do we need a new "brand" of mod in runescape?

there are so many autoers in runescape now, so many more than there were when i first started. they are not only in free to play any more, there are many many in pay to play as well. whether they are fishing bot, mining bots or wood cutting bots, they swarm almost every server there is, and they are easy to spot! the thing is, only so many can be reported at any one time, you have to take into account that you need to type in their username, often it is hard to remember the exact spelling or how many numbers or spaces are in the name, then there is the fact that you can only report once every 60 seconds, meaning if you are at the yew trees south of falador, or in the fishing guild, you can only report a few of the many that are there. (i have seen up to 20 stood waiting for a yew to re-appear). jagex are trying their best to look into every report that they get and banning as many of these bots as they possibly can, but it still isn't working, more and more of them jump off tutorial island every day! should jagex now look into making a new "brand" of mod? ones that sre specifically mods just to help clean up the autoers? they could have a bronze crown (rather than the silver for player mods or gold for jagex mods) and they could log in just to stand in certain areas that are full of autoers. if jagex don't have enough staff to do such things then maybe they could enlist yet more players for this purpose, and ask them to just check once or twice while they are online. what do you guys think?

a brand new type of mod we be brilliant. the only job apart from playing rs would just to look out for autos. it would be good if they could create a random for a person they think is autoing, and if they dont respond to it they could like telport them to somewhere else and ban them. i think that the report macroing option would be ideal aswell as most autoes hav stupid names that you cant remember.

I agree to this post 100% the bronze mod is a great idea i think you should put it up in runescape forums suggestions im sure jagex would take that into consideration but on the other hand if you are a bronze mod youd have to hang out at bot palces whicha re usually decolate and youd have ultimatly no life in runescape except for reporting bots your whole runescape existence and that is plain boring.

It wouldn't work. First Jagex needs to figure out the "new aryan" (auto that was best for its time, got leaked to Jagex) which is the chinese bot called RS Demon. Which is why half the little autoers have chinese names the others probably have RS Demon they just choose a different name. To get rid of this MASSIVE problem Jagex needs to figure out how to detect this autoer like they did to the aryan bot.
