Moderator

A Moderator (often called a Mod) is a person designated by Jagex to keep RuneScape an enjoyable place. Just about the only requirement to become a Player or Forum Moderator is that the player in question has to be noticed by Jagex as a player worthy and trustworthy of the status. To become a Jagex Moderator, someone has to work for Jagex in person, as "over the web"-styled jobs are not offered. Different types of Moderators include:

Dual Moderators
Dual Moderators are players who have achieved both Player Moderator and Forum Moderator status.

Several years ago, Jagex changed the policy such that a player cannot be both an in-game moderator and a forum moderator. Players who had the "Dual Moderator" status before the change were grandfathered in. For a certain period, when a player became either a player or forum moderator, they could not be chosen for the other, unless they had had their moderator status revoked at some time and earned the other status later on. It is said that only 3 dual moderators exist although, it has been confirmed on the fourms by jagex and by some fourm mods, that there are many more than that, but they are not allowed to reveal it to normal players due to the pmod rules. Jagex changed the policy back and new people can now be Dual moderators.
