Tips for becoming a Runescape Player moderator?

Question

Hi i really want to become a p mod but I need some tips.
I have a bank pin, recovery questions, a hard password, and i report everything that needs to be reported. Also when i have nothing else to do I go to lumbridge reporting players that think its a dating site and everything else. Occasionally i go to varrock and look for macroers andd scammers. so tell me, is there anything else i can do to increase my chances of being a player moderator?

Answer 1

It is generally true that the people that just go on there and have fun are the people that become mods however just reporting people all the time wont get you anywhere. Give them a warning first if they keep it up report them.

do you see what you are doing? buying into jagex's ploys to make everyone behave. They know that people want to have a spot of power in the game above the rest. and in-turn you are being a moderator for them without begin appointed the title. And not causing problems and playing the game with-in the rules. Just play the game and have fun, dont waste your time reporting people in world 1 everyday in hopes of being a mod. just forgot about it, and if it happens, great, if not oh well. and beside, jagex is a terrible company, and there is so many better games out there you could be wasting your life away on!

Answer 3

i have been a player mod for about a year now.



before getting invited, i was so envious of those people who got chosen. i really wanted to be one too. but i knew my chances were slim, because there are a lot of players out there that would make good player mods as well.



so i continued playing as i normally would have. i trained my skills, reported only the serious offenses, and was helpful and friendly to anyone who crossed my path. i also occasionally posted on the forums helping out people with their quest troubles, and clue scrolls. i know one of those things listed is what got me noticed. but i am not sure what it is. they don't even tell the player moderators how they choose us!



so my advice to you is -- be yourself. you seem like a very nice person, with a good head on your shoulders.



-report only when you see fit. when you do report, never be rude, or talk about how you just reported them. jagex tries to find users who are able to report the right things, and have a good attitude about it.



-be kind to your fellow players. personally, i honestly think this is the main reason i was chosen. i use smilies way too much, i always use good manners, ie; please, thank you, no thank you, you're welcome, good luck. and i have never, not even once, called someone a noob. jagex chooses people who will represent the game in a positive way. kindness is a good way to charm them lol.



-secure account. you obviously have that down for sure lol. which is awesome. jagex wants a potential player moderator to have a good sense of account security. this is very important to them.



the only thing i would suggest is to keep your reporting to a minimum. it's 100% great that you report, and you ARE reporting all the right things. but sending in for example, 3 serious rule breakers will get you more noticed than sending in 25 general rule breakers. i had only reported around 5-10 people before being modded.



best of luck to you! hope to see you joining the team soon ;)

Answer 4

becoming a p mod is random.



Even if you have all of those security settings you may never get to be a mod.



I have all of those and no black marks or any marks against my account, and I have been playing for 5 years, and I am not a mod.



Tips to becoming a mod besides the security settings, you have to be on your best behavior, even if you do report that sometimes does not count.



Follow the rules, report when you find it necessary or see someone breaking the rules, just don't go looking for people to report. always be willing to help other players with different things.





it is random on how you become a p mod. when you do Jagex will contact you through your game in-box



I wish you the best of luck, may be one of these days we will both become mods

Answer 5

Just have fun. I have a friend who wanted to be a mod and he was doing everything what you did. Always doing everything out of his way to try and get some attention from Jagex. It didn't work even though that's what they ask of you. My other friend who just played the game and had fun on it became a mod a couple months into the game.



Also be yourself. No fun acting like someone your not.



Good luck.

Answer 6

Im a moderator (forums though) myself, and i can tell you that jagex dosent pick mods for any of those reasons. jagex will be more likeley to choose a player with good nature, so dont call people noobs/nubs ect ect, dont report to often (this will make you look do desprate, and its a myth that reporting = moderatorship) and if someone asks you for help, try to assist them rather than turning your back.

Answer 7

Your doing great so far. i myself am not a moderator but to be a moderator you need to frequently take part in the FORUMS and the POLLS so you can be recognized by jagex and you will hopefully become a player moderator. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

Answer 8

first of all stop being a reporting nerd. you wouldnt want people reporting you and all those people arent even being offensive toward you
