Mute

A mute is a form of punishment given out by Player moderators and Jagex moderators to those who are guilty of breaching the Rules of Conduct. Mutes given out by player moderators last 48 hours, long enough for Jagex to investigate the situation. A muted player will not be able to talk in-game or on the forums, however, they can still play the game as usual and trade with other players. Muted players usually communicate with others by using emotes or external forms of communication. If you are on a last chance and you commit an offence you will be permanently muted and after that you will probably be banned for good



There has been some criticism such that mutes subject the player to certain abuse, such as being called "jerks" for not responding to a player, or being falsely accused of macroing.
