For those of you interested in Mod Reach, heres a video I did about him a year or so ago. Note: It does contain spoilers for Monkey Madness 2
ua-cam.com/video/o2-FF-1PDvw/v-deo.html
What was Infinity exposed of? Jagex team are allowed to have a history of goldfarming and RWT, etc. before they were working at Jagex. There is nothing wrong with it. Just like I was permanently banned for Goldfarming, but got it lifted after almost 10 years.
@@slobodanvukasin1658 Wailord ex just got shadowbanned from the subreddit
Can you make one on Mod Jed too? Always wondered about the full story on him. Enjoyed this vid, nice work :)
@colonello I knew Nathan before he got offered a job at Jagex. I met him at RuneFest 2011. As soon as Mod Mark gave Nathan, Daniel and Tom a job, Nathan changed and lost a lot of fans/staff at RuneZone. He started to run the fansite like how you'd run a business. Then when I went to RuneFest 2014, I asked Mod Mark if I could be a player moderator. This was successful, and Nathan did not like this. I then also made friends with Mod Mark and I got a invite to visit Jagex for my birthday in 2014. Nathan really did not like this, and for some reason I was fired from rune.tips which was a chat support service made by Nathan which got popular due to his position at Jagex and Mod Mark tweeting about it. Things started to get really weird for me as a P-Mod, things were going weird for my account, and AS SOON as mod Mark left Jagex, I was de-modded and framed! There was chat logs that I know weren't from me, but people like Mod Jane would not listen to me. Since then, 2015, I have not played RuneScape since. I went to 2 more RuneFest's and tried to speak to some J-Mods about the situation, but they couldn't do anything about it (RS name Marbian)
The only reason why Nathan etc were hired were the same reason why people like RuneShark, Archie etc got hired. Mod Mark had an initiative to offer big players jobs to help make the community better. If anything, it only made it worse.
I was expecting Mod Jed for some reason
I could see why, I think either one could be considered the most corrupt :)
Infinity didn't seem to rig $20,000 competitions, or bug exploit the game then RWT. (Jed and Reach)
@@ColonelloRS nah i'm quite certain jed is more corrupt, all infinity did was some power abuse, jagex don't care whether you rwt'd in the past as long as you don't do it while you work for them. Mod jed on the other hand stole over a million dollars worth of gp, leaked people's personal information and ip's etc. Which seems more worthy of the term corrupt
@@ColonelloRS next video about Jed maybe?
What about mod audi
Jed used confidential info to hack players who had over 5b in game.... way more corrupt then some fan site drama 😂
than*
an employee used to give me alt emails on abandoned accounts with high bank/inventory value and ask me to hack them to "recover" my account...won't say any names(but they also were a fan of the yahoo chat hacking scene) but i did my time so they can't say shit to me now
@@Aaron-zu3xn oh well.
@@Aaron-zu3xn does he still work for Jamflex?
@@RileyBanksWho in remember shit like this
Never even heard of Mod Infinity. I 100% expected Mod Jed.
Same.
Mod Infinity was mainly known for his roles as a P-Mod curator within community management around those years. He became fairly strong opposition against the security-based segment of the P-Mod team at that time (particularly the anti-rwit team, which first connected RuneZone to suspected rwit).
Jed most corrupt mod, or Reach. who tf is infinity even
Nice try mod infinity
Want to see a video on those 2
JED is infinity I think.
@@xelm_ Jed and Infinity are definitely not the same person.
infinity is a guy who went on a power trip. thought he had all the power and could do what ever he wanted to people he didnt like.
SALS is the true OG I used them when I was a kid. Love sals.
Didn't understand your comment until I saw the full Sals Realm in the video. Then it all came flashing back
YES
Never heard of sals...i used runehq.
@PhillipMargrave Same I used both omg
@@killazftw are you Neo Avatars?
i thought it would be mod jed. I dont even know who mod inf is
Exactly why I made this video, soooo many people haven't heard of him/forgot about him
I don'tt either lmao
Yea I hadn't heard of him either, but his reign was during *the break*
@@trombonist135 trolol just smacked any ego he had right out the window. "he was popular, but it was when RuneScape was unpopular" lol
The gay mod infinity
Goshdang dude, seeing old Sal's takes me back to before I even knew what Wiki's were.
Right in the nostalgia.
Conflict of interest is why hiring in the community is a delicate process. This guy set some nice highs to strive for /s
Sapphire Crook dude same! Made me feel 14 all over again
Exactly, Sal's was a very old and outdated website. So, I see no problem with downmoting it
After spending some time around the community moderators for a AAA game I can understand why it makes sense to get someone from the comunnity but in that time I also saw how easily those people can change or twist their powers for their own benefit. Luckily I don't think I personally had to deal with any of that but you never really know how someone will handle the power.
@@parabalani RuneScape in general is pretty dated. Shame to see an OG group demoted.
Sal's Realm was my fansite of choice. I actually contributed to their Barrows guide! My part was the one showing the myreque tunnel fairy ring. Going back there the old guide is still there too. Aah but now we have barrows teletabs...
I actually used that for a time thanks!
Sal’s Realm got me through so so many quests back in the day
Sal's Realm is the one that held my hands through all these years
To clear up the luring story at @3:30, it was actually an anti lure, one of the lurers says “it was his idea, the rules were clear” referring to the ‘victim’ trying to get an unsuspecting noob to do a dangerous purple portal clan wars fight. When the ‘victim’ got killed, mod infinity threatened to BAN the other players, including the clueless noob.
And here I was thinking he was gonna talk about Mod Jed.
Man. OSRS mods are either saints or the literal incarnation of the devil.
Doesn't seem to be any in-between.
we dont hear about the inbetween normies. nuttin special.
doubt temp muting a few people counts as incarnation of the devil bro
Give a human just a speck of power.
Good to see after well over a decade Jagex is still being Jagex
make that 2 decades, some things never change haha!
I wouldn't be surprised if there are bigger things going on behind Jagex altogether. After 2016, Jagex is owned by Chinese investment companies.
Scrolling through all these comments of people saying they expected Jed. Was I the only weirdo half expecting Mod Reach?
i was expecting reach too
Mod reach didnt do anything watch the interview with him
Free Mod Reach
Mod reach was mod Audi right?
@@TheBootyWrangler Yeah, he's actually a really good guy and was innocent. It was just the spergs from oldschool that made him out to be a bad guy. The game would be a lot better if he was still on the team but I don't think he wants to be apart of it anymore. I encourage you to check out his interview on youtube.
This all just seems like petty stuff lol. I was waiting for the “juicy” part to come and it never did. Jed was way more corrupt, he actually interfered with DMM and helped ROT DDOS people for profit, alleged rigging polls etc, big things that actually effect the game. Basically this guy temp muted a few noobs who wanted to be smart with a jmod and used to rwt/bot before he was a jmod? Doesn’t really matter what he used to do before he worked there imo, Chris Archie used to be promote dice clans all the time back in the day, now he’s a jmod, hell, Mod Jacmob literally owned the biggest bot client in the game before he was hired. Past should be left in the past imo
The moralizing about him not muting a guy for saying "fgt" was really sad lol. I mean, come on. Other mods abused players, promoted their own pet causes, sold gold illegally, scammed people, hacked... This guy is just a dick at worst.
@@thelastdwemer thelastdwemer The person didn't want Mod Infinity to mute the other player they wanted a PMod to mute them. They then sent a complaint about how the Pmod wouldn't mute the player, and Mod Infinity sided with the Pmod. He was right in his responce, PMods are just players with extra abilities and as such should not have to be responsible for muting someone when another person has a complaint about them. Mod Infinity was completely justified by siding with the PMod.
@@ICaligvla I agree. He was completely justified, and players should be allowed to say things like that. You can just ignore people ingame if they're bothering you, none of these people need mods to salve their bruised egos.
@@thelastdwemer It depends on the game. Some games don't care what you say, others can (and will) mute you for saying bad words, and they're completely in their right to do so. The only problems come when an actual moderator picks and chooses which person to mute. Either punish everything or nothing at all.
the only thing that really seemed particularly severe was forging court documents, imo that should have gotten him tossed in jail
"at least multiple times" pretty accurate
RuneHQ Sal's Realm and Tip.It the memories 😭😭
and runehq
RuneHQ was the best shit ever.
Still use tip.it
Zybez!
omg sal's 😭
Damn sals realm takes me back, just like the other day someone asked me if i remember Zybez and i almost fell out of my chair
6:05 Lmao imagine hitting a 2 with an elder maul on a Varrock goblin
omg Sal's realm! I had completely forgotten about that site. I remember doing grand tree and monkey madness waaaaay back using their site. Good times.
Really appreciate the content right now - isolation sending me crazy!
Good thing you made a video on this. I remember him instructing someone in Player Support to give my then Pmod account some warnings which automatically made me lose the Pmod after I called him some bad words in a chat app he had friends on lol
gg infinity
I've said it before and ill say it again. something about your outro hits different man. I love it
Love the videos! Really informative and enternaining and also quite well-produced. Keep up the good work!
Mod Infinity also tried to take over several player-led friends chats, including one that was P-mod led and dealt with rwit-prevention (during the years listed, dealing with several thousand instances per day). He tried to poach numerous of our ranks, until they found that he had zero organization and basically wasn't doing anything. We've suspected, though never were able to prove, that he targeted several of our ranks with de-mods in retaliation for largely resisting his poaching attempts.
We can, however, corroborate that he invited several of his friends to be P-Mods. Most of them really weren't good people at all.
I used to use Sals realm so much, totally forgot about it until you mentioned it in this video lol. Nostalgia bomb
i love, we love your videos and we dont want you to think that we only appreciate 5bois5bil, keep up the great content!
Mod Infinity; Forges court documents, Rwted, falsely kicks players from other peoples cc's, mutes players for no reason and continues to be allowed to work for Jagex. Mod Silent; Kills a stream ragger - fired.
i feel like you should’ve expanded on him forging court documents a bit more, that’s literally a crime
If you visit Zezima's CC nowadays 22 kicks is nothing. They're all a bunch of Ice Poseidon refugees now.
for real tho,mods are pretty retarded and overall most toxic cc ,i got kicked for talking about cocaine lol shits fucking stupid
Fast forward a couple of years: New update - Mod Trident.
Man I love your videos. Runescape is such a classic and learning it's history is really neat. Your research and delivery is great keep up the good work, Man. I barely play but I love these videos.

Another great video man keep the content coming i love them
Where's my Corona squad?
We are here fella, we are here....
Dying of pneumonia.
How did u put that dagger in ur name
@@Thatlandydefenderdriver I clicked that join button next to the subscribe button. It costs money, but I am able to support Jackson (Colonello) with a bit of money each month.
Amazing work, love this channel.
“this isnt meant to be a hit piece on infinity”
title of the video: “how runescapes most corrupt mod got exposed”
seriously?
Gotta love shit like this. People are weird.
Absolute garbage. “This guy is an absolute piece of shit!...But don’t tell him i said so”
Gtfo
I saw that as "nothing personnel, kid"
It's called clickbait
danielrowling it would still be clickbait if he stuck to his guns in the video and said it was a hit piece. instead he chose to do some weird fence sitting where he is putting out a clickbait hitpiece for views, but trying to claim hes not doing that to appear a better/more fair person.
if youre gunna shit on someone for views commit to it, explain why its justified. dont make a hitpiece and say u dont mean offense by it.
Mod Infinity was a pretty scummy guy. I never understood why the forged court documents weren't an on-the-spot terminable offense. Still, as much of a scumbag as Mod Infinity was, I would have expected this to be about Mod Jed.
“Muted players that didn’t agree” I’ve always been muted for pissing off a mod never broke a rule they don’t like that you have a soul
Don't piss off a mod then lol
@@MrGdai101 "Don't piss off a mod then lol" Very helpful. Excellent information. Thank you. This guy gets the point that mods should not be held to higher standards. He knows that we must always walk on eggshells around those with power, for fear of their wrath.
But seriously, you've never met someone so power-hungry, insecure, or mean-spirited that they're always looking for an excuse to be a jerk?
@@chunnil4898 if being toxic is something you absolutely must do, pay the consequences its that simple. Be a good person and this wouldnt apply to you.
@@MrGdai101 No no, don't you move those goalposts, mister! OP and I were talking about pissing off a P-mod, which can be accomplished without toxicity. Its easy! Find the self-important one and disagree with an incorrect statement.
"Be a good person and this wouldn't apply to you." Laughable! You've never heard of bullying?
Also, you're clearly projecting your toxicity onto me. Ew, guy named Dildo of Destiny.
@@chunnil4898 Kinda funny you mention moving the goalposts and then use ad hominem on his name 😂 You likely are toxic don't lie. I do agree with your side of the argument though.
I presume that infinity got hired at Twitch.
Daaaaang

This throws me back to the time I was still writing and reviewing guides for RuneVillage. That was pretty much the start of my programming career...
Yet somehow I had never come across any of this and it explains so much to me about what I saw happening with RuneZone.
Hell yea Ive been waiting for this video :P
Enjoy :)
I miss sals realm. I forgot about it until this video but 10-15 years ago I was always on there.
Wow I haven’t heard about Sal’s Realm in forever. Used to use them from all my quests back in like 06. Fucking wow nostalgia
Sals realm was the Og site back in day
I love how we went from getting a little ban-crazy to forging court documents and committing a literal crime 💀💀💀
I never knew about any of this, another great video man!
I'm actually so baffled that 1000s of willing people would want to work at Jagex to the best of their ability. But somehow Jagex's incompetence hires absolute nonces.
Has Jagex had a literal nonce problem yet?
I think people may have forgotten what this word means otherwise.
@@tenchimuyo69 Yes in 2021 Ian Tyler the audio engineer behind most of Runescape's soundtrack was sentenced to 22 months in prison for sexually assaulting a 13 year old.
@@tenchimuyo69 as an American I heard it used colloquially in British film works and shows, and a friend of mine told me to definitely not use the word lightly. Thought it was just "a fucking idiot" until just a few years ago.
If Infinity invaded my clan, He'd be immediately kicked and permabanned for breaking the rule concerning guest rights: They may speak in the clan chat but they are required to be respectful of all official clan members at all times, failure to adhere to this rule will result in instant kicking, further refusal or joining under a different name WILL RESULT IN BEING banned from the clan permanently.
Man I actually am a member of Sals Realm, and I remember this stuff happening live what the hell.
Some nostalgia right here
Great content man. This is the first video I’ve ever watched from you. I know, I’m sorry but I subscribed. :D
Thanks for the sub!
Sam's realm helped me do so many quests back in the day, I did mm for the first time guided by it
i still think the entire office should've been legally cleared to beat the sh*t out of jed in the parking lot
Infinity seems like one of those moderators in r/gaming that dont like being wrong
but hes hot
@@SC-hi6tp You should sit on his face. Maybe you'll make P-mod!
Maybe it's me, but I found this video kind of hard to follow. I think pausing at 9:44 shows a good overview for why Infinity was a bad mod supposedly. However, I think you have done your research very well! But I think your video could benefit from some editing, explaining things more calmly and maybe give a summary. You
Yo those guys at the studio look just like I’d imagine 😂
I have also seen ads for other games on the runescape site back it the day
When is the 5 boys 5 bil coming back? Still patiently waiting for it :)
Was for sure expecting Mod Jed maybe because I was actually playing still when that Jed situation happened.
When I saw the footage of saber six and mod infinity At the arena gave me chills because I knew saber Six irl and in game so good to see her beautiful smile after so long!
lmao did you put Zezimas wedding in the background? nice
Oh that's funny. The post on Reddit about infinity helping some guy get his items back after being lured was mine!
Still fbanned by Balance and Infinity. Such a throwback thanks
Amazing video keep it up !! :D
Thank you very much!!
I'm still a Sals Realm member, rocking Sals for 12 years now. Time flies..
I used to use Sals almost exclusively back in the day, good times. :)
@@ColonelloRS most of us stayed around for RS3, still a pretty active in game community to this day. Pretty amazing to be in a single clan for over a decade lol
Video on trident coming soon
runezone was a radio station that was also linked with swiftkit back in the days, if you had swiftkit you can play runezone radio there and most people did
I doubt 'most people did' considering nobody knew wtf it was/nor cared despite all the ways infinity tried to push it as a prominent fansite. This was not a notable fansite whatsoever at any moment in Runescape's history.
0:58 That's a nice FV103 Spartan right there.
I immediately like this dudes video when I see it.
Around 2015, or maybe even earlier, I had been permanently muted on my runescape main account for nearly 10 years. I had been playing since 01, was muted sometime in 06 for saying in game some things that could have gotten me some jail time. ~2014/2015 I actually tweeted mod infinity, as well as every other Jmod I could find easily apologized and asked them to review my mute. Each of them replied back the typical use appeal system (duh I already did that). Mod Infinity actually messaged me and said he had removed the perm mute. Corrupt? Sure. I'd venture to say most "OG" players have major rules at some point. Hated? not by me, he actually gave the game and players time and attention rather than an automated message.
Oh man the sw gameplay in the background, I miss that shit
Ah yes, Sal's Realm. Memories...
It's Over 9000!!!! XXD
chillindude hi
Let's not forget when Staking Fc's were banned in RS3, Mod Infinity banned several players hosting for other players TWO HOURS before the update to the TOS, resulting in an outrage in that area of the community, seeing as when they were banned, it was not a bannable offence. At least a few of those players' bans were never lifted. I'm not even sure if any were.
Remember when J-mods were loved and respected back in 2000-2006?
Yeah. Better than OSRS J-mods today...
I was a member of RuneZone, and for what it was community wise atleast, the people were amazing. Made some friends through some years, hosted some fantastic events and made some irreplaceable Runescape memories.
It's downfall was sad to say the least, of which it only led for Infinity and Balance to abandon the RuneZone project for their new-found jobs, to conclude to other things too.
Years on I hope this is all something we've gained something or learned from.
I use to use Sal’s realm when I played. Never heard of that pleb runezone.
If this takes place post-2013, then this isn't Runescape 2....the Runescape 3 era had already begun.
Mod Jed needs a video now.
I remember listening to Runezone Radio. I remember a few weeks before they shut it down that it was because the live DJ had their license expired or will expire. RuneRadio inspired me to become a Internet DJ with my own license, which costs a crap ton of cash.
Hey man, what transitions do you use on the regular? or if anyone could enlighten me what transition was used at 05:54
that explains all falsely banned accounts recently
Great video, thanks for helping me get through the quarantine bordomness.
I had no idea this was a thing
Homie was on a HUGE power trip.
I was expecting Jed. Tbh I don't even remeber what Infinity did
Activating gamer gloves
Lmfao, I used to "Work" for RuneZone when it was popular. Owners were a joke but a lot of the staff we're pretty chill.
doin them hours ;)
Oh look runescape historian uploaded again
Due to recency bias, I was expected Jed and reach. But I can see how infinity is hated about equally.
Damm only real ogs remember runehq and sals realm
At least multiple times really got me 😂
never heard of this dude...also expected Jed...lol
dude youre good i just listen to the audio while im pvming
Crazy, I remember the day he went around kicking everyone because I was in a few chats when it happened, seemed to me like he was kicking people at randomly who swore at all.
Great video! I was a staff member on Runezone from only a few months after it launched and was active in the community for years as well as being a part of the merger with RunescapeZ. Would be more than happy to answer any lingering questions if I have the answer. I would like to point out though that I believe Runezone achieved platinum status or was very close before Nathan and Dan became Jmods. The drive to push for platinum was a very strong staff goal and I do remember personally working hard to achieve the gold status, and I know the same could be assumed about platinum. My discord is - Condawg#2820 if I can answer anything.
Mod Infinity was obviously bullied when he was kid cut him some slack, but he'd be a good police officer. Lol
He actually is a police officer now lol
I wouldn't say corrupt but wow, his ego is enormous considering he's just a community manager. That's like a nice way of saying you're a babysitter.
I was really expecting mod jed tbh
Will a video like this come out for P-Mods as well? I remember Twillow making life hell for a lot of forum roleplayers back in the day, but I'm sure there were worse than her too.
