Accusing Someone of Scamming: without proof (text logs DO NOT COUNT AS PROOF)
Begging: asking for free RS items, RS accounts (etc) or asking for a rank or modship on Sythe.org

Who moderates where?
A sectional moderator will moderate whatever section he or she is assigned to, for example a Runescape Moderator will moderate all threads and posts in the Runescape forums. Global moderators have the power to moderate every forum and admins can moderate every forum, as well as having complete control of all forums through the admin panel. All moderators and admins can give any user an infraction (except those of an equal or higher power than them) an infraction in any forum.
