I'm going to have to disagree with this, I can see this leading to a highly abused function. The GMs could keep the PM secret, but word always finds a way to get out. And the Player Mod would be biased to friends and people who they personally dislike. Also- how is the player suppose to judge what is a mutable offence? People fight all the time, people have conflicts of opinions, that doesn't necessarily require being muted.
As for the player not being able to communicate with others....that's just silly. That literally defeats the purpose of the social aspect of the game. Also, just because they wouldn't be allowed to converse with others, does not protect them from being harassed themselves, which just leads to more abuse of the power, muting people who harass them.
Sure, according to OP, the people who qualify would have to have zero offenses and be obligated to follow rules, but there will always be at least one person who lets it go to their head, acts too emotionally, or just disregards the original purpose of the Player Moderator program.
Having player moderators is a hard no, and you can just report people for harassment via tickets. The GMs do look at and solve tickets, despite popular belief that they don't.
