So that's how Pmods get chosen on this game.


But seriously, shouldn't you purple people eaters be like..."Hey yo, when you hired me you said this would happen, only it hasn't, so...like..." ...?

It's definitely been brought up in the past quite a few times, and there was always a technical/security hurdle that Jagex was working on that prevented it happening. I assume it's to do with JMod accounts requiring backend access, which as we know is a real pain to access if you're not in the Jagex office, and the fact that we're 3rd party... so there's probably a mess of legal framework and paperwork to go through to make it happen, in addition to the technical side.

We do everything we can with the tools we have, but unfortunately in regards to access to that, we're not really in a position to do much other than inquire to Jagex about it when we can. I still hold out hope that it'll happen eventually, as Jagex continues to keep us around and seem very happy with our work and has mentioned recently they're making strides with figuring it out.

Anyway, fingers crossed on this in the future, but for the time being unfortunately it's not really a viable alternative.

You'd hope they could amend the access to the forums instead of amending your accounts into 'Jmods' Per sé if that solves anything. Whether that involves giving CMs more privileges or moving forum privileges downward, it could be done but as you say, It depends on legal/policy framework. It's nice to be acknowledged by Jagex for your work as it certainly shows from the players end.

@S Palpatine Certainly not a silver crown over here. My teenage years were not some of my finest..

and quite honestly I think there are still subforums I've never stepped a toe into... Same here - you find a subforum with a community of people who regularly post there, and stay there. I know there's quite a few forums that I've not even posted in - most forumers are probably the same.

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

The Community Led Billing/Tech centers are certainly a good example of that. For obvious reasons, it's nice to see answers for questions there from people whom genuinely know what they're talking about (-seemingly) .

I watch many a player become moderators and their posts stopped being friendly, helpful advice that got them the crown to only enforcing rules and responding to reports, which is sad to see as many of them were fantastic contributors

From personal experience as well, I'd imagine it's mostly due to more or less feeling burnt out on the role or trying to juggle real life and voluntary obligations; that debatably-yes, can have a balance to mix the two -- especially nowadays. This all added onto the pressure of feeling the standards for which you publicly display yourself are constantly judged by not only the developers, but the players as well. Should you then request to step down, even temporarily? Yes, probly'.

But saying that, how many inactive forum mods are there? I think it's common knowledge some Jmods have their own accounts modded, for obvious reasons they're best placed to interpret and act on the rules. But a lot of forums mods are inactive and should probably step down.
