if you were requested to be a mod...

May 26, 2007 11:32am CST
would you take up the offer? i love playing runescape, and i hate it when i see people blatently breaking the rules, like typing in websites, swearing around the censor, autoing and trying to scam people. it would be nice to have the more detailed report function, but i am not sure i would want to be a player mod. i moderate on a forum that is about runescape, and it's not always easy "work", i have to deal with all sorts of people with all sorts of attitudes alot of the time. i have a few player mods on my friends list, and i have met a fair few in game, and to be honest, i find that they get bugged alot, asked many questions just about why they have a crown near their name, or do they get paid to be mods... it must get very annoying! the mods that i know, now have to keep private chat off unless they use the forums to trade, they also don't interact with other players in really crowded areas like they did before the became mods. i'm not sure that i would want to HAVE to play in this way just to be able to do average things in game. how about you guys, if jagex requested you to become a mod, would you?

I'd probably take the job just because I hate scammers.

there is a possibility that i would, but then again i have reasons to not take such a responsibility on. when i became mod of a forum, i was asked by the admin of that site, we were playing in game together and he thought i would make a good mod. i told him that i would need time to think it over, it took me about 2 days to decide, i am glad that i took the job but for unpaid work it can be very stressful, especially since i am one of 4 mods and i am the mod who visits the site most frequently...

I'm a group moderator for several yahoo groups about the game already. I even own one thats a market. I'm happy to do it and have met many of my gaming friends on there.

i would personally accept the mod position just because I would like to have the nice silver crown above my name (= nahh im jokin i would want to become a mod because i like to report people for doing these wrong and i admit i get satisfaction out of reporting people i mean why shouldnt I they did something wrong right? So why not report them.
