I have yet to see a non-member moderator, though I have seen low level ones.--Runehqfan 22:01, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have. He was 99 everything except for prayer I think, and runecrafting. I don't think it was Mendark 9 either.--Richard 01:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

My friend became a player mod when he was a nonmember and was combat 64. And he didn't even play RS all that much (his stats were mediocre even for someone of his combat level), so anyone is eligible.--24.96.242.143 20:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Definetly. I'm ftp, not all that great stats, and am a Pmod. WOOT! 23:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I have ben doing good things like helping new players, reporting abuse on sight... And I have not been made a Player Mod. I never swear, I have never had or made an offence, never had a black mark, and I have been doing this the whole time since I started, about a year ago!23:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Moderator or moderator?
This article uses both capitalizations. Which should be used? Hyenaste 11:56, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Becoming a player mod
"Messages sent by other players to Jagex regarding their helpfulness and accurate abuse reports against their character are also taken into account."

This is not true, Jagex does not take requests or recommendations for player mods. DarkMagic 17:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

That is correct. Jagex even confirmed that player mods arent chosen by other players writing messages to them. This is to prevent players from making other accounts and writing to Jagex with them saying that their main should be a mod. --S terror1 00:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That is not correct. In the player moderation centre it even says that players' recommendations won't be taken consideration (as of May, 2007). 04:35, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

They will take into consideration messages (queries) recieved from other players about another player's ingame conduct. They won't make someone a pmod just because of these, though, so they needn't worry about someone making several accounts and sending queries to get modded.

Edited the right click-report part out
Anything not stated by Jagex in the kbase or through the town crier about player mods is considered confidential. This includes the right click report in the hidden update, which someone made known on the article. I think it would be worth pointing out that Jagex bans any player who reveals any of said information. Ojdude talk |undefined
 * Immediate ban? That's harsh! Is it perm. or temp.? 07:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Most of the time they don't give a ban, to my knowledge. It depends on what it was that was leaked, but they give at least a demod for leaking information. Skill 00:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it's a full, permanent ban for leaking the info. I have to reread the materials though, since changes do happen. Either way, Jagex isn't happy when people reveal this info. 09:38, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * JAGeX have confirmed that the right click Report Abuse option isn't considered "confidential" so they don't mind if you write about it.
 * Spell it right, and show us where they say that. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  18:42, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone put it back in, more discreetly this time :| but it's gone now. If anyone else sees something about it, feel free to edit it out. I can't always be checking this. 23:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Solution: Citations should be made for PMod abilities that Jagex has never stated.

Mmm... Hi, I just noticed that the article "Assist System" has Trivia section which states that mods have right click report option, anything that is not stated by Jagex in KB is considered confidential, and I think this part should be removed. And I know I should have posted this under Assist System article, I just thought it will get more attention here. Besides, it's the same topic - right click reporting. Thanks. Oh, and I would do that myself, but I've never edited an article, so I don't want to mess it up. 85.232.152.210 12:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Frankly, why make such a big deal about such a minor and logical thing. I mean, if you have moderators, you want to make their life easier by not forcing them to type the supercomplicated names chosen by rule breakers. If you have moderators everyone knows that they are supposed to have helpful tools and goodies to help in their job. Being a mod isn't just for having a silver crown when you talk. And also, with all this censoring now the article become potentially erroneous because it says Player moderators do not have any special abilities besides priority reports and the ability to mute troublemakers. Spreading false information isn't much the spirit of a wiki... 12:30, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * "why make such a big deal about such a minor and logical thing." - that's what I want to know! Why can't you people just accept this and let it go? 20:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I just checked the other article mentioned up there^, and since it was actually released in the knowledge base publicly, there's no reason to take it out. 20:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Didn't expect to get such a fast response. Based entirely on this discusion I thought that that Trivia part that mentions moderators should be edited (and I did edited, only few words from the whole section that made it clear about mods having this power, see discussion page). I am not experienced in all this Wiki stuff so I would really appreciate if someone more expierenced took a look and made all the needed correction if any needed. As i said, I based my decision on this discussion section, I thought if it's not O.K. to mention right click reporting in this article, so same applies to other articles.

Mod abilitys
My friend says u can change ur name if ur a p mod. is that true? 70.115.213.84 05:10, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope. Skill 05:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Jagex moderator can change their names. Your friend might be thinking of them 07:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

"Player moderators are chosen specifically by Jagex staff based on their behaviour and maturity in RuneScape and on the forums, and the accuracy, quality and quantity of abuse reports."

That is incorrect. Jagex does not look at the quantity of abuse reports. They ONLY look at quality, as told by the town crier.--S terror1 13:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * From the KB : We review their behaviour in the forums, the number and quality of abuse reports sent in. 12:32, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
