every time moderators speak they act as ambassadors for them. Of course they're not going to "hire" hundreds of gangsta speaker player. So yes, while you don't need it, it can't hurt.

Certainly not. :P Some of the Mods I know don't speak English as a first language, but use it perfectly. I've found that people who are not native speakers have a better grammatical structure than people who are.

I've found something as I've played. The people who will go around bragging about how they are fully qualified to be a moderator and complaining that they're never chosen will never, ever be chosen. They generally try too hard, and thus are not the kind of people who actually become moderators. It's also a concern that people who want so badly to be moderators will let the power go to their heads the instant they see that silver crown. If you look around, how many moderators act like wannabe mods? None. My advice is to forget about being a moderator and stop caring whether you are one or not. It doesn't really matter, and as long as you care so much, you'll never be chosen.

My biggest advice, don't try too hard to become a mod. Just do what you're supposed to...you know what "modly behavior" is. Just do it and believe in karma.

I dont see the point of trying to be a moderator. If your friends are not considering you an "equal" because they are mods and you are not, then they do not deserve to be mods in the first place. Power should only be given to those who are responsible enough to carry it and your friends certainly dont seem the type. Although this is probably just insecurity on your part, sorry but I really feel that Jagex should not give modship to players that really want it.

I don't necessarily 'want' or 'need' it, I'm simply surprised that I'm not a Mod yet! O_o Call me shallow, but that is what I'm thinking right now. I enjoy the game, and I would enjoy the prospect of becoming a Moderator, but I spend my time in the game having fun, not working my [rear] off to become a Mod.

While because of the sheer amount of people your chances are small, there isn't as much to it as everybody pretends to know there is.

 

 

 

I know a number of people with a number of level 3-20 pmod accounts, who just used a colour clicker to auto report level 3-10's in default clothing around yew trees etc. Jagex doesn't look at the way you type, they don't have time for that.

 

 

 

I don't see why you would want to be a player mod anyway. If your friends look down on you just because you aren't, they aren't worth talking to.

Yes, actually they do. And it generally isn't the sheer amount of reports that gets you to become a moderator. Being a player moderator in my mind, is extremely rewarding, but a tad time consuming. You don't "miss out" on anything in the game, but it doesn't make it any easier or harder. It's a lot more work than just reporting.

I know you would love to think you got pmod by helping people, being mature etc, but it doesn't work like that.

Actually never mind, I shouldn't comment.
