Fmods with alts can they use them in the forums?

If so...

- Can they use them against the rules with no consequences with their Mod accounts??
- How can a Jagex track this? Do they track this?
- If a FMod alt occasionally calls a fellow forumer a belittling name, once, twice, or however many times would they lose there FMod ability?
- If they only belittled someone once or twice does this deserve removal of their Fmod ability?
- If they use different devices for their alts can this be tracked? Would Jagex know their alt accounts?

As a rule of thumb, you don't register more than one account in a forum. It doesn't matter which forum it is.
For Runescape, since your ingame accounts are linked to forum accounts, it's a bit of a different story. I'm not certain, but it's definitely a bad idea to: use multiple accounts to aid in a discussion, item bidding, circumvent warnings, etc.

Can FMods use their alt account unlike other forum users? Unlikely. FMod accounts are regular accounts, which are not created by Jagex, but are their own personal account.
If the FMod accounts were solely for moderating - then yes, they would be able to use their personal account for regular forum usage, similarly to how JMod accounts works - but that's not the case for FMods.

In neither of the afforementioned cases I listed, would it be OK to violate the rules. They are regular users with moderation panels. You can expect that internal matters and decisions won't be shared with the public.

I can only recommend the Forum Moderation Review if you disagree with another moderator's actions. ;) Life is like a camera: Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don't work out, take another shot !

Yes, just like any other player

No, FMods are expected to follow the forum rules on all their accounts. It's a question of the personal integrity expected.

Dong U Dead said :

Yes, Jagex aren't stupid.
(Edit to add: I have no desire to breach the confidentiality rules that I agreed to when I became an FMod, so I am not going to discuss how/when Jagex do this.)

Probably, as this would fall well below the standards expected of FMods on the forums.

Again, Jagex aren't stupid.

Summed it up nicely, and before someone posts you're not an F-mod at one time they were apart of the team. Saving just a bit of paperwork going forward :)

Your thread title ...
FMods Alts Accounts


An "FMod" account is an additional 'Player"-account, added by Jagex.

Take away the "FMod" apart, and you have once again a "Player"-account.

Just deal with it or ignore, anything else is a waste of time and energy. :) :)

Lol ta, yeah I could have phrased that to be a bit less ambiguous, couldn't I? Cheers ;)

Dong U Dead said :
- Can they use them against the rules with no consequences with their Mod accounts?? No player is above the Rules. I'm sure that if an F-Mod is misbehaving on their alt account(s), it will be promptly caught by Jagex or other members of the Moderation team.

Dong U Dead said :
- How can a Jagex track this? Do they track this? I'd presume that the answer to this question may not be publicly available, but just like Jagex is able to check for alt accounts whenever rule-breaking is occurring, it's no different for F-Mods or all Moderators and volunteers for that matter. In fact, they are more scrutinized than anyone else.

Dong U Dead said :
- If a FMod alt occasionally calls a fellow forumer a belittling name, once, twice, or however many times would they lose there FMod ability? Losing their status is always dependent on Jagex and sometimes on themselves if they were to resign from the role. We regular players cannot really speculate or know what determines if an F-Mod loses their status or not, but we may all agree that if they are not behaving "modly", the status may be removed.

Dong U Dead said :
- If they only belittled someone once or twice does this deserve removal of their Fmod ability? This is basically the same question as immediately above and the answer provided also applies here.

Dong U Dead said :
- If they use different devices for their alts can this be tracked? Would Jagex know their alt accounts? Again, this is the same question as above ["How can a Jagex track this? Do they track this?"] and the answer provided then also applies here.
