Many moons ago, there was an official recruitment thread on the RSOF and to nobody's surprise.. it grew out of control and didn't last as long as you'd hope
. This was in the Jagex Lite forum, iirc? Ultimately, this is how I had thrown my foot in the door where ex-JMod Calm had sent me an invite about a month or so later for the green background, woo! Essentially retiring a year later, I still had a great experience and enjoyed the praise for my past and present contributions to the community from the company I to this day still adore (and financially support too heavily to succumb my addiction
lol
). But alas, times are far different now and the process seems to remain at quite the standstill.
As it has been said many times before.. don't expect it! Genuinely be friendly and helpful to those around you and enjoy the game for what it really is. You can be a Community Champion, er Helper, er whatever it is they call it nowadays without a white crown or green background
. You'll end up feeling all warm and fuzzy about yourself, too!!
Also, iirc, I don't believe PMods can claim to be a PMod on the RSOF. That may have changed over a decade later, idek. lol.

befriend j mods lol
Highly doubt that works, but it probably helps. Anymore I have no clue what JMods are around. Last ones I remember even talking to are Mod Mark, Mod MMG, and Mod Poppy. I'm willing to ask one for PMod status just so I'd be able to mute the advertising/gambling bots. I play enough, so I'm more than willing to help them out. Plus, a JMod can answer all my questions
you cant ask for a pmod status. especially over forums. thats not how you get chosen. imo that kind of hinders it
I wouldn't necessarily say that. A JMod is more than likely to see someone's request and entertain it slightly on the HLF than either just happen stance or meeting in game. Plus JMods lurk this forum, hoping one chimes in. I'll even take a PMod.
Asking shouldn't hinder it. Would they be curious as to why? Of course. I would think they would want players who are experienced and want to help. Realistically, an application form on the HLF would do wonders. Plus, they could answer some FAQs. I think Tenebri is referring to the fact that people who ask for PMods, are usually the ones who aren't fit for it, because they want the crown for the wrong reasons.
Also, having an application form on the HLF, or anywhere for the position would be wrong in my opinion. It'll just attract all the wrong type of players to it.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Also, iirc, I don't believe PMods can claim to be a PMod on the RSOF. That may have changed over a decade later, idek. lol. This exactly. You can still help others out with or without the status, for example, there's several players on the forums who have been helping out for years, knowing full well they'll not ever get FMod (due to lack of positions available, forum activity doesn't warrant anymore, etc), but still do it because they care about the community and want to help out where they can.
Also, PMods still cannot identify themselves on the forums.

If so, a forum mod can either remove or hide the thread if they so choose. I wouldn't have any issue with that at all. Replying with just "Dead Thread" provides nothing constructive to the topic nor conversation at hand, outside of a sweet rhyme. While I agree bumping a thread from a year before is bumping a dead thread, however it seems you've sparked some more discussions for people to continue in, it would be nice if you could reconsider keeping the thread open.
If you do want it locked though, the place to post is the HLF Action Centre , where an LMod will look at the request.

Thanks for the response Nead and Loki!
I don't want it locked
, but if a FMod feels it should be then that's okay too. I know it was over a year old.
I didn't know there was a legitimate thread about applying to be a PMod before. I can understand how it would be hectic and very overwhelming. I also see where bad actors could use it to get PMod and abuse their status, but this is nothing new to me. That's why I said a JMod could pull names and see when it's time. I know there is a 3 month grace period and any wrongdoing, they will lose their PMod status even after that grace period.
I also didn't know a PMod can't say they are on the forums, but I do get why since you can't really tell outside of a FMod.
I do help out with no need to be considered for PMod or anything else, but it's mostly in-game and I normally lurk on the forums every now and then. So I don't expect it. I just know if I want something, I ask for it. Just like a job for example, you wouldn't sit around and wait for a random call for one. You have to go in and apply. Then if you don't hear anything for awhile, you follow up, which I have done with Jagex Support via Twitter.
For me at least, I'm open and honest about it. I want to be able to mute advertising and gambling bots in OSRS/RS3 and be able to have priority reporting so these kind of accounts are muted/banned in a timely manner.
It does get a little discouraging seeing the same accounts or group of accounts on for days, weeks or even months with nothing being done, even after reporting. I rarely see a PMod doing this an my ignore list gets filled very quickly to the point it's full at times and can't add anymore to it. To me, that's not really what the ignore list is for.
I do hope the process is not at a standstill. Just for the fact that they are still needed and having new recruits is great for the game.

Since this thread is on the HLF, only FMods that abuse their power will lock/hide this thread. Best not to give the incentive though. @Chee__RS

Out of curiosity, what is an LMod?
Only Mods I know about are JMods, PMods, and FMods.
