A few months back I had a run in with a knight named Raeknight, who claimed to be a moderator? Is he legit? O.O I thought rules were supposed to be you weren't supposed to run around telling people you are of certain OOO employment status... >.>
Is this guy legit?

Probably not, from what I
Probably not, from what I understand, it is a VERY big no-no to reveal that you work for OOO when only playing for fun, as they must use seperate accounts. Though if an admin could clarify...

Did he have the tags
Did he have the tags <.Game Master.> & <.Three Rings.> ? Guessing no.
Like isk said GM's have special armor.
If he is a GM that's playing on a "for fun" account, then he's definitely not a GM anymore.
So either way
No, not a mod.

Two easy solutions.
Two easy solutions.
1. Check gm list http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Game_Master
2."Game Masters take their names from Greek gods, titans, or weather patterns and natural phenomena."
'Raeknight' doesnt sound like any of that. A quick google search can also confrim that.

Rule of thumb
Anyone saying they're a mod when it's not painstakingly obvious that they are, is most definately NOT a mod.

Okay.
Truth is, this guy said I was banned from doing Jelly King runs, so I've been avoiding doing Jelly king for amonth now, cuz I'm scared of getting banned from the game. =< I love Spiral Knights, and don't wanna get in trouble.

Unless it says GM in front of
Unless it says GM in front of their name they are bluffing. In fact, that's actually an offense that can get them banned if you report it as it happens.

Well its been a while now, haven't seen the guy since, and based on the info, it appears he was bluffing/lying. Thanks guys, I'm gonna go back to playing JK now. I missed that oversized gelatinous cube... =<

Daarke, I'm sorry, but I laughed at the fact that you didn't do JK for months 'cause of some dude impersonated a GM. As people have said, it's pretty obvious if someone is a GM or not. You can also check the list of GMs if you're still not sure.

This reminded me of a time when I saw a guy going around Haven asking people how old they were. When I asked him why he wanted to know my age, he said that SEGA had sent him to interview people about that to know the average age of SK players.

O.o
Shouldn't have put yourself on the forums then. This happened a few weeks ago, when a scammer was called out. He decided to use his own account and another infamous scammer to prove that he was in fact an angel who was teaching lessons to the unworthy. Turns out that account was his brothers.
Hilarity ensues.
Ban hammer went whoosh.

Hilarity ensues, v.1.2a
Dude, your other post just got taken down. Remain calm and carry on or something: unless your name is Chris or Magnus or you're a long-time player (by long-time I say 6+ months), you have no reason to start acting like the sky is falling. (That is, of course, unless you're under-aged, which violates ANOTHER rule of the ToS).
tl;dr: Stop complaining, man. You apologized, now let the GMs act.

@Raeknight
Stop crying and accept your banned fate. Apologies will never change things now...maybe. (that sounded too serious o;)

Where's that ban hammer?
Impersonating a mod is player 101. You don't do it unless:
A: You're a mod, and think someone should know because they're being.... For the sake of the PG-13 rating across multiple sites, I'll say 'annoying'.
B: You PLAN ON GETTING BAN HAMMERED!
C: You're a troll and fall under B as well, in which case you have an alternate IP and account awaiting further trolling
D: You're extremely desperate for attention. (Which again, results in ban hammerage... or at the bare minimum a strike on your account, which means the true mods will be watching for your account name.)

If you're not sure whether
If you're not sure whether someone's a mod, always feel free to submit a support request in game to the GM who IS on duty, and ask.
Cronus has a special facial expression reserved for those who impersonate Three Rings staff. No one wants to see that.

In my experience, 99% of
In my experience, 99% of people who want to be mods are the exact same people you don't want as mods. And the 99% of people who would make good mods don't want to be, because it is a lot of work to remain impartial, helpful and professional with hundreds of screaming players and/or children.
Thanks for the great work, Eury! Same to the GMs who have to deal with in-game crises.

WAT KIND OF GM BANNS U FOR DOIN JK RUNS???
I saw that Noob in Haven. Magic Cloak? Yeah, he's not a MOD. MODs are Purple & they have a Specific Title Under their Name/Guild.
EDIT: REPORT THAT SUCKA! D:<
Also, if he really was a MOD, his Text in the Chat Box would be Purple.
