In-Game Player Moderators
Jagex has always worked extremely hard to make sure that Runescape is a safe and pleasant place in which to play.
To ensure that RuneScape stays such a place, Jagex have introduced
player moderators to the game. Player moderators are normal players of
the game, they still play to complete quests and to better their levels
but have been invited by Jagex to monitor the game and to take
appropriate action when they see rule breaking happening.
Player moderators have two ways to deal with rule breaking in the game:
1. The report abuse button
This is the same report abuse button that all other players have,
however a dedicated team of Jagex staff will be assessing each of these
reports as a matter of priority.
2. Temporary mutes
Player moderators also have the option to mute players temporarily to
deal with immediate problems. Each mute will be checked by a member of
Jagex staff as soon as possible to ensure that each action taken by a
player moderator is completely correct.
To avoid any confusion Jagex has made all player moderators very easy to
identify. Every player moderator will have a small silver crown next to
their name when they type a message. Below is an example of the crown
you will see next to the name of a player moderator.

In addition to player moderators having silver crowns next to their
names, Jagex staff moderators also have a crown visible when they type,
but to avoid any confusion a Jagex staff moderator will have a gold
crown next to their name.

The addition of player moderators to RuneScape will ensure that the
highest standards are maintained and that any trouble makers are dealt
with quick and effectively. More information about player moderators can
be found in our Player Mod FAQ section.
