This is only through invitation. There are no applications for moderator. You will be invited via the messaging system. RuneScape looks for players who follow the rules, basically. If another player tells you you are being considered as a moderator, he is trying to scam you, and should be reported. Also, if you receive an email about being a player moderator, it is a scam.
You get a player moderator by invitation. The invitation will NOT be sent via email, and NOT via ingame chat. Finally, it will NOT redirect you to websites outside of RuneScape. You should get the invitation via the ingame messaging system. If you get any of the above-mentioned, it is a scam.
