A '''Moderator''' (often called a '''Mod''') is a person designated by [[Jagex]] to keep ''[[RuneScape]]'' an enjoyable place. Just about the only requirement to become a [[Player Moderator|Player]] or [[Forum Moderator]] is that the player in question has to be noticed by Jagex as a player worthy and trustworthy of the status. To become a [[Jagex Moderator]], someone has to work for Jagex in person, as "over the web"-styled jobs are not offered. Different types of Moderators include:

|Next, these are players who have achieved both player and forum moderator status. Some of the Jagex moderators have given their personal account dual status. There was a time when Jagex did not give players Dual Moderator status, but now some players have received it. There are approximately 30 dual moderators currently. They do not have both crown symbols next to their usernames.<ref name="Dual and Triple mods">[http://forum-fo.funorb.com/forums.ws?23,24,153,41490 A FunOrb forum moderator explains about Dual and Triple mods.]</ref>

== Dual Moderators ==
'''Dual Moderators''' are Players who have both [[Player Moderator]] and [[Forum Moderator]] status.

Several years ago, Jagex changed the policy such that a player cannot be both an in-game moderator and a forum moderator.<ref name="Dual and Triple mods"/> Players who had the "Dual Moderator" status before the change were grandfathered in. For a certain period, when a player became either a player or forum moderator, they could not be chosen for the other, unless they had their moderator status revoked at some time and earned the other status later on. It is said that only few dual moderators exist although, it has been confirmed on the forums by [[Jagex]] and by some forum mods, that there are many more than that, but they are not allowed to reveal it to normal players due to the player moderator rules. Jagex changed the policy back and new people can now be Dual moderators..<ref name="Dual and Triple mods"/>

== Are You Community Focused ==
On the fifth of August, 2009 - Jagex opened up a thread called, "Are You Community Focused". This thread allowed players to post telling Jagex they are interested in becoming a RuneScape Player Moderator or Forum Moderator. The thread remained open for more than eight months, and accumulated over 2,000 pages (20,000+ posts). The thread was once declared by a Jagex Moderator to be a permanent sticky.

The thread, however, was deleted due to various forum changes. Though it was reposted on [[8 April]] [[2010]] and accumulated over 1,000 additional pages of posts, Mod Emilee confirmed on 18 October 2010 that the thread ''Are You Community Focused'' is removed and will not come back. The thread did not fulfill its purpose as well as other Player Moderator recruitment methods.
