These rules exist to ensure that all of our players have a fun and safe environment in which to play and Player moderators have a big part to play in the rules are not broken.

To best manage the role it is vital that our Player moderators read/agree to and follow our codes of conduct. This will go a long way to ensuring that your moderating is done effectively.

When in game always abide by the rules yourself, you should always lead by example. You should go about playing Death Row in the most helpful way possible.Interacting with other players Treat other players as you would expect to be treated, respect is the key to successfully being a Player moderator.
Always keep your chat with other players polite and respectful. Remember people will follow your example.
Obviously you will still go about playing the game in the normal way, however when trading, dueling or doing other in game actions you should always do so in an honest and respectful way. Doing so and setting the standards will encourage everyone to play in this way and the result will be an even better place to play.
How to respond to questions from other players Other players will inevitably ask you questions about being a player moderator. This can sometimes be challenging, especially when you are in the middle of a quest or fighting a monster, but remember that people will be interested. You do not need to respond to every question but be courteous where you can.
Never respond to players questions with rude or impatient answers. It is much better simply to put chat blocks on if you are being disturbed than to answer someone rudely.
Never threaten anyone asking you questions with action against them. Where you see rule breaking, take action but only where it is right to do so.How to respond to rule breaking reports from other players As a Player moderator, you should mute and sometimes ban players when you see them breaking the rules. This does not mean that you are completely bound. We do allow you to play the game.
