==GM Myths==
There are a lot of ideas about what a GM can and cannot do. In a lot of cases they are happy to surprise you! However here is a short list of some things they can't help you with.
* Locating corpses - There are no tools to do this.
* Destroying abandoned structures/objects - GMs are under very specific guidelines for item destruction. Generally 'only in the event of a bug or exploit' is a good guideline to expect.
* Spawning animals - Unfortunately if your pet gets stuck somehow the only thing a GM can do is put it out of its misery. Spawn rights are reserved for Devs and the Head GM and are very rarely used in game.

===The Team===
Please refer to the forum post [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/4976-gm-ca-fm-team-list/ Team List] for the current list of GM's
* Demigod - This is the standard GM. Most of their abilities are for collecting information and destruction.
* Arch GM - On top of the standard GM abilities, these GMs can also summon new items and creatures. Their main task is replacing items and creature loss due to bugs.
* Lead GM - These GMs handle various tasks assigned to them by the Head GM. They have no extra abilities or authority above the standard GM
* Lead CM - Lead Chat Moderator. Manages all CA's, CM's and handles chat moderation complaints.
* Lead FM - Lead forum moderator. Manges all board moderators and handles board moderation complaints.
==Spotting a fake GM==
The entire staff (except CAs) are immune to the /ignore command. As a good practice, if someone contacts you claiming to be a GM, immediately issue a /ignore on their name. Issuing /ignore Oracle in chat results in "You may not ignore Oracle." and thus is a trusted person to talk to.
Another way is to attempt to give the person a negative reputation in a settlement, the game will tell you:"please make sure that <staffmember name> is a normal player."
All GM avatars have either a yellow or white outline.
