Forum ModeratorsForum moderators, obviously are the people who police the forums. This is a voluntary job and these people do not get any incentives for what they do other than the warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing that they are helping keep Runescape running. They play the game like you do, so please don't beg them for free stuff they deserve to play the game in peace. To become a forum moderator you need to, obviously, be active on the forums. Post proper posts and follow the rules. All forum mods need to be paying members. The forum mods can ban you from using the forum for 24 hours. You will know if someone is a forum mod by checking to see if they have a green crown on their posts. This does not show up in game.

Jagex ModeratorsJagex Moderators are employed by Jagex and get paid for what they do. These people aren't usually seen in the game and if they are seen they are testing a bug. They don't earn their levels like we do, so it is possible to see a level 1 moderator. They can't trade or fight and they can ban people. You will know if someone is a Jagex mod by checking to see if they have a gold crown next to their name when they chat. If they don't have a gold crown they aren't Jagex moderators. To become a Jagex Moderator you need to be employed by Jagex. They will never ask for your details in game and they don't send you emails.

Player ModeratorsPlayer moderators do not get any incentives for what they do. They play the game just like we do, so don't beg them for stuff. They have a silver crown next to their name in chat. THey can issue 48 hour mutes and priority reports. They cannot ban. These people are picked by Jagex. Remember, there is no easy way to be picked as a mod. There are no scams that you can try and the only way to become a mod is to be picked by Jagex.
