Runescape Player Moderators

A staggering collection of Runescape player moderators obscenity. I personally was fortunate enough not to witness any of the kind. Every p-mod I saw in the game was civil and nice to other players. So, just based on my personal experience, I'd say these cases of rude behavior is rather an exception then the rule.

But still... Dan brings an interesting point: should p-mods be distinguished by the silver crown? I actually think that in ideal world they should not. In ideal world p-mods will simply care so much for the game that they would perform their duties without this additional token of recognition. But we are not in the ideal world. I think that it would be near impossible to find so many players who would do what p-mods do, for free, and without any kind of visible reward. So here goes the silver crown.

As far as ability to speak through disabled chat and mute players - those are simply tools needed for performing their game monitoring duties. I don't see a way around it.
