3 years, I was one of the first promoted in 2004. During, I only played once a week for about 3-4 hours total.

Is it more or less a random selection for who gets promoted?

Because I'm sure there's thousands upon thousands who meet the criteria

It is not random, most pmods have had great reputations for years and years and have actively helped the community through bot busting events etc.

It is really hard to be promoted nowadays it seems like, but the main things I'd recommend is be actively involved in the community, especially the forums.

This will most likely get you forum moderator status. Most people who get promoted nowadays are community involved video makers who aren't ready for the responsibilities of being a player moderator, hence the behavior of some of them.

Do Jagex ever give any confidential information to P-Mods? Or did they know it would just get leaked?

 

[Rsps Buyer]

Is their really an private area for jmods/pmod meetings?

Yes it was a room that looked like a basement, nothing special. And @Brendan only private information we receive is about meetings, bot busts, etc. and occasionally about some updates.

Glad you skipped my post.

Luckily this basically answered my question

 

[Cowers]

does it ever get annoying being a player mod? like people always bugging you ingame

 

[Law Abiding]

Interesting



This

And I remember people sucking up hard in mod mmg's cc way back haha

Nonetheless I'm still curious, how long did it take for you to receive pmod? (e.g. were you explicitly going for it?)

I remember a friend who I played with was really chill, after I stopped playing for some time and came back on, they were pmod and were really stuck up lmao

Sorry about that I didn't realize you had a question. When I was promoted plods didn't exist in the past so I wasn't going for it!

@Cowers

It did get annoying
Sometimes especially if you accidentally type in a crowded world

Did u ever get any other benefit besides information about incoming things and fact you could mute people?

I made a couple billion muting rival dicing ccs which at the time was worth a lot more than it is today.

Only made about 1B. I could of definitely made more. I was never into the money, to be honest I never played the game to the fullest I was too into helping out the community so for me that was all I ever wanted and never even earned a 99 to this date. I was able to buy third-age (was a goal) and I gave away almost 90% in the end before I quit. Also, being a player moderator definitely helped me realize I wanted to help people for a living and pushed me to go to medical school starting in August. So as you can see, as shitty as the game has been, it has definitely had a positive impact on me and a lot of players I believe.

No doubt about it.

 

[Starry]

What did you do to obtain mod?

 

[Sneaker]

Seeing as there used to be a recommendation thread for future moderators did any pmods get paid to post a persons name on the thread?
