Forums

One of the most interesting things that I have noticed since my hiatus is that another layer of moderation has been added to the forums & the Fmod ranks were purged. [1]




I C Dead Ppl

I was suprised to see the Lmod program reinstated since Jagex did make a statement in 2016 that the Lmod program had been 'killed'. It mentions that Jagex has not been using Lmods since 2015 too. Interesting tidbit since there were Lmod accounts still being used ingame in 2016 when this statement was made.

RuneScape Safety Center


The Saftey Center on this website (as of this date) that discusses Jagex moderation programs does not even list Lmods as part of their moderator program so it is no wonder that the community was wanting to know what was going on.

Pre Fmod Purge

There was some discussion on this thread regarding noticing a culling of the Fmod ranks prior to the thread confirming the Fmod purge.

Promised Increase In CM Engagement On RSOF


It also appears that community engagement activity on RSOF by the CM team has decreased too. I guess that promised increase in RSOF community engagement by the CM team fell by the wayside. Or did it?

I would have never guessed in million years that the promised increased in the CM teams community engagement on RSOF would be by adding another layer of volunteer forum moderators & calling them CM [Account Name]!

Are they volunteers? Who knows. From what I can tell Jagex hasn't formally introduced them to the community as they have done in the past when they have used Lmods as moderators. Nor has Jagex mentioned what company the Lmods are representing as a Jagex partner either.

Like my fellow forumers I asked what Jagex partner the Lmods hailed from too.

I thought it kinda weird that if the Lmods are volunteers that it has been implied that the Lmods will be overseeing the the FMR.

Recap:

The FMR thread is currently moderated by a Jagex employee, which it should be, IMO, since Fmods are Jagex volunteers. The thread is used to 'flag the actions of a Forum Moderator to us (Jagex) should you feel they have acted inappropriately'.

Okay, so let me get this right, the FMR will be moderated in the future by volunteers of an unknown Jagex partner who will be, in essence, moderating Jagexs own volunteers? The optics of this is, well, to put it politely, awful.

Not to mention that this opens the door to a whole bunch of other questions. For instance, will there be an LMR thread in addition to the FMR thread? If the Lmods are Jagex partner volunteers then who will be overseeing the unknown Jagex partner volunteers?

Anyhoo...

Team Slogans




One thing I did notice was that the Lmod team has a slogan! It looks nice when a team has a slogan. The part of the slogan that says 'make (the) forums great again' reminds me of another brands slogan that you can find printed on red baseball caps for some reason though.




Nevertheless, team slogans look nice. I put forth the motion that the Fmod team create a slogan too. Anyone second that motion?


Noticed that a number of Jmods have left Jagex during my hiatus too, including Mod Balance. It appears his last day was:




He must have kept his Official Jagex Twitter account because it still shows active. He continues to be listed on the Jagex Official Jmod Twitter list for the Community Management Team too.
