- What is a Player Moderator?
- Player: What is a Player Moderator?
- Town crier: Player Moderators are normal players of the game, just like you. However, since they have shown themselves to be trustworthy and active reporters, they have been invited by Jagex to monitor the game and
- Town crier: take appropriate action when they see rule breaking. You can spot a Player Moderator in game by looking at the chat screen - when a Player Moderator speaks, a silver crown appears to the left of their name.
- Town crier: Remember, if there's not silver crown there, they are not a Player Moderator!

- Player: What can Player Moderators do?

- Town crier: Within the Centre are tools to help them Moderate Old School RuneScape. These tools include dedicated forums, the Player Moderator Guidelines and the Player Moderator Code of Conduct.

- How do I become a Player Moderator?
- Player: How do I become a Player Moderator?
- Town crier: Jagex picks players who spend their time and effort to help better the Old School RuneScape community. To increase your chances of becoming a Player Moderator:
- Town crier: Keep your account secure! This is very important, as a player with poor security will never be a P-Mod. Read our Security Tips for more information.
- Town crier: Play by the rules! The rules of Old School RuneScape are enforced for a reason, to make the game a fair and enjoyable environment for all.
- Town crier: Report accurately! When Jagex consider an account for review they look for quality, not quantity. Ensure your reports are of a high quality by following the report guidelines.
- Town crier: Be excellent to each other! Treat others as you would want to be treated yourself. Respect your fellow player.
- Player: Thanks!

- What can Player Moderators not do?
- Player: What can Player Moderators not do?
- Town crier: P-Mods cannot ban your account - they can only report offences. Jagex then take action based on the evidence received. If you lose your password or get scammed by another player, P-Mods cannot help you
- Town crier: get your account back. All they can do is recommend you to go to Customer Support. They cannot retrieve any items you may have lost and receive no free items from Jagex for helping moderate the game. They are
- Town crier: players who give their efforts to help the community out of the goodness of their hearts! P-mods do not work for Jagex and so cannot make you a Moderator, or recommend other accounts to become moderators. If

Player Moderators

- Dialogue 1
- Town crier: Add other Player Moderators to your friends list for quick advice and moral support in-game. It does help!
- Dialogue 2
- Town crier: To avoid reporting the wrong player, add an offender to your friends list, switch your public chat to friends and then use your right-click report from there. Easy!
- Dialogue 3
- Town crier: Did you know that Free-to-Play P-mods CAN visit the moderator forums, by logging into the regular forums at the top right hand side of the forum screen, despite it saying Members only.
- Dialogue 4
- Town crier: Don't be tempted to report anything you didn't see, no matter how much you trust the player who is informing you.
- Dialogue 5
- Town crier: Don't eat something messy when on a first date - it won't look good!
- Dialogue 6
- Town crier: Don't forget to add the mute if needed, before selecting the report category. This cuts down on those duplicate reports for one player.
- Dialogue 7
- Town crier: Feeling harassed? Don't forget your ignore list can be especially useful if a player seems to be picking on you!
- Dialogue 8
- Town crier: The forums are the best place to keep abreast of any procedure changes that might not yet be included in the Player Mod guidelines!
- Dialogue 9
- Town crier: Got players asking you to unban them or help them retrieve a stolen or hacked account? There's nothing you can do so just send them to the Customer Support Team. If they think you can help, send them to me; I'll
- Town crier: put them straight!
- Dialogue 10
- Town crier: Have the P-Mod Oracle open in a separate window when playing Old School RuneScape - that way you'll always have the most up-to-date guidelines to hand!
- Dialogue 11
- Town crier: If the chat is scrolling too fast for you to see that suspect line you want to double check, just run up a ladder or to a quieter spot to stop the chat screen scrolling. Then you can scroll back and read that
- Town crier: suspect line and judge the situation in your own time!
- Dialogue 12
- Town crier: If the chat window is moving too quickly to report a player accurately, run to a quiet spot and review the chat at your leisure!
- Dialogue 13
- Town crier: If a player isn't sure of the rules, send them to me! I'll be happy to remind them!
- Dialogue 14
- Town crier: If you're a new mod, don't forget to read the guidelines before you log into the game! If you've been a P-mod for a while, why not have another read of them to refresh your memory and to get up to date
- Town crier: with any changes you may have missed!
- Dialogue 15
- Town crier: If you've got a player asking you questions about P- mods, feel free to send them to me; I can answer questions about P-mods for you!

- Dialogue 17
- Town crier: If you notice a player trying to buy something common for an extremely high price, look about and see if there's someone else selling the same item for a much lower price. Chances are they're team scamming. If so,
- Town crier: write their names down and send your J-mod curators a query!

- Dialogue 21
- Town crier: Make sure you log out of the game and the forums whenever you leave your device. Don't allow others to see confidential info!
- Dialogue 22
- Town crier: Never answer questions if you feel the answer will breach confidentiality.
- Dialogue 23
- Town crier: The P-mod forums are your friend! They're the best place to talk to and meet other P-mods and are absolutely packed with useful advice!
- Dialogue 24
- Town crier: Remember, if in doubt, report without a mute! It's very frustrating not to be able to speak if you're innocent!
- Dialogue 25
- Town crier: Remember, if offensive language has been completely filtered out then there's no need to report or mute it!
- Dialogue 26
- Town crier: Think twice before applying that mute. Will it really prevent further damage from surrounding players?
- Dialogue 27
- Town crier: Use the Jagex PMod team if you need to - they're there to help!
- Dialogue 28
- Town crier: You'll be amazed how often a bit of humour can diffuse a potentially unpleasant situation, before it becomes too serious.
- Dialogue 29
- Town crier: Your J-mods are there to help you. If you ever need their advice, send them a query. They are always very happy to help. Don't be afraid to use them!
- Dialogue 30
- Town crier: Your Player Moderator identity must never be revealed on the regular Old School RuneScape forums. However, you're more than welcome to chat about all aspects of being a Player Moderator in the official
- Town crier: Player Moderator forums!
