In RuneScape, some players and moderators get a special icon in front of their name. What are all of them, and what do they mean?

I'm asking because I saw one I do not recognize, and I want to learn more.

This is the one I am specifically asking about, though I want to learn about all of them.

The one in question you point out denotes a player that is an Ironman. Check out this link on the wiki. There are 7 badges currently in the game including this one.

  • There are 3 crown's, gold, silver, and purple which represent Jagex Mods, Player Mods, and Community Partners (AKA Local Mods) respectively .
  • The blue star shows a player who has purchased premium membership (see here). Note that player mods who have purchased this package will show a silver star.
  • A red skull which shows a Hardcore Ironman.

Also there is a hidden eighth badge for Forum Mods that is a green crown. This one does not show in game though and only shows on the forums.
