PMods help Jagex by protecting the community from troublesome players. PMods work hard to create a safe, fun and welcoming gaming environment. They do so out of their passion for the community. Therefore Jagex operates a zero tolerance approach towards any abuse directed towards our volunteer moderators (and any player for that matter), and will take swift action towards anyone who purposefully disrupts or harasses our volunteer moderators.
Our PMods are chosen following a strict set of guidelines relating to account security, offence history and in-game behaviour and not through any formalised application process. If you are selected to become a PMod, then you will be invited via your in-game message centre, so keep an eye out.
When we go through our recruitment periods, messages will be sent out to individuals we believe will positively reflect our values giving them the opportunity to join the team, so the best thing you can do is to be a positive force in our game, help players wherever you can and ensure that your in-game reports are accurate.
