Player Moderator

Player Moderators, also known as PMods or just mods are Runescape players chosen specifically by Jagex staff due to their commitment to the in-game community. They are ambassadors of the game and help to maintain an enjoyable in-game environment. In more recent times, they can also be known as champions of the community.

Player Moderators can be recognised by having a silver crown visible next to their name when they speak in-game. However, it is not present in their username when right clicking. Also, the crown cannot be disabled or hidden. In addition, there is no way to identify a Player Moderator on the Runescape forums as their posts appear the same as a regular player.

Player Moderators have access to the Player Moderator Centre, which contains links to the Player Moderator forums, information and up-to-date guidelines. These features allow Player Moderators to have the guidence and advice they need, while allowing Jagex to collect valuable feedback.

When reporting, Player Moderators have an additional ability to add a mute for more serious issues. All abuse reports made by Player Moderators are directed to a separate group of Jagex staff members who monitor and review all the reports as a matter of priority to ensure the actions taken by a Player Moderator are correct.

Being a Player Moderator is a volunteer role and they gain no advantages, such as free membership or any in game advantages.
