Sythe, its staff and what we do
What is Sythe.org?Sythe.org is a cheating forum and black-market owned and created on April 22nd 2005 by
Sythe (Richard) after the fall of RuneCMS. Though Sythe.org's main user base is its black market Sythe.org also is home to Runescape forums, programming forums, general discussion forums, a debate forum, gaming forums, graphics forums and community forums. Although most members now come for the market many stick around for the rest of what Sythe.org has to offer.
It's pronounced the same way as "scythe" is.

The upper staff consists of all the global moderators and the administrators of Sythe.org. The upper staff have more responsibilities than the lower staff (sectionals) such as managing the staff team, voting on new staff polls, voting on pardon polls, handling donator avatar requests, etc.

What's the difference between administrators, global moderators, and sectional moderators?Sectionals moderate in their assigned section(s) where they have permissions to do so. They generally deal with spam reports, scam reports, and disputes. Global moderators have permissions in every section hence the term, global. They can do everything the sectionals can and more. Specifically they partake in polls, issue permanent/forum bans, and take on account recoveries. Administrators take care of the most important issues as well as running the staff team and generally do not do general moderating. There are two tiers of admins, "special," and "general." General administrators tend to distributing TwC ranks, IP bans, creating/changing forums, etc. Special administrators have different roles placed among each of them, including but not limited to, technical development, donations, etc.

New staff are chosen by the current staff team. When someone is nominated there is an upper level poll where globals and admins vote. If the vote achieves a 60% majority the user is promoted.

Your best bet to contact a moderator is to PM them. You can also try entering LiveHelp if it is online or you could contact them via MSN or Skype. If you need to dispute a ban, report a scammer, or report a post use the appropriate forums to do so.

Contacting an administrator works essentially the same way as contacting a moderator but admins are much busier and may take longer to respond. If you have an urgent matter and need to speak with an admin quickly, try contacting a global and ask them to help you get a hold of an admin. The global may also be able to help you removing the need to get in touch with an admin.

You can PM
Sythe but he will most likely only respond if it is a very important matter. You can ask an administrator to attempt to contact him on your behalf but they will only do so if they deem it necessary. Most problems can be solved by contacting a global or an administrator instead.*

You should send an email to
[email protected] or
[email protected] with your request to advertise. You can also PM
Sythe directly. If you don't hear back within 1-2 weeks try contacting an administrator to relay your request to Sythe.
