Fun fact - at one point, Jagex didn't do dual moderators. They later changed that policy, allowing members of one team to be invited to the other if they would be a good fit for the other team and met whatever recruitment criteria Jagex had set out for that team.
With that in mind, I think there's a few things worth noting here:
- Teams are managed by different groups within Jagex who work independently to each other. FMods are managed by the Community Management team. PMods are managed by Player Support.
- With the above point in mind, I think the favoritism argument is pretty moot, since recruitment would therefore be handled by different teams based on their different focuses. CM would recruit FMods based on their observations of a player's forum contributions (which has nothing to do with their in-game status). Player Support would recruit PMods based on their observations of a player's in-game conduct.
All things considered, there are approximately 2k PMods (per Jagex's Player Moderators thread), and 30 FMods currently on the FMod list. Even in a best case scenario where every FMod was also a PMod (which isn't the case), this really is about an extremely small number of individuals. If a player possesses the qualities to be a member of both teams, which are vastly different from each other, I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to be a member of both.
Potentially corrupt team members has nothing to do with a player being a member of more than one team, and those concerns have always been dealt with very promptly by curators when they arise.
I agree with Tenebri, I really don't see any positives that come from implementing something like this. If anything, this would negatively impact the teams, since you may be forcing some team members to pick one over the other when they have been making positive contributions to both teams for a very long time.
